It’s Rishi Sunak and co, not ‘the mob,’ that are the real threat to our democracy
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivers a speech at the Welsh Conservatives Conference 2024, at Venue Cymru in Llandudno, North Wales, February 23, 2024
DEMOCRACY is in danger, the Prime Minister has announced.
We agree. However, it is plain that the threat to civil freedoms comes from Rishi Sunak himself, his Tory government and the supine Labour opposition.
It is challenging to take Sunak’s assertion that the country faces “mob rule” seriously. It is as inane as Suella Braverman’s claim that Islamists are running the country — a sign of the Tories’ neo-populist fever.
