George Galloway accuses Sunak of ‘lie’ after divisive election claims
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2024
- George Galloway hit back at Rishi Sunak's claims that the Rochdale by-election had "one of the most divisive campaigns that we've seen in recent times.”
The prime minister was asked if Mr Galloway's win would inflame tensions, saying: "It was very concerning to see the reports of intimidation through the by-election."
In response, Mr Galloway said: "It's just a lie... and moreover, it's a lie for a patently transparent purpose - to deflect attention from the fact that for the first time ever in British political history, the big two parties of the state were both comprehensively beaten."

Just a reminder that Sunak is unelected by the people.
Facts!!!!
elected by 1922. that's all we need to know thank you.
It's time for change, things just aren't working. I think most people can see that. There is an economist talking about change. He talks about inequality increasing in a very down to earth way. I don't think the media will like him. The site is called Gary's economics. Polatics and economics go hand in hand so both would be needed for real change in our society to be better than this.
Sunak's majority at the election was 27,000, considerably larger than Galloway's
@@tomtucker83 Sunak ran in a seat that was safe for the tories since 1910 and he lost voters from their previous tory MP. The conservatives could have put a Chimpanzee in Richmond and still got a larger majority than anyone could achieve in Rochdale.
How can you take an unelected Prime minister seriously !!
Gordon brown prime minister for labour after tony Blair was unelected ...and he signed of the mastricht treaty for the uk expanding the EU rules
@@ebillyboi
Forgetting that Gordon brown stopped the west completely collapsing during the financial crisis born from thatcher policies and corrupt bankers ?
@@ebillyboiIt was John Major who signed the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, Tony Blair was elected to office three times and Gordon Brown was an unelected prime minister.
sunak is not leader material, he is a second string PM, the tories reverted to sunak because their masters, the markets, didn't like Truss.
It doesn't help having Keir Starmer as the Labour leader.
Atleast this guy is people elected unlike Sunak who is unelected.
Galloway’s victory has caused an earthquake in British politics
Earthquake magnitude : 9.9 the establishment and all politician's left and right run for cover
This George Galloway l hope he wins. Reason is l know George Galloway will fix things up on our 🇬🇧 system Democrat's and Economic system Rather than Rishi Sunak he would send his money back to India 🇮🇳 or Israel to create war and divide people up into his back pocket. I see Sunak doesn't have his Briefcase anymore coz he's broke now as he's called his Family over from India over to the U.K l'm serious
@kevinwellwrought2024 please have some respect for George Galloway coz that man is a living Legend he speaks the truth and thats what l like about people like George Galloway any next protest me and my Indian & English Friends will be there at the next protest coz it does NOT Matter if your Black or White. We need a good prime minister and that is you GEORGE GALLOWAY all the way up man!!!
He wants to watch his back after what happened to Corbyn!
Not saying they are the same but both think differently and are for the majority! which is a pain to the self serving elite establishments!

It's the second one!
I had to pinch myself I thought I was in India
It’s mind-boggling to hear that you all feel like lost souls. Particularly when Galloway and the Labour Party has shown who owns Britain.
Agree....same thing here...
Truth is not divisive, as the UK media can never understand!!
The truth is when democracy speaks through peoples votes. An unelected pm is just putting forward his agenda controlled by foreign lobbies..
It is when you condemn lslam
@@alvinasun8055 tell me where are Christians killing themselves or people of other religions not in Yemen or Syria or lran and whose killing Christians in Nigeria so you know what you can do with lslam

Mmm lot of Christians killing each other in East Europe...as we speak..
@@robertgrimshaw9036You are clearly entirely ignorant of the history of your Christianity. Best keep quiet and avoid due ridicule.
After he won the seat ,the establishment went into the full panic mode.
So what happens he comes out to deflect what’s happening ..this is spells desperation at all levels of the establishment.
The same people who smeared Corbyn are nervous
Yes, "Little Rishis blubbering act outside No. 10 was a stirring sight for EVERYONE other than the establishment and its slaves.
He blasted and logically obliterated the sky biased journalist in front of his voters wow 😂....hilarious innit
What about his sexual beliefs? He probably thinks touching boys is ok the way he goes on
Rishi is The Rat. Sooner everyone knows is better
Roland the rat!
more snakey than rat from what i've seen but could be a hybrid. all humans can however be classed as having animal forms. social darwinism started like that. then the kigali news media started with 'cockroaches' back in 92-93. so from holocaust to genocide be careful how you start applying animals to humans. they may not be the tools you took them for.
He even has a puppet brother Roland 😂its his twin ..
Honestly. Who would like PM like him.
Fishy Rishy
Congratulations George 👏
Canadian here. Watching (bemused) as the British media twists itself into knots to discredit Galloway's victory. Hopefully he will stay true to his word, unlike so many politicians on this side of the pond.
He has no words for the betterment of everyday life for the people of Britain. He's goes into Muslim areas, stirs it up, and wins a vote. He doesn't have any policies related to the overall running of the country but if you want a ceasefire in Gaza GGs your man. No doubt within the week GG will have got his ceasefire given the power of the man...lol. 99% of the country/world wants peace between Israel/Palastine. Unfortunately, its hard to attain when guys with guns and self interest is involved. He's won a few elections like this and again he will disappear without achieving anything except division and discourse. The guy hates Jews.
Oh, how true! Mulroney promised no Free Trade with the USA, then not only pivoted 180 and sold us down the river, but sold the river too. The feckless Trudeau 2.0 promised us proportional representation but then quickly reneged as soon as safely elected.
Your prime minister is not such a bad person. He is just scared he would lose his job if he speaks above his breath against Isreal.
@@elitezafficobra2288What! He is evil.
@@didi9017
I agree he is evil by complete cowardice. He is just scared.
Sunak failed again …..
Well done george little rishis speech was truly something to behold. Total and utter fear eminating from his tiny gob. Go get em george.
Anyone know what the translation of Hindu Kush means?

Galloway : elected democratically
Sunak : unelected "democratically" 😅
both are MPs elected to their respective constituencies so as Members of Parliament they have equal status.
@@gavinmc5285No, Sunak is not elected as a Prime minister
@@gavinmc5285 If he wants to become a ligitimate Prime minister , he should call the elections now but he won't, third world politics
@@gavinmc5285little Rishi isn't causing havoc as MP, he's doing it as PM
Sunak won his seat fairly but not the con party leadership election which Truss won. For that reason he doesn't deserve any more time in number 10.
The whole country should lean from this and not vote for the main parties at the next election.
We've learnt, over many many years, that GG is only in it for himself. He has no policies regarding UK politics or for the overall betterment of this country. Hence, he'll be gone at the next election.
@@rede5426this argument is getting old.
We'd agree with you if not for the fact that the 2 main parties have unwavering allegiance to a foreign country and complicit in their crimes
Change UK politics for good by simply voting for anyone who isnt red or blue.
No point voting Reform tho, it's still the same bent Tories.
blue red exit
@@thelleftaremad7556 I don't know about deep red he's the only one with a brain and a backbone...
…. Or funded by external lobby groups which undermines democracy of our voters
Vote Reform
13,000 postal votes - 12,000 of them for Mr Galloway. Well done, George!
Must have cost him a fortune in stamps...
The actual figure is 14k Rochdale postal votes at the last election and almost 28k at this Rochdale election. That speaks volumes about the fairness and validity of this by election
@@davidwicks7543Boo hoo!
@@davidwicks7543And your point is.
@@davidwicks7543well are postal votes allowed..or not...WE dont make the rules THEY do...they can hardly complain, if they dont like the result. If they dont like postal votes then change the rules and stop them or shut up. Simple.
George, I'm very very happy for you, we will support you all the time.
PM is talking rubbish.
Ask the other constituents he represented what he did for them Fu** All those people should be ashamed of themselves it was all about Gaza not a word about those underage girls raped by mulim gangs
Salaam.

Which GG policies regarding, for example, cost of living, housing, hospitals, water etc. are you supporting?
@@rede5426 His manifesto is published on line. Try using google, get off of Starmer's lap for a couple of minutes.
Rishis panic speech last night😂
We could hear how afraid he is that democracy may counter his fascist plans and agenda set up by foreign.lobbyists.
When exposing a crime is treated like a crime you are being ruled by criminals"
Exactly the case with Julian Assange 💔
Hoping Britons discard bullies....the sooner the better 😢
@@pranititiwari6525 as long as the bullies are in power, it's not in their interest to change anything. That's why they label large protests as terrorist sympathisers and that's why sunak wants to impose more restrictions on what can be said and what can be worn at protests because he knows it's the one thing that has the potential to accrue more power than he has
Similarly to leaving the EU, the people have spoken and the snobs dont like it.
The DEEP STATE does not appreciate genuine democracy.😜
The snobs like Jacob Rees Mogg and Lord Rothermere owner of the Daily Mail? I think you'll find they supported Brexit. They wanted the people to speak in their favour. Brexit was the snobs getting the people to do the snobs' bidding. They managed it quite well.
There were genuine left wing Brexit supporters like Dennis Skinner, but the people inexplicably voted him out to put a Tory in. I can't work that out either.
GG was elected democratically. It’s a fact. He will make little Sunak and kid starmer look ridiculous every Wednesday😅 a joy to watch but more important more independent candidates will emerge and hopefully people will wake up and boycott both parties…
Ah, how sweet it will be to hear the crackling of feet burning in the flames at Westminster in the coming months as Sunak, Starmer and their minions get their outrageous lies to the public chucked back in their faces by Mr Galloway.
Congratulations, George.
He was wrong to call out Galloway. Galloway pretty convincingly won an MP election, which is all Sunak himself has managed to do. And Galloway didn't need the backing of a major party in a seat that has been safe since 1910 in order to do it. If Rishi wants to continue to talk about democracy, he really needs to call and win a general election.
To talk about democracy, he also needs to call the General election with proportional representation, not first past the post. The only reason why first past the post is actually a legitimate win for George is because he manged to beat them at their own game.
If Sunak wants to talk about democracy, he first needs to sit down and learn what the concept actually means.
Galloway needed the backing of the whole Muslim community. Just look at the people surrounding him.
@@lynholness5177 Galloway addressed the concens of a certain part of the community, but which mirror his own concerns and those of many from other communities in Rochdale, the UK and beyond. To what extent could Rochdale have been considered a safe seat for Galloway and his party prior to the election?
It’s possible he can still win in a landslide.
Wish Galloway for once said Rishi Sunak was not the result of a general election
he said it in the Sky news interview
Indeed.
He did say that.
In a way, it gives me hope that we'll see a trend of independents winning and we can finally see an end to the whole lesser of two evils vote, or the , you're just throwing your vote away if you don't for the establishment, people are a lot more nuanced than two sides of what is now the same coin.
Congrats. UK don't like the truth unless it favours them. He makes the most sense
In what way is Galloway going to enrich the lives of people in Rochdale,please tell us @Tan#710.
Don't know what you mean "UK don't like the truth". The main political parties and most of the media don't but they don't speak for the UK public, they're in they're own bubble. This was also shown in the Brexit vote.
@@nanookmoosehow so? Old racists got lied to by the establishment in the Brexit vote, just look at the lead kipper, privately educated millionaire banker. You're deluded if you think that isn't the establishment.

Keep it up George, we the people are with you. Your a man of the people, unlike Sunak and Stamer who are In the pockets of lobbyists, corporations and foreign governments.

Congratulations George.
hope you can clear up the scandals in rochdale.
I agree with wonderful George.
Sinister sunak playing the dirty race and religion card
wake up call - badly needed for the career politicians in Westminster who do noting but talk and talk, and talk, and talk - useless - all of em - not a fan of Galloway but well done to him, he does have great oratory skills mind.
The career politicians in Westminster are guilty of a great deal more than relatively innocent "uselessness" and "incompetence", and I trust that Mr Galloway will soon hold them publicly to account.
Yes and they same people call us the far right.Bloody cheek I am a sovereign being of this land and I am saying .Westminster should get rid of all the labels and tags the lefties made up phobias and far right should be banned as misinformation.ASAP.
The two party con game in this country has got to end.
Sunak can't accept a democratic defeat.
Well said..He's never been elected and he will never be. He can only rule through orders received by the fascist foreign.lobbyists
Neutrality at least not complicity with the US in the serious conflicts abroad would save both major parties in the UK from such a humiliation
It's too late - the major parties have a long history of accepting this humiliation with relish. It's time for a new set of politicians looking out for the interests of the people of the UK - and beyond - who refuse to meekly support indefensible US imperalist policies while filling their boots with with the wages of their treachery.
Could the election of Mr Galloway as an MP be a wake up call to the main political parties, that their long run of 'governing' the UK might soon be ending?
He causes the same panic amongst the wealthy, comfortable, right-wing, public school establishment as Jeremy Corbyn.
He hugs terrorists. He's an awful human.
He hugs terrorists. He's an awful human.
He hugs terrorists. He's an awful human.

But as he says, unlike Jeremy C, he doesn't turn the other cheek!

What Sunak did last night just shows how terrified they are. Really humiliating for him/them
the cake has been "divided" from the Sunak🤓
Sunak said he was going to stop the boats .
He is busy boosting his wife's business.
He didn't manage to stop SS Galloway from steaming staight over the top of him and Starmer in their own little dinghies.
I freaking love this dude. F Billionaires and the ruling class 🤘
Nice to see abit of change and not just the status quo. Politics needs change like this. The Tories and Labour both look incompetent right now, and we need alternatives (excluding nigel farage's party LOL).
blatant lies from starmer , we never had a candidate in the rchdl vote , so how come his name and amount of votes collected were read out live on youtube video
That traitor can't lie straight in bed for the fin sticking out his back & even it has a israeli flag on it......
Great to see Starmer blatantly lying and being called out immediately by the entire country, with Sunak doing the exact same thing. Panic aboard as the truth begins to "sink" in after the establishment Titanic crashes full speed ahead into Iceberg Galloway. Ah Sunak and Starmer get that "sinkin" feeling - delicious!
Sunak 🤮🤮🤮
Congratulations! 🎉
like taking candy from a baby well done gg
what? sunak? the bastion of honesty? /s
“They don’t like democracy when it comes out wrong for them”
Lol.
What’s wrong with divisiveness? Isn’t there a great political quote, “Stand thou on that side, for on this am I? “Don’t we separate the true from the false, The straight from the crooked, The nourishing from the unwholesome? Don’t MPs divide in the house when they wish to signal their assent or dissent from a proposed measure?
I hope Australia is watching. We need our own George Galloway.

Well done George

He's a traitor
Like Nigel Farage who he urged to back in 2019.
God bless you George Galloway and your family Aameen 🤲❤️💙
Anyone spouting hatred should not be allowed to stand for parliament or council elections.
Sunak is ruled out straight away then
So you want the entire political class in the UK out? That's exactly what you just called for. Exactly.
well I guess that's the entire parliament apart from galloway being removed then!
As I recall Rishi Sunak has widespread support of British people counts as exactly 0 (zero) votes in elections, by the way same as king Karl has and same as the upper house of parliament has.
Democracy in action.
I like George Galloway he,s a very intelligent bloke and i love his views about the snp/independence its a shame the vote in the Rochdale slum was based on religion not politics.
Genocide is not a religion
Salute mr Galloway
UK never voted for Sunak as PM. So much about his democracy.
George Galloway going back into the house of commons will be like a fox going down a rabbit hole. PMs question time will be like 05th November.
I despise the Prime minister
With a passion.
If Rishi Sunak loves democracy so much, why is he trying to delay an General Election as much as possible?
... as well as seeking to crush dissent from his party's position and inviting the police to take a more heavy-handed approach towards those exercising their democratic right to protest against what they see as collaboration in a genocide.
If this election was won by divisive means as claimed then George was only applying the old British policy of Divide and Rule. The British nation sees no dispute at all.
Congratulations, MP Galloway. You've the greatest ever. We love ❤ you here in USA. Moats God bless you🙏
We so needed a win.
I despise the Prime minister. 😊
Thank you!

Wind your neck in George, just for one moment 🤦♂️
It IS possible to get the two main parties out.
Well done Mr Galloway 👏
This situation is quite ironic. A person of color, chosen by the oligarchy in a predominantly white nation, is now critiquing a white individual who was democratically elected within the same country, particularly concerning matters of race, politics, and democracy. It truly highlights the uniqueness of Western societies.
😂😂😂 Right.
One up for you George and much love.
I remember when Gordon Brown was leader of the government and every Tory MP and TV political presenter screaming about him being unelected. Very different reaction to Sunak being unelected.
❤
Rishi Sunak lying!?! Heaven forbid
People has spoken !
We need more independent candidates like David Tully
It's Mr snake.
The reaction to George's victory was obviously rehearsed beforehand, and the reaction of Sunak made him look totally stupid and totally out of touch. Whatever idiot suggested this course of action should be sacked.
Well done 🎉
hopefully he addresses issues at home, not just anger abroad.
I’m definitely voting for an independent. Conservatives and Labour are finished for me
So true
