The biggest threat to the UK is another 5 years of the tories.
I hope he is getting our security forces to look into this threat to Westminster’s sovereignty.
He likes his bogeymen
He can say what he likes, he will be out of power by the end of the year and likely to fuck off and fill his pockets for the rest of his like.
Sooo “aggressive fringe groups” = roughly one half of a country in a “union of equals”. Got it.
Yasss, we made a list!
Hope it keeps him up at night
Forgot to list the Tory party as a threat
In England as the U.K. the Tories say that to protect democracy you must vote Tory… you’re entitled to vote for anyone you want, just so long as it’s a WM political party. Didn’t a Mr Hitler use a similar style of argument to gain control of the Reichstag in 1933? Fuck off Sunak. You’re an agent of a foreign power. Indian politicians are openly bragging that they have one of their men running England & they’re going to get payback for all the years of Empire.
The Authoritarian Playbook. Promise to be the sole saviour that will address all problems.
And a bit of ageism from today’s nonsense in an FT article:
One Tory aide said Sunak, 44, was comfortable with change. “Keir Starmer is a little older [61] and grounded in older ideas, whereas Rishi Sunak is … confident in new technologies,” they said. “I don’t think you’ll get that fresh thinking from Starmer.”
Yes we should attempt to negate all such Russian influenced groups that want the UK weakened.
For someone with the power to say No forever to any Indyref he sure seems to lack the confidence having that power would bring. What info does he have about scottish independence that the rest of us don’t I wonder.
But then again, fascists require their enemies to be weak and strong at the same time to generate support. “Weak, defeatable, not a threat to us but we must face them as they are the greatest threat to us.”
As a Scottish nationalist I take that as a compliment
It was only natural the jocks would be next after they pesky refugees causing all of little englands problems
I’m flattered. Hope he worries about it day and night.
Got to love the irony that in order to protect democracy you need to vote Tory, a party which is entirely devoted to sucking corporate dick.
Sunak isn’t making sense here, but then again, he hardly ever does.
Time to let the dead wood go Rishi if thats how you feel.
>Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has named Russia, China, Iran and “Scottish nationalists” as major threats to the UK in a major speech.
‘CRIS’ t on a bike…
It’s feckin laughable and desperate. My father was in the military , serving this country and is a Scottish nationalist so therefore he is an extremist. It’s f**ckin insulting.
Sunak needs to take a long look in a mirror.
I tend to poke a lot of fun at die hard scottish nationalists as they tend to support the useless SNP, but this is total comedy gold from Rishi, wow
> And he suggested the UK could leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) if the court in Strasbourg seeks to block deportation flights, saying international frameworks are “outdated” and “there may be flashpoints ahead with the ECHR”.
