This reminds me of the impromptu speech he gave after galloway won his seat over a tory who opted to go on holiday rather than campaign where he tried to once again rally the bigots behind the blue tories rather than starmers reds. He's probably correct that times will be worse under starmer given his abuse of power within labour, coercion of the speaker to subvert the process of parliament and unwavering support for a genocidal regime. Tries to take shots at the SNP but refuses to admit that his government has been the best argument for freedom from westminster rule not just to the scots but welsh and irish as well. Cites the energy crisis but it was his party that was blindly focussed on fracking, is still reliant on imported electricity and held off on putting caps on bills to make sure the payment to households matched the increase imposed by suppliers. Ignores the privatised water companies who hold the english and welsh hostage by their monopoly. Takes about the wonders of global trade but his government made it harder for the UK to trade with its biggest partner by burning as many EU related bridges as possible.

@Britain4775 25 күн бұрын

Proudest achievement of the Sunak: 1. Absolute poverty: UK sees biggest rise for 30 years. The figure jumped to 12 million in 2022-2023, a rise of 600,000. 2. Britain’s record legal migration numbers. 3. We look at current government unfunded state pension and public pension liabilities and call it a ponzi scheme as it is unfunded and like to fall apart or more likely the amount promised may not be delivered. The UK government currently has almost £5 trillion worth of pension liabilities which it will have to pay in the future (£1.2 trillion for public service pensions and £3.84 trillion in respect of the state pension). Most of these are unfunded, meaning that they are largely paid out of annual tax revenues and the bill for them is being passed on to future generations because today’s government is not putting money aside to cover them.
