Thought most MPs were 'part time'. They certainly have very well paid 'second' jobs that they do in their 'spare' time.
Great point.
Some of them have more than 1 part time job, that's why Mogg has to nap on the HoC benches. Maybe that's in the Tory manifesto MPs with 2nd or 3rd jobs are allowed nap times, we should all ask our employers for that in our contracts.
Nothing to do with Judaism. Attacking a politician for sustaining his or her family, and their religious and cultural practices, is contemptible.
doesn't matter to Sunak he's Hindu
Rich kids that go to boarding school dont understand the importance of family time. They all get sent away to become another rich puppet.
I am confused... Keir Starmer went to the private schoool, so do you mean him?
@@jelenaa9838 boarding school, and upon research his school was a public school that turned into a private school whilst he was there.
@@jelenaa9838 he went to a grammar school that was turned into a private school while there. But he said it was still the same until a few years ago when it got more elitist
@@roseanncampbell3168 It was still the same because local council paid for him! I saw the interview and he brushed the question as it is a sticky point for him. Truth is that he studied in a private school.
The whole Conservative Party is a disgrace
He calls Starmer a part time PM Sunak was never a PM but now Sunak objects to a father spending time with his family
UK is over under Labour
Labour is no better
@@lj6079as no how do you know that have you seen them in government
Tories and Reform are pathetic and desperate
@@paulchadwick9419 I've seen labour in government. When did you see reform in government
Sunak is an absolute disgrace
Sunak is lowest of low!
Imagine if someone within labour said the same first. Conservatives would be screaming antisemitism
They are Coke and Pepsi.
Oh you bet they would
Just look at Sunak's record... Leaving the D-Day ceremony says all we need to know about this crook Sunak.
Sunak will be raging when he finds out the leader of the SNP goes to church on Sundays.
Like a human.
Yeah but what does the SNP actually do
@@gibbo822 Google my man, it’s really good for quickly finding things like that out.
Ritchie Sunak's biggest lie to Britain;
"Government integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level" -
25/10/22 outside number 10.
'No no no!' said Boris. 'You don't spend time with your family on a Friday night! You sneak off on a Friday night and start a new family!'
You are deflecting from starmer
It's nothing to do with Boris.
@@snowyowel7961Starmer had kept his Jewish family very quiet and his wife away from the public in order not to alienate a specific minority group he is courting for support.
The way he hides his Jewish family background is disingenuous.
@@snowyowel7961there's nothing to deflect from starmer. He was right in what he said.
@@junehitchcock170Hides?
@@snowyowel7961Deflecting from?
Streeting is right, I don't know why GMB are trying to press it so hard, the question is ridiculous. It's not antisemitism, it's political and desperate.
There is an almost obsessive interest in people being offended over just about anything on GMB
It is tiresome and not very good journalism imo.
The tories cannot get any lower than the snakes belly they are...
I’d rather a PM spend time with his family
Than go around posing for opportunistic photos / clips of them breaking laws, acting like they know how to fill up a car, and a card payment reader…
Throwing on a high viz..
Pretending…
What would you rather your family member spends their time doing?
Creating memories around a family table.. with a religious tradition tied to it.
Or pretending in an attempts to fool people..
Yeah. Like Truss posing in a tank. That was really helpful and a good use of her time, wasn't it?
@@TrevorBarreshe was removed by the media that should scare you
and yet Sunak once said in an interview that the main thing he admired about Starmer was that he was a family man. This s*** aint selling either rich Tory boy.
It’s a stretch to suggest that criticism of KS’s family Friday night reservation is racist. But it is desperate of RS to criticise the man for keeping a night free for his family and their traditions.
Thank god for a bit of common sense.
Starmer said you could cut off electricity in hospital, food and water to gazan kids. And the media show more outrage at this.
Working with talent across different parties....grown up politics. This is in stark contrast to the petty, vindictive, self-serving politics of the current government. Please vote tactically and get rid of the this horrible government.
The little hat club criticising someone, cor!, thats "rare"
People using food banks nhs knackered..who cares about about Jewish holidays
Jews maybe?
Only 2 more days of this mud slinging to go. I'm amazed at Sunak who is a Hindu that he doesn't have more respect for another religion. They do say that religion is responsible for more deaths than any amount of conflict.
I think Hindu religious leaders will be very embarrassed that Rishie Two Fines claims to be one of them, he is not. He believes in no gawd or gawds, to do so would put another being/beings above him in importance, that is unacceptable for a narcissist. Gawds serve narcissists, that's their only purpose to people like Two Fines.
So if he doesn't believe in gawwd, then why him and Akshayta visited the Cow Sanctuary and bowed to the holy cow.
Perhaps he was tired of asking Sueallen over to No 10 so he could bow to her 😅😅
@@user-vb5ow2st5g
My Grandmother, a devout Anglican Christian who went to every service, morning and evensong, lived by one saying of her own making: "There are more evil people inside the church than outside the church". Very few politicians are people of faith, they use religion for their own ends. Everything Rishie Two Fines does flies in the face of all religions, including Hinduism. It's all for show, to present an image of being good. The good don't need to present an image, and in the case of Christianity shouldn't even be praying if they are not alone, according to Jebus you should pray alone and in private with nobody able to overhear you. Following Jebus' actual teachings would be very bad for church finances.
Who says Rishni doesn't believe in a gawd? He does and his gawd exists. $$$
Tories want to question Starmers work ethic.Boris Jonhnson, as PM skipped x6 COBRA meetings to finish writing a book (on Churchill) that a publisher had paid him, advances for!
Sunak is a racist as well as a xenophobe. He's shown his far-right colours again and again.
Just like Preeti Patel and Suella Braverman. What is the common thread here? Maybe they don’t like what they see in the mirror.
Please can Thursday be tomorrow😂. Torys will have alots of time free on Fridays going forward😅
I thought Sir Kier Starmer had taken a strange position in regards to the genocide in Palestine
He's suspended members left right and centre for sod all on the anti semetism front and turned a blind eye to all other forms racism.
Take off the tin foil
But by every standard of warfare, Israel is NOT committing Genocide..
his wife is powerful zionist
@@501057ableWhy was the ICJ ruling that in this case genocide was a plausible conclusion and therefore ongoing consideration was necessary rather than the dismissal requested by Israel?
Boris Johnson took time off to write his book or lose his publishing deal. Where was the outrage then
well done wes for calling them out
where has this been all these years
The Tories in the end of times.
Good that he showed respect for Ed Davey
I'm not generally much of a fan of Wes at the best of times, but he's right. He should be there talking about what policy's he wants to implement, he's said as much here that that's what he wants to be doing.
But he's instead having to defend the leader of his party against what is clearly just an attack on how he and his wife run family life. What bearing that has on anything politically I've no idea.
It's a constant the Conservatives go to when they have NOTHING other than that to rely on!
They REALLY don't have anything other than trying to inject fear into voters and I mean not a thing! If a political party is solely reliant on paranoia to get votes, you NEED to worry as that's the sort of thing the Nazi's relied on.
Nobody will be better off who ever gets in except the people who get in
He did not say "won't work" - he said "we’ll try to keep to it" " pretty well come what may. There are a few exceptions, but that’s what we do."
Now we know why he wouldnt help the innocent women, babies an children when they are being slaughtered.
I think that most politicians behave like childish adolescents. Kier Starmer, didn’t need to say that he went home at 6 pm on Friday evenings. It wasn’t the wisest thing to say, particularly leading up to a general election. Surely he should’ve realised that the media would jump on it.
Rishi Sunak fell for the trap, hook line and sinker again! Starmer pulled a blinder again. 😄
Bravo, well said Wes Streeting, top to bottom on every question put to him.
100 percent!
So much for the party of conservatism, British and good ol' family values.
What an absolute joke.
Iam from India and we have Jewish communities living here peacefully. We accept all as our brothers.he will rise to the occasion. Don't fall for misleading eyewashes and traps
It would be nice if Jacob rees-mogg done one day's work a week😅😅
Calling Kier Stammer, if he becomes Prime Minister a part time Prime minister is crazy.
When are the Jewish community not offended? Is there any action which does not offend these people?
It's the same with Muslims too, having Friday off, is it only Christians that have Sunday off?
I'm an atheist. I take all seven days off!
Muslims only need to pray at mosques on Friday it doesn’t mean they take the day off shops business etc are all open
I have no love for Sunack but this is not Antisemitism .cut the carap please
Jeez everything is antisemitism. Its exhausting
You saying that antisemitism is exhausting is antisemitic you know.
I religiously watch TV 7 nights a week. If I was PM, should I be able to clock off at 6pm to watch the TV for 9 hours before bed at 3am?
Incredible statement by Starmer and Streeting ! Don,t you think the majority of British Working people would love to set aside a Friday night or any night of the week to spend quality time with their family,s ! Sir Keir Starmer is going to be the UK,s Prime Minister and he is actually already informing the electorate on his planned weekly holidays ? Due to his wife,s religion ? Not his ? Time for you all to wake up ! All Prime Ministers have to be available at any given time ! Sir Keir Starmer has read the job description ? This is not the Judiciary where the Courts shut by 4 pm on a Friday ? Good luck Britain !
What about the average dad working 11 hours aday unable to clock off at 6pm.
Starmer's leadership bid was heavily funded by an Israeli businessman. Starmer's Labour Party is dominated by groups with direct links to that country. Most of Labour's front bench are members of Labour Friends of Israel. Labour's candidate in Durham North is a lobbyist who works for the state of Israel. One Labour MP is married to a former IDF soldier. Another former IDF soldier runs Labour's cyber security office. The head of the Board of Deputies recently joined the Labour Party in a symbolic gesture of support having slated the previous Labour regime as being endemically anti-semitic. Now apparently the 'Jewish community' are critical of Sunak. Do you think the Israelis are trying to tell us something with regard to how we should vote on Thursday?
What do you want, they got battered for years for being anti-Semitic, now this, you can't be objective about Israel, it's not allowed.
and the Tories are for Palestine and human rights? Vote Labour and then deal with foreign enemies like Russian controlled Tories and Reform
Jews living in your head rent free
Interesting. Jews people in politics. What next.
Fantastic responses from Wes Streeting, more interviewers should be called out on their priority of questions!
Tories on a Friday........WINE !
I'm sitting up all Friday night with a bottle of Scotch, I wouldn't miss this for the World. Must remember the popcorn before the shortages kick in though.
Also:
Tories this Friday: Whine, whine, whine.
@@darthwiizius yes got the munchies sorted 👌.
@@melgrant7404 👍
The bots are out in force in these comments. Pitiful
If the PM wife is jewish, is that not like conflict of interest towards the huge political issue with palestine? do not take that badly plesae. I do not have any resentment against anybody but I am genuinely asking myself this question...
The labour Has Magician In sir kir starmer Who is Gonna Solve Every thing 😂😂😂
Well, his mate fixed it for everyone did'nt he?
Mr. Starmers friday night with family not a problem. Wes Streetings take on privatisation of NHS very big problem
If this is all the tories have it shows how desperate they are
Have the tories forgot about Boris missing important meetings
Rabb on his subbed
Rishi and the DDay celebrations
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kier Starmer finishing work on a Friday evening at 18.00, we need someone of faith leading this country. let`s not forget that Christianity came out of the Jewish religion
The next party that comes in will have to mop up all the ahit the Tories have done. Will that even be possible?! The state theyve left this country in is appalling.
ahh, in line with liam fox's comments a several years ago.. "some members of the business community are lazy and should work on fridays"
Good morning tv, check with sunak if he knew who worked for Britain in Kenya whilst he trained mau-mau guerillas and had close links to a fascist group responsible for ghandi’s death
More than one occasion, my mum was left in hospital because the care team cancelled the care package one of these occasions she was stuck in the hospital cleanly for two weeks longer than she needed to be in there why I tried to track down another care team to deal with my mum needs if this happened to my mum, how many other patients have experienced the same problem
I am not surprised the good morninf britian is making an issue of nothing
Headline: Man spends time with family🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They say anything to stop people voting for them.😊
How is it antisemitism?? For us Muslims, Friday is special. But most people cannot make it to the congregational prayers at the Mosque on Fridays due to work. Do we now say that’s Islamophobia?
Criticising you for "finishing early" in order to observe your religious routine or whatever, and suggesting that you cant do the job properly because of that would be islamophobic. that's the point
Kid Starver is required to observe jewish religious norms ..... how very interesting.
Not required,he chooses to,.So what he is married to a Jewish woman.I admire his family values and family support.
funny how you never hear about backlashing this fervently from other minorities without the influence of the main minority. isnt that fascinatin
Both parties are cockhold of Israel. 😅
Boot's on the other foot. Who's the anti Semitic party now?
Wes Streeting in PM material, one day….
In all fairness, it's not the job of each party's candidate to advertise & promote your opponent, your rival. So, R.Sunak put emphasis on his office hours & working style: I (Rishi) am ready & willing to work 24/7 for you, the British people, in stark contrast to K.Starmer's approach to the top job, Friday evening is family time.
On a side note, K.Starmer's wife & his 95 yrs.old father-in-law are not jews, the emphasis was put on religious-affiliation, they're just religious people; the religions happens to be Judasism, that's it, in a nutshell. That’s what is possible for to infer from the ITV coverage (no insider’s info apart from that).❤
remember when camerons mrs complained about not being able to go out on friday nights..?? it was a news broadcast in 2010 or 2011.
Typical low rank guy, not a PM.
It was a set up by Kier starmer to get a responce that will make head lines and yiu all fell for it , if yiu are PM which Kier will be you know you are st work 7 days a week 24 hours a day thsts the job
What do you expect from the tories.
Let’s have more support for those who want to make their religious observances by not working.
Working "class" (why do we still have such a mediaval hierarchy in place branding group of people into classes?) people should see the real message behind the lines here: more work, less free time for you, according to the Tories. With them in power, good luck not loosing even more worker's rights and not getting even worse work-life balance than what it already is.
Lol. Wife has Jewish heritage and Labour wants to support palestine
We're there photo ID
sadly employed carers are not yet care professionals, until there is a national valid training structure
Vote Labour for continued mass uncontrolled immigration, higher taxes, woke ideology , or be like me , all my friends and millions of people who want REFORM, Vote REFORM for PEACE, PROSPERITY, STABILITY, HOPE and FREEDOM and especially for your children
I believe in equality and I respect Jewish religion 🙏❤️
Investigate ppe contracts, NOW.
Conservatives … more interested in pronouns…took my vote away…Reform!
Can't stand Suzanna 😂😂
It's hard to understand the long winded questions.
Agree there should be an apology but why didn't Starmer defend Sunak Reform candidate comment re racist comment recently?
Laura why are you ignoring reality in your post? What do you gain from the misinformation?
oh my God...ed daveys son grabbed him by the nose as i sometimes did with my Grandfather that -I took care of, till he died 30days away from 96...it was so funny because i made opa make some grounting noise....and we laughed so much... imiss you opa so much RIP...see you in heaven Bertie
Nothing about Wes streetings boyfriend being given a safe labour seat,????
Yawn, getting desperate now aren’t we?
@LeeKelly-dj4rf it's true though.
@jake751 and a non issue.
“in the Lord God’s hand comes escape from death.”
Both as bad as each other...
The Labour Party this week said they’re going to deport Bangladeshis eventhough there are 3 British bengali MPs in the party no apologies for that but Sunak should apologise for saying a PM should focus on there role
He said that as far as asylum seeker returns were concerned, Bangladesh was a safe country and that Bangladesh has a returns agreement with the UK. So if people came here illegally they would sent back. Certainly not if they are British born. Please do your research
What a parrot Streeting is, says the same lines no matter what the questions are.
National care services, so the full time carers pay might be increased from nothing to what and what about the claw back tax chasing debacle ?
Sunak just have to go steals money
Failing GMB
tories antisemitic ??? perish the thought….
We can all look forward for the return of Blair when Labour get in 😢
Bit like Tories bringing unelected Cameron back then 😢
@@richardmerriman4347 sorry, that’s what I meant .
Sunak is low.
Pathetic tories?
Do Tories have a problem with Starmer wanting to share Shabbat dinner with his family on Friday evenings? Starmer's wife is of Jewish heritage. Surely, if there was a national emergency, Starmer would attend to the emergency and forgo Shabbat on that occasion of an emergency.
i miss Corbyn wouldnt be any of this mess
If ministers were always hard at work, partygate could not have happened. But apparently Starmer is the devil incarnate for seeking to reserve a few hours a week for family.
