Rishi Sunak admits to 'difficult days' after launching general election campaign

The prime minister has been in Belfast, where he spoke about needing to agree with Labour on key legislation before parliament is dissolved.
His flagship anti-smoking bill hasn't made the cut, with compensation for sub-postmasters and victims of the infected blood scandal taking priority.
Sky's Deputy Political Editor Sam Coates has been on the trail and sent this report.

[@Boxingchampion851]

He is too rich to care

[@user-cf3cr8ki7e]

Everyday some product prices has gone up😂😂😂😂

[@drg598]

Inflation has reduced btw

[@user-cf3cr8ki7e]

@@drg598Well in a sense,if we look Inflation Holisticly , it hasn't,it may have been reduced on certain products, But it has increased on most products What is a price of a Petrol?

[@pauldean8638]

He’s smoking crack if he thinks he’s getting back in , I predict he will bring the tories biggest defeat in there history.

[@palestinev3722]

Hopefully ZERO seats

[@terryrowe289]

All his work colleagues stepping down so they don't get embarrassed at the next election and with the added bonus of not having to cancel their holidays in the process 🙄

[@user-cf3cr8ki7e]

He is searching for a corner

[@Billywoo12]

"Hi, I'm Rishi" - cringe.

[@ThePresidentOfAustralia]

😅👍 💯

[@AnthonyD-yy2in]

Difficult days? he can buy his way out of anything... 🤣🤣😂

[@keef6586]

“Hi I’m Rishi” 😂

[@Boxingchampion851]

“The cow poopi eater”

[@NickRothman1980]

TITANIC??? Are his aides taking the piss, or what? 😂😂😂

[@user-nh5re9xr7l]

The whole tory party are on crack 😂 if they are thinking they will win 😂

[@user-cf3cr8ki7e]

He is busy preparing his losing speech 😂😂😂😂

[@iaf010]

His "loosing speech" is a two finger salute to his "colleagues" in the Brexit/Boris-brigade who are all out on their ears!

[@dianeglanville]

Let's hope so

[@palestinev3722]

Busy decorating his California home. With Natanyahu and Zelinsky

[@aynhiayraadr6599]

Energy was highest under them. 😂😂😂😂

[@dutchymaze6315]

He sure should face difficulties, he was never elected but a selection from his party, he is on the party's agenda not for the people

[@fakename45]

Smoking ban... what?

[@user-jv3gf3em5b]

This will be the biggest mistake of a prime minister who backstabbed his colleagues 😅

[@iaf010]

PM returned the favor to colleagues who have routinely backstabbed and undermined him and his Govt with their Brexit/Boris/Immigration antics. All the pointless culture war nonsense, all the whining about the PMs tax hikes and attempts to return to normalcy after decades of mad policies and outrageous demands. This was the PMs smirking revenge - he's going to win Richmond, they will not. He's going to get a lifelong pension, they will Never recover. He's probably get a peerage, they will be hard pressed to do so. All their "loyalty" will be returned to them.

[@mtd4302]

Should he step down now and campaign as aRishi Sunak and not as Prime Minister which is not fair because he can claim for lot of achievements that were paid for with taxpayers money and managed by thousands of government employees and civil servants at his disposal

[@jrobs1133]

Socially awkward people shouldn't lead countries.

[@zainthe_c00lkid29]

"Hi, Im Rishi!" More like "Hi im the clown 🤡"

[@darrenridley6144]

Really?

[@richardmarsden5610]

Amount of Tory MP's standing down shows the result is already baked in and the UK establishment has chosen whom is governing a country that is in practice a managed democracy.

[@richardmarsden5610]

Sunak happy knowing his summer holidays will be highly likely, almost certainly be spent within another country, (USA) upon a beach somewhere, probably the western seaboard and close to California, where his families wealth talks.

[@soton5teve]

Weeks*

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

Still we finish difficult times❤❤🎉🎉waiting
