Labour are saying "Country first, party second". The Tories used to say "Money first, money second, money third, and then we break for a spot of lunch".
I used to think Beth Rigby was an objective journalist, but since her interview of the candidates for leadership of the SNP, i now know she has a hidden agenda behind every question,
I didn’t see those interviews myself, what do you think her agenda is? To me, she just comes across as a shitty journalist, the sort you normally see at tabloids.
Most journalists are Tory. The so-called unbiased BBC is packed full of them, I believe that Clive Myrie is a member of the Garrick Club. Laura Kuenssberg makes no bones about it, it's obvious. Her face when the exit poll was announced was precious. The Tory press was neutered by Starmer, no mean feat over 6 weeks.
“Labour don’t do anything, they have no plan!” *Labour immediately start doing things and elucidating/enacting plans* “Do you really have a mandate to do things and enact a plan?”
You're right, and even more right about 3 months and not 100 days. "100 days" comes from the same source as the "supermajority" - cause you're the 51 state of America, or some wish they were.
WHO KNOWS? Maybe a rotten Australian womaniser? Last wedding @ over 90? How comes he didn't have the SUNKS' subscription, ACTUALLY (rishy washy copywrit)?
Omg sounds like we have a decent pm with honesty honour and integrity Let's get on with making this country decent again after 14 years of grift corruption incompetence and lies
honesty??? hahahahah are you serious? The man lies more than women who manipulate men for money....Ive never seen anyone flip flop answers as much as he does.. but time will tell whether he's good or not..
None of these client journalists even attempted to hold one single Tory to task in 14 long years. The minute we've a Labour PM, "What can you concretely promise to accomplish specifically within 100 days precisely?"
Journalism in the uk is extraordinary lame and has been for many years now, especially in the Cameron Osborne austerity when the media was very quiet. Even through the bojo and farage brexit campaign with the media helping with the lies. Time for changing the media and press in the uk. End the lack of credible journalism now.
Different times than Blair, 5 national parties got a significant share of the vote, not 2 or 3 as per usual. Time for a change to the electoral system. If you add up Lib/Lab/Greens you get well over 50% of the public voting for a more progressive country.
Beth Rigby lost any credibility(?) she had during the recent mayoral and by-elections. She seemed to be in a competition with Laura Kuenssberg as to who could parrot the most CCHQ talking points.
I can’t believe what’s happening to her.She’s actually getting worse with her questioning! How ministers don’t lose their tempers with this type of questioning is beyond me,but I suppose you have to show who the better person is.If people remember,the Tories actually boycotted GOOD MORNING BRITAIN for a year during Covid because of the sort of questions that were put to them.Starmer seems to be the type that’ll tough it out instead of listening to advisors who say, ‘Boycott this reporter,or boycott that reporter’.
You are correct my friend. I think Rigby feels that she is being upstaged by Kuenssberg and wanted to get her oar in. LK is an unashamed Tory fan girl and I suspect Beth Rigby is too deep down.
Seeing Laura K's face during the election coverage as the results came in was almost a Portillo moment in itself. She looked like she was trying to swallow a mouth full of live wasps.
I lost any respect for her on the day Johnson resigned when she made a fool of herself. As the press were waiting for him to come out of Number 10 and the staff were gathering, Johnson’s wife appeared and Rigby spent the next few minutes embarrassing herself ‘ooooh, the baybeeee, she’s got the baybeeee, awwww, he baybeeeee’. It was nauseating
It's annoying that Reform managed to end up with 5 MPs. Nige will point to how they got more votes, but I think it is just that Green voters are smarter. They voted Green in large numbers where the Green candidate had a good chance of winning, and voted tactically in other areas.
The Government has changed overnight, but unfortunately it will take far longer for the Right Wing Media! I'm surprised she didn't ask him 'What is your favourite colour? Oh dear.....stick with it Keir!
So, in interviews with any Tory MPs (as at 3rd July) Beth and her colleagues will be asking them: 'How did you feel about the exit polls?' 'What do you think about the collapse of the Tory vote to the far right?' ''How will you reverse this and what are you going to do about it?'
It's great to see Starmer finally be able to behave like himself - instead of carrying that ming vase!! He is intelligent, articulate, authentic - from this life long tory voter, it is music to my ears. This is what politicians and government SHOULD be. The journos better get used to it, and not show up their own stupidity by asking fool questions.
With great respect, I REALLY care about the vote share. I live in Wales. Plaid cymru got 0.7% of the national votes and got 4 seats. The green party got 10 times morw votes and have the same number of seats. I do think it's right to give Labour and the public a reality check that not that many people actually voted them in. Having said that, it's only been a few days but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. Anything will be an improvement over the absolute circus that was the conservative government.
Rigby, like some other so called journalists is now much more concerned with their own image and looking ‘tough’ or clever rather than asking sensible questions.
Believe or not Beth Rigdy's question wasn't the dumbest one Starmer faced at that conference because two so called asked if Starmer was willing to make tough decisions and raise taxes. Both Sky News and the BBC then made articles about this question.
Why is it a dumb question to ask a Labour leader if they are willing to raise taxes? Specifically at a time when public services have been decimated? It's an entirely valid question because spending (and borrowing) is one of the most viable ways of repairing our broken public services. Whereas acting like the NHS and other services can be significantly improved by finding "efficiencies" and relying on non-existent private sector capacity is not a realistic solution.
Come on KS, you've had 3 days now, and you haven't solved anything yet! To quote New Model Army, "Dont ask any more stupid questions you already know the answers to".
The attack lines from the Right are going to be 1) You're not doing very much ("first 100 days" question) and 2) You're cold and controlling ("What did you feel" question). She's not the only Murdoch mouthpiece using them.
This sort of spotlight is better than the narrator's simplistic call for professional journalism. The reality is the right wing media have an agenda, they have a strategy and an objective. No, less than the left wing media, but other than in Russia and China, these are amateur when compared to Murdoch's weaponization of the English speaking world's media. Continue to throw light on them.
Give the man his time to work, it don't matter if it take 100 day or 4 years as long as the results are good for the country and its moving in the right direction, that is what the people care about. Real change takes time and especially cleaning up the sh^tshow the tories have left after 14 years of ripping the UK to bits.
The first 100 days is a US thing. And it is partly based on that after 100 days you already start campaigning again for the mid terms so it is your most effective period. This isn't a thing in the UK. Such a stupid question.
Not only does Beth struggle to ask any party leader sensible questions, barking at them, never letting them give a complete reply and, like Fiona Bruce, pretend not to know what Labour's plans are, she only lets Conservatives talk without questioning or correcting their lies. For someone so well paid, I do wonder why Beth refuses to add a g to ing words.
@@Gordon.Pinkerton She found some old scripts from down the back of a filing cabinet and cobbled together some nonsense as if thinking she could treat Starmer like a child. Asking ridiculous questions as if he were still in opposition.
Labour voter here, who absolutely hates defending Beth Rigby. 1. Voteshare matters because the majority in most of the seats won is wafer-thin. This is also the least democratic election in British history in terms of votes per seat. Turnout is also related to this, and is a serious problem. 2. Actually, quite a lot can be achieved in 100 days, even if it's just the beginnings of something. In 2010 the Conservatives almost immediately put out an emergency budget, and I'd argue that's what's needed here. 3. Simply because Boris wasn't asked certain questions doesn't mean that Starmer shouldn't. There isn't a Standard List of Questions. 4. You should know by now that the priority of this genre of "news" is entertainment first. They care about ratings.
What's one concrete change voters can expect to see within 100 days, Starmer? We are the change!!! 🤣🤣 Hardly a signal of "real change" is it. The rhetoric has changed is all.
They have been loosing under the same rules for 14 years, and now they are expected to apologise for winning under the same rules..

Also it was gratuitous when the Tories did it a few years ago but we need to take back the union flag from the fascists & hooligans
Who are these fascists and hooligans you mention.
The fascists in America took our flag and altered it. Traitors.
A journalist asking stupid questions? Surely not. This has never happened before!!!!
And one that works for Sky to boot!
She’s particularly pathetic , and that slow way of speaking like she’s speaking with depth 😂 like braverman , Mordaunt etc.. all irrelevant
Just like America with Fox. Oh who owns Fox and Sky🤔🤔🤔🤔
WHO KNOWS? Maybe a rotten Australian womaniser? Last wedding @ over 90? How comes he didn't have the SUNKS' subscription, ACTUALLY (rishy washy copywrit)?
Silvester "Sly" Moorcock?
He won't live much longer, but the damage is done. His money will continue to do so
I have full confidence in Starmer.
Did the tories get these questions? I don’t recall that they did.
Omg sounds like we have a decent pm with honesty honour and integrity
Let's get on with making this country decent again after 14 years of grift corruption incompetence and lies
honesty??? hahahahah are you serious? The man lies more than women who manipulate men for money....Ive never seen anyone flip flop answers as much as he does.. but time will tell whether he's good or not..
I didn’t think I had much faith in Starmer but I am quietly confident now.
He seems competent and a potentially great asset for us.
Sorry Beth. You’re making a fool out of yourself.
None of these client journalists even attempted to hold one single Tory to task in 14 long years. The minute we've a Labour PM, "What can you concretely promise to accomplish specifically within 100 days precisely?"
Journalism in the uk is extraordinary lame and has been for many years now, especially in the Cameron Osborne austerity when the media was very quiet.
Even through the bojo and farage brexit campaign with the media helping with the lies. Time for changing the media and press in the uk.
End the lack of credible journalism now.
She's asked worse questions than that
Different times than Blair, 5 national parties got a significant share of the vote, not 2 or 3 as per usual. Time for a change to the electoral system. If you add up Lib/Lab/Greens you get well over 50% of the public voting for a more progressive country.
And that's even with a lot of protest votes going to reform.
Beth Rigby lost any credibility(?) she had during the recent mayoral and by-elections. She seemed to be in a competition with Laura Kuenssberg as to who could parrot the most CCHQ talking points.
I can’t believe what’s happening to her.She’s actually getting worse with her questioning! How ministers don’t lose their tempers with this type of questioning is beyond me,but I suppose you have to show who the better person is.If people remember,the Tories actually boycotted GOOD MORNING BRITAIN for a year during Covid because of the sort of questions that were put to them.Starmer seems to be the type that’ll tough it out instead of listening to advisors who say, ‘Boycott this reporter,or boycott that reporter’.
You are correct my friend. I think Rigby feels that she is being upstaged by Kuenssberg and wanted to get her oar in. LK is an unashamed Tory fan girl and I suspect Beth Rigby is too deep down.
Seeing Laura K's face during the election coverage as the results came in was almost a Portillo moment in itself. She looked like she was trying to swallow a mouth full of live wasps.
I didn't see that but maybe I missed it. I seen her being one of the only ones willing to hammer the tories.
I lost any respect for her on the day Johnson resigned when she made a fool of herself. As the press were waiting for him to come out of Number 10 and the staff were gathering, Johnson’s wife appeared and Rigby spent the next few minutes embarrassing herself ‘ooooh, the baybeeee, she’s got the baybeeee, awwww, he baybeeeee’. It was nauseating
The Conservatives did very little in their 14 years. Why do Labour get 100 days to fix the Conservative mess?
Beth: "Please dig yourself a hole into which we will push you when you fail."
Kier: "No thanks Beth, take your shovel and hand it to Cruella"
Amazing the lack of coverage the greens get compared to Deform UK
It's annoying that Reform managed to end up with 5 MPs. Nige will point to how they got more votes, but I think it is just that Green voters are smarter. They voted Green in large numbers where the Green candidate had a good chance of winning, and voted tactically in other areas.
Greens are an also ran. Not really newsworthy and never have anything to say.
What about Lib Dems? Barely mentioned! They got 14 times more seats!
People care about having adults back in charge, not the juvenile antics of the last 3 prime ministers, enabled by the previous 2.
The Government has changed overnight, but unfortunately it will take far longer for the Right Wing Media! I'm surprised she didn't ask him 'What is your favourite colour? Oh dear.....stick with it Keir!
Most of them had really dumb questions but i have to agree those were far the dumbest. The media in the UK is just ridiculous.
You are quite correct, Max. The Tories never get asked this kind of trite garbage...
I'm warming to Starmer.
Yeah me too.
So, in interviews with any Tory MPs (as at 3rd July) Beth and her colleagues will be asking them:
'How did you feel about the exit polls?'
'What do you think about the collapse of the Tory vote to the far right?'
''How will you reverse this and what are you going to do about it?'
It's great to see Starmer finally be able to behave like himself - instead of carrying that ming vase!! He is intelligent, articulate, authentic - from this life long tory voter, it is music to my ears. This is what politicians and government SHOULD be. The journos better get used to it, and not show up their own stupidity by asking fool questions.
Rigby should know better, poor form indeed.
We now have a grown up government, next we need a grown up media.
Journos have gotten so used to asking dumbed down questions over the last 10yrs. This took them by surprise
Great to have the adults back in charge!
With great respect, I REALLY care about the vote share. I live in Wales. Plaid cymru got 0.7% of the national votes and got 4 seats. The green party got 10 times morw votes and have the same number of seats. I do think it's right to give Labour and the public a reality check that not that many people actually voted them in. Having said that, it's only been a few days but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. Anything will be an improvement over the absolute circus that was the conservative government.
Rigby, like some other so called journalists is now much more concerned with their own image and looking ‘tough’ or clever rather than asking sensible questions.
Believe or not Beth Rigdy's question wasn't the dumbest one Starmer faced at that conference because two so called asked if Starmer was willing to make tough decisions and raise taxes.
Both Sky News and the BBC then made articles about this question.
Why is it a dumb question to ask a Labour leader if they are willing to raise taxes? Specifically at a time when public services have been decimated? It's an entirely valid question because spending (and borrowing) is one of the most viable ways of repairing our broken public services. Whereas acting like the NHS and other services can be significantly improved by finding "efficiencies" and relying on non-existent private sector capacity is not a realistic solution.
No chance, the client media will keep asking questions like "Sir Keir, what is your favourite spoon and is it a woman? If not, what IS a woman?"
Come on KS, you've had 3 days now, and you haven't solved anything yet!
To quote New Model Army, "Dont ask any more stupid questions you already know the answers to".
The attack lines from the Right are going to be 1) You're not doing very much ("first 100 days" question) and 2) You're cold and controlling ("What did you feel" question). She's not the only Murdoch mouthpiece using them.
This sort of spotlight is better than the narrator's simplistic call for professional journalism. The reality is the right wing media have an agenda, they have a strategy and an objective. No, less than the left wing media, but other than in Russia and China, these are amateur when compared to Murdoch's weaponization of the English speaking world's media. Continue to throw light on them.
Beth has her contract of employment to consider, she is not going to be Labour friendly when her employer is Murdock !
Regardless of political preferences, I think 90% of people would agree, competence has finally returned to No.10.
I don't know who's worse - Beth Rigby or Robert Peston both dreadful journalists.
She embarrasses herself in every interview. What a weapon!
I thought he was polite to answer. Her question was so meandering and instantial she looked out of her depth.
Let’s not get complacent of Starmer doing this & turning into people that say “STARMER OWNS SKY NEWS AND DRINKS THEIR TEARS!!”
Give the man his time to work, it don't matter if it take 100 day or 4 years as long as the results are good for the country and its moving in the right direction,
that is what the people care about. Real change takes time and especially cleaning up the sh^tshow the tories have left after 14 years of ripping the UK to bits.
Beth should be sharing a house with laura, Tory cry babies!
Our Media needs Reform!
Don't encourage Nigel !
Was that a deliberate capitalisation? Our media has more than enough Reform in it already. Agree about media reform though.
She's utterly odious and clearly voted for Tory
Sort out the NHS pay dispute. They could do that in 100 days. Get conflict over and start repairing Tory damage.
The first 100 days is a US thing. And it is partly based on that after 100 days you already start campaigning again for the mid terms so it is your most effective period. This isn't a thing in the UK. Such a stupid question.
The 100 days thing comes from America. For some reason, they think that doing things in a mad rush is better than doing things properly.
The vote share to seat ratio is the most disproportionate ever! Totally valid question!
Labour won get over it.
Not only does Beth struggle to ask any party leader sensible questions, barking at them, never letting them give a complete reply and, like Fiona Bruce, pretend not to know what Labour's plans are, she only lets Conservatives talk without questioning or correcting their lies. For someone so well paid, I do wonder why Beth refuses to add a g to ing words.
Yes! The missING part of words…drives me crazy!😂
Did she prevent Starmer giving a complete reply? Was she barking at him?
Can’t listen to her anymore. The former Home Secretary did the same. Mercifully I can’t remember her name.
@@Gordon.Pinkerton She found some old scripts from down the back of a filing cabinet and cobbled together some nonsense as if thinking she could treat Starmer like a child. Asking ridiculous questions as if he were still in opposition.
I wish they'd get rid of the unnecessary flags. We know where we are.
You´re right there, Max: a different style of government requires a different approach to journalism.
I cringed when I saw it. Embarrassing.
Beth Rigby is full of herself, the government has changed but not the quality of media reporting.
Give 16 year olds the vote asap. Coupled with PR we would never again see another right wing government.
The adults are now running the country Thank goodness.
I usually like Beth, but she has to have an enemy 🙄
You like her because she usually goes against the right wing.
Go Kier
Yeah, go Keir !
Labour voter here, who absolutely hates defending Beth Rigby.
1. Voteshare matters because the majority in most of the seats won is wafer-thin. This is also the least democratic election in British history in terms of votes per seat. Turnout is also related to this, and is a serious problem.
2. Actually, quite a lot can be achieved in 100 days, even if it's just the beginnings of something. In 2010 the Conservatives almost immediately put out an emergency budget, and I'd argue that's what's needed here.
3. Simply because Boris wasn't asked certain questions doesn't mean that Starmer shouldn't. There isn't a Standard List of Questions.
4. You should know by now that the priority of this genre of "news" is entertainment first. They care about ratings.
We got a mandate in all four nations? I don't remember Labour getting any seats in N. Ireland.
Shame these people didn’t hold the tories to account.
I'm actually quite disappointed with Beth Rigby. She's better than that.
Clearly not
Obviously not .
She's having an embarrassing question moment with Sir Kier Starmer Starmer!
You’d expect more from someone who got the job based on merit not cup size..
Actually she isn't 🤦
Stupid questions are irrelevant now. We got what we wanted, let them get on with it
What's one concrete change voters can expect to see within 100 days, Starmer?
We are the change!!! 🤣🤣
Hardly a signal of "real change" is it. The rhetoric has changed is all.
