George Galloway: 'I despise the prime minister'

um, I'm standing here at George Galloway's campaign headquarters. George Galloway, did you just watch the Prime Minister's speech? I didn't see it, but I understood the first part related to Rosdale's election. The

prime

minister

just said that your choice. his presentation to Parliament is more than horrifying, what does he say? Well, I can understand how disappointed you are about the election B. The conservative party, which is the government of the country, was crushed not only by an independent candidate that no one had ever had. I've heard about it before outside of Rdale, so it was a disastrous night for the Conservatives and a disastrous night for the workers.

I got more votes than Labor and the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats and the Reform Party combined, which adds up to a pretty overwhelming rejection of the two-party system, so I understand why you're alarmed. I want you to address some of the details that the Prime Minister said about you this afternoon. He said you supported Hezbollah. It's true? I do not know what that means. He backed Hezbollah. I oppose Israel's occupation of Lebanon and respect the right of the people in the occupied territory to resist its occupation, and have done so since the Hezbollah wars were formed and Israel occupied much of Lebanon up to the Latan River , regularly bombing Beut, etc.

I'm not sure what that matters to him because, you see, they are a terrorist terrorist organization, they are actually part of the government of Lebanon, a country that we have sovereign diplomatic relations with. I had this debate with Sky anab botting in 2006, it's quite an epic clip, you should watch it. Over 100 million people said all these things about me in the midterms and in the midterms they were the ones who got crushed in the Democratic process, so I'm not sure why you would reheat it. Now the Prime Minister says speak, this is God, we are talking about little Rishi Sunak at the end of his tenure as Prime Minister, don't talk to me as if he came down from the mountain with tables of stone, the things he says are somehow had the intention to owe me maybe they owe you they don't owe me many people just saw what the Prime Minister said this is your chance to respond to what he said, he says there are forces here at home trying to tear us apart, he is implying that you he is a divisive figure, he has run an election campaign that has tried to appeal particularly, not entirely, to a section that won the election, me or Rishi Sunak, I have the Democratic mandate here, not Rishi Sunak, he does not.

He didn't even come second, he was lucky to come third, so don't mention to me the statements made by Rishi Sunak as if I'm supposed to be impressed by them, am I not very impressed? We've spent some time at Sky. On the streets of Rdale today there are people who say they feel intimidated by people like you and the people who have supported you have simply pointed out that you have concentrated your campaign on Foreign Affairs and they are worried that Rochdale will not be the WID, that is my answer. I have just been elected with an overwhelming majority by the electorate in rdale, that is all that matters to me, so why are people on the streets of rdale today worried?

Well, people voted yesterday and they voted for it. Why is it difficult for you to understand that? Why are there people in the streets worried? There may be people who didn't vote for me and are worried, but the majority, the overwhelming majority voted for me. I have the mandate and I am going to the House of Commons with this and it is a mandate that you plan to do because there are people who listen to what you say, what you say about whether or not Israel has the right to exist, what you say about what many Jews think they are.

It's threatening we had this conversation last night why are you reheating it? because in the light of the

prime

minister

don't keep talking to me about the prime minister as if he were Moses don't you respect the prime minister he is me I don't I respect the Prime Minister, I

despise

the Prime Minister and guess what, guess what millions and millions and millions of people in this country

despise

the Prime Minister. I don't respect the Prime Minister at all. What do you plan to do next week when you arrive? Parliament, well, I will meet the President on Monday morning and then I will be introduced and sworn in.

I will be joined by the Right Honorable Member David Davis, former Vice President of the Conservative Party. I don't know why he would do that. If you thought I was the type of man, you are clearly implying that I am David Davis, he is one of the great MPs of today and this time, and I will take my seat in the House of Commons and speak for the people. from Rosdale, that's what I was elected for and what's your message to K St as well. My message to K Starmer is that the skids are under you, uh, in dozens of Labor seats across the country because they've lost confidence in you.

We have lost the trust of millions of their traditional loyal voters now that we have had, now we have had an election in which two of the candidates have alleged intimidation. The Prime Minister made reference to that bullying in his speech to the Prime Minister, as if that was supposed to be Impress me, the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister is a rather diminutive, diminished and degraded politician, he made a partisan political statement. . I don't care about Rishi Sak's attitude, what matters to me is that the returning officer is a man of impeccable integrity. Surely they will agree to declare a free and fair election and me as the winner and Rishi Sunak as one of the two big parties crushed in the state, so why are there two?

Why are there two candidates? Keep repeating the same questions because I have others. people to talk to, so this will be the last one. We have accusations of intimidation in a match. Allegations that his supporters intimidated other candidates. times you said that the returning officer declared it last night. you were there as a free and fair election and I. Since the winner and the elected commission and the electoral commission today have said that they are going to look and talk to the parties, they have to endure. I won the election, George Galloway, thank you very much, that was George Galloway with his followers. now shouting goodbye uh live on SK News his first reaction to the professional's speech you can hear some of the reactions to the way George Galloway responded to the Prime Minister's speech on that extraordinary Friday night. address on the steps of Downing Street and you can see some of the fear that I think the people of rdale have experienced during this by-election about the latest angry political hiss from our establishment politicians and you can see the ugly atmosphere and the anger uh In This room, about an hour before a rally, a George Galloway election victory party will begin with the politicians and you can hear the raw emotion of dogist politics directed at other politicians, others who criticize them.

I think there's a flavor in this room of the politics right now in rdale that this constituency has been witnessing over the last few weeks uh and uh this I think you can see and you can see the way I think it sums up some of the campaigns that we have seen in Ro we
