Rishi Sunak is taking Yorkshire for a ride and it is time for a new force in British politics - GP Taylor

Sunak presides over a government that has done nothing to stop the chaos of so many people crossing the channel.

The situation is best summed up by Nigel Farage who said, “the appointment of Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor of the Exchequer on 14 October and the installation of Sunak as Prime Minister 10 days later represent nothing less than a coup. Any belief in a growth-driven strategy, or of encouraging the enterprise of Britain’s millions of small businesses, has died. There can be no more pretence. This government is a high tax, big state, social democrat betrayal of all that the Conservatives have ever stood for. A softening of our relationship with the bully boys of Brussels would be entirely in keeping with its current identity.”

The Conservative party has betrayed everyone who voted for them in 2019. When Boris Johnson said, ‘get Brexit done”, those within his own party began plotting his downfall. Their hope is to still overturn the vote of the British people and bring in Brexit in name only. Not only did they get rid of Mr Johnson but also, they so badly undermined Liz Truss that she had to go. Their powerful friends in big business and the City made sure that she would be scuppered. As Farage so rightly says, this was a coup that makes the Conservatives unfit to govern. They should go and go now. They do not want changes that make our country better, they only want power. In doing so, they are prepared to flip-flop policies to fit the moment. Due to this they will be eradicated at the next election.

Tory politicians tell us we must put up with cold and hardship, while they keep warm in their centrally heated homes paid for with our taxes. They will have Christmas parties that we will pay for. They call what they do leadership. That is not leadership, it is abuse. Thankfully, the British public is not stupid.

There is a sea-change coming in British politics that will see the two-party system thrown into the long grass. A quiet revolution is simmering in the cities and the shires. A growing number of people are becoming dissatisfied with politics based on power, not policies. There is a new insurgency in British politics and a demand for change. It will not be a revolution in the streets, but a revolution at the ballot box.

It is true that many people in Britain want a viable alternative to Labour and Conservative. Liberals and Greens have failed to attract the volume of voters seen by UKIP in the Euro elections. In the coming months, I expect to see a coming together of all the minor parties under the banner of Coalition for Britain. Such a gathering of Reform UK, UKIP and others would give a real alternative to the two main parties. It would be something that would give both Sunak and Starmer sleepless nights. The Whitehall bubble know that Farage is a winner who connects with people. They do not. They know that he has a genuine common touch. They do not. Many believe that the current political parties are not fit for purpose. Now is the time for a new force in British politics.
