George Galloway says he does not care about Rishi Sunak: Response explored in detail

As mentioned earlier, George Galloway emerged as the winner of the recent Rochdale by-election. As per The Guardian, Rishi Sunak then appeared on Downing Street, addressing the public for around 10 minutes. He mentioned the violent acts that have witnessed an increase for some time and added,

"Jewish children fearful to wear their school uniform lest it reveals their identity. Muslim women abused in the street for the actions of a terrorist group they have no connection with."

While Galloway has already shared his response to the speech in an interview with Sky News, he continued his criticism towards the UK Prime Minister at the campaign office. Galloway said he was uninterested in listening to Sunak's words and called him a "diminutive, diminished and degraded politician."

Saying that Sunak's words were a "party political statement" and he destroyed two essential parties of the state, Galloway continued,

"I don't care about Rishi Sunak's attitude. What I care about is that the returning officer, a man of unimpeachable integrity I'm sure you'll agree, declared it a free and fair election and me as the winner."
