Conservatives were getting too cruel and i think people snapped in end and voted labour because they were so sick of the tories....
They’re going to be kicking theirselves soon then.
@TG-ts3xn whoever got in would of been the same because they all promise this and that and don't stick to it so we'd of been doomed either way
Except…. More people voted for Conservative and Reform combined than voted for Labour, yet we have an overwhelming Labour government. Labour won because the electoral system is not fit for purpose.
Thanks to a two - party electoral system.
@@iamchilibeef5379 Except.... what happens if you combine Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens?
Their entire campaign was just pointing out how cartoonishly evil the Tories were.
If they can catch Boris and hold him upside down until he drops enough coin for the NHS that'll be a start.
Boris has dropped a lot of things over the years, like his dignity and self-respect. But he's never been known to drop a single coin.
he seems desperate for explaining the gravity of the moment to his comrades. the responsibility they attracted on their shoulder is immense
@@RafaelW8keir smeller dropped the deodorant and hasn’t picked it up in 7 year!
how are they cartoonishly evil my grandad died after waiting 14 hour for an ambulance - i would say that was atually evil tbh - as it was due to nhs cuts after covid when he had a heart attack - yet boris could afford to spend tax payer money on lavish home improvements and fictitious bridges and building sites that were funded and never built
Prime example of protest vote. Enjoy your 4 yrs...... maybe 😂
He’s said a lot without saying anything at all.
They always do
No surprise there. I didn't even bother watching the video. Just reading the comments.
"without saying anything at all" - what would YOU have said if you were there instead? I'm just curious.
Yes Paul great observation mate
labour always talk and only act in their financial benefit!
How is Labour any different from the Tories. So sick of the 2 party system.
That would be real reform.
There’s no difference. Just an illusion that the people have a choice. They both funded and report to the same person
They are more parties tho....
@@MrHowlforever*There
And have we seen more than those two parties hold power? Have we seen any party not named Labour or Conservative be named the Main Opposition?
It’s a de facto 2 party system.
@@Dindoes Who?
200 seat majority with 34% of the vote.
The first past, the post system needs to change.
And that's only 34% of the people who did vote. It's 20% of everyone (who is eligible to vote). Only 1 in 5 people wanted this...
This is why the uniparty don’t want PR.
It will probably never change
Yes. Our system is an absolute farce.
@@alexhanson6577If you choose not to vote, you don't get to complain.

Hello there Boris Johnson fan.
The Tories were abysmally greedy and incompetent.
@@rockykoast7065 They certainly are and Labour won't be any different
*in effect
Take a shot every time he says “changed Labour Party”
I did... I am absolutely steaming mate.
Can I ask you a question please cause I'm a little vague on this topic? Would you happen to know at all if Starmer has changed the party? It would have been helpful if he'd given this matter some air time.
@@alexhanson6577he changed it into the conservative party
I mean to be fair he was intentionally repeating it as a rhetorical device.
@@alexhanson6577 The list is long, but let me give you a couple of items on it.
The changed Labour party will give staunch support to Ukraine against Putin's imperialism and war crimes.
The changed Labour party will respect the report of the Equality and Human Rights Commission on antisemitism.

I imagine this surge in popularity is going to be very short lived.
You will be right on this one England is lost all hope
They haven't had a surge in popularity, they only had 1.3% more votes than last time. The problem is that the Conservative vote has crashed and gone to reform, who had a massive surge in popularity.
@@blowaraspberry380 you're right, it's looking more like an anti-conservative vote than a pro-labour one

@@iiomqitsmorgz Not 2029. They could generally become the main opposition by then. But they are far from ready in regards to forming a government that could run a country, let's be honest.
The manifesto is soo marginal. High tax payers are leaving the country, property prices too high, lack of investment, brexit, etc. they don’t address so many issues.
They won't be doing anything in their manifesto.
Blair went way further than his manifesto.
Cameron et al did the same.
Starmer will do the same.
They are the same party. People keep using the 1940's distinctions between the parties and are copying their household pattern.
Both major parties are the same. Demonstrably.
Reform '29.
How utterly disappointed we are all going to be!

Well let's see. Give the man a chance
No hope for the most vulnerable and down trodden among us. He is lying. Their lives will just get worse under Starmer.
It was actually the Tories election loss, not a liebour victory....
Well, that was a lot of words without saying anything.
Sounds like Trudeau here in what used to be Canada. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Other than saying he is there to serve the UK and he is boring. Two massive differences from the Tories...
Not even a word of his plan
Nothing is going to change. All are establishment people.
These guys win by default haha - it's easy when your competition is so incompetent
Saying this as they announce CORBYN BEAT LABOUR AS AN INDEPENDENT
The fact that a few independents won seats is far more impressive, especially considering it was against Labour. Corbyn is a force to be reckoned with and I hope next election more people like him stand and win.
If voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let us vote!

@@RachelObrien-vf3vwI was drinking and partying as well. In factvi know loads of folk that were. Even Labour goons.
"Don't forget how we got here"? He already has. Scotland aside, Labour's share of the vote has *reduced*. He's PM only because so many fed up tory voters went Reform in protest... they didn't vote FOR Labour, they voted AGAINST Conservative... Starmer deserves no credit for that.
Pretty painful listening to rhetoric applauded - will he actually do anything decent 🤷♂️🤷♂️
No he'll sell us out to the EU again and give away our country to anyone who can get here illegally.
Decent? For the non English probably
Liar liar, pants on fire

It’s great news! Sunak betrayed his party with such arrogance when he called an early election without consulting his party and wider advisers ! Huge mistake, but we wanted a change anyhow…

I'm disappointed that so many people voted for labour
I'm glad the Tories are out - but Starmer's Labour absolutely did not deserve to win.
We promise this, we promise that. Lets see how much of these empty promises they actually deliver. He surely couldn't worse than Boris Johnson surely.
100 days that’s how long labour have before civil uprising
You're far too optimistic
All the reform bots being salty in the comments
Change begins now? Really? REALLY???
NOTHING would make me happier, Keir.
But I'll believe it when I SEE it !
And you're going to have to work fast, because not all of us have that long left to get any benefit.
Now please, please, please protect and fight for us who work hard to provide for our families.
😂 How disappointed you’re going to be
Congratulations, Starmer. But I can't enjoy the moment as much as you suggest.
You are inheriting the most terrible financial mess. I only hope the electorate will have patience as you grapple with it.
So... does this mean im gonna get less hours or less money per hour?
Keir doesn't even know what "change" he's talking about
He’s just happy he’s in the limelight
How much is left in the treasury
i suppose you want another year torys that have wasted 14 years promising "chnage"
@@snippy0 well your supposition is wrong
Omg did you come up with that line all on your own 😅
Congratulations Labour force … long live
Hope he can uphold the promises since they were not in power for 14 years.
The only one I can see him doing is betraying the British people and selling us back to the EU so he can retire rich.
A lot of bitter comments on here. But the votes speak for themselves
Labour only got 35% of the popular vote so I agree they do speak for themselves
He means the media did it.
We’re phucked
How?
Currently after the last decade plus change of useless corrupt leadership? Yep
@ラジャン GDP growth doesn't mean very much if its not distributed in a meaningful way. Wealth and income inequality is the issue.

What a load of waffle. Didn’t address a single issue directly.
Read the manifesto. Lazy 😊
Very strange to expect detailed issue resolution in a victory speech
Don't cry. Your party might get in next time
That's the LibLabCon for you.
@@darrenjoseph4005 stop the conservative chaos 😂. I’m sorry I have read it and it’s a cop out. No difference between that and the sum up being his ‘victory speech’. A brief description of why labour will be better than conservative and not a descriptive plan of what actions are going to give what solutions. Very weak and ignorant of the British people to be in denial of our real issues and to not actually listen to farage and his ability to consistently predict what future outcomes will be using a great skill that a lot of people have lost COMMON SENSE!
Dear England my deepest condolences 🕊️
Is winning by default really a win? 🤔
They won due to how comically bad the tories became, rather than anything they did particularly great themselves.
You could equally argue that the Conservatives only got in before due to perceived weaker Labour leadership though.
@@linaj63 Probably so, yes. Our two party political system is awful. There is a perceived choice. The options are: do you want red garbage or blue garbage.
@@sonictelephone1526Yes, unfortunately I agree.
Be ready to get hit hard with high taxes and a sold of NHS. Thanks, Labour supporters.
The NHS was founded under Labour. The NHS was built on immigration through Windrush. They aren’t going to sell it. I’m pleased they will tax those who play the system. There’s too much ‘me me me’ in this country and people need to stop being so greedy.
First time seeing the change and new face (Keir ⭐️Mer) in my life time 👍😊.
Do not offer UK close ties with EU , its time that we teach a country a lesson for leaving EU. UK shall be made an example of this.
Which of the original Eu members would actually stay in it at this point if it wasn’t so catastrophic to leave it, name one?
Did what, easiest victory ever
Congratulations on picking the uni party, I’ll give it 3-6 months before labour voters realise nothing will change and it’s only gonna get worse. The same things they complained about for the last 14 years will not get any better.
Here’s to hoping they don’t get worse at least
Absolutely this, this country is f**ked. We got 1 more election before we end up like China or worse…
@@Chiratalg oh it will, just look at how much earlier labour would have gone into lockdown, imagine how bad the economy would be now, as if it isn’t bad enough.
This country is dead, it’s only going to get worse!
My comments keep getting removed, maybe I’m speaking the truth! We got one more election left before we end up like China… or worse.
Well Kier, with Le Pen seemingly inevitably coming to power in France you might want to have a chat with Nigel and have a re-think on how you are going to stop the boats.

Oh look! It's 5 more years of this country circling the toilet bowl before disappearing down the bog.
This country's tucked bye bye small business and money

@@Llkolii Did this happen last time Labour were in power?
Fantastic day for 🇬🇧 at last the Tories are gone.
Ah yes because small businesses have done so well under the tories... Brexit, destruction of the high street, increasing inequality and focus on the mega rich.

To be fair he can't do any worse, anyone that thinks the tories have done right by this country are just lying to themselves.
He can do worse and will. The Tory's are terrible but he is worse. People are just voting labour, as they are tired if the Tory's - that doesn't mean labour will be any better. Starmer was part of the Haldane society which had sympathies with the former soviet union. This party is very hard left.

it wasn't down to starmer, the tories did all the hard work to elect starmers likud party
I get that everyone hates Rishi, but I am quite sure elections are fixed, Starmer has zero appeal and I don't know one single person who likes him! I really don't!
Nobody like starmer but everyone hates the Tories
See, the problem is that elections aren't meant to be a popularity contest. You're voting for their policies, not an individual. People seem to have forgotten this over the years, which is why we've been stuck with the bleedin' Tories for so long.
Historically, we've always performed better under Labour governments while Tories have been full of austerity, corruption and dare I say it "Brexit". Whether that continues with this Labour govt remains to be seen, but anything is better than the conservatives at this point. They've already done enough damage.
@@Crystan the countries not historically donr better under labour. I am curious to see how it goes this time. But usually there is a bump in people's happiness. But unfortunately that is usually short lasting because it's usually caused from reckless spending/borrowing. Every time labour has been in the country has gotten worse debt. Once the the debt gets bad enough Conservatives get back in. The tax the life out of us to pay back a small part of the debt. Neither party is worth voting for
@@Crystan historically? 😂😂😂 they've been in charge like 3 times and last time they were. They sent us to war. And bankrupted the country bailing the bankers out.
They might not like him, what they do like however is their own idea of voting using anti-Tory sentiment and that will fix the country, it won’t.
I rarely say this type of stuff because I don’t like being “mean” to be honest.
But, this guy creeps me the f out.
This guy is not a nice person. I get the heebie jeebies listening to him and looking at him.
Super super super creepy

You didn't find Truss, Johnson and Sunak creepy? They're ghouls!
At least he is better than Boris Johnson and Pishi Poonak.
Savilles mate? Wonder why.

Davos. World economic forum. High taxes. Even more immigration. A fast track to the bottom. Saying farewell to the amazing Britain I knew. Oh and yes I’m the son of an immigrants who legally migrated in the 80’s.
And the tories havnt already put the country in despair. Take a look around. Cost of everything has doubled in a few years
But dont forget he Quote F-king Hates Liverpool. Unquote.
Why people you know there more than two parties right? Did he even say anything in this speech?
Final nail in the coffin….😢
Not sure this makes ANY difference for the working / lower middle class here across the UK. This is all about the rich and all their mates and friends off-camera. Lambs to the slaughter every single time. Tick a box when we say and then pay your Council Tax.
Unlike Sunak's speech I didn't hear him state "integrity" because with Starmer it's through him like seaside destinations have their names through sticks of rock!😂
FANTASTIC Now we have a PM made from Lego!
