Following the UK Elections 2024, the Labour Party witnessed a landslide victory and formed the ruling party, ousting the Conservatives after a 14-year rule.

However, for new PM Keir Starmer "old habits die hard". In a slip up at the House of Commons, Starmer mistakenly referred to interim Conservative leader Rishi Sunak as the "prime minister".

Following the mistake, Starmer went on to joke that "old habits die hard" and continued on with his address. However, his brief slip up resulted in laughter echoing across the UK House of Commons.

The camera also panned to Rishi Sunak and the Indian-origin MP was spotted laughing out loud.
