Who went to Ireland and came back putting us at a new national threat level not seen in 25 years ? That would be rishi ! . It’s this party who goes around painting targets on this country

[@coateskylie]

He never mentioned Brexit as an economic threat

[@ML-xh1go]

Because it isn’t a threat,did you not pay attention

[@stevebartley8902]

I hope he includes the Tories as a threat.

[@joannahart1604]

Any person tearing the U.K. apart is you Rishi Rich 💰🤑 !!!

[@s.r.howell1297]

I do get sick of him bad mouthing Wales.

[@davidhall7744]

The more Rishi Rich tells how bad things are and how worse they get, in fact even when he opens his mouth at all - it just just reminds me how much I despise him and his vile incompetent & corrupt party and makes me even more determined to vote Labour for the first time in my life to get rid of him and his cabal.

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.

YOU Sunak,Yes YOU.

Well, I'm surprised by other people's comments on this speech. And how people about not evaluating the the content of the speech! I too as a lay person share the prime minsters concerns. Especially with regard to the black boats and asylum seekers. As a former rough sleeper myself and living with people who have no legal right to be here. Do people on the this webchat, not understand the threat of mass asylum seekers? Which is a 'perfect storm' in the making? Not only from resentment form the UK population here of illegal asylum seekers, but the threat to national cohesion & the threat of losing their lives as asylum seekers. The technological threats to the workforce and our way of life, the prime minster highlights ...are frightening! Do people here not see the fourth revolution as being even more impactful from the 2nd Industrial Revolution, that the prime minister talks about. This is the only leader I have heard so far, that has at least forewarned of what is to happen...and neither party, has a credible strategy for dealing with the AI and technology storm's - aftermath. Off- track to the speech! The Rwanda scheme is costly. It is a deterrent....it is advertising to make think people twice, about coming here illegally. Does advertising work? ....Yes it does, or else why is it performed? This is no 'gimmick' as a scheme, as the Labour party is saying. I lived in Australia and Australian's have zero tolerance to illegal migration. Their equivalent of Rwanda, is Naru. Has the scheme worked as a deterrent....Yes! It is time to lead our partners around the world, to a review of outdated human rights treatise on refugees and asylum seekers? The current treatise are not based on what is happening around the world, with global displacement, people seeking to leave regimes [18] in Africa, as the prime minster mentions and more. We have to defend these islands 'What ever the cost may be!'

all party's are hopeless.

[@lunaviasole1739]

The UK is one of the leading donors to Ukraine, alongside the US and Germany. The UK has pledged £12.5 billion in support to Ukraine since February 2022, of which £7.6 billion is for military assistance. This includes £3 billion for military assistance in 2024/25

[@mrsmammymac]

Yes and Russia will not forgive the UK for that !

[@chriskinhart491]

The biggest danger the uk is facing is him .

[@saragonmcenany6229]

Stopped doing PMQs? Rishi Soonout not winning?

[@joancooley1387]

Yep, robots have officially come to the forefront. But there are some problems. The one they named ‘Sunak’ has severe verbal dihorrea.

[@lw1zfog]

‘Bull$hit Mr Han Man’

[@mrsmammymac]

Yes Russia For Christ sake

[@canalcreations]

using a speech for electioneering...isnt that illegal

[@ISuperTed]

In Rishi’s case it’s ill-advised, he has the delivery of a wet Salmon.

[@lesleywild8706]

What is he wobbling on about again now - stating the obvious I expect - as though he is educating us (the sub-humans) whilst his government probably caused the disaster in the first place. After listening to this - are we supposed to have any faith in voting for the Conservative Party - by any chance?

[@niknikmoore]

Policy Exchange obviously are not aware of the correct shoes that go with a Suit! And white soles too!

[@caplockon9481]

Hes only making speeches to Potential new employers, no Interest in what matters to the ordinary working folk who continue to be blamedcfor the failings of 14 years of the Tories, if someone can tell us how we should feel save in crumbling hospitals with overworked staff. There is no need to talk about hidden dangers when there is plenty staring us in the face, children in poverty getting left behind, unpaid carers propping up social care, wages that dont cover the basics, so people go hungry or rack up debt not on holidays and cars but to put the heating on. Its hard to be around of a country that's being destroyed by those trusted to make the right choices on our behalf, not line their pockets or their friends pockets.

[@gemmajohnson2616]

Whopper

[@nirabhasin2892]

Such an amazing clear speech. His concerns are genuine. We have never had such a passionate PM totally dedicated to take care and protect U.K.. Those slandering him should really think that any other choice of PM would never be able to match such dedication and such professionalism!❤

[@davidhall7744]

#Torybot 😂

[@gazza4230]

Pmsl 🤣

[@edmurth]

Terrible bot is terrible

[@lw1zfog]

🥴🤦🏽‍♂️🤡

[@nelch]

Rantings of an insane person- would be funny if he wasnt in charge of the country

[@G0ldfingers]

Time for Britain to be proud of what it has achieved, and knuckle down to protect us and the future, bring back patriotism, and dismiss all the naysayers internally and abroad, now is not the time to change Governments, new people in important roles will always need to get up to speed and that will put the country at risk of those who would bring down the country.

[@nelch]

Nonsense

[@ISuperTed]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I needed a clown to cheer me up

[@davidhall7744]

#Torybot strikes again! 🤖

[@edmurth]

Tory bots are about as convincing as the clown giving the speech.

[@jcvastgoed1490]

More lies then you can count. This is really getting ridiculous .
