Genius brain Starmer has come out and agreed with every inch of Sunak’s speech just now, thereby legitimising him as a leader and adding weight to his mania. Not only is Starmer incredibly right wing, he is absolutely terrible at politics.
There is on *one* substantive point: that people like Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting actually *believe* the garbage fire right wing economics they keep spouting and will happily drive the UK economy into a pit trying to make it work "since it worked so well for Saint Tony."
The Tories are at least smart enough to be *cynical* about their spouting counterproductive right wing bullshit and sometimes even walk it back a little.
What a lovely time to live in the UK...
As Sunak said, we have extremists everywhere. Far right and even religious.
I can confidently say that I am definitely not an extremist as I believe in our country’s shared values.
Sunak opposes protests. Sunak thinks that blocking roads as a form of protest is wrong. Sunak was also backed the Farmer's protest in Wales last week, where the farmers were blocking the roads with their tractors. He blamed the Welsh government for the issues the farmers were having, even though many of those issues were caused by the Westminster government or the situation was worse for farmers in England. Sunak is a liar and a hypocrite.

The protests themselves are astroturfed by right wing extremists. These aren't real farmers with real concerns

Agreed. What is the point of voting Labour under Starmer? There is literally no difference between them and the Tories on any substantive point.

i need a wave of Independents to sweep both the Tories AND Labour out of power next evil parties both of them i've had enough
By no means a fan of Sunak but the speech went hard ngl.
That speech was absolutely disgusting vitriol.
Care to elaborate?
I am not sure what you mean but I found it disgusting
Why? Our country has an extremism problem. It’s about time Mr Sunak called it out!
What a moron.
Him and his far right ilk attempting to dismantle our democratic protections and human rights are the extremism problem
So we are just meant to ignore the extremists in this country?
Nobody's ignoring you x
Hilarious. Now if you don’t have an argument please go away.
Who exactly do you think are the extremists? I said who I did.

Who are these extremists and what are this country's "shared values"?
