People need to be convinced the economy is turning the corner of but "None of the will be provable this side of July 4th", says Andrew Neil.

Brilliant! May I use that one myself? I am distributing leaflets for the election for the Greens and that is not quite as unlikely as it seems. Labour only appointed their candidate in the last day for a GE only six weeks away, and the Green lady , Ellie Chowns, is already a successful County Councillor for the Ward neighbouring mine, and has solid support. One can just hope that the die-hard Tory majority here is so fed up that they stay at home on Independence Day!
Best wishes from George in North Herefordshire, whose current MP is the delightful [sic] Bill Wiggins, who earns far more from Quatar than from his MP income! I call him is Bill the B+++++d.

Is that the 'Bungalow' Bill, that was married to Joan Collins?
So called, because 'there's nothing upstairs'.
Right.Hoows about the UN vote for a cease fire in Gaza...0h wait...
Edit: Further proof. Sunak and the soviet union elections
Voting cannot escape class conflict. Only through vertical, not horizontal democracy can we have power over our governance. Only then do we hold a key (one of them. Nothing is simple)
Right of recal.
All the lies have come home to roost. Bye Bye 'Sunak the incompetent'.
You say about every PM
What lies? Just curious.
You will understand what is labour pain when Labour comes to rule

The economy turning a corner is he on drugs?
We have had the biggest drop in the standard of living in history over the last 2 years
Actually since 1955, living standards have increased every year. Except last year when they reduced for the first time ever!! (data: Resolution Foundation)
Standards have gone up for multi millionaires
@@alanc7778 ACTUALLY you can find data supporting anything you want. It depends who you support and what your objectives are.
Economy turning a corner 😂😂😂
@@andrewfrancis3591 You can't get the GDP data to support a theory that the economy is booming when you pump 2 million workers into it over 2 years and get 0.6% growth in quarter 9.
GDP per Capita has shrunk from 50k in 2010 to 45k now.
I'm also quite capable of working out that my tax has gone up by £550 per annum because of Fiscal drag. You can just use the BOE inflation calculator it will give you a threshold that should be £15500 not 12250 now frozen by 7 bins till 2028
The turkey's have voted for Christmas
I think it’s law 🤥
4th July ?! ..at least the turkey's will have a chance to evade Thanksgiving
Yeah coz everything been spectacular this past decade.
No idea what your point is tbh.
Yes, for 14 years. Time for a change. Now finally I might be able to get a GP appointment within 3 weeks. And NHS treatment within a year.
Sunak without an umbrella soaking wet outside Drowning Street was hilarious…and allegedly, labour « dont have a plan ».
Lol yes they have a plan ....when it looks like rain carry an umbrella or better still stay indoors!! Now that's a plan!! Lol standing looking like a drowned rat in the pouring rain listening to things will get better err sorry but missed most of his announcement couldnt stop laughing...nearly peed my pants!!😂😂
The only reason the Angela rayner house thing hasn't gone away is that the Tory client media won't let it go. Most people know it's nonsense just like starmer and his beer and curry. Desperate stuff.
Tax the rich. The middle class is disappearing.
*disappeared
Try telling that to lieber
Labour will continue to tax ordinary people to waste the money on lost causes and benefits
FOR THE RCP!
It’s been taxed into oblivion because they can’t afford tax accountants
Live in the real world and do a food shop. Things are far from getting better! Tories out.
Real. 💯
Was Andrew commenting from his château in France in the EU he so despises? What a patriot he is.
ZERO SEATS!!!
Based AA
You might be surprised
They better throw in the towel now before attempting to climb that mountain!
Tories are always like 'Big things coming...trust me.'
Yeah like they have been coming for 14 years according to them
They talk the talk but never walk the walk.
@jogriffiths5766 hey it's easier to promise good things are just around the corner than to actually take action
All the more that Gallway and the RCP are both on the rise.
Argentina. Trump.
We. Need. Change
Thunderstorms????
Oh look, a traitor lecturing about other traitors.
That’s a trope about Starmer reneging on his 10 pledges. There were actually 45 points within the 10 and almost all are still valid.
I wonder if anyone is actually paying to read Andrew's column now the Mail has a partial paywall.
Sunak can't be trusted to organise an umbrella holder or a conference room with a cup of tea for the press.
He couldn't organise a trip to the toilet
Borrowing is currently at 120 billion quid. The Tax cuts we got were quite frankly unaffordable.
Says who?
The simple view of a simple mind.
The more you increase taxes the more the public sector takes over. Government spending needs to be cut in all areas. Then you can lower taxes
Stop spending on benefits and stop mass immigration which is a disaster
@@JesterEric taxes can rise for all sorts of reasons. At present the tax hike is to service the national debt. If high taxes = lots of public services, we would have (high) quality public services. This is not the case.
In July, post brexit checks on food kick in and there is a forecast of shortages, hence why the Gvt has been advising stocking up. That would hole the Tory ship below the waterline.
And lieber is going to float silly
They couldn't find the mountain with both hands.
Andrew’s Tory Tears are delicious 😂 Didnt take him long to shoehorn in the Angela Rayner non-story 😂
"Famous Defeat"? - no, with an 80 seat majority, its "defeat snatched from the jaws of victory"
I thought the Angela Rayna thing was just a personal vendetta of the right-wing fascist newspapers rather than reality. I suppose by mentioning it you just wish to support the dayly mail and continue the propaganda.
The papers loved to go on about the couple of hundred quid Raynor may or may not have owed to the Treasury. No mention of the tens of thousands Esther McVey syphoned in expenses.
fascist 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@jrobs1133Its true. The faschists have yet to make their move.
Faschism is capitalism in decay, wrestling for control.
Neil's a hack and always has been.
@@jesush.tap-dancingchrist7328 A government minister tasked with identifying wasteful spending has been charging the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds in expenses to rent a flat in London despite her fellow MP husband owning a property nearby.

“No mention” 🤪🤪🤪🤪
I get a feeling he is betting everything on Rwanda: if you want deportation to happen, then vote tory. If he loses the vote then he will not have to make Rwanda happen, and so not lose face. And he can blame labour for what was going to fail anyway.
Only Brexit saved the Tories from a battering in 2019.
one of his faces anyway.
Rwanda costs nearly half a million per migrant, if you want that plan then you're a gullible fool
It would be cheaper to give them a full house and a quarter million pounds in few cash than send them to Rwanda
@@xaiano794 but they'd still be here. Point well made though!
.... so, is Russia taking Vovcahnsk in 24 hours and Kharkiv in 72 hours or not (it has been a few weeks already)?
.... and what is going in with arrests of Russian generals (last was vice chief of staff) for corruption?
How is the Rayner thing down to Labour, it’s been whipped up by Tory donors and MPs and the complicit fuzz.
Sunak putting himself front and centre is a surprising choice - nobody I know has a good word to say about him.
Goodbye Tories. It hasn't been pleasant. 😊
The Tories, along with Nigel Farage, have displayed massive levels of self interest over the needs of the country. Now we are all paying a costly price for their selfishness.
The mountain to climb is a bad analogy in the UK. It is a case of which worn out party party is hanging on to the sides of the toilet harder as we all slide down it in to the bowl whoever is in charge.
Do the Labours have a mountain to climb?
Wishi Washi announces "this is as good as it gets under the Tories" - why didn't his servant not tell him it was raining and to take an umbrella or pack-a-mac?
Because he is mega rich and will simply buy another suit.
So you want stinking starmer
Fishy "It's only going to get even worse from here, let's hold it now"
Err not down to you
Lets get this straight we don't want tories but we don't want Keir Starmer neither
Why not? Everything was better under labour
True. And Labour would open the borders for all so we become the homeless hostel for the world
@@Millie.com232
Sorry?
You realise that immigration numbers at the highest rate ever and guess who has been in power for 14 years?
Clue. It's not Labour. 😉
@@Millie.com232 then how come immigration was massively lower under labour?
@@xaiano794 Blair QUINTUPLED immigration from what it was under John Major. According to his speech-writer Andrew Nether, he did it "to rub the right's nose in diversity".
How do you make an easy £100 million as a Prime Minister?
Step 1: Arrange a deal with the leader of a foreign government. His part is semi-legal. Your part is illegal. Agree to split any profit 50-50.
Step 2: Arrange a non-refundable payment of at least £200 million to that country and get it agreed by Parliament.
Step 3: Pretend you are going ahead with the illegal act.
Step 4: Wait until after a General Election.
Step 5: Lose the Election.
Step 6. Arrange for your payment in a foreign bank.
Last gasp attempt by the tory client media to keep the Angela Rayner story alive. This is just a bit sad by now.
Just the time of year, anecdotally, I feel people are more open to change and renew in the summer, than they would be in November.
Sunak or starmer? We're goosed 😂
Wrong
Everything was better under labour
I think U hv no idea of the damage the tories hv inflicted: most ppl want em out.
Call an election so they don't have time to topple him. Also... winter would be terrible for them as people battle the cold and energy prices.
The Tory Times is struggling
Nice to see how neutral Neil is being considering he is going to play a lead presentation role in the election. BTW at least Starmer turned up for the interview which is more than Johnson did.
Andrew Neil crushes it, again.
the problem with kier starmer is he sounds to much like a tory. we need a government that will take back water rail and electricity, these are a necessity for a working country and should never have been sold off to the profiteers now running them
I can't take Andrew Neill seriously now after reading his DM articles.
The Tories have been living in the past and they're history now. 🤔( "Green Fire", geoff nelson hill, bookshops UK/US ) 🌈🦉
The letters were going in. Sunak doesn’t/didn’t care about his party’s fortunes, he didn’t want to be pushed.
It is mission Impossible and thats a wonderful thing.
Labour not offering to return human rights I see. Don't think either will get my vote.
I bet all those left wing and middle class Labour supporting presenters really hate the fact that Andrew Neil has been hired. Andrew Neil is a titan compared with these other presenting pygmies
Clutching at straws!! Good economic news? Inflation UP by 2.3%, growth at 0.3%, Sunak knew things were likely to worsen so jumped. No flights to Rwanda and illegal immigration currently over 10,000 so far this year.
Was Andrew calling in from his home in the south of France?
I have a hunch that little Rishi will end up punting umbrellas down Petticoat Lane market , as there is lots of heavy rain forecast ! 2 for a score or 3 for a pony ...type of thing !
Tories stay home on the 4th july...👍
Times Radio or GB News??
The tories couldn't climb over a stile without falling on their faces.
Hes gna have no cash. The manifesto the promise, you hold people to that in power
Simple, Andrew 👏🏼👏🏼
Brillo Pad loving it
Who is it Suak? And all the mayor or ministers around in uk?
Labour pulling away in latest poll - and that was conducted before the latest debacle.
LABOUR AS NO PLANE AT ALL
Okay Mr T
@@leecassanell OKAY MR T ??????????
You have no grammar at all
We want Labour in power. Sadiq Khan to be next Labour leader with corbyn and abbot as is side kicks. Kick out the Tories - how dare they try to fix the economy and stop the illegals coming via the boats. I stand with Labour - refugees welcome
So Who Do We Vote For ?
Yes, Olympus Mons...
Engaging in UK politics at the moment is akin to having to use a Portaloo at a rock festival. The Tories are the end of day two. Labour are the last hour of day four.
thats ok though we have sir kier starmer to help us out.. oh wait. He cant even opose the torries, how do people expect him to lead the country?
Sunak can turn on a pin head a lot smaller than a sixpence.
Steve Bray should have played Fool in the Rain by Led Zep yesterday instead
Mountain 🏔️ more like a few million wet suits to sell. Nah, Rishi, the umbrella ☔ man gotta do better. Perhaps he can become an estate agent in California, selling dry sand to the poor and calling it a mansion
Your advertising is despicable. 12,000 trees: r u joking? How many Palestinians hv u murdered?
I like Starmer.
more like the mt everest
Was a Tory voter. no more, as for reform definately not.
I can't help but feel the only thing worse than a Tory win will be a Tory loss.
You may be alone on that one!
@@BillDavies-ej6ye Quite possibly. A tory win seems unthinkable. But a labour win? Unthinkable!
@@CupOfSweetTea It's going to be a tough few years, but I want a government that attempts to tackle issues. I don't feel that the tories have made any effort at all.
@@BillDavies-ej6ye they made an effort, just not for us. Labour, on the other hand, have sat on a fence where they seem too comfortable for my liking.
@@CupOfSweetTea Remind me, again, what effort? What outcomes resulted from their effort? They look like a loaf grifters to me, sold to the highest bidder.
Andrew Neil... As gammon as they come.
Tories the only chance for meny , labor free for pepole dont lime to work
Good try Maria. Next time, have your teacher check your spelling.
Bad move by Sunak, Andrew Neil remains anything but impartial having a dig a David Lammy quite unnecessary and countries not supporting ICC or other international bodies that in any way criticise Israel's behaviour in the Gaza War are not countries I'm proud of being a citizen of - support for the international establishments is needed instead of pandering to pressure groups or US vested interests.
Are Liebour going to carry on with the Cloward and Piven Strategy ?
Everything was better under labour
@@xaiano794 Under Labour 1997-2010, average weekly rent went from £65 to £155; in other words, from around 18.8% of average income to 32.2% of average income. Average house prices went from £75,000 to £190,000 in 2007, but fell back after the 2007 financial crash to £168,000 in 2010. This meant that the house price to income ratio went from 4.2 times yearly salary to 8.3 times annual salary, before falling back to 6.7 times average salary.
Get rid of super rich Rishi and I may still vote Conservative. If he stays I will not vote for anyone.
Honest question: why? They have been in 14 years, what is better now than it was under labour?
Tories defeat for the wrong reasons
He is unelected . Unwanted , unethical,
Goodbye scumak
Sunak will become lord and will travel like lord Camroon private jets costing 500000 £ from one destination to Ukraine I think they came to politics to save Ukraine not Britain 🇬🇧 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Helping Ukraine is the cheaper option
They are destroying Ukraine through continued death and destruction. Early election because he is worried Ukraine will collapse before November
No one thinks or feels the tories have improved anything. Sunak wants to go to California with his largesse. Greedy tories. No tory leader or PM has had any care for the country since Major. May may have had some morals but I am being kind. Neil is astute but he is a tory so his attacks on Labour are understandable but biased. Starmer is a decent moral guy and perhaps Neil is saddened by lack of rhetoric about bold plans. if they were there he and times and the right wing media would scaremonger. Putting starmer against Sunak is an easy win. Sunak is totally useless and empty a carrot would beat him
Why? War is coming...
Disrespectful having election during Scottish school holidays!
I’m not going to bother voting. Neither sunak and his blue tories nor Starmer and his red tories are fit to lead this country
Hats off to Sunak for going after Labours jugular. We know Labour will sink the country far worse then where we are now
Yes, it's been going so well lately, hasn't it?
Labour would lead us into a civil war but at this point, that might be a good thing as both parties have the same agenda. Just Labour is more radical compared to con.
A civil war? You need to stop smoking that stuff
@@xaiano794 many are gearing up for it. Labour will be the final nail in the coffin. Good luck, stay safe.
Don't bet on that! The Tories were voted with 80+ majority. It will be hard to turn that around.
As is well known, it's mainly old people who vote Tory and a lot of them are dead now.
Yeah we're going to need to all vote labour
A good point, I would not risk a quid at 10 to 1 though
Andrew Neil showing yet again what an ares he is. No Andrew YOU told everyone that no-one wanted Blair and look how wrong you were.
He's getting paid regardless, he shouldn't be there and definitely shouldn't be eligible to be prime minister. Get him out and the rest of the cancer
He and his wife's person fortune has grown £120 million in the last year. This 'running the country' lark is just a hobby, same as with Boris.
