- The Takeaway is a new kind of political interview for the UK General Election 2024.
Over a takeaway of their choice, candidates in the UK General Election tell The News Movement why they deserve your vote.
We sat down with Darren Jones, the Labour candidate for Bristol North West and Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, over a flat white and a vegan chickpea and spinach quiche to discuss the political betting scandal, why Jeremy Corbyn being Labour leader made him consider quitting as a candidate, and why it will cost hundreds of billions of pounds to achieve net zero.
Oh, and he treated us to a saxophone solo as well. - Розваги
I really like Darren Jones. He has to be one of my favourite new MPs
He cuts across the BS!!!!
He has taken over £80,000 in donations from big business.
he's not new
Same here he would be a great PM
Rising star - hugely charismatic and likeable, extremely able and intelligent, quick witted, devastating in committee and holding people to account.
He's very impressive
Darren jones can be pm one day
I would be very happy to vote for this chap.
I once did. I would be voting for him today because he has taken over £80,000 in donations from big business in recent months.
Darren is the sort of person who will bring back respectability into politics. He has shown himself to be a true servant of the people, asking telling questions that need to be asked in the committees he has been involved in and a thoroughly likeable person, one that you feel will always have your back - the antithesis of what we have been used to under this Tory government.
He isn’t respectable. He has taken over £80,000 in donations from bug business in recent months.
Darren Jones, what a breath of fresh air. He grew up in the same part of Bristol as me, Lawrence Weston aka L Dub. It's a run down and neglected area with a lot of poverty. He might sound posh but he's actually very down to earth. I'd like to see him become PM in the future.
Don't care whether he is Labour, Conservative or other, this is the model for an honest politician. Can there be such a person?
I really respect this guy, he’s a phenomenal politician 😊
Darren I look forward to your time in office, I wish more politicians like him.
He has taken £80,000 in donations from big business in recent months.
It’s a brave politician that will eat on camera. Darren is definitely one to watch for the future.
This guy will be a Labour PM someday. Talented, intelligent and honest. What a breath of fresh air considering what we have had to put up with for the last 14 years, but it wont be long now..... Bye bye tories, hopefully for good!
No. REFORM will be in power in 2029. This man will be out. Can't even watch or stomach the Labour party. You are a discrace to this country even considering voting these people in. VOTE REFORM to close the borders, have an NHS insurance policy and end the mass of students at university. We must de0fund the universities in favour of trades. REFORM for governent in 2029
@@lawrenceabbott5292 I can do you a good deal on shirts, what do want? Black or brown? Can also get hold of jack boots. But cash only £, not roubles please.
@@lawrenceabbott5292No Lawrence, you are the disgrace.
Charismatic because he’s honest and real. I just like him.
No he isn’t.
He seems such a nice honest likable man.
Darren Jones is great, his frankness is so refreshing. I can easily see him being leader at some point.
Breath of fresh air this lad, at last an MP that gives me a smidge of hope.
He has taken over £80,000 in donations from big business in recent months, he doesn’t turn up to hustings events and he has done basically nothing for his constituents.
What a breath of fresh air.
An actual human that is a politician as well. Might be hope after all.
Well done all, enjoyed that.
Legend
Can't say this about many politicians, but I like this guy
What a real guy ! Make this guy your PM ! The world would be a better place
He's great!
What a clear thinking person.
Lovely clever Labour man. Destroyer at the Post Office enquiries. I don't know how to bet either. x
Love him, what a dude.
Cpuld not like this chap more if I tried.
He is, in some ways, a little 'outside of time', dare i say it, with a whiff of the Mogg - aka 'Steampunk C3P0'.
Unlike Mogg however, he comes across so genuinely, and with such positive, considerate sincerity, he is impossible not to like.
Possible future PM?
I really like Darren Jones
Darren's my MP, I disagree with him on a number of things but I still vote for him because he's overall a good egg. Clearly on a tight leash these days but that tactic appears to be working (tomorrow will tell I suppose!)
Chicken shop date for champagne socialists! Though I find Darren both likeable and refreshingly forthcoming.
Ok Billy 😂
What a decent man looks good for country
Darren Jones,
The only man in politics brave enough to honestly answer "yes" when everyone else would obfuscate,
Then proceed to completely own it and justify why he's right without batting an eyelid,
All whilst being overall a pleasant and funny bloke.
Is this real life? What's the catch
No interest in politics…….but the way Darren jones handled the Royal Mail ceo,s was epic! A totally likeable guy……I’d vote for him if he was in my town.
Wow!
Will make an excellent Cabinet minister
Darren is brilliant x
I like him.
Even when you don't agree with him, you feel like the mistake it yours not his!
The man's a total star!
I LOVE THIS MAN
I'm moving to wherever he is so I can vote for him.
Future Labour Prime Minister
Putting his comments about Corbyn to one side, I think he's great.
i really wanted corbyn to succeed, but I'm really happy with keir, back to representing the modern iteration of workers with centre left politics. one day corbyn type politics will be maim stream, but we're still hooked on thatcher economics!
@@shaun906 center left politics? There's nothing left wing about Keir Starmer's labour
His comments on Corbyn were exactly right in my book.
His comments on Corbyn were correct.
I like everything about him - apart from the way he holds his knife
What a bizarre suggestion for Animal Hospital?
Brilliant
FUTURE PM.
It seems what you see is what you get with him
What is the name of the cafe?
It's the Ardagh on Horfield Common
@@NecroMorrius Thank you!
What ever for.
Wait till reform gets seats
cant think of a single tory mp better in any way at all.
Sax to be you, Tories
Risking an Ed Miliband moment! Could have ruined everything!
More people voted for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour than Keir Starmer’s Labour so he’s wrong. 😂
I still like him though.
Thank you, saved me typing that. Starmer didn’t beat the Tories, they beat themselves by becoming worse every single day until the public had enough and said no more. If the PLP hadn’t made every attempt to break Corbyn he would have been PM in 2017.
@@anthonydeakin3834 👍
Future leader of the Labour party?
Seems a good guy but totally wrong on Corbyn
Jones has taken over £80,000 in donations from big business in recent months. Including over £30,000 in donations from Arup, who are in involved PPP schemes.
@suburbanyobbo9412 I've just verified that myself. That is concerning but I still have some hope regarding him as an mp. That really shouldn't be allowed.
@@chilldude30 Good to see people checking these things out. Jones is my MP, I am not that impressed. He rarely engages with his constituents, he avoid hustings events, ducking out of a hustings event this election and in the 2019 election.
Also, he is not merely an MP but he is Chief Secretary to the Treasury and cabinet member.
Thought he was great but supporting genocide means he has lost my respect and my vote
Stealing your format from Chicken Shop Date much?
I'm glad you like playing saxophone, so do I, so please refrain from posting videos of you playing saxophone.
Made me laugh on a rainy summer morning.
He’s a fine saxophonist.
Great guy. AWFUL interviewer.
He seems a very genuine individual and quite responsible and informed but I will disagree with him on rejoining the single market and customs union and restoring freedom of movement if we do not do this the country potentially will sink
The concerns he’s raising are legitimate unfortunately. Italy, and Hungary are already far right. France is lurching that way too. Germany is on that path. Fortunately Poland recently pulled back from the right. It’s unclear whether the EU we left will be the same organisation in five years. France has driven policy for decades in the EU, so them being unenthusiastic or even mildly willing to sabotage it is a real risk to the project.
I also think there’s a good reason to wait another five years, as more Brexiteers will die off, and the influence of the right wing press is also dying off.
@@col.hertford9855 yes, it is an ever changing EU leaning towards the right but they should be very concerned for this direction, they need to look at what happened to us with Brexit Farage far right fanatic influencing a right leaning conservative government and the consequences can be disastrous for every day citizens it is alarming but I do have faith in the EU
For waiting another five years, I agree and disagree. Yes we need less mentality of the Brexit teas a lot of them have seen the truth but there are still a fair amount of them. I do believe though for labours long Jeopardy in government they do need to bring economic growth and I just don't see this being possible without being in the single marketing and customs union my fear is they will allow the far right Farage to keep on growing and potentially topple the government
This Labour must not be allowed to stay long in office. This country will return to the right with Sir Nigel as MP in 2029. Vote REFORM VOTE REFORM. What are you expecting from this two-faced Labour party? You are doing this country an injustice not making sure we stay right of centre. Long Live NIgel long live REFORM.
Mire than I expect from a facist party like Reform!
A perfect example of a desperate attempt of Labour trying to be relative. "Caravan Thing".
Vote Reform ✔️🇬🇧🇬🇧
No , go away 😂
😊 No thanks. I hate facism!
