He needs to stop saying " i wouldn't have done that" and start saying what he would have and will do
As a German trying to improve my English I started watching all the English free tv channels like channel 4, itv and all those. I noticed that at night there is only teleshopping, while on the German channels you can see reruns of movies, series and documentaries on almost all channels all night long until the next morning. Teleshopping is only on a few channels. My question is why in the UK channels are not also shown repeats. I find the difference really extreme as I am used to switch between at least 20 different movies or series and additionally a lot of documentaries even late at night on German free TV. Is it more common that Brits watch pay tv like Sky instead of free tv? Sorry if this question may sound stupid
Clips and full episodes are available online of most television programs at this point, reruns are no longer beneficial. It's the same in the US.
BBC and Channel 4 are publicly funded, so it's cheaper not to pay more licensing for a rerun. And yes, paid TV is very popular, Sky has a good market share and most people watch reruns online. I wish my German was as good as your English!
Our free view is terrible. You can buy slightly less worse tv from broadband companies as part of your overpriced package. Young people don’t watch tv at all. You can just watch tv clips from broadcasters online nowadays. Like so
Your English is better than most British people's. Seriously. We're a barely literate bunch.
Thank you for all the answers. I unfortunately still have problems with sentence formation / grammar and sometimes use a correction for longer sentences.
This is the weirdest comment section I've ever seen on a political video.

Starmer should look to Australian Labor PM Anthony Albanese on how to win. Be authentic, demonstrate that character actually matters, push back against special interests, have a plan.
Starmer has no chance then! 😂
I agree that Albanese was far better than the alternative at the last election but he does have that worrying characteristic of Australian Labor Party leaders of the past 40 years of barely having adult work experience outside of politics or trade unions. Best of luck to him but the ALP does tend to eat its leaders.
Albanese doesn't push against special interests, he's trying to force through the biggest special interest policy possible in Aus by creating an additional bite of the political cherry for one race group above all others - even though that race group is already represented in Parliament by more Senators per head than any other race.
That would entail showing his personality, which he has none. That would also entail funding his run himself so he isn't held captive to donators wishes, which he can't because he's not going to spend his own money & even if he was going to he isn't rich enough to gamble taking that loss. He doesn't have a plan he has said nothing of note & I feel like he's maybe just after the top job because there's a pot of gold waiting for whoever gets the job with £100,000 ex prime ministers receive for the rest of their life.
lmaoooooooooooooooo

We live under the yoke of a regime which appears to consider us - the British people - a mere obstacle, and a bitterly resented one at that. This regime will allow us no more opportunity for hope, comfort or fulfilment in our lives, than is necessary to keep us from mass disobedience while they manage us out of existence as an identifiable people.
Ewe, the dirty corrupt and compromised BBC propagandists following the agenda and ‘reading their lines’ like they always do.
Remember when MSM actually had real journalists reporting real news that was relevant to the people watching it ? How is this latest distraction gonna help millions of people struggling to survive with the current cost of living crisis ? People losing their homes left right and centre, delving into their hard earned savings (if you have any) just to survive?
You should be reporting on how compromised, corrupt global governments and it’s placed WEF graduate political leaders are being controlled by the WEF - representing corporate interests and NOT THEIR OWN PEOPLE !, They have made BILLIONS over the last 4/5 years using the plandemic to initiate the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the upper class elitists. Tell us all how the banking-corporate system profited and still thrive to this day by the purposeful ‘essential only’ rhetoric during lockdown that destroyed millions of small and family businesses globally ? How big tech, big Pharma, MSM are the tools of the elitist system controlled to pump out absolute nonsense that is just meaningless white noise distraction so people can’t realise what’s been done and still being done ? Meanwhile we all suffer. But hey everyone; great news: Prince Harry did an interview and there is a war in the Ukraine. Great work BBC, you really are in touch with the country. 😢😮😡🤬👏🏼👏🏼
Ha ha ha ha ha! This bloke is sooooo funny! He should be leader of the Labour Party! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It feels like Labour just randomly picked someone out of their head office for leader and Starmer is the result, Sunak and him are equally limp leaders.
He’s always waiting for a focus group to tell him what he thinks.
You mean regular people? Who does Sunak listen too? the billionaires?
@@danielloughran2527 this country would be better served if people left the whataboutism out and thought about their leader’s objectively. I’m no fan of either of them, their each have significant flaws. This country deserves better.
But Johnson The Great Ditherer wasn’t? It was a key characteristic along with the lack of accountability and of course……the dishonesty…….the constant dishonesty.
johnson is a sociopath too. they listen to people only to know what they want to hear.
👌😁
The only alternative to sunak?
Remember. If it’s not good for the Conservatives, it’s good for you!
Remember if its yet another neoliberal government it wont be good for you because you are not a billionaire.
He openly prefers Davos to Westminster. He never wanted us to get out of lockdown.
He looks like a German to me
Lol
English = Angles = post Roman Germanic people that migrated from Northern Germany to England. So ofc people from England are gonna look like Germans
Very British to be German I guess. Just like the ruling family
The electorate looking towards Labour has more to do with being fed up with the Tories and Labour being the only alternative. However, Starmer being more moderate, even more 'normal' and approachable than Corbyn has helped not to deflect potential voters away. However, whilst I can't wait for the Conservative & Unionist Party to be kicked out of government, I still find that Labour are not instilling any confidence or enthusiasm in me or some others. The general mood simply seems to be, 'whatever, get the Tories out!'. Understandably so, of course.

Complete charisma bypass
Who cares. Boris Johnson had charisma, wouldn't it be nice to have a prime minister who wasn't a f##king game show host.
The leaders of all the main parties are almost politically identical centrist politicians. If the Conservatives had a conservative leader and the Labour Party had a socialist leader and the Greens and the Lib Dems had Centrist leaders then it might make it worthwhile voting. People often say that they're all the same and I think the main reason for that is because they're all the same.

How many PM would UK have
In almost the same time frame
I think criticising a lack of personality is a bit unfair; he was a prosecutor, not an actor. He needed to be straight-faced and professional, not charismatic and flamboyant. Give him a chance. Tony Blair could be said to have had charisma and he was/is an awful human. Similarly, Boris Johnson could be said to be flamboyant and he wasn't a popular PM.
Kier's speech was good (good speech writers are crucial). I do hope he can prove the HOWs, rather than just state the WHATs, as the speech promised.
It's hard to believe in politics and politicians. Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister are just as relevant now as they ever were. But I'm willing to give Kier a chance. I like him just for being a Remainer, for starters. Let's see how the full campaign goes. One thing's for certain: Tories 100% DO NOT get my vote.

Well we know he has difficulty in describing a woman . Wonder what he describes his wife as ?
We know that Starmer doesn't know what a woman is.
“If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it.”
I was a remainer and I still believe it would have been the right desision. However, that is no longer on the table.. even if the nation fully wanted to. So, now given the position the Conservatives have put us in, we have to make the best of it... Does that make me "Rootless" or Practical? ....Right now, Keir Starmer fills me with hope
And you are why there will never be any hope
The Conservatives are still in government because the opposition are inept, have a poor record in any type of government and can’t be trusted!
starmer has got malice in heart.
it is one of his instruments.
Labour is nothing but an anchor for the conservatives to keep them from doing what they want their literal whole view point is to disagree with the conservatives the only reason they have a chance at winning the election is because the conservatives are about as unified as my family on New Year’s Eve Labour need to have their own vision and thought for the future and even agree with some of the things the conservatives have been saying on things like immigration they do that they can smoke them by a landslide but starmer just seems like an empty vessel no ideas no vision just pushes against the conservatives just for the sake of it

Like him or not etc Sir K. Starmer is leader of a Team of Labour M.P's whom for too long have been out in the wildness, now needing the drive to get the Country off its knees for a new, brighter, better, prosperous times for the UK's etc future.
You have spoken well Hub
Labour have thoroughly deserved to be out in the wilderness. Can you imagine a Government which had Diane Abbott in charge of the Home Office, and a Communist in no.10? The wokerati who run Labour now will win only because everyone is sick of the Tories, and the FPTP voting system. The media have declared that Starmer must be PM, this video is just another BBC puff piece for Labour.
All he needs is a plan to lead the country. Precise plan, not just big words. You can't promise to solve all the problems without considering how to fund your policies.

Time would be well-spent building a more social-democratic and less woke, electable opposition. I get the impression Starmer is only there to help the Tories get through to the run-up to the next election, when the main media will be on-call to help them. Even if the Tories were to fail, a Blue Labour Starmer would certainly be no true opposition to the status quo.
