Bear Grylls weighs in on UK election result after Labour's landslide win: 'Most people are scared of change'


Bear Grylls is in Australia on his Never Give Up Tour.

Flanked by clearly emotional wife Akshata Murty, the outgoing Prime Minister delivered his parting statement as he prepared to head for Buckingham Palace to formally tender his resignation to the King and bring an end to 14 years of Conservative government. The weather held off - in contrast to when he called the election back in May - as he said he was 'sorry' and had 'heard the anger' of the country and the 'clear message' delivered via the ballot box.
