The UK’s New Conservative PM Rishi Sunak Is Also A Short King
"Tried to warn you lot that short king spring would lead to tiny unelected billionaire autumn."
The United Kingdom’s new prime minister Rishi Sunak is a lot of things. Billionaire, self-confessed Coca-Cola addict, and the first person of Asian heritage to lead the country.
He is also, perhaps secretly, a short king.
According to British GQ, Sunak’s height has been confirmed to be about 5’6″, which sees the new PM stature match other certified short kings like Spiderman actor Tom Holland and Jonah Hill.
However, unlike Holland and Hill, it seems that Sunak is not as proud of the title as other members of his extended royal family, with GQ reporting Sunak allegedly deployed a “small black step” on the pedestal outside No. 10 Downing Street where he announced his selection as prime minister.
A brief Googling suggests Rishi Sunak, Emmanuel Macron, Olof Scholz, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky are all 5’7, it’s an unprecedented consolidation of European power in the hands of short kings

However, Sunak’s ascension to the highest office in the country has seemingly stirred up discontent among the nation’s fellow short kings, who have declared that the golden age is at an end.

As a man of 5ft7 or thereabouts, please let me state for the record that my short kings and I do not recognise Rishi Sunak. Not one of us.

Short or tall, I reckon voters in England would just like to see the end of the crippling leadership failures that have crippled the country following Britain’s exit from the EU.
