The prime minister stood outside No 10, his suit getting increasingly wet in steady rain, and promised the electorate he would 'fight for every vote', while in the background Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream could be heard being played nearby

Things can only get better playing in the background is hillarious.
And the wet jacket!
🤣
Things can only get wetter !
Labour ‘97 anyone?
@@souvikrc4499Labour 2024...
The person who got the speaker going is a total legend
Steve Bray I believe
Liz Truss
The police (aka government henchmen) have now banned him from going near Westminster.
That fool lives there complaining about brexit
'My opponent has no plan' says man stood in rain with no umbrella
To be fair he did take the bold action of coming out with no umbrella 😅
You had 14 years to build growth you failed month on month.
And yet somehow retained power - astonishing!
Let's see how the next pm handels is 😆😆, remember it's a global slowdown
@@silentstormstudio4782let's hope the next Pm can spell better than you...
@@silentstormstudio4782 What are you smoking, bud?
14 years? You mean 14 months.
no umbrella totally soaked and music blasting out things can only get better. Chance for the public to get rid of this circus once and for all
And vote for who?
Unfortunately in this neoliberal capitalist system, the alternative will change nothing.
You get a vote. You just don't get a choice.
@@wellingsrob4 Exactly!
@@michaelrch It's pointless!
@@michaelrch things can only get better lol.
Even the weather has given up on Sunak 😂
🤣🤣🤣 Well said
😂😂😂👍🏻
Whoever played Things Can Only Get Better deserves a hatful of medals!!! 😂😂😂😂
Steve Bray, a living legend.
They should have played Singin in the Rain! :D
1000 percent
Sunak's PR and immage consultants are as unless as he is.
1. Pick a sunny day.
2. Have a decent speech ready.
3. Secure the area so you dont get upstaged by a dude with a boom box.
4. Don't be a drip...... not hard, is it.
Absolute, ABSOLUTE genius who played "things can only get better"..... should have followed it with "I'm outta touch, im outta time " by Hall and Oates 😂😂😂
It’s Steve
And ‘why does it always rain on me’
Proud of what they've achieved? Like targeting the seriously ill and disabled you mean? Yeah, I guess that is the kind of thing the tories would be proud off.
It's not Rishi's fault he's a multi millionaire
Omg the soundtrack is perfect, just perfect.
A little too perfect don't you think?
It's high time the horrendous conservatives were out of power
Tell you what. Pay a better tax rate then 0.4 percent on your £120m earnings this year would go a long way to restoring trust...
Rather than say what they can do, he bashes the opposition
Same as the PM QA's recently. Never answered the oppositions questions and always deflected, quite often bringing up the Gaza matter on questions that were completely not related
Bit like Starmaa the best buddy of Savile.. I wont vote for either.
Typical toxic trait
Yep, turning an election date announcement into a party political broadcast. But nothing he does or says surprises me any more.
@@emmsue1053 You do know that claim by Boris was yet another one of his many, many, many lies, right?
This is perfect timing for that to blast out, well done those people, best TV I've seen In ages!! 👌😂🎵🎶
Whoever is on the decks deserves a knighthood.
Absolute legend 🇬🇧
Its Steve
Back to square one looks very appealing now after 14 years of Tory failure. If only it were that easy to undo the damage to our public services, the environment, our rights and freedoms, and our access to the EU.
July 5th snake on a plane...
No one is better off after 14years except a Tory.
Not true! The Tory Party's donors have made an absolute Barry Mint from syphoning tax-payers' money out of the public purse.
Made 653 mill profit earnings , most rich and spoilt pm
I heard he's richer than the king!!
Not quite: their combined net worth is £651M, as a result of a £120M increase in their wealth in the past year. It’s still absolutely disgusting, so there’s no need to inflate the numbers.
@@hkeenan1000Isn't Charlie a billionaire?
Things could only get wetter. 😂
Probably the hundredth person to post that. Still funny, though
The man is completely disillusioned; he has no idea how bad Britain has become, thanks to the Tories!
I am feeling soooo bad for this expensive suit 😂
It's a child's size so it's cheaper than a grown adults
I hate sunak too, but commenting on his height and stature, something he couldn't control. That isn't very productive is it? @@kieranowen8662
@@kieranowen8662 Playmobil prime minister 😂
@@Liverpool1nehe has regular human sized ears though.
Claimed against tax along with its replacement.
'The progress we have made'
What freaking planet is he on?
“Why does it always rain on me……is it because I lied when I opened my mouth” 😂😂😂
Is it because we lied in 2017?
Wasn't he 17 when he said he had working class friends?
Did nobody think to check the BBC forecast
Did he think being rained on would make him look tough / a man of the people? Either way, that's all you need to know.
Did they run out of brollies at 10 Downing street?
This was his Angie McDowell in 4 Weddings moment. "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed"
His retirement starts on the 5th.
Ummm. 'No plan', 'clear plan'...'bold action'...He's not competent enough to even prepare for..... rain!😢
Has to read notes shouldn’t have to do that if he was being truthful….
How can you trust a man who can’t trust his own umbrella.
"on the 5th of july either keir starmer or i will be prime minister" the electoral system sucks
Exactly. Where’s the options? Common plebs vote for us two so it appears like a democratic society . You CHOSE us 😊
@@RoyalBlood23 Only the people in the party leaders constituency will vote for the PM. The rest of us will vote for our local MP and then whoever wins the most seats forms a government and their party leader becomes Prime Minister. But you know it worked like that, right?
That turn around at the end of the speech tho.... like what, he was trying to make it epic or something, was weird.
🎉I noticed to. Bless him
😂😂😂😂 I hadn't looked at that 🤦🏽♀️ oh my days
The one playing the music is Steve Bray, who is better known as the Stop Brexit guy.
The bold action would be to get an umbrella!😅
The funny thing is some people actually believe what he is saying 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Not me. I’ve never believed a word that comes out of this man’s mouth
Post the original the music was way louder than the edit here.
Hopefully it is just Rain water and not someone on the roof of Number 10 doing naughty things
They can't even get the umbrella situation right. Joke of a political party
Why not wait for the rain to pass..? or do it the day after.? 🤣
The tories should be jailed. Monsters
What about Blair?
@@wellingsrob4he's even worse
@@GavinGas Who is? Blair?
@@wellingsrob4 Blair was a turncoat and took us in to an illegal war. The Tories have been far worse. Why would some who has 650m want to run the country? To reduce the ever widening gap between those with un-spendable wealth and those in poverty? The Stable economy that he is talking about protecting is subsidising Amazon and some of the biggest global companies in the world. They take money OUT of our economy. The Tax and NI we pay goes towards keeping their workers alive both with the NHS and "benefits" they need to claim to subsidise their wages. This is not socialist talk. This is crime prevention. We are being robbed.
@@wellingsrob4 Yeah. Great reform with the Lords, but dreadful for the war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Things can only get better" is hilarious and bitter sweet at the same time. The older you get, the more you realise that things rarely tend to get better in politics. Doesn't matter which side you're on. But I agree with the comments here that whoever got that song playing in the background deserves a comedy award.
They certainly can get better. They got markedly better after the war with the massive amount of money put into rebuilding (literally and figuratively) the country, in privatising things like the railways, the creation of the NHS (which is arguably the BEST single thing ANY government in all of human history has EVER done for its people). You'll see the pattern of Labour improving things, people getting bored, voting Tory then the Tories breaking everything or selling it off as was the case with Thatcher. Then Labour get in again and fix what they can... but people get bored again then vote Tory. It's a cycle we've seen multiple times.
Why is his jacket so soaked? No umbrella?
Couldn’t organise a p*ssup in a brewery. Literally that is the WORST organised speech possible. A classic 😅
No to tories no to Labour....its a mess
Just to say I think I preferred it at square 1… 😅
Things can only get better!! Thats the first thing they got right.
OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
We had the Lettuce now We have the wet LETTUCE
"Because... thhhhhhhingggzzzzzz, can only get bettaaaaa!" 🤞🏼🎵💃🏼🎶🤸🏼♀️🎵🤞🏼
Quality people that were ready to troll with that tune 😂
YES !!!!! Time to get rid.
Things are not going well in western countries. That's the least you can say.
What a drip
So incompetent, there’s a press room built for the British weather and it’s soundproof too😂. They couldn’t even organise a brolly.
4th of July.. independence day lol.
It’s about time too
Sunak, slimy when wet, or dry.
4th July will be day for victory
Wishy-Washy Rishi 😂
Steve Bray deserves a medal, rocking up with his PA system playing "things can only get better!" Genius, hilarious!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Labour is getting my vote 100%.
Me too pal😊
Are you mad? Why not vote Reform?
Tories out!
At last, now he can clock out and rush to the nearest pub, just another boring day in the office to please the boss
Down with the UniParty....
And yet we still have people arguing over red & blue.
The whole system needs to be torn down & we need to start again.
Total ban on donations & lobbying.
Total ban on ignoring obvious truths.
Things can only get better 😂
4th July? Independence day!
Things can only get better 🎉
Sing with me now ".... THINNNNNNGS CAN ONLY GET BETTERRRRRRRRRR.. CAN ONLY GET BETTERRRR😅
I feel sorry for that expensive suit 😂😂😂
Yeah it might shrink and fit him
He couldn’t even arrange a umbrella. This will go down in the same way Theresa May’s dancing did 🤣🤣
Why on earth did Sunak not make this announcement inside, given the weather.
Independence from the Tories day.
I feel sorry for that suit, being worn by rishi sunak
Yippie, the light at the end of the tunnel has finally been turned back on
He has messed everything up wasting tax payers money
vote this thief out NOW
Economy and education need to be the 2 main reasons for whoever gets in.
And the NHS.
@@Mickparrysstepdad Yes indeed. But which should be funded by the growth in the economy.
@@Daniel-ug5rx It could be funded now.
@@Mickparrysstepdad no because Boris the bafoon and sunak blasted it all on furlough when the economy back then was dead.
British general election held for July 4. I love how they chose that day of all days.
The background music don't match the main character
Yeah he's gotta go. Get out of here.
If there ever was a metaphor for Rishi's time in office, this image of him drenched on the steps of 10 Downing Street would be a perfect one.
“Things can only get better” 😂
things can only get better 😂💃🕺
He looks like someone peed on him from the roof of No10!
This sums up his time as PM. It's a chaotic poo show with him pi..... on the NHS doctors and nurses who put their lives on the line to save ours. He is as corrupt as they come, and he needs to be investigated for his family businesses getting contracts and him changing policy to suit his father in laws petrochemical business interests. It raining and that song blasting out is karma Sunak, make no mistake.
1:07 “On the 5th of July, Keir Starmer will be Prime Minister.” Fixed it for you, Rishi.
Independents Day from the Tories 😂😂😂
Things can only get better indeed! 🎉
He's going, going, gone... Off to sunny California to count the millions in their banks. At last!
He doesnt need an umbrella because drips dont get wet. they just get bigger.
Did he really say 'Leder Leader'?
American independence day?
It's when he gets to go back to California. I'm pretty sure at this point he really just wants to call it quits without stepping down and moving on up, moving on out, like Liz did.
Please DONATE to buy Rishi a raincoat.
Exactly. His missus only has £600million😢
I would have played its raining men as he walked off
so funny that this sounds like an advert for literally anyone other than the tories
The last 14 years have been that long advert. Anybody but Farage.
😂😂😂 the song things can only get better
Gold
That was a lame speech.. I didn’t absorb any of it.. too distracted reading comments… says it all.. the end
