Rishi Sunak, the former rising star of the Conservative Party, shocked the nation with his abrupt resignation as Tory leader and Prime Minister following a crushing defeat in the recent elections. Sunak, who had rapidly ascended from a junior minister to the highest office in just three years, now leaves his party in turmoil with its worst-ever outcome. His sudden downfall marks a stark contrast to his meteoric rise, earning him descriptions ranging from 'ineffectual' to 'snippy.'
