It's weirdly refreshing to see Sunak and Starmer walking alongside each other like old friends.
Where have you been for the past few years because they've been doing it every king's speech.
It's the British way...civilised and calm.
2 sides of the same coin, both working for the WEF.
It’s all a game they play , one big laugh. Unfortunately the joke is on us.
No it’s not. They’re both on the same coin. Be prepared for more of the same only slightly worse.
Sunak looks a lot less stressed, lack of responsibility seems to suit him.
It also suits the country. 😂👌🏻👌🏻
Was going to say the same thing. So much more relaxed and happy.
@@digitalhen as are we.
As are we. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@akshat3422 You can't expect the new government to drop prices in a month?
@@akshat3422 hilarious.
At least you grasp sarcasm.
@@vibepenguin4459 yeah, he can and probably does.
That or it’s insanely effective trolling. 🤷♂️🤣
Very interesting. The leader of the government, the prime minister, and the leader of the opposition are both able to walk side-by-side in a very casual and friendly manner. I like the fact that there seems to be no animosity or hatred from one side of the isle towards the other, at least not from the UK's major parties.
This is the way. That is how it is supposed to be in a civilized society, in my opinion. Leaders and politicians should talk substance, not engage in emotional manipulation, misinformation games or hatred.
Bravo well said ✨
Not like the US where relations between top two candidates is toxic
Because national politics is just a distraction to make people think they have a choice. The Tories and Labour are hardly different.
As it was phrased on a youtube video I watched but can't remember who said it: the most remarkable thing about our transition of power is that it's completely unremarkable.
@@pbasista You do realise it’s all an act?
I think this is probably quite intentional, precisely to show that we don't have to carry on down the road of becoming like America.
Why this all looks so civil? Rishi looks so classy
Refreshing to see two leaders in opposition getting on and having a laugh. Seems rare in this day and age.
Had the great pleasure of visiting London a few months ago from the USA and got to tour the Houses of Parliment. It was really fascinating and our fabulous tour guide told us about Black Rod. I just love watching this ceremony now!
Healthy democracy
Funny that Starmer brought back Rishi's smoking ban and AI stuff to boost productivity, Renters reform bill and the football regulator bill as well! Interesting ahaha
@urdailygamr9229 Yeah. Right.
Nice to see 2 Tories still talking to each other @Sunak @starmer.
Hilarious
He's such a Tory. I could feel how Tory he was when he scraped the Rwanda plan
@@buolindo8795 Scraped is right. The Tories sent one paid volunteer. Starmer rightly scrapped it because he's a lawyer and knows it's wasted money trying to do such a thing. Early days yet give Starmers new conservatives time before we see their true colours.
Unlike what the average guardian reader thinks, adults are able to have different political opinions, but not necessarily hate each other
I'd wager the average Guardian reader is well aware of that
These two have the same political opinions wdym
@@unclekarl5219 I’m sure that to the kind of person who thinks Corbyn should’ve been PM they do
Stammer and sunak walking together and laughing,cant see that in an african country
Because you don't have a king
You could see it on the telly or on your phone in any African country
@@MrDoom885 You have several kings in African countries....an ignorant left winger no doubt.
The UK is once again looking like the picture of civility compared to the US.
The wage bill for these wallies
Starmer, khan. Blair and sunak the four Horsemen of Britain's apocalypse
I agree all cut from the same cloth I'm afraid.
Really it's been one week and Starner hate begins lol
Don't forget about Cameron
😂😂😂😂😂
Two political opponents were talking so fun and relaxing. XD
Welcome to the house of frauds
@@stevenmoses5807 well said. shame Guy Fawkes isn’t with us still.
LOL!
@@Jpex369 I've been saying that for weeks
As without a hypocrite smile criminals can't make politics?
Why didn't Churchill smile?
Thus those British politicians who smile unlike Churchill don't protect the British, right the contrary?
I note that Starmer is also a shortarse, I assume we will see as many jokes about his height as Sunak.
Rishi is thin and short , starmer's a little starvart
Look back on previous parliament openings when Sunak was still PM and Starmer was Leader of Opp. They were as chatty as displayed in this video.
Professionalism.
We need a new speaker. Hoyle allowed breaking if rules by tories and has proved incapable of doing his job.
Both tories
Both labour 😂
They all seem ONE! We've been fooled and fleeced for decades!
You've fooled yourself...this is how a parliamentary democracy is supposed to work.
@@angloirishcad They start off in division all opposed at one another, then they all form into one big family and live happily ever after (who would have thought?!)
@@LIVERNIL723 I suppose you'd rather the American way? Where they can barely sit in the same room? This is Britain...its civilised, the first democracy...embrace it.
@@angloirishcad Not whilst we have the current government in power, I will not embrace it!
@@LIVERNIL723 The whole point is that the democracy continues peacefully regardless of who is in power.
You'll never get everything you want, but you do get to play your part and affect change as Starmer's speech demonstrated yesterday (Sunak would never have declared those policies)
Holy moly the king still have a place in british democracy ?? Anybody explain
Idk much, but from my knowledge the King doesn't have power. But THEORETICALLY he still have power to veto bills but he nor his mother have done it.
And it just culture too. And if you think it's expensive to fund the royal family, just remember it only cost 1.27£ per taxpayer 😅
The beauty of tradition.
The UK is a constitutional monarchy. One of the king's jobs is to open parliament and as part of this he reads a speech written for him by the government setting out their legislative agenda for the parliamentary session.
@WafiLeCool That's the yearly grants, not the overall cost.
Labour adopting the Tory mantra "Working People". Haven't heard a word about improving benefits for those living in poverty due to chronic illness or disablement. I sene that thesr groups are an embarrassment to Labour. Thank goodness the real bold Atlee Labour Government wasn't so timid in creating a Welfare State and National Health Service and all in the midst of a devastated infrastructure and economy. At that time one key ingredient was present: The Political Will.
Yes he stated it but not in this speech he is keeping Sunak rules in power he is putting people on benefits in work if you do not find work in 1 year all benefits stop .Disabled will be assessed and be put in work unless they are severely Disabled and pass assessment pensioners get 2.5 % rise or inflation rise which is the higher .child benefit capped a 2 children Sunak and Starmer no difference 😂😂😂😂
The Beveridge Report that led to the creation of the NHS was commissioned by the conservatives. The NHS was always going to happen.
A walk of shame for sure
😂😂😂
Don t see the economy exploding
Cripes, it's only been a few days.
Rayner changed her tune when she thrown an insult at the Tories... Two faced at its finest.
Their friendship wont last long.
Two cheeks of the same backside!
😂
Spot on 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly 🤣🤣
Looking towards reform….
😊
Democracy
Why isn't there a new Tory leader after all this time?
Sunak already stepped down. They're just waiting 'till fall to actually do it
It's a process and all the candidates are nutters which makes it a difficult decision, but as it will determine the direction of the Tory Party, which no one in it can agree on, it's a big risk to rush it.
"All this time" being a couple of weeks? It wouldn't be sensible for any party to so quickly run an entire leadership campaign and election and pick its next leader who will be expected to fight Labour in an election in four or five years' time.
Actors
Strong Labour Government.
They're not Labour but more red conservative... No difference and all this argument and debate was all a silly act. They both serve the same people.
@@Themistocles30facts
@@lewisofthehoood Starmer obeys the new world order.
This is only possible in the UK🇬🇧..in India🇮🇳 this is next to impossible to see PM Narendra Modi and LoP Rahul Gandhi gossiping together😅😂
Lol immigrants country uk😂😂
Sunak should get out of there
Why because he cancelled Visas of your friends .
What a load of outdated nonsense .
The differences between the two are invisible. Two imperialists devoted to the financial interests of the corporate state.
That's not the way opposition behave 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Toxic yaoi
People are saying this is respectable. I disagree. There are differences that are reconcilable and differences that aren't. I could not think Rishi Sunak was a vile man who has contempt for the poor, and then smile and be all friendly with him.
You can be cordial and professional without looking like best buds with someone.
Fascists in arms together
Oh the retirement home country
Until thousands of houses built to house immigrants out of 5 star hotel 😂😂😂
When a man expects to be constantly addressed by his title, you can be sure his main agenda is his own sense of self importance, his title is (Sir) his name is (Keir) if you spoke of a postman whose name was Pat, you wouldn't call him Postman Pat in reality would you? and I don't think Pat ever insisted on being called by his title.
But when I'm faced by a man who has no shame in being constantly address by his title, I personally wouldn't trust such a man, I believe he would consider his title more important than my interests!
I don't think he's had any input on whether people use his title when referring to him has he?
What makes you think Starmer goes around insisting people call him sir? This hasn't been my impression. At his first press conference after taking office he was asked how he felt now civil servants were addressing him as Prime Minister and he said he was happy to just be called Keir.
Starmer has not insisted that he be called Sir; but even though he did, it’s his title and not yours?
UK IS FINISHED AN ALL THEY DO IS LAUGH THATS WHAT YOU GET UNTIL WE HAVE A PRESIDENT AND REPUBLIC ITS GOING ALWAYS ALWAYS BE THE SAME . THATS FOR SURE
