- "Not having any substance behind the rhetoric. These are exactly the attacks you see on Keir Starmer now levelled on Tony Blair.”
Matt Chorley says he “never appreciated” how much Blair was accused of being “all over the place” in the run up to the 1997 election, in conversation with Times columnist Patrick Maguire.

Agree that Major gave as good as he got from Blair but Sunak is so bad at politics, Starmer runs rings round him everytime.
Most people can see Sunak isn’t a leader, he’s weak, he follows his party not leads, stark contrast to Starmer.
I think this will be none more blatant at election time televised debates.
Regardless of criticism of Starmer as policies, U-turns, etc, I think he's got the competence to lead better.
It may very well be more of a vote against the tories than for Labour, but hopefully they can prove themselves beyond one term, and prove credibility.
Regardless of those saying the current Labour is similar to the Conservatives. Nothing can be worse than the current government record of 14 years
@@PD-jk5hdsunak leader at the wrong time.
Yes get Keir in front of the camera's lets stretch his persona to see whats really there..... Lie's and just a career MP, not looking for that in a leader for me. Rishi has something tangible I feel, i'm feeling the difference so thats a start@@PD-jk5hd
This was a fascinating listen/watch, really good
Tony Blair was dominating at that time tbf, it was his charisma, and way of speaking, as much as arguments. But the Tory gov's incompetance at that time is echoed today. Not sure about the attempt to rehabilitate Major here.
John Major, who actually had allot of acheavements as PM. He was to sensitive, as He later admits, and as Blair, said his biggest weakness was taking personally what Blair said.
Word salad.
Starmer is more him likes a northerner😂
Grammar is indeed dead
@@Randomstuffs261 You, mean Grammar, comma is indeed dead fullstop.
@@veggie42 Starmar?.
wowee...PMQs has been like this for decades!!!!!
It has t it seems to be so bad now too strict
How can you even compare Starmer to Blair. Come on , this is ridiculous. Blair was completely out of Starmers league .
Yep. Just for the law. DPPs don't usually speak much or go into politics this very unusual..same with young single mothers without many exams.. they met their match Little Britain😂
Peter Shore, former front bencher, passionate anti EEC Labour left winger going back to the 1975 referendum. Interesting in 1997, he was still intervening on currency and sovereignty issues
KS: "Ask me the questions voters, umm I mean bridge keeper, I'm not afraid".
Bridge Keeper: "What is your name?"
KS: "It's Keir Starmer MP of Holburn and St Pancras..."
Bridge Keeper: "What is your quest?"
KS: "I seek to become Prime Minister of Great Britain".
Bridge Keeper: "WHAT IS A WOMAN!?"
KS: "Umm..... well.... I.... *WAAAH!*"
No.
Why’s there an apostrophe in the graphic?
It's a colon I think. The colon button is right above and to the left of the question mark and directly below the P.
@@brianwarden7250 In the graphic? It’s an apostrophe.
Half measures,good intentions,trying to please all.The alternative is Thatcher,all conviction but lacking humanity.A pragmatist however is always preferable to an ideologue.Bad for press copy though.
I sincerely hope not 🤐
Used to have Cabinet twice a week as I recall
Blair changed it to Wednesdays in 1997
That's PMQs not the cabnet.
Tuesdays
Starmer is the next Starmer.
Why do the media keep digging up Blair, he's nothing to be admired.
Yes!!! He's got to be himself. He and Rayner with the Reeves in the middle with her money the Chinese Reeves Turtle😂
As Blair is the only Labour leader to actually win an election since 1979, it’s only natural.
Lol what?!?!?.
Peter shores sort of view have disappeared from labour? Heard of blue labour
Starmar is more like Major than Blair . Major Minor?
Itll be back to basics.
Yes indeed. Surrey grammar schooled with northern mouth Currie by his side..imagine Nigella doing the money instead 😂
If you had a time machine and you could go back in time and stop either Tony Blair or Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire ripper) from being born which one would you choose?
Not sure because both had let people die. Sutcliffe like.other killers.also.killed Street women. Blair it was armed forces and people caught up in the targets where they claimed saddam was..Israel and Pal/ Hamas turning like this now
might be worse tbh!!!!! Times have changed....
In a word, no.
Is it now Times style policy to use wrong millennial apostrophes in thumbnails?
David Cameron, Rishi Sunak were the next Tony Blairs
Rishi no Tony Blair nowhere near
@@Mark-it6ue they're identical. LibLabCon is all the same
No chance. Especially Cameron .. tried his best to copy him but failed miserably
We've had 14 years of grinding Thatcherism, Blair oversaw +20% rise in average wages and well funded services after 14 years 5he Tories have added 1.6 trillion in debt and we're-7% worse off in average wages
@SlowhandGreg Oh give it a rest, politically, philosophically they're identical. You lot are just blinded tribalists. They are all 'Blairites'. Blair had more favourable macroeconomic conditions. You're totally deluded if you believe the Conservatives are right wing. Labour and the Tories are the same. New Labour was very pro privatisation, all the PFI schemes. Democracy is a lie
😂😂💃💃☝️☕ Good morning who enjoys a coffee I don't consider myself a communist fined Less fascist and Yankee I am a very honest person of the people and For the people I defend the taste not the corrupt me candid ☝️
Awesome. Yes politically seems another period. British Labour government England London in 2024 New Labour party British government but situation in Britain way harder than 1997. Keir starmer Labour same Tony Blair.
No he's not
John major lost. This is for the birds. Open your eyes to now.
He did because he took over in govt. Like sunak..but Starmer has Majors background and a northern loudmouth lady friend he was very ashamed of..
Hey Times Radio. You’re covering this and many insipid news stories, but not the ape nearly murdering someone on that train in SE London. Doesn’t it fit the narrative?
Starmer is that character in Harry and Paul, played down the pub by Mr Whitehouse. Strong views on everything until challenged, then about face. And about face again. And again.
He stated his 5 missions what more do you want?
Dont talk nonsense
@SlowhandGreg What I want is fairness, social justice and the most vulnerable to be protected. This will not happen under Starmer. Watch and learn the dismal truth.
@robblack533 Oh really? Let's look at pledges broken before they even assume power.
I. £28bn Green fund gone
ii. Promise to cap bankers bonuses gone
iii. Nationalisation of water companies gone.
iv. Halt to creeping NHS privatisation gone.
Plus, this is the man who stated on live television that cutting off gas, water and electricity to Gaza was OK. Seems to me you haven't been paying attention.
No he's Mr Brittas middle manager
Let’s face it, Keir Starmer doesn’t deserve to win. But the Tories deserves even more to loose.
Why?
He's a moderate, people don't want extreme
Let's not talk cobblers
@@SlowhandGreg People don't want spineless fence sitters neither.
Hes a stuck in the middle exposing the no 2
He's the next David Cameron
Nope
I thought that at first. Over the couple of years he's not. Cameron a leader not a follower. Even Pope says we need an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Cameron had called for humanitarian pause months ago. Starmer hadn't
No he varies sometimes more Bozo... and secretive
Kier Starmer is the next Theresa May
Actual think you might be spot on there!
@@MyTv- I actually spoke to Kier last night and he said that he hoped to emulate Mrs May's time in office 👍
@Crouchy232323 ooooh, she were good!
A male version? Possible. Yet not her style that's rayner her shoes..
@@veggie42 We don't make that sort of difference any more.
He'll (Starmer) be worse ..
He's not exactly got fun has he?
Can times radio only find liberal woke beards?
It’s very stale and starting to whiff.
Love keir can’t wait vote Labour ❤
You must be joking, Labour is no different to Conservative. I wouldn't vote for any of those clowns in that circus in parliament.
Your enthusiasm is borne of ignorance. Bless you.
@@stewartbunting3568read draft manifesto published last year and you'll see that is very far from the truth
I'm not a "traditional" labour voter, but I have to disagree with the two replies here.
I have never seen a political party cling to power & shred democracy like the Conservatives since 2010.
5 PM' in 14 years, leadership contest when they loose favour instead of a General Election
Local services & authority funding stripped to the bone
Removal of the fixed term Parliament Act
NHS & Police Funding in real terms cut
Economic stagnation
EU
Partygate
Illegal suspension of Parliament to push through legislation
Liz Truss
Rwanda
NHS Patient Satisfaction
Schools literally crumbling/falling apart
I cannot think of a single metric that is better now than before the Tories came to power.
To name just a handful & that's not even getting into the detail.
Everything has gone backwards, I genuinely feel embarrassed by our Government.
I believe that there is a better alternative, I might not agree with all of Labour policies/visions, but I believe they are capable of being far more responsible & respectable than the Tories.
@@stewartbunting3568Name a right wing Tory policy that Labour agrees with?
Tony Blair master Maine grate leader but Iraq war no truth
