How Rishi is addressed at the start
At the start of the wiki it states that "Rishi Sunak is a British politician." However I believe that instead of having it a just "British" it should be "British Indian" as he is a British person of Indian descent. It clears up some confusion as many people address him as Indian because of his ethnicity. Azarctic (talk) 19:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- He is British Indian, but that doesn't need to be addressed in the first line. What's important is that he is British. We don't do "Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an African-American politician who served as...", for instance. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Lead change request
Hi! Please change the following sentence -
The Conservatives lost the 2024 general election in a landslide to the opposition Labour Party led by Keir Starmer, who is due to succeed Sunak as prime minister.
To this -
The Conservatives lost the 2024 general election in a landslide to the opposition Labour Party led by Keir Starmer. Sunak remains Prime Minister as Starmer is yet to be invited by King Charles III to form a government.
Starmer isn't "due to suceed"; that's not how a UK election works. It's not presidential in that way; Starmer may be presumed by everyone to succeed Sunak soon but nothing is official until the King invites him to the palace. Dhantegge (talk) 06:11, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

In the article it says "His father was born in pre-colonial Kenya in 1949". However, the Colony and Protectorate of Kenya, commonly known as British Kenya or British East Africa, was part of the British Empire in Africa from 1920 until 1963. Therefore, it is wrong to say "pre-colonial Kenya" - it should state "Britiskh Kenya", "Kenya Colony", or simply "Kenya" but directing to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_Colony Vvvieira (talk) 10:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Done, thanks for catching that! ZionniThePeruser (talk) 08:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
"First British Asian Prime Minister"
Lord Liverpool had some Indian ancestry. Worth a mention? InherentDogma (talk) 11:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
“Leader of the opposition” year
It should be 2024, not 2020. The monarch should be solely Charles, not Elizabeth. 2603:8081:3200:227:A886:F2AC:6266:9D09 (talk) 12:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

At the very end of the "2024 general election and resignation" section, change "consistency" to "consistuency" (a letter u is missing). fbrzcmtt (talk) 15:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

In the Public Image section it reads 'The New Statesman named him as the most powerful right-wing figure of 2023, ahead of Nigel Farage and Jeremy Hunt.' The source actually ranks Sunak second, ahead of Hunt but behind Farage. This should probably be amended. Averkf (talk) 16:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
