As Galloway himself says, he despises the PM and he says millions and millions of us do too, the idiot. Sadly I dont think Galloway needs any sort on invite, or open door, from the Tory party (or Labour who are his real target) to speak up. I am not defending ths tories, but I am very nervous about the direction of political travel, and that goes much deeper than 14 years of tory failure in my opinion.
Sunak. ‘He is a threat to democracy’ after Galloway was elected democratically and Sunak wasn’t. Galloway is a horrible opportunist exploiting division to gain power.. Sunak is a horrible opportunist exploiting division to gain power. Total hypocrisy.
Galloway being elected should be a massive wake up call for everyone. Starmer and Sunak both seem to see this. All Sunak is doing is pointing out the reality of what is a worrying time for the nature of politics and the political process in this country. It isnt party political. If he was saying nothing about what happened with Hoyle or MP threats or Galloway I would be more worries. Put personal feelings, or political alliances to one side about Sunak for one minute and ask yourself if the way politics ia being derailed in this country is ok? For me it isnt and I applaud the PM for calling it out, however he came to power, and lets be honest the position of Prime Minister isnt a democratically elected one in the way an MP is.
I’d say him and his friends are the problem with democracy. It’s total hypocrisy. Political donors, peerages for donors, vip lanes, Dominic Cummings, influencing boundary changes, dominating the media. Democracy has been undermined by wealth and the power of the corporation. Political marketing ahead of a buy in to the the concept of fairness. Rishi Sunak cares for power in order to retain the power of his wealth. I 100% disrespect his view. There is fault in all but the Greens as far as I can see but I trust Galloway more than Sunak and his city mates with their wealth fascism, and that’s Galloway who did one political address for each cultural group that said different things.
Ok mate. I cannot understand the concept of trusting Galloway more than Sunak at all. But each to their own.
I mentioned that yesterday, Draig and Sunderpitt missing in action from what I've seen ... ... all good posters imo.

I can't wait to see how Hunt talks up the 'progress' we're making. 'The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, was a Remainer and fully aware of the self-harm, and indeed absurdity, of Brexit. With the Office for Budget Responsibility estimating a hit to the economy of 4% of GDP, Goldman Sachs putting it at 5%, and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research calculating up to 6%, Hunt knows that anything up to £40bn (the Centre for European Reform estimate) may have been knocked off the “headroom” he has for budgetary concessions. The tax-cutting Brexiters have been hoist by their own petard.'
Donates 100k of his own money to try and keep his seat. There must be some financial benefit in him having a seat. Well I never. In charge of policy for retention of wealth?
Thought this might be worth sharing in light of Sunak’s ‘tackling extremism’ speech. The governments own definition of extremism … Vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. Democracy - messing with voter ID, messing boundaries Rule of Law- refusing to accept human rights, not tackling Israel’s breach of code Individual liberty - limiting the right to protest Mutual respect and tolerance - migrant rights, trans rights By their own rules at best they are on the boundary, probably extremists themselves
Perhaps he meant to say, 'I promise to stop the boasts' 5th March 2024 'More than 400 Channel migrants reached the UK on Monday in a record for the year as the total number crossing under Rishi Sunak’s premiership hit 40,000.'
Good budget overall? I think so. Struck a good balance. Took on some labour ideas early, and brought forward some helpful initiatives. More money back in my pocket so welcome. Reading some media outlets you would think he is the Grinch. Others you would think he Santa. Martin Lewis having to defend himself on twitter for pointing to helpful measures from those desperate to believe it is all bad. Made me chuckle did Martin by reminding them he is not party political. In other news he did stretch the reality of some forecasts, but hey, his opposition play the game the other way. It isnt the scorched earth approach I had feared at least and Labour will have room to manouvre.
