Rishi Sunak said on Friday he would resign as prime minister and Conservative Party leader after losing heavily to Keir Starmer's Labour Party, leaving with an apology, a tribute to Britain, and a call to protect "kindness, decency and tolerance".
His defeat ends 14 years of Conservative government - a period marked by division, political instability and, more recently, economic pain. He hands control of the world's sixth largest economy to centre-left Labour Party leader Keir Starmer.
