I can’t have the conversation with a back bench Tory reading off a script 🤣🤣class
I wrote to my local MP(a tory) I encourage you to do the same if you have a tory in power. Asking about how he could support such a ruinous leader, the twoddle he wrote gave made 5 year olds look like shakespeare. I then asked him about the disgusting new measures the Home Office and DOE were doing to squeeze more money from students. He proceeded to refer me to the DOE in which the secretary for the DOE replied with essentially "you shouldn't be worried because the proposals aren't actually applied yet". Every single tory in this government from secretaries to minister leaders are literally parrots.
This was pure gold 😂
💯 owned him with disdain absolute class
@@lonelyone69 I wrote to my Tory MP twice complaining about how often and easily the leader of this country lies. I even wrote that part in capitals so she wouldn't get confused the second time. Both replies said she understands that we're all angry about the parties. I deliberately didn't mention the parties. They don't care.

Mick Lynch is literally spelling out to Starmer how to win back working class communities.
yes but his silver lining is stopping him hes not working class
@@yorkymc How is he not working class?

Nothing like a politician being called a liar to their face! Love it!
The silence and smug look on the MP's face when Mick called him out for lying says it all. There are none of the politicians who are worth the candle. Self interest and greed rules their every thought, and the sooner we force changes in how government works, the better. Vote INDEPENDANT and destroy party politics. But vote independant only if the independant candidate agrees to act as a message carrier for the electorate and not as a free agent with his or her own agenda.
He is a barking dog with no bite. Owning Wealth gives you the bite and the bark.
And he didn’t even deny it either. What does that say?
Our country is bankrupt,,
Why proxy wars stupidity Union leaders who support undocumented migrants, who had billions like hotels and eventually bring down cheap labour, this man should be talking about a third rate railway why they have a. Lencence to run our trains, who are these companies European Union, who payer the British tax payer, now back to Mike lynch he came on national television quote he said I support undocumented migrants who use boats from France to come to britian,?? As for our health service this has put a huge strain and the pandemic also,
Hotels hospitality industry has suffered a lot of job loses, so hoteliers can put migrants in at a cost to the tax payer billions and the French also get six hundred million pounds to stop migrants coming to britian but who supports this you heard here on this channel Mike lynch,
To me he is a political activist,
Just like Arthur scarhill, and look what happen to our poor miners, and the mining towns around the country, broken drug problems no jobs no future, where is the tuc nowhere to speak out about this why corruption and a Marxist country, brits should wake up before you are controlled , by tyrant's like putin,
I am for British jobs for British worker proper wages and most off all a free speech country and a democratic country,, all our political parties are corrupt on interested in the own political ambitions not for the British people, revolution his needed not through violence but vote to get the right people in who puts brits first,, 🙏
There’s something seriously wrong with a country when people working full-time cannot afford even basic things such as housing and food. There’s something sinister about a government that knows this and refuses to do anything about it.
Nothing sinister nothing unusual. That’s what capitalism does when it reaches its late stage form. For centuries, the British working class were kept comfortable through the colonial and neo-colonial period on the back of the extraction from, and misery of the periphery. As colonialism is now facing unprecedented challenges and is in full retreat, the misery has come home to roost. Now the working class must fight back and never again enter into pernicious compromises with the parasitic ruling class.
@@platosbeard4449 Have you read Plato?
@@platosbeard4449 The working class do not wield enough power to choose whether or not to enter into compromises with the ruling class (or even the middle class in many cases), and just because something may or may not typically happen as a result of capitalism or any other system does not mean that it is OK or deserved. I also did not say that there was anything unusual about how wrong and sinister the situation is for working people.
Even those who would previously have been seen as middle-class people are going to food banks and renting rooms because they can’t afford to buy their own food and housing. This is not acceptable by any reasonable standard!
Stop mass immigration then, that will help the housing crisis for a start.
@@platosbeard4449 this is not capitalism, it's neoliberalism and corporatism.

Totally agree, but he'd never get them elected. The Tory press would get their bigoted attack dogs on him and he'd be battered from pillar to post, his words would be twisted & the Blairites of New Labour would kick him out... just like they did with Corbyn. The UK is finished. Vast swathes of the North voting for Johnson was the final nail in the coffin that sent Britain back to the Victorian era where the working classes have to beg and scrounge for pennies whilst the super rick hoover up the countries' wealth.
He should be PM! Just imagine if he were...
If corbyn can't win then this guys got no chance.
*He's s Marxist Communist !* 🤣
Solid dude, it's a shame that it's always a surprise when people just speak honestly to the liars in front of them.
Johnson is a venal parasite. Truss is a grinning ninny
What a breath of fresh air this bloke is. It's been a long time since I've felt so inspired. He's saying what a lot of us have been feeling for far too long. We need to wake up and realise the power we actually have against financial institutions who exist only to serve themselves
He didn’t do to well protecting his members at P&O, only with captive audience’s like the railways and the underground, holding hard working People to ransom Bully . I wonder if he had anything to do with union official who got beat up at haverstock hill who knows
Brilliant comment, spot on!
@@pineislandpeter What was that incident? Was that in Hampstead?
If you think Lynch is a breath of fresh air I dread to think what you’ve been breathing in earlier! He’s an arrogant throw back from the 70s! Doesn’t give a 🐀’s arse about inconveniencing the travelling public! The sooner he pipes down and stops these hideous strikes the better!
@@nigelkthomas9501 He is an articulate defender of the working class in his sector, the RMT. Why do you say the 1970s. Defending workers rights by Trade Unions had been going on long before that. I suppose a developed nation like the UK is one where there are food banks, people unable to pay their energy bills, nurses stressed out by overwork, teachers unable to teach in cold classrooms. I am a 77 year old pensioner. And seen people fighting fir their rights over decades. You are a typical uninformed MSM brainwashed parroting the rich man's rhetoric.
Mick Lynch for PM.
He had a smile on his face while making other people look like fools.
Straight simple talk.
Never happen the powers that be would destroy him, just look what they done to last slightly socialist choice we had (corbyn)
Anyone who's whole thing is for betterment of the people and to also challenge the uber capitalist system has got no chance unfortunately.
Yes!
not bloody likely
Not likely. The working classes seem to love elitist toffs who hate their guts. Turkey's voting for Xmas.
Mick should be PM. The guy makes more sense than any of the mp's
He's been an absolute breath of fresh air. Straight talking, no nonsense. Starmer, take note!
This is how a proper leader of the opposition would be talking. Not like that champagne socialist in charge of the Labour party.
Finally! Someone with real balls AND common sense. If this guy would ran for office, I would vote for him! I have some hope in the uk back bone again.
Such a shame that someone talking from a working class perspective is so rare on these shows.
Absolutely
The wooden plank won't take any note.
Someone give this guy a 🎖! This is the kind of leader Britain needs.
Im an armed forces Veteran and I support Mick Lynch and the RMT
That Tory back benchers going on about veterans, he has got no idea about us veterans, we get treated like something on the bottom of his shoe ,the guys a melt ,combat stress, closed hollybush house in ayr ,I have nowhere to go to get my treatment, now these Tories blame everyone else except themselves, mick keep up the good work
I've only ever met one veteran that could be deemed as a higher class than the normal....yet there's still a shit tonne that always vote tory
Well said Sir! I have never served, but I joined the armed forces pages on facebook during the last general election, fully expecting to see posts and comments about how badly the tories treat veterans and those still serving. The information isn't exactly difficult to find.
Instead I found a seething mass of right wing, gullible chumps continuously making utterly stupid comments about Labour and Corbyn, and still they are much the same with regard to Starmer.
I found a few decent guys there, of course - and I'm sure even the tory voting ones are probably alright people if you don't discuss politics with them, but after a while I started to notice a lot of them were pretty much repeating Daily Mail headlines, practically word for word sometimes.
I left after a while, because I really want to have great respect for our armed forces personel, but I just can't find it in me to respect somebody who is calling me a 'loony leftie' and has a profile full of right wing nonsense, offensive memes about Lab / LD / SNP etc politicians and I'm afraid to say - quite a lot of nationalistic racist tripe.
I came to the suspicion that when our squaddies get up in the morning there must be a large free pile of right wing tabloid rags available to them or something. I found it quite upsetting to see how our armed forces are clearly buying into every trope of Johnson's blatant attempt to stay in power by appealing to xenophobia and ignorance.
So yeah, sorry about the massive message, but I was pleased to see your comment - even if it did remind me of a pretty unpleasant experience!
Hear hear, from a former Royal Fusilier.
Mick is gold. He has a fantastic ability to remain calm and speak gently while telling people they are talking absolute nonsense.
Sounded like an idiot to me.

Mick Lynch - what an absolute star! Nothing but admiration for the man.
A Tory telling anyone to apologise for NHS wait times is a bit of a sick joke.
Even if it was a man who literally tied up a bunch of doctors who were meant to be seeing patients, I would still find it somewhat offensive.
Funny how gullis wasn't at all fussed about any of that 2 years ago, when he was the one stopping people from going to hospital appointments...
Incredible, what planet is that Tory from.
The hypocrisy in what he was saying was mind blowing wasn’t it!?!? Man it would of been amazing if he listed back how that the tories have shat on every aspect and section of our society that he had just mentioned. But eh that’s a hell of a list to throw back 😂
Gullis looked liked he’d forgotten to take the coat hanger out his jacket before putting it on. Also, he’s definitely a graduate of the “Use veterans when all else fails” school of debate…although in his case, the word “debate” is doing a lot of heavy-lifting.
Mick bodying journos and politicians is just magnificent
Love this guy. What a breath of fresh air he is. Someone at last saying how it is to third rate TV celebrities and scheming, lying politicians who try to walk over him. Long may this man reign.
Power in a union indeed. He seems like the best man for the anti-union climate that's going around. Graceful under pressure, but with the sharp tounge and wit needed to get through to media fog.

Funny how he's always quiet and repectful when someone else is talking and as soon as he talks the person interviewing in a lot of cases immediately starts talking over him.
Yep. The media have their salaries paid by rich Tory donors and know what their job is.

This mouth almighty reminds me of Scargill in the 80s, and he didn't get his own way either.
That's because he has class - they do not.
I didn't really know much about this chap prior to the strikes but my god, he's an absolute legend. Labour would do well to support this fella!
How wonderful to hear the sense & intelligence from Mick
“I don’t even know your name” absolute quality Sir 👍
Mike Lynch has provided better opposition in two days than Starmer has in two years.
So true.
This guy is such a legend. Love Mick Lynch. His brutal honesty is so refreshing.
This guy is head and shoulders above those politicians and the corporate media both intellectually and morally. Keep it up Mick!
That's not a big ask to be honest given the arseholes that currently occupy seats in Westminster. Do think Mick is a top man though
"Well I think you should apologise for talking nonsense "😂😂
😂it’s my job and it pays well.
That final line from Mick is pure truth, as a working class guy and long time trade union member, I support each and every one of the workers standing up for their right to a decent wage. The Labour party is not a party of labour - hasn’t been for decades, that is why their vote collapsed in Scotland, leaving the door open to left-leaning separatists to essentially replace them, and now in the post-industrial north who feel that a blue-blooded Tory has more to offer them than the LABOUR PARTY. Mick is a hero and he is so right, change is needed and it’s needed now.
Spot on👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Right on the money! What are they going to say when NHS staff and workers vote for strike action? Will they demonise them too? Well done Mick for speaking truth to power. Look at the parlous state of the country after twelve years of Tory rule. All working people have is their labour to hire. If they feel they're not getting a fair wage then they have the right to withdraw that labour.
People should be proud to be a Trade Unionist and a member of a union and the Labour Party needs to get back to supporting working people looking for a fair deal before it finds itself being prosecuted under the Trades Description Act!
@@hughedwards3826 You have my thanks and solidarity!
@Bif Stiff Yes, too right. Solidarity!
Labour lost its voters in scotland because they LITERALLY campaigned side by side with scottish tories to stop independence.
Regardless of what mine or their opinion of independence was/is they should never have campaigned with the tories.
They were literally side by side going to doors canvassing the public as a joint team, not 2 separate teams doing the same thing it was 1 team made up of labour and tories.
We need many more like Mick Lynch, workers who are the very backbone of this country should have a much better share of the wealth that they create, and for all those who have put in the many years of hard work should and must be well looked after in their retirement years and not have to struggle.
He is consistently impressive and intelligent - puts our politicians to shame.

Lynch is not making a fool of Tories, journalists and so on. He is completely correct and straight forward with his opinion. Tories and journalists are making fools of themselves! Working class people keep your economy running. He is not telling 5hem to turn working class people into miljonairs, he is telling them that working class people are working class people and no slaves. The obligation is on the governments side to recognize that. Lynch is calling somebody who is not telling the truth what he is and is doing this on a honest and direct manner. He is direct towards Tories, he is direct against Labours in the house. Rich people are o.k. as long they don’t forget their responsibilities for the ‘less blessed’ in the society. And this journalist is a repulsive person by using those who risked their life for the country and were underpaid as well, to try to smear Lynch.
“miljonairs” 🤑 so close
I am loving these videos! He is awesome this bloke. Wish he was leader of Labour
Wish he was our PM
As a veteran I can tell the back-bencher that we are a resourceful bunch and will overcome trivial problems. He's had 10 years to help veterans but somehow is only getting round to mentioning it now, but actually not helping anyway.
Instead he thought he'd try and use you for some phoney self righteous clout on TV. Clearly didn't work lol
Exactly! Trying to use struggling veterans, to stir up the hatred between the left and the right. Which has absolutely nothing to do with the debate over rail workers rights and pay. Can you imagine if this Slimy excuse for a bloke, actually had empathy, and sympathy, for people in poverty. People who are struggling to make ends meet. Wether that be a rail worker, a military veteran, or a nurse. Maybe this country wouldn’t be in the desperate state it is right now.
Exactly what I thought pal.
Also, what class are most soldiers in the UK from?
that Tory snake doesn't give a shit about the veterans or anything else but his own self-interests - Mick Lynch on the other hand does care.
Well said Mick keep the good work up.
What a legend!
"Richard, you do come out with the most remarkable twaddle sometimes" 😂😂😂 Legend
Hahaha
What was best about Lynch having said that, is the guy he said it to was SO triggered by the statement that he brought it up at least 2-3 times during the rest of the interview, demonstrating that it had really struck close to home. If he himself didn't believe what he was saying was 'twaddle', then it would've been like water rolling off a ducks back, but because modern journalists are egotistical script readers who are only looking for 'gotcha' moments, anyone with a lick of sense can run circles around them.
@@LabTech41 well put. I haven't been able to watch mainstream media for years cause it feels like a bizarre circus.
No he doesn’t! Richard Madeley was asking very reasonable questions. Lynch was talking utter twaddle cos he’s nothing more than an arrogant throwback from the 70s. A time best forgotten due the number of strikes.
@@nigelkthomas9501 For someone who's got so much train-related content on his channel, you have a shocking lack of sympathy for the plight of people who actually OPERATE the railway system.
He wasn't asking reasonable questions: he was casting aspersions and asking leading questions in order to portray the workers as the villains, instead of the private companies and government that have so far been colluding to line their own pockets and screw over the working man. Have you been paying attention at all to the questions and statements the media have made during the interviews with union officials? They all follow the same pattern.
That last statement he made at the end really got to me, it's like he's in this on his own and there's no one else to back him up.
Mick Lynch completely "owning" all these interviews.
We need more union leaders of this quality, not less.

When I worked in the Transport sector in London, Bob Crow was the leader of the RMT, Im sure he would be proud of Lynchs leadership and calm , cool , collected manner when being interviewed by state media.
He makes me want to join a UNION. I earn less than half of the train drivers, In the University sector they've attacked our pension's and that of the lecturers and manager's, during Austerity we spent years struggling to get a 1% pay increase while the VC's continued to give themselves decent if not exorbitant pay increases with a straight face (as did politicians). Now the middle classes are going to start to feel the pain. People have to learn to stand buy each other and not just care about themselves. I'm totally behind the strikes, the rail industry should be for the people and owned by the people anyway, not just those who want Profit at any cost.
Do it mate, you just never know when you might need one, well worth a tenner a months or whatever
It's not the train drivers that are striking. It's the other 40'000 rail workers who don't want to be poorer or made redundant with the already expressed plan to employ cheaper less protected labour.
joining a union gives you legal cover even if you are the only one at your place of work!!!
Please join a union. Mine saved my job more than once. You never know when you might need them

He is paid a huge wage by a tiny minority of union workers. He doesnt represent the majority or the people. And if he gave a damn he would be accepting such a large wage He has no more integirty than any other pig with his snout in the trough. If the Majority of the country supported him, they would be paid up memebers of a trade union, instead unions are dieing on their are when it comes to membership.
@@test-bu8sw i never said he was right, i just said what he has said has made more sense in regards to the questions asked than any politician, whether you people it or not.
Love the last segment…”Are we supposed to beg?”
He definitely needs to get in parliament..Well said sir
Mick should become PM.
Legend
Quick, stop him, he speaks too much truth!
Ian Hislop in the half-time break.
@Michael Myke Fat chance of that happening. Being a successful politician means knowing when to steer clear of losing battles and public humiliation.
@Michael Myke Hilarious. What does that Tory boot taste like?
@Michael Myke How would I know? I'm not the one licking their boots, you are. Either this or you can't read and you are entirely too quick on the trigger.
Love listening to Mick Lynch he never gets flustered! He just simply keeps his cool and makes FOOLS of so many. If he was in a boxing ring HE would knock them for six! As it is he only needs words to do just so.
love him he is articulate and got a real voice to go with it.
What a legend! More of this, please.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
The man's a humble modest legend
Best wishes To all at RMT fighting for a fair deal. I'm disabled and travelling is difficult enough without losing helpful staff. I want to speak to a person if I need help.
I love this man! He is a true hero for the working people. He says it how it is.
Well done it's about time someone showed up these lying clowns.
I hope to be hearing and seeing a lot more of Mick in the coming years. In the end, somebody needs to fill the Starmer-sized void on the picket lines.
you cant argue with that level of honesty and integrity....he doesnt get flustered because he has nothing to hide...he has a clear conscience
Best line "I want a settlement but I can't do that with a backbench MP who's just learnt it off a script" 🤣
2:10 calling out the backbench MP who's just learnt talking points from a script was a brilliant power move.
When you point out the talking points are _just talking points,_ the audience can see the phoniness.
And it leaves the mug sent out to have to think on their feet … and they haven't prepared for that as they thought they could just keep banging on with the talking points they were instructed to use.
and i'm glad especially because that kid looked and sounded uncomfortably too Trumpian for my liking!
@@michaelcoward1902 - He's the MP for the part of Stoke where the British Union Of Fascists was founded nearly a century ago .
that fella was reciting lines like he is in a school play, didnt seem to believe them himself
that shitheel tory was dead in the eyes
They’ve managed to knock it out of us, but Mick still knows.
Best put down ever, “I don’t even know your name.”
cracked me up too.
Its a bit rich the MPs have voted themsleves a payrise but when nobody else can.
Not that I think MPs getting a pay rise is right or wrong but what is wrong is that you say MPs vote for themselves to get a pay rise. That is not true. It is the The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority that approves a pay rise and the amount it increases is based on ONS analysis of the average pay rise for public sector workers.
It's a bit rich that Mick Lynch is paid £124,000.
@@ExcuseMyDerp But do they have to accept it ?
@@captricharddee3634 No it isn’t, he’s not on strike he’s doing exactly what his members choose to pay him to do. And he’s doing it very well
Capt Richard Dee, what or who is even Richer is the Tory MP who is a multi millionaire and refuses to disclose how he came by his wealth. He certainly didnt earn by helping and supporting ordinary workers, as did mick lynch.
Mrs Thatcher went to war with the Unions and was lethal. I was born in Manchester , city that made fortunes for the countries whilst workers lived in squalor The Labour movement was formed .Solidarity is a must ..Thatcher + Blair ( a vile war criminal ) never believed in talks they brought unrest and privatisation .Good to see unions in numbers not being apathetic .The public take so much granted and think only of self.. Support the unions who actually will always support you when needed .This sick government won't What would be ideal is to see joining of hands across the country .I live in Germany Strikes never last long / there are excellent communications with the work force and no 'them &. us' ..In all work places management are not like lords above . It works .Tories are just as they ever were , ruthless and only for self .

German industrial / union relationship is somewhat similar to Ireland, where Mick’s parents come from, so it’s about consensus building. Although property owners in Ireland have huge influence on state policy on land use, housing and rent rates, in the productive wealth creation sector, there is a more balanced relationship between employers and employees.
I love this man and though I don’t even live in the UK
Mick has had it and is standing up for honesty and normal people 👌🏾👊🏾
