Rishi Sunak announces general election for July 4

Rishi Sunak has announced a general election for July 4.
The prime minister addressed the nation from outside No 10 this afternoon and pledged to “fight for every vote”. Sunak addressed his achievements as chancellor during the Covid pandemic.
He was almost drowned out, however, a protester playing “Things can only get better” in Whitehall.

@georgehenry4686 i never said it was.. i was simply saying im glad we were going back too 2008.. Pre- Tory Britain.. You just jumped to your first bias, which is obviously a defensive move, so I'd say you have issues you need sorting. Have a word with yourself. Basically your a idiot, or more likey a kid whose yet to live. Get living.

Rishi in the Rain Our Kali Uga Prince Under purple acid rain, he enjoys good coke From the Mexican sugar cane He has working class friends, called cleaner He big lugs, to hear all the clearer, He is a real, man - of the time Spinning his business wheel Humming his tune That good times will be soon Britannia is his queen Rishi in the Rain Droplets, dropping from his brain Leaking out, words of honor, Like bravery, courage and conviction Does he enjoy being so wet Like an Indian Jungle Tigress Hunting through the annals of time A man that Kipling would call divine Rishi in the rain, washing himself down the drain

[@dmac4079]

We have better George Galloway and Corbin but we’re all to busy getting brainwashed by mainstream media to elect a leader that will actually benefit the people instead we elect idiots who send billions to fight wars which have nothing to do with us, so rishi and the elites can buy into the privatisation of Ukraine
