Ken Clarke gets his revenge on Boris Johnson as the MP labels him 'disingenuous'

- Опубліковано 3 вер 2019
- The Former Conservative MP called Boris ‘disingenuous’ and told him to stop playing games over Brexit.
The veteran MP had been sacked from the Tory Conservative party along with 20 of his colleagues after they sided with the opposition in an attempt to block a No Deal Brexit on October 31.
Mr Clarke wasted no time and told Boris exactly what he thought about him.
“I do think the Prime Minister, with the greatest respect, has a tremendous skill in keeping a straight face whilst he is being so disingenuous.”
His remarks prompted applause from opposition MPs but Boris remained unimpressed.
The PM’s bold rallying cry to go to the polls was rejected by MPs who claimed he was setting them a ‘trap’.
Only 298 MPs opted for an election - far short of the two thirds of MPs (434) he needed to get it through.

Q
It does make me laugh how fickle the liberals are over Ken Clarke because he happens (now happened) to be one of the few Tory MPs who were anti Johnson and Brexit. The guy is the very definition of Thatcherism. You should read up on the rampant homophobia he was behind on the blood scandal. That's the "Treasure" you speak of.
Ken Clarke telling it exactly as it is, Boris still acts like a child and that it's one big game.
The Tories voting for Iain Duncan Smith as their leader instead of Ken Clarke in 2001, purely because of their views on Europe, was a comically stupid decision and act of self harm.
Absolutely brilliant, good on you Ken!
It’s like a teacher telling his student he’s wrong and the student just saying , I don’t care I’m right.
the teacher is teaching flat earth theory.
The teacher is telling the student that his presumptions are incorrect. I don't see eye to eye with Ken Clark on everything but he has a valid and substantially accurate point of order. As the Father of the House he is reflecting the correct view in that respect of order. He is a bit like me. I don't give tuppence for assinine theories and I don't do so for Boris Johnson. I hope that I am profoundly adding to our So called P.M. problems and difficulties as well!
@@stephenfarthing1522 exactly that's what I said.😂
What a man. Honest and consistently so. Such a contrast to the mop top.
Tell me you know nothing about Ken Clarke without telling me you know nothing about Ken Clarke
Why isn’t Ken Prime Minister?
Because he's an idiot
Please don't be too polite ..He's an oxygen thief ...
@@delcamelot Because he actually knows what he's talking about? A rare quality in UK politics these days, I agree.
@@propjoe1060 Didnt he preside over the imported blood scandal ?
He was advocating to build a better Europe to be profitable for both the UK and continental Europe. He had no chance to become a Tory leader without a touch of exceptionalism, nostalgia and basic anti EU rhetoric.
Most of these comments are written by the same 5 people in a room.
i have been making comments, i think the only room is in your head.
@@andrewray9200 you're profile has nothing on it. Clearly fake. Stop spreading lies and try and live decently
Either fake or immensely idiotic people.
@Mountain Sun-Beach I said "most". There are definitely some real comments on here, but the majority are government funded (several people hired to create fake profiles and make anti EU rants that inspire lost souls like yourself). I understand you're unhappy, but I wish you'd understand that you've been targeted because you're easily manipulated.
@@maxhalley The EU is so good it didn't destroy two thirds of the Greek economy. There you are, a more positive spin.
Ken Clarke is a great example of a self serving politician.
Pretending he cares about the people of this country..
Leave means leave!!

Ken Clarke serives himself and his eu puppet masters
Believe In Britain. Leave means leave. Brexit means Brexit. 17.4 million people. In Europe not apart of Europe. We sell more to them, and they do to us. Self-serving politicians. Metropolitan elite. Why do you all speak in soundbites?
Use your brain to come up with something original.
holydrones regardless how the leave like myself says it,
remainers would never understand.
To simply it, we have given many countries independence,
it’s time for us to have our independence...also, the Eu deals with 2 largest economic countries in the world, which is China and America, and that’s through WTO.
@@richierich7516 Yes, but the EU has 50 free trade deals, which we, the UK get to enjoy as a member. The US has free-trade deals with 20 countries, plus it's a huge resourceful country. I don't understand what your point is. Are you saying we should
renege all existing trade arrangements, and trade exclusively on WTO? Because that would make us more independent? Why didn't you say you wanted to "take back control"? ;)
This gentlemen sure put Boris in his seat. You said it so smoothe. Great on you. Nice to see Theresa May sitting next to him, she sure looks great not having to deal with crap. But good luck Britain I hope you guys get it worked out. We here in the U.S. know how you're feeling, were still waiting for all the idiots in the house and Senate, to smack him down. 2020 new president for us.
Ken Clarke is my MP, proud of you, can we have you as a PM - a caretaker of this process, and to stop this ridiculous situation
Ken should have been PM. He makes Boris look like the complete idiot that he is.

@Geek Gaming
You are correct. This is closer to Dropping the Pilot. Johnson needed these people but he is destroying the Party over a single issue.
@Geek Gaming Oh I don't know, politicians have a penchant for exaggeration. Certain Labour MP's managed to turn one vaguely antisemetic online comment, by someone who may or may not have been a Labour party member, into kristallnacht.

This is a great time to know politics. The success of the Corbyn concept against this Whale in a Barrel mentality of global domination has ended. Tel Aviv is that. A whale in a barrel. Tel Aviv knows they are in serious trouble. Since Tel Aviv sits on occupied territory, Lord Rothchild and the Memory of Lord Balfour will be seriously impeached for a century of evil. That's a serious achievement. They couldn't stop the flow of open dialog, and they are about to become even more fascist, ignorant of their own failures.
I’m sure it’s a great spectator sport, but it’s bloody scary being inside the maelstrom.
Ken Clarke is a total disgrace
Good riddance to bad rubbish, you traitor, Mr Clark !!!
Ken Clarke has been sacked lol
He can stand for re-election as independent, if any of the MP's who were kicked out win it just reduces the Tory majority.
The only reason that the Conservatives have held the seat of Rushcliffe (pro remain) is due to that man Ken Clarke. Replacing him with any other candidate would see his huge majority collapse and it would be unlikely they’ll hold that seat. A stupid move from Boris!
Ken Clarke sneakey little creep
you fat cat!!
OLd guy very sharp and not afraid of a bully. I liked it.
Istvan Baptsan - I do - as well! For one simple reason. Ken Clark IS correct!
Istvan Baptsan it's not surprising. If he can stand up against Thatcher, standing up against a clown like Boris should be simple.
Boris has got the shelf life of a loaf of Bread and he’s already gone mouldy!
So the 486 MPs who voted remain in the referendum think that it is okay to decide to ignore the 17.4 million who voted leave and just continue as if remain won the day. No one buys this nonsense of delay...that is code for deny. Deny the leave voters their democratic right. The losers deciding the future of the winners is a total conflict of interest when those making the decisions are dishonest, and duplicitous. Greed and self interest is paramount to these MPs who have no moral compasses
The people had the chance to throw out remain MPs in 2017, yet voted to keep them. Did you forget the last election came AFTER the referendum?
Maybe the 17.4 million no longer exists. Maybe that number vanished between article 50 being invoked and the election.
We won't know without another referendum but I'm pretty confident there are no longer 17.4 million leave voters. There's less now than in 2016
@@randomdaveUK Utter rubbish...there will be no 2nd Referendum either..
@@EnglishTurbines it's not rubbish, we don't know do we? 3 years later and we have no idea of numbers, only that the country doesn't want a no deal brexit

Wow, the sun posting something that doesn't show boris in the best light, speechless
So according to Ken Clarke we need additional time to discuss "a deal" when we have already had over three years to do so. Let us be frank, he does not want Brexit and never will....the hypocrisy of him calling Boris Johnson being disingenuous in incredible. The only person trying to keep a straight face is him.
No, he never said he wants more time to negotiate another deal. He never said that. He just thinks that Brexit should be stopped altogether.
@@valicourt Hi. Correction, he states "(this) bill...will give the beginning of pathway to give us more time for grown up and sensible diplomatic exchange" i.e. I agree with you- carry on the pretence at negotiation although he does not want Brexit.
Let the pics be printed of exactly why he is a EU puppet but what MSM would print the truth as there in the same boat
@@valicourt He voted for the Brexit three bloody times!
Boris the Russian derailed brexit by undermining fmr pm may. As ken Clark is saying, boris is gonna play the nationalism card.

100% RIGHT I VOTED OUT BUT NOT WITH A NO DEAL
@@life107familyfitnessboxing8 I voted to leave without a deal. Always have done.
@Mountain Sun-Beach Typical remainer telling leavers what they voted for. Don't tell me what I voted for because you're wrong. I am just one individual of many. How many you ask? You and I don't know that answer so STOP pretending you do! Let that burn in a little before you reply.
But the "Remainers" have been the ones asking for a confirmatory Public Vote on Brexit for ages...so they do want it to go back to the public!
The thing is Ken what you call “Brexit” is Not Leaving!
That is disingenuous.
I agree with every single word.
"disingenuous" ! God grief! are they allowed to use such language in the British Parliament?
@Daniel Marlow I agree. Clearly they are striving for the illusion of intelligence.
@@steven5341 Either that, or you have chosen to discredit the merit of his statement based upon his use of 'long words' .
@@Ytremz What made me laugh was the headline about Clarke getting revenge through the use of the word disingenuous. It reminded me of the time Healey said that an attack from Howe was "like being savaged by a dead sheep"
Clarke thinks he holds the higher moral highgound but forgets that Boris was chosen by Tory MPs & party members & as such should be giving him his full support. If it were a business he would have been given the sack ages ago. You can't be in a team & be working against them all the time. He has let down everybody because of his own vanity & arrogance.
Emm.... or he thinks No Deal is a bad idea...
Dementia? Or alcohol vapours?
@@friendofgod001
''Emm.... or he thinks No Deal is a bad idea...''
....he is an MP...he doesn't get to do what he wants based on flights of fancy...he stood on a manifesto...if he is not willing to deliver on it and the promises he made to his electorate he should stand down and have a bye-election.
I love Ken Clarke! He’s brilliant and speaks the truth ❤️
Does Clark think we are stupid.
He speaks the truth
@ Mark Harris - Care to elaborate?
No but Boris Johnson does
You are stupid, so he’d be correct.
Probably, and in your case, I'd say he'd probably be quite right.

Yes, that's right, they don't care, and with people like you spouting deluded platitudes, why would they?
"playing games" to stop brexit .... that's Clarke every bit of the way since 2016. Clarke has never had any intention of honoring the referendum.
What referendum... the one where we voted for no deal..
John
Self serving politicians!
Even though he's voted to leave the EU 3 times now?
@@friendofgod001
The one where we voted to leave without any mention of deals whatsoever.
***FATHER of real mess***
Ken! So brilliantly sublime! No truer word spoken! The only thing that the redundant speed bump Johnson cares about is himself. Has and has always been all about himself. A classic arch narcissist. Who is now trying to deflect his failure onto others.
How much more time do you need? You've had 3 BLOODY YEARS already!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Lots more I hope best TV soap ever
Lee Baxter haha so you’re saying we can’t just leave?
It's a grown up telling the kids to behave themselves, while the kids are innocently claiming we weren't doing anything. Don't be surprised by anything from these Eton scallywags. it was another one of them who put us in the smelly stuff in the first place and he's making more money from it in a book after he heroically walked away from it.....
Fantastic where are the mps of this calibre any more
Well said Ken
It's cruel of these parliamentarians to drag some poor old, disheveled homeless wino off the streets, away from his cardboard box and make him splutter away in public.
.....How utterly right he was. He saw it, the European Union saw it, certainly Boris and his cronies saw it.... Apparently the majority of the British voters saw absolutely nothing!
Go on ken,say it as it is. Truth hurts but it must be told.
wow a sensible politician at last :o

Glad to see Ken Clarke gone.
That's one less traitor in the way.
He’s not gone. He is still an MP and father of the house.
@@chewypiano7194 he's gone in the sense that he's had the whip removed and won't be there much longer once we've had a general election. He may well be the father of the house but he's still a despicable quisling lickspittle. What a traitor. 😁
HolyCannoli The fact that he’s had the whip removed is irrelevant considering he was planning to retire before the next election anyway
@@chewypiano7194 well it's nice to see his political career coming to an ignominious end. I'm sure it's not what he'd have wanted.
Ken is spot on, commons will miss father of the house. Boris is crashing us out of the EU instead of attempting to do on sensible terms. The UK would be the one to suffer the most. It's not just about Brexit it's about the way it is conducted.
slackster999 Not true.
Why is Ken Clarke still sitting on the Conservative benches?
No he is not. He is sitting right behind the prime minister on the Tory benches
Sounds like a wise man !
Retribution is coming from the UK electorate Ken Clarke. The MP's who voted against the government should be very very afraid.
You mean MPs like BoJo who voted against the Government countless times?
He has made it clear that he will retire. I don't think he is consumed by fear.
oooo scared.
And they are 100% aware of this and there gravy train will come to a sudden halt
Donald love your comment revolution bring it on
Voice of reason in very unreasonable times.
Voice of reason lol. He lobbied for tobacco companies for years. He assumed we voted to leave with a deal.. no, we voted to leave.
He wants to keep the current trade deals because it favours his friends. We can trade with Canada, Australia, USA, commonwealth, Hong Kong. The list goes on and on
@@KcKeegan Leaving with a sensible deal is still a deal. No deal had no mandate and thankfully will not happen. In the EU we enjoy I think it is 41 or 42 trade deals with over 70 countries and can trade tariff free with countries like Canada. No version of Brexit gets anywhere near what we currently enjoy but we will have to settle for second best I guess.

People like Ken Clark said exactly the same thing about Churchill, thank God the British people took no notice of the appeasers. Bloody Quisling.
great speech from one of the few grown ups in the room
Boris is learning from The Donald’s famous masterpiece “The Art of the Deal” - which BTW is not helping The Donald when it comes to negotiations with China 😜😜
China is being tough. Never-the-less China is being hit with tariffs. The more the Chinese respond, the more Trump lays on China. With a trade deficit so large, there is no way America can lose a trade tariff war...
In 2016, not one candidate from either party mentioned China except for Trump and now the world turns on the deal. Trump has got Xi's head in a blender. 20% stock market rise is just a matter of time and the rest as they say "will be history!" Go Trump!
This has to be a phase in democratic evolution like scandi top rate
I wish we could leave this lot with the EU!!! House of Commons no longer serves the will of the people!!!
well it seems to serve the will of 48% of the people.
What was the "will of the people"?
Was it based on a Leave campaign of exiting with a deal or exiting without a deal?
I can remember that the leave campaign prompted leaving on a promise that it will be WITH a deal. And so they gained popularity. But don't think for one minute that everyone who voted to leave wanted a "No deal" scenario.
@@cheekymonkey3829 Don't think that everyone voting for leave wanted to leave with a deal. You see how your argument can be used against you? Your arguments hold zero ground because if we use your logic then we wouldn't get anywhere after any referendum because people vote for different reasons all the time. Also, it was mentioned tonnes of times prior to the referendum if we failed to get a deal we would leave on WTO terms.
