- “Any attempt to change the leadership would be absolutely disastrous for the Conservative Party. It would tear us apart even further.”
Former Conservative home secretary Kenneth Baker warns the party needs to "knuckle down" and focus on closing the gap with Labour before the election under Rishi Sunak's premiership.

Please, you don't need to sell it to me. I've already told you I want the Conservatives to face electoral disaster.
Vote abolishment
I know, right? The thought of them collapsing gives me a semi!
@@wellifthemediasaysit It gives me hope. In reality, though, I look through the candidates for this week's election and the only message I get is that they're not listening. It's going in one ear and out the other.
@@JelMain The police are too cowardly and scared to do anything about it!
With or without him the Tories are finished.
The electorate hasn’t forgotten the millions of taxpayers’ money paid to ‘*Chums*’ of the Tories for Personal Protection Equipment during the COVID scandal.
Sunnak is alright, but we need a Labour governmt..
@@Doidera-rl9kd it's the same wef gov with the same globalist policies pro net zero , pro war , pro big pharma, pro CRT..... But yea you go and vote for more of the same 👌😂
@@Doidera-rl9kdso your choice would be to instead of voting for one corrupt party you'd vote for another corrupt party I'd rather gain a braincell and just abolish the entire government and monachy and when a general election actually happens I plan to vote for abolishment of government I refuse to keep voting for corruption its damaging to this entire country if you vote for either Labour or tory because those will be the only two parties you can choose between and they will cause nothing but more damage.
Not if you put Penny Mordant in place people don’t want Labour
The tories must go. Removing disability payments will be criminal and irresponsible. Sunak is crazy.
Don’t think Rishi cares now he’s made his money and can leave 🤷🏽♂️
Did you know we pay more out in disability and associated payments per head of capita than any other country in Western Europe?
@@fasthracing Will taking money away from them make them better?
@@mjrhitchin For the genuine cases of course not. However why is do you think that we have so many people claiming? Perhaps its our weather?
@@fasthracing Perhaps it is because we have such high levels of health inequality?
Yawn, yet more pro tory propaganda from a tory on a pro tory propaganda station.
Yet again we hear a Tory insisting their polling will pick up toward an election, though that has happened in the past it is not a given and some pundits say it probably wont happen this time, too many have learnt that most time Tories open their mouths what comes out is very economical with the truth.
Don't watch it then. Are you being forced to watch? YAWN.
@@lion73266 People can choose to watch something in the hope of balance, as this is a media source after. Maybe it's the media outlet in question that needs to change.
@lion73266 I watch it as it's good to not have just an echo chamber when it comes to what I listen and watch. It's good to monitor what a pro tory propaganda station like Times Radio is pumping out. You might be happy with being a Tory serf but I'd rather die than ever accept what a tory says.
@@lion73266It pops out in everyone's recommendations?
People want the NHS fixed
Impossible. Add world peace to the list too maybe?
we want to go back to the EU and gets our rights back.
Unfixable, broken beyond repair. Throwing more money at it will not cure the problem.
@@Doidera-rl9kd What rights would they be then?
@@user-rt1rh9py4v 100% my thoughts too
Zero seats is the least these shy sters deserve.
Surely ‘most’?
Most!
Doesn't matter what they say or do, they're finished.
The public has already made up it's mind.
So out of touch
I'm warning Conservatives of electoral disaster if they DO or they DON'T get rid of Rishi Sunak. 14 years of pathetic uselessness.
I won't vote for tory
If the Tories had any shred of decency and integrity they would call a general election now.
They don’t
Big if, massive if
They won't they know they will lose
@@dixie3058 So instead they dig an even deeper electoral hole for themselves. 🙂
@@nigelhardy7218 5 years magically becomes seven.
Pretending your small boats/Rwanda policy means you are tough on immigration is a joke, Tory legal migration is massive, 745k 2022, 672k in 2023. The Tories don't want low immigration as they can use the cheap labour to prop up GDP. Even with those numbers we are in recession
And Rwanda £250 million so far, just proves the Tories love spending public money like water whilst taking it away from those that actually need it.
100%
I have said this so many times and people tell me I am an idiot. So glad to see your comment with a good few likes, perhaps people are starting to realise!
Yes, he has a bit of brass neck to even dare say it
Which is why the Tories only talk about illegal immigrants (boat people), never legal migrants.
Baker is doing what he always did in the past. Spinning.
I forsee serious civil unrest if the tories aren't ousted soon?!
Ooh I do hope so! We need the spark.
There is nothing wrong with your eyesight 👁 🗳
@wulfhere83 It will be defiance at first, then little enclaves of disobedience, which then will tip over the edge to disorder and violence! It is absolutely going to happen?! It will tumble like a house of cards!
Oh trust me there are so many ppl who want to rise up but they are waiting for someone to make the firsr moves
Agreed...
Ken Baker: deluded when he was in government, deluded now he's retired. Ken: I wish you well, but please shut up. Byee
Zero Tory seats please. Tory voters stay home, dont vote, protect the NHS.
Zero Seats!
They all need to go. We need something different not the same old party politics.
There are currently 517 registered political parties in the UK. What are you waiting for?
Keep taking the tablets, Ken.
It doesn’t matter we are now seeing the last Tory prime minister,because they have not done what the electorate want.
Two words, broken promises
Makes no difference if they get rid of him or not, they're done.
Deluded. I was waiting for him to say ' You've never had it so good '
I dropped off my postal vote yesterday, sorry sTories
As a conservative, in the traditional sense of the word, the Tories are finished. Thanks, you've handed the government to Labour. Proving the point that's there's no difference between you, because frankly, if you were worried Labour governing the country you'd act differently. But you aren't worried, you're happy to let Labour take the reins bevuaee funadamentally your party wouldn't do any different.
exactly
the Tories seem to be doing everything to ensure a Labour landslide
Which, given the total dross Labour are, should be impossible
They are done whatever they do. 14 years of complete and utter incompetence, scandal and broken promises will see to that.
It will be a disaster for them if they don't.
Nope.. be shocking if they even get one seat
We need the unelected billionaire to fully represent the electorate. *We’re all in this together*, don’t you know?
His not going to is he?? Get real.
We need a Donald Trump
Given that Andy Street has been doing his best in the campaign to pretend that he's not connected to the Conservative Party, I'm not sure his re-election would be much of an endorsement of Sunak's leadership.
Every day he clings on he's hemorrhaging support
Why does times radio always come from the position that saving the Tory party is a moral and nessesary cause, how can you still support these negligent irresponsible clowns
Coz it's the likes of RM who run the ruddy country, not the government. Though he'd always rather the self-serving Tories. Famous for saying that when he goes to Brussels they ignore him, and when he goes to Downing Street he tells them what to do!
"we" faced tougher times in 1954 [or so, without wanting to rewatch this to be certain]" - we're in the here and now and right now the Tories need to go.
Net Zero = Zero seats. we can do it. 0 seats
"Your young lady"? That's The Times political editor! Who said Tories were out of touch? SIlly old sod.
Needs putting on trial for treason
#BeingSaneInInsanePlaces
yeah , well past time Blair & Corbyn were, being actual traitors
No they cannot survive. They are finished after such a pathetic performance over a 14 year period. We certainly don't deserve several years HARD LABOUR. REFORM UK are the only party to have a very clear and positive strategy as to how they would address all the major issues now facing our once great country (mainly created by the 2 traditional parties over the last few decades).
Sunak thinks if he holds us hostage long enough by not calling a general election we will all develop Stockholm syndrome
Yes 😅😅
Middlesbrough isn't on the Tyne, it's on the Tees, 30 mile difference. Middlesbrough and the surrounding areas are NOT northeast. These minor mistakes indicate a wider dismissal of ther northeast as a region, as it becomes 'that place up there', where every place not fancied gets lumped together.
Until they want votes then suddenly the North of the country exists again
Umm the tories are a disaster with or without sunak. Zero seats
With or without him, they are unlikely to taste success again without a complete overhaul of their attitude towards normal people. Self reflection is difficult though, so very sadly the tory party will be come irrelevant, likely not even in majority opposition. Most of us could not be more delighted
But we said that about labour and they will be 'next man in'
Call a general election then and see what happens
ONLY IF WE ARE DUMB ENOUGHT TO VOTE FOR A FOREIGNER IN POWER , WHO IS ACTUALLY IN A JOB HE WASNT VOTED IN FOR, MONARCHY, not voted for, PRIME MINISTER not voted for, HOUSE OF LORDS not voted for ....REMEMBER FOLKS, YOUR VOTE COUNTS 😂
Jeez what a load of bull….
SUNAK HAS A US, GREEN CARD. HE IS NOT BRITISH. HOW, WAS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.?
He also has a British passport not that many of us are proud of them
Where is Sunak's sense of integrity? The morally correct thing to do is to acknowledge most of the electorate do not want you; votes for your party are evaporating; most of the policies that are being plucked out of the mist are not viable, you cannot do politics on tour own admission. Then why are you involved in politics and ruining the tory party in the process?
Holding out for an Indian trade deal?
Number one problem the Tories have is you have to be a Tory first not a Neo Liberal or a Socialist. I've been asking this same question for many years Conservative what is it any off these politicians Conserve it certainly isn't Britain or its values or culture.
Wow! This comes as a surprise to me! This guy must have a crystal ball or something. No one saw this coming.
The government needs to realise that that work for the people not the other way round. They make mistake after mistake and never learn the lesson. The PM while seeming like a nice guy is too weak he doesng havd a strong charactor
A nice guy? He is an out of touch evil spineless near billionaire
Bless him. He was always a jolly chap. Mad but very likeable.
Sunak will call an election after Thursdays election. Even he's expecting a Tory wipe out. I've got my popcorn ready..
how outta touch is he then if he thinks sunak is the last great hope, delusional the lot of them
I’m really glad that someone’s optimistic because it’s certainly not a view that’s generally felt. What success?
We have a saying "Zero Seats!" The Conservatives have let us down and need to be punished.
If by madnes the Tories get back into power again the first thing they will do is get rid Sunac and same if they loose. At the moment I cant help think of a dead fish floating on the top of tank waiting to be scooped out. This lot wont go easily. They will also need Help to leave. I see the election happening early next year.
ressign sunak and take your friend cameron with you
I'll have what this guy is smoking 😁
Just a pity we'll have someone even worse - Starmer. I say 'none of the above'.
NO / tories corrupt party out
This is NOT just about immigration. There’s been too much failure to focus on one.
"the economy is picking up" says Kenneth Baker, a wealthy Tory.
Nice chap talking utter nonsense
Promising us a good time. 😊
Poor Britania!
There is detached from reality, and then there is Kenneth Baker.
Hamza gone khan and Sunak next
VOTE REFORM UK ~~~~~~ THE ONLY WAY ~~~~~ TO PUT ~~~''THE GREAT'' ~~~ BACK IN UK
All this focus on the boats is bizarre.
If anyone wants to enter the UK, the far easier route is in a car or lorry, because the Tories ceased checking any incoming vehicles, after the EU exit.
They stopped those checks, which are supposed to be compulsory, because they'd made no preparations, and attempting to carry them out woukd expose our lack of staff and facilities.
The lack of checks also means we have zero leverage in renegotiating our deal with the EU.
We can't ask for reduced checks on our exports, in exchange for similar reduction in theirs, if we aren't carrying out checks on EU goods.
Yeah but tbh if they want drugs and guns in the country boats are less liable to stop and check it's not just migrants in those vehicles
Lorry drivers get a hefty fine ,boat loads dont
Damage done by Johnson and Truss . Partygate , Johson's behaviour in general and Truss crashing the economy
What a dreamer, meanwhile the rest of us live in the real world
Good analogy. Doesn't apply when the captain is actively trying to scupper the ship because he works for the enemy
Baker obviously wants what Cameron wants. What a plonker.
Remember when my grandmother was clearly losing it, we put her in a home. I think he’s on his way.
You sound like a nice person
NO.
Tories don’t have a chance . Complicit in war crimes such as Gaza genocide
Nah
Iraq was Labour
supporting Hamas is Labour Too
Lol, how out of touch can one man be?
GET RISHI SUNAK OUT HE IS VERY DANGEROUS PREYING ON THE MENTALLY ILL
And then he woke up.
It would be naive to imagine electoral defeat will be avoided by them retaining Sunak & Co. Nothing will now prevent the Tories from being voted out of power within months where what they say is all but irrelevant and the only thing of importance are announcements from the incoming Labour Gov.
Starmer doesn't have any coherent policies. Ouch! At least Labour have some policies (and a manifesto) neither of which this bunch have.
If you're in choppy waters, the last thing you want to do is change who's in charge as he charts a path towards the Niagara Falls. Knuckle down people!
They are vile
The Tories never "bad losely", they bad bigly and cruelly and corruptly ...
Either way, they will get annihilated and then fracture. Expect a more extreme right-wing faction that basically joins with Reform and a moderate faction. What that will mean in terms of the political landscape for 2025 onwards, who knows? One things for certain, it’s going to look very different.
Yes but the further to the right they lurch the less electable they will become.
About time
Kenneth Baker is still a good spin doctor. I admire him!
Kenneth Baker applying his clown makeup after every sentence
In a word......no.
Rishi, please call an election and put the country out of its misery. Even Liz Truss had more integrity than you could ever dream of.
i wish rishi sunak to be leader of conservative for 10 year's more in opposition
Ken Baker, the political sage who thought that the Dangerous Dogs act was a good piece of legislation. Courts savaged that more than any dog could have done.
Agreed
I hope they will not
The Tories don't deserve to retain power but I'd still prefer a Tory government than let the Labour Party in. The big turn off to voting Conservative is Rishi Sunak. If he is still leader at the time of the election my vote will go to the Reform Party.
Kenneth has lost the plot!
Get a white English person not the thing we have now.
Hope not.
Sure!! Conservative Party will can definitely survive....... see after the general election!!!! Wait for until then be happy and be a good peaple!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😊😊
Also, Old people should not be allowed to vote. I don't understand who this guy is, having strong opinions about economic policies he would probably not be around to live with. If you are likely not going to be arounf to live with the consequences of your actions, you shouldnt be allowed to vote..
A local election and The general election are completely different gap.
Utter delusion
No
