Gary Neville denies plot to run for Labour in Greater Manchester while attacking Tories
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has blasted the Tory government as 'immoral', insisting that Sir Keir Starmer becoming prime minister 'cannot come quick enough'. He has also cooled talk of becoming an MP or succeeding Andy Burnham as Greater Manchester's mayor, insisting he would rather be a 'loose cannon on the outside'.
“People are struggling to pay their energy bills. I don't know any person on more than £150,000 a year that will think it's the right thing to do to basically give us more money,” Gary said. “The problem we have is that the Conservative Party is very good at telling you that green is red and blue is green. We've got to the point whereby they make you feel like waiting two weeks to see your doctor is a good result.
“They are that cruel this government that even wealthy people are bemused. We know this is not a time for us to be able to get more money. He added: “Football at this time is a little bit of a representation of our society. We’ve got enough money in football to go around, the top clubs think that they should keep it, that it shouldn’t be distributed more fairly to the rest. There is a lack of fairness and the reality is we need to change that - and it is the same in society.”
