'Government' and 'highly efficient' should never be used together in a sentence other than 'The Government will never be highly efficient at anything it ever attempts.'
Andrew Neil is a treasure. Holding people to account. That is what we want from Journalists and he is one of our very best, imv. Certainly can't think of anyone better.
And the BBC let him go.What an own goal by the national broadcaster.Now Daily Politics resembles a politics-lite version of Loose Women.Imho of course.
"That's incorrect ANDREW" means Mr Adonis is a liar. Why not just say "That's incorrect". There is no need for belittlement. And the correct expression in The British Language, is actually. "That is incorrect Mr Neil".
"No I never said that - check your facts" .... "Here's a quote from you saying that" ... "I was talking about something different" Fast to reframe what you said in the past, not so fast admitting mistakes.. Classic case of never wrong!
That’s certainly not my position, although he is a good example of someone who should not be in a position where he can frustrate the Government’s legislation, as he is unelected and represents only himself. I would start by removing the hereditaries and bishops and move towards a smaller, elected second chamber.

@Aris Georgopoulos The EU is proposing to stop a private company delivering a contracted product because it failed to place its own order in time......has also tried to stop the export of vaccines to Australia.. .......... Astrazenica is a British /Swedish company, which is why Eurocrats have spent the last weeks trying to rubbish it and now trying to steal it.....
@Aris Georgopoulos Good try but, the rest of the world is not stupid, they've realised just what kind of corrupt, dictatorial this EU organisation is. Can imagine Joseph Stalin and Adolf himself having a wry smile.
As an American looking in from without, I have to say that after watching him for years now, I’d say that Neil is one of my favorite journalists. A model for all young journalists and feared by all in his sights.
@@simon-ec5kv only a summary piece here in YT. I used to be a regular BBC listener until about five or six years ago. At that point I was on to their operational tricks. they rarely let US conservative voices have their equal say, or for that matter anyone who didn’t agree with the BBC world view. Instead, their position was characterized by the BBC US correspondent, who was invariably left-wing. Used to drive me nuts because the BBC I grew up with used to be far more impartial. That and the constant droning on about climate change, all presenting only one side of the argument when there is clearly a contending theory. Never a debate; just settled science. In the end I just dumped them. I’ve been starved for broadcast like Spectator. I’ve noticed a lot of us here in the US go to foreign sources for their US news. This, the Duran, and Sky Australia are my favorites. Sad that it has to be that way, but you can’t wholly trust anyone in the US corporate media these days.
@@obriets agree. I've almost totally stopped watching BBC TV + going on their website. I've also switched off radio except for a few shows including In our Time which I note is all on Spotify. But the Rajan-Neil interview is proper long form, 90 mins if I recall. A wistful reminder of what the BBC could be and worth tracking down
@Aris Georgopoulos What a load of pony. The EU are claiming that THEY produced the vaccines. THEY didn't, a multi-national company with manufacturing bases in countries that are members of the EU produced the vaccines and exported them according to the contracts they signed. AZ/GB - Scheduled delivery iirc AZ/EU - Best effort. i.e. They get them when the stock is available. Also they have large stock of vaccines, but Macron outright lied about its efficacy and dangers of one of them because it's a GB developed one.
If politicians could just grasp that the public would respect them more if they gave straight answers and admitted fault. He's a typical remoaner like the arrogant James O'Brien - who coincidentally wrote a book called 'how not to be wrong'.
What a breath of fresh air these type of interviews are. Well researched and no agenda. Hopefully the GB news channel will be like this. I for one have given up on all main stream media.
How do you like your donut? Grilled, toasted or boiled? Well all I can say id well done Mr Neil and fair does to Adonis for putting himself in the pan! Best hour of the week! Thanks The Spectator.
It's hard to know if Adonis is on the level, or a Brexit provocateur trying to cast Remainers in the worst possible light. Either way he was the finest recruiting sergeant for the Leave side imaginable.
As soon that as Adonis said 'you need to examine the record' Neil was going to blast him out of the water. Andrew Neil has to be one of the best briefed journalists in this country. No wonder the BBC got rid of him.
Andrew PLEASE get us GB NEWS asap. We want MORE.🇬🇧👍 Adonis knows he’s lost his credibility and is in a corner. He’s a pitiful little man now but he won’t get any sympathy.
“We’ll be going back into the single market” 😂🤦🏻♀️ No, no we wont Andrew. The UK has just joined the WORLD market. The EU is collapsing all around us .. wonderful isnt it, and not our problem anymore
This guy is the definition of a traitor. And now he is trying to weasel his way back. England won't be safe until he leaves. He is a natural bridge builder? Yeah so enemy forces can invade.
What Adonut doesn't comprehend is that we do not and will not be victims of EU mistakes . If our politicians make mistakes ... they are accountable to the British voter .
You don't see that sort of interrogation on the BBC politics programmes anymore. They want to avoid 'confrontational' interviews and thus the policies and ideas of our elected politicians escape rigorous testing.
Mr Neil, I feel I wasted part of my life watching your interview of the foolish nave. I learned nothing. But I did enjoy your polite evisceration of the very foolish nave. I’m very much looking forward to your new channel, good luck.
"It seems to be the case - and this is really shocking - that decisions have been taken by ministers not to engage in EU procurement as a matter of ideology not practicality. Ventilators and that ‘lost email’ are only one aspect" - Adonis Doesnt sound like he was against the scheme to me. What a lousy weasel.
I would have so much more respect for these people if they just admitted they were wrong and apologised to those in question. We all make mistakes and the people would relate to such an admission...
Well done, Andrew in exposing this weasel word Lord. Loved watching him squirming under intense questioning. Looking forward to the launch of your news channel.
Thank goodness to see Andrew Neil. A gutsy intelligent journalist who does his homework and nails them. Too many journalist fear this style as they know they will not be allowed into the "inner sanctum" of future interviews.
You nailed him @afneil ! He was lost for words there. Imagine if that interview had been on BBC ... 'oh didn't you say that Lord Adonis ? Sorry about that'.
Adonis will oppose everything and anything. He has no credibility whatsoever and his opinion is pretty useless and can’t make any positive contribution to the British people. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Lord Adonis. Lower than a snakes belly. Quite how has this fellow got the brass neck to comment on anything.
He's a slippery customer.
He’s a professional cork soaker.
Lower than a snakes belly - perfect description!
Lower than shark s**t. Bloody EU lover.
i always feel deeply uncomfortable after listening to anything Adonis says he is so disingenuous and reminds me of some loathsome Dickensian character
Oleaginous

He was caught out lying.

Hence y the bbc sacked him. Re. BBC, I’ve gone several from hours per day to zero hours per year.
Mr Neil certainly does his homework, why do liars ever think they can bluff their way through his interrogation?
Ego!
Yep absolutely nothing gets past Andrew that’s why bbc got rid
The point of being a Lord back in the day was to show how high someone was held now it just shows a nobhead
Yes ond adonis is the biggest
She is a Baroness, but I give you Baroness Newlove. She is most certainly not a nobhead
This treacherous bastard should never have been allowed anywhere near the Lords.von de Leyen was the only name on the ballot paper
“If I had been in government “ Thank god you weren’t Adonut
That would require winning a seat, somethings he's always failed to do
He's had a career of relying on jobs from those that do.
@Carl Yelland I think dislike of Adonis is one of the few things that unite the left and right
I don't understand why people who appear before Andrew don't do as much prep as he does before an interview.....Adonis has just had a beating 😆
Prep like deleted previous idiotic tweets...
Lord Adonut is of the persuasion that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
Very witty.
@Aris Georgopoulos What a load of pony. The EU are claiming that THEY produced the vaccines. THEY didn't, a multi-national company with manufacturing bases in countries that are members of the EU produced the vaccines and exported them according to the contracts they signed.
AZ/GB - Scheduled delivery iirc

Adonis Unelected and NOT NEEDED
Awww bless him poor old Adonis is going bright red when challenged on his tweet 🤣
Adonis and bbc should be exposed about everything they said about the dangers to brexit and how little Britain 🇬🇧 will suffer as a result.
Lord Adonis? Who the f#ck is he anyway?
A knob head
Part vulture and part lizard man.
He’s the reason why 20 people need to fight for an awful factory job.
Love it when people like Adonis refer to the EU as Europe - what about the 23% of the European Continent is Russian Territory
Putin wants to know you're address
Bollocks to that - I've heard that he still has a full set of keys for the Lubyanka from his KGB days - "better to be Red than Dead" 😂😂
I’ve lived “europe” most of my adult life.... most people here know the difference
And Israel, because that's in Europe if a certain song contest is correct.
This shows that we need to test ourr 'leaders' for personality disorders.

6:47 "I didn't say these things, but when I did didn't say them, it was fair to say that due to PPE".. what a clown.
"He only opens his mouth to change feet" springs to mind.
Very good.
'He has to hop everywhere because he always has one foot in his mouth.'
How can Adonis keep a straight face during this? A funny and strange man who is obsessed with everything that isn't British.
The British elites have loathed Britain for decades.
He even says “Britain” in an annoying way.
