UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak concedes defeat to Keir Starmer's opposition Labour party in the UK general election, saying, "I take responsibility for the loss". "The Labour Party has won this general election, and I've called Sir Kier Starmer to congratulate him on his victory," he says after retaining his parliamentary seat in the Richmond and Northallerton constituency, despite a punishing night for his Conservative Party.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says Nigel Farage's claim that the West provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine is "completely wrong and only plays into Putin's hands". The far-right leader of Britain's anti-immigration Reform UK party said in a BBC interview Friday that "we've provoked this war", while adding that "of course" it was Russian president Vladimir Putin's "fault". "This kind of appeasement is dangerous for Britain's security, the security of our allies that rely on us, and only emboldens Putin further," Sunak tells reporters while on the campaign trail ahead of July 4 general elections.
