This is the moment the newly crowned Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appeared to suddenly levitate as he celebrated winning the race to No10. Mr Sunak, 42, became Leader of the Conservative Party today after Boris Johnson's shock withdrawal last night was followed up by his sole rival Penny Mordaunt pulling out earlier after she failed to make the threshold of 100 nominations. But among the celebrations, the MP for Richmond (Yorkshire) was filmed suddenly appearing to gain an inch or two as he waved to his fellow Tory colleagues at the Conservative Party HQ after becoming Britain's first non-white and Hindu PM on a day which coincided with Diwali. Mr Sunak, who is reportedly 5ft 6in, left Twitter users baffled as he appeared to grow while the camera was focusing in on him in the crowd.
