George Galloway has warned "there is a very real danger" of Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage "running away with this election", due to the "emptiness" of the Labour and Conservative Party's leadership. Unveiling the Workers Party of Britain's manifesto, its leader added he has "never seen an election in which two people who less deserve to be the prime minister of Britain are competing for that office".

00:00There's a very real danger of Nigel Farage running away with this election because of
00:10the deliberate vacuity—I'm not accusing either Sunak or Starmer of being stupid—the
00:17deliberate and contrived vacuity, emptiness, of their leadership and their programs.
00:27People—I mean, it's not for nothing that my phrase, that they, Labour and Tory, are
00:35two cheeks of the same backside, has become the most famous thing I've ever said in
00:42all my life.
00:44I have never seen an election in which two people who less deserve to be the prime minister
00:53of Britain are competing for that office.
00:57And that's reflected in the polls.
00:59In the latest polling, the number of people, percentage of people, who will be voting Labour
01:06or Conservative is going to be the lowest since the Second World War.
01:12When Sunak called the election, there were 181 Tory candidates short, showing the level
01:20of disarray at the top of the Tory party.
01:24In fact, when they got rid of Boris Johnson, which many of them, I think, now regret, it's
01:30been downhill all the way.
01:33And no one who saw the Liz Truss interregnum, worsted by Rishi Sunak, could possibly dispute
01:43that.
01:44My target, as all of you know, principally is Labour, because we are the spirit of Labour's
01:53past, or rather, what Labour was supposed to be.
01:57I realise that the danger of Farage running away with this election are very real indeed.
02:06The first reason is that the others have nothing to say.
02:09Farage has something to say.
02:13What he's saying is wrong.
02:16What he's saying will not solve our problems and will deepen many of our pre-existing policies.
02:23But he is saying something, and he's saying it with zeal, he's saying it with a spring
02:31in his step, and he's speaking it in human.
