@@mhl8396 When David Milliband considered challenging his leadership Gordon Brown did indirectly make comments in Parliament to put him down but I've never heard anything credible about him bullying.

Sounds good and well rehearsed by CCO and their supporters in the press. However the opposite is true. In 2010 we owed £800bn we owed pre-Covid £1,850bn as it is Tory policy to borrow as money is cheap. Not only did we have pre-Covid 30,000 less nurses we had over 70,000 NHS unfilled vacancies. Despite this the NHS through 9 years of stealth still had an overspend of £14bn in the year to 31 March 2020. Therefore, the NHS was deliberately starved of funding and ill equipped to tackle a pandemic. The police service also had substantial unfilled posts so has been for years been selective on what service it provides. We need to add to the debt for Covid but the starting positions were far more favourable after 13 years of a Labour Govt than after nearly 10 years of Tory. Even Boris was very much an outspoken critic of the performance of the Tory’s (whatever his motivation) for the management of the economy specifically cutting taxes for high earners and high borrowing to pay for it. I support much of what the Tory Govt has done, but I do not think the re-writing of history as if true helps anyone, much as it helps the Tory cause. The Tory performance overall since 2010 has been poor. It has failed to deliver on most headline policies in all its manifestos. Housing target since 2015, 525,000 new homes. 16 part built, completed 0. More food banks than homes even part built.
@@kevinshanahan6064 The national debt now stands at 3.1 trillion. Which is the highest level of debt more than every labour administration combined. It’s safe to say every labour government we’re far more fiscally responsible than this shower we have at the moment
@@AndyArmstrong88true never forget. There was sustained economic growth over the period Gordon Brown was chancellor of the Exchequer. More children were lifted out of poverty than at any time in modern history. Labour still kept the country economically stabilized and the finances in good shape, . Over the last 13 years, Tories have incurred massive debt and Britain has become poorer. They have NO achievements. Name one thing the Tories achieved other than leaving British in economic ruin, poorer and impoverishing the next generation.

Great man, history will make people realise just what we missed out on. Looking back at what he said with the media blur out of the way and the tories plans failing, it's clear to say he had the manifesto of hope.
@@mhl8396no. Gordon Brown presided over the largest period of sustained economic growth as chancellor. A global recession triggered by banker failures forced him to act as prime minister and save total financial collapse. This certainly required taking on debt
We would still be in the EU and had freedom if the conservatives didn't force an election and look at the country now. I could see this coming since 2009.
A world wide slump 2008 to 2010, but aided by a lack of UK financial regulation. The true Gordon Brown emerged when he inadvertently left his microphone on.
The stuff about never hitting anyone......I think you gave him an out where he can say he never physically hit someone with his arm or fist....but we know he's a very angry guy, and I'm sure he did throw the phones, like they said.
@@nihilistlivesmatter Brown is literally the reason why New Labour was so successful domestically, I remember constant rows from that time between him and Blair and Blair quite often insisted on more centrist/right-wing solutions unlike Brown (Brown e.g. strongly opposed deeper interference of private capital in the NHS, this created constant arguments between the two), while Blair was busy doing his terrifying grins and invading Iraq, Brown just wanted to get things done in the country itself and quite frankly he's been unbelievably successful in many aspects, if you think Gordon was Tony's best pal, you'd be right but at the same time he was his biggest rival
The gold standard has had its day. The lack of regulation in the markets is the real issue when you look at the energy and cost of living crisis. The hedge fund holders and speculators are raking it in at the expense of us . This is what happens when there is very little regulations in the markets. I accept that wholesale regulations are never going to happen.
Guy never got a fair shake at that job. Highly intelligent and could really do with those skills in the current climate.

I'm here after his recent interview with LBC. Damn i forgot what it was like listening to an intelligent politician

Electing Brown in 2010 and the economy and the NHS would have been in in a much less dire position than was going into covid

Entirely seconded- a manifesto of hope.
A chancellor who ran a deficit during a boom, fantastic.

People believed that Labour was rough then. Oh, how little they knew of what would unfold later.

Not worried about charisma , a thoroughly good man unlike the liars and bigots we have in power now.
I WAS CONNED!!
I’ll take competence and integrity over charisma and dishonesty any day of the week.
Oh dear I always find it both funny & depressing how badly these political videos age when looking at the issues nowadays.
Such a shame brown never got a good go at being PM. A genuinely intelligent and empathetic guy who genuinely tried
A world wide slump 2008 to 2010, but aided by a lack of UK financial regulation. The true Gordon Brown emerged when he inadvertently left his microphone on.
Great PM and Chancellor...Zero Charisma .
Charisma is not as important as competence, amply demonstrated by BJ and his successors.
Vote for Boris the clown and expect a circus
Big mouth Clegg ruined it all...
Respect after all, was never in politics at that time but did we make a grave mistake. Just compare him to the populist of now 🤮🤮
The stuff about never hitting anyone......I think you gave him an out where he can say he never physically hit someone with his arm or fist....but we know he's a very angry guy, and I'm sure he did throw the phones, like they said.
Answer: Still getting followed by leprechaun's!
Yeah we’ve all heard that before
And look what came next. Come back Gordon all is forgiven!!
He was Blair's best pal...as bad as the tories have been new labour had to be consigned to the dustbin of history
Gordon is leagues better than anyone the Tory party has churned out the last decade. His integrity is beyond question.
