I guess at 80 I'm more sceptical because as I did not believe Sunak the slimy Snake for one thousandth of a micro second.
Did you believe the lazy, lying sociopath, Johnson?
Same here.
I respect you as an elder.
@@progressivedemagogue8480
age has nothing to do with it..I'm 18 months old and even i could see that he was a snake.
If Sunak somehow thinks that by promoting Lee Anderson it will help improve things for him and the Tories, it just shows how tone deaf they really are.
It won't, and furthermore, it's hardly the first obnoxious MP with a working class background to be promoted.
@@badenhowell3312I like him speaks his mind
Rishi would reappoint Enoch if he thought it would rehabilitate him.
@@reidycruise And he knows what a woman is unlike the whole of labours shadow cabinet
It's part of his "integrity, accountability and professionalism". He chose someone who lacks all those qualities and elevated him to be deputy party chair.
It's like an episode of Yes Minister
@@comanchio1976 'Yes Minister'?
You have a point I never thought of, it makes sense
Enoch’s of the future become Enoch’s of the past. 30p Lee
hg82met Yes but on the plus side unlike the entirety of the labour shadow cabinet he does know what a woman is,
Anderson was suspended by Labour for his bigotry against travellers, then responded by becoming a Tory. That is the real reason, not Brexit or the "hard-left". He knew the Tories accept his bigotry with open zrms.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
He was right about travellers. Aside from that, he’s cringe.
I would run that past Corbyn’s anti semetic mates sonny.🤦♂
Strange he doesn't like travellers, only the other day he seemed proud of the fact his secretary could go travelling on less than £30,000 per annum while renting in London.
@Evaluate surely you mean the Tory underworld?
It sends a message that Sunak wishes to send; that is: if you are a voter who has an grievance, no matter how obnoxious, how emotional, how prejudiced, or how irrational, I'm your man. Vote for me. I'll listen to your rant and I'll tell you whatever you want to hear, and I'll let you vent your pent up anger and hatred at whomsoever you like, at the expense of the country's interests, so long as I remain in Government. We shall have to see whether there are enough of those people to overwhelm our democratic system to force us to be governed at the whim of those who put the least rational thought into their choices.
what rationality does the modern left use 🤣🤣🤣 are you stating the current labour party is rational 🤣
Exactly this. It's the same strategy of the GOP in the US. They're saying "Spite is all we have, but you love feeling spiteful don't you?"
I'm not sure whether Sunak is on a self destruct mission, or just likes bullies and idiots surrounding him.
Perhaps he's hankering for his school days?
@@erict.watson2460 Smack bottom time was always fun at Winchester and Eton. They used Slippers..
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Did they now? I wasn't aware; I'll have to take your word for it ... 😉
Ur answer is there, he's been bullied to promote him.
@@erict.watson2460 Common knowledge.
Their last chance is a coalition of the obnoxious. Attract all the most obnoxious voters to vote Tory.
Which means having the most obnoxious MP’s in the cabinet.
So in other words, everything is obnoxious apart from those who agree with your political stance? How very obnoxious.
@@nick1065 Or in otherwords he's absolutely spot on and you are a very poor troll? Grow up.
@Nick even if you agree with what he says, you have to acknowledge Lee is far more confrontational than most. He's the opposite of a diplomat
So business as usual then !
The fascists of the future will call themselves anti fascists
“Set a beggar on horseback, and he will ride to the devil”
Put a Tory on benefits, and he will realise that you can't live on them :)
Anderson is just another no mark in the House of Commons.
which MP do you approve of? 🤣
Is a No Mark the same as a skid-mark?
Ok, let’s give Mr 30 p £2.10 for the week, and see if he could feed himself. Oh and televise it as well. You couldn’t make the Tory party up, even in a work of Fiction. 😅😅😅
Yup, and not a penny extra so it's just tap water to drink. I'd pay to see him starve for 6 days straight, after all thanks to him there are children in this country facing malnutrition and millions of them.
Matthew Paris, when married and Tory MP for West Derbyshire, back in the 80's pulled a similar stunt - that he and his missus COULD live for a week or two on what, was then, the dole. Think he failed.
He'd do just fine, it's easy to live on 30p a day when your house is paid for by the taxpayer and all travel, bills and food are pushed through as "expenses."
@@dace48 Do MPs actually pay for anything?
@@whiteknightbred6807 irrelevant
It's not a Government, it's a Scumervant.
....didnt quite work did it....must try better......
@@chatham43 you clearly understood the comment and it triggered you enough to respond so I'd argue it worked perfectly 🤣
Should maybe Anderson have resigned BEFORE being appointed? "I'm bringing you in, Lee." "I resign." "Right, we've got that over. Will you take the post?" "I've already resigned." "O.k. You start Monday."
MPs don't resign, in one of those arcane rules that they seem to have all the time in the world to create even though they struggle to solve the simplest of real-life issues. They are appointed Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds, which as a Crown appointment means they cannot be an MP any longer. It's the dumbest of traditions. Of course, 30p Lee doesn't need to do this, as he is only being given a job with the Conservative party, not he Crown. Meanwhile, the rest of the MPs are already watering down the commitment to reign in their second jobs as company directors taking free cash for half a day's work a year. They're all struggling, don't ya know! :-)
the reason being is Sunak running out of MPs to promote so at this point its anyone will do after all this 13 years later you have to run out at some point
Lee Anderson is my MP. This is not a source of joy.
is he popular in your constituency or do you think he's on borrowed time?
Mine too. Its really does make me feel embarrassed to live in Ashfield
@@xforeverknightx aaaah, diddums 🥺😭
Wait for Anderson scandals come out
I am told there are a number
He definitely looks and acts like an R worder.
What like the one where he knocked on the house of a random person. Who turned out to be a friend, and the TV crew recorded the whole plan on mic 🎙?
Well his association with a white supremacist group in his constituency should be enough to bar him from ANY public office full stop.
Labour have beaten him to it.Been to Sheffield lately?
The Conservatives are running out of depths to plumb.
Hopefully they keep going when they reach molten lava
@@uniteddreamer hopefully
Unfortunately some working class leap onto the tory gravy train, it is quite common, I live in the London borough of havering and people get onto the council by campaigning as residents association and then they turn Tory its obscene but people will sell their soul for cash

'30p' Lee Anderson needs to have a word with Gordon Ramsay on meal costings, that's apart from the fact some poor souls are making decisions about heating or eating assuming their property hasn't been broken into by professional vandals to install a prepaid meter they cannot afford. I'm sure Gordon Ramsay would have a lot more to say on that subject too!
£30,000+ a year and have to rely on food banks, let’s see a breakdown of where the money is spent ?
Court bailiffs with a warrant can break in if you have loads of letter’s from the gas company and then sent a notice from the court saying they might come if you don’t pay and just ignore them
@@jamessmythe1891 That's a very specific figure that doesn't relate at all to the comment you're responding to. I don't suppose you've got an agenda of any kind?
@@rodmorrison47 Why do you think Lee Anderson raise the matter, that figure is just an approximation, he’s really referring to nurse who earlier on the bbc radio 5, said she was on £30,000 a year, still can’t afford to feed her 2 kids.
@@jamessmythe1891 What have you got against nurses? Don't you think stagnating wages and having to pay £1000 a year to park at work isn't enough?

Scary thing is Lee Anderson, appeals to certain segments of the electorate.

He appeals to the vast majority of the working class.
@@PiOfficial Yes the ones who continue to vote against their own interests, you know morons.
Lee Anderson is the voice of the working class ex Red Wall. Old school, plain-speaking, no nonsense patriot. Something modern Labour simply cannot understand and that is why they lost in 2019.
1st caller, Excellent intuitive caller,nice bloke ✌
Sounds like someone I’ll buy a print and chat politics all night with
Lee anderson is everything that's wrong with this country
In what way
@@nigelknight6688 he is a scummy manipulator. You missed the famous video of him we all assume otherwise you would never even ask that question.
@@nigelknight6688 seriously?
He was suspended from Labour for derogatory comments against travellers .
So what does he do ?
He joins the Tories , where those divisive comments are not only allowed , they're encouraged
@@kbspark, I wonder what you would think if travelers moved next door to you ??????
Working class torys are possibly even harder to stomach than the entitled eton college variety.
Yes and they do not realise the eton college variety secretly despise then
I've been having a back-and-forth with the local Tory headbanger on this. He thinks Lee Anderthal is great because he "gets under the lefties' skin" and we fear him
That’s like saying “ you’re scared of that potato “ !
Have you tried inverting the question, and asking him who he would fear in government? Could be interesting 🙂
@@markwelch3564 They’re in place now !
Anderson is just thick like Dorris.
To be fair this comment section proves that he does indeed "get under the lefties' skin" and they fear him
Wow, 30p Lee's latest outburst (Thursday) is that he wants to bring back the death penalty.
He said criminals can't commit crimes once they're executed. I doubt he's heard of miscarriages of justice.
Of course he does. Anything that appeals to voters whose educational chances were less than perfect or missed out on.
The Tories want people who might be tempted to vote for the Reform party to vote for them and they think people like Lee Anderson might persuade them.
Labour’s loss was the tories gain, and they are welcome to him. Let’s hope his downfall is as his fast as his rise, the last few party chairs have been spectacular failures so let the trend continue!
they told him to leave the party because he had not read Karl Marx 🤣🤣 you know that completely wrong deadly philosopher with blood on his hands🤣
Lee Anderson can’t keep his mouth shut, lots of horrible little nuggets will come out cos he’s so brash
They're trying to convince Gammon/Kippers they are the party to vote for. Brash is what they want and Sunak will ignore racism for votes.
It gets worse, it really does and I despair, embarrassed at what my country has become. We want, no we NEED a general election.
Whats labour going to do, i rather vote reform than these clown parties
@@michaeldent1684 it would be a wasted vote, we have a 2 party democracy.
...and that might lead to a Labour administration which no longer represent the working classes and cannot define what a woman is..... you really haven't thought this through have you?
@@chatham43 Why don't you run for office yourself, a person of your obvious intelligence, one who's clarity of thought and obvious in depth understand and commentary on complex matters of which they know nothing about is, I must say impressive. I'd certainly vote for you.
With the greatest respect I find you tedious, you are not a person I would associate with under any circumstance, the comments section of you tube included. So with the greatest sincerely go away and bother someone else.
30p Lees meals actually consists of 30 peas.
clearly 30p has been promoted to shut him up in a place where he can do no further collateral damage, he has now responsibilities to raise funds for the party and must obey party rules.
I wouldn't put the man who thinks you can survive on 30p meals in charge of my fundraising 🤣
I hope he can raise 30p but at this point I doubt it
Since when has obeying the rules mattered to those lot?
30p Lee FFS what's next? The GE cannot come soon enough.
30p Lee is now deputy. Can it get any worse?
I wonder if he grabbed lee in case he has to force suella, that way he's still appeasing the far right faction
Don’t worry give him a month and they will find something on him ,he’s hatful
The first caller is spot on. I've been saying that for ages.
💯💯💯
Question: What is Sunak ACTUALLY FOR? Not in beliefs or policies, but in the sense of a drill is used to drill holes and drive screws in or out, or a carving knife is used to carve the Christmas turkey.
He promised honesty, integrity, accountability and transparency in his government - but doesn't appear to have provided any of them to any noticeable extent.
Love that phrase as thick as mince
....very surprised you've not heard it before......😄😄
@@chatham43 I have but not for a while
I have but it's not mince !
@@noramartin96 presumably s*&t?
Says the public school boy about a former miner.
I’d agree with the first caller, and you can extend this to Farage having a German wife while campaigning for Brexit, BoJo being born in America, Trump being 2 married to none US born women while spewing hatred to foreigners. I liken it to almost saying “don’t look at me they’re are more …….(insert the stereotype) than me, and they are the real problem”
no one hates foreigners - grow up ffs
Your point simply proves that what the media called these men were not actually true. They believed in national identity and autonomy to choose who should come to their country etc.
As a American i aways thought that trump had to import wives so they were really white European white. Plus his American wife was smart enough to move her daughter to California.
Great caller.🏴🤝🏴⚖️
The ERG have made Braverman their spokesman on immigrants purely because of her skin color and background......they really are sneaky and underhanded.
Tins of rice pudding are £1.50 .
Well that's five meals Sunday to Thursday
30p Lee who doxxes his staff...
I don’t know why Sunak has appointed him. Anderson’s supporters are the same bunch that will never vote Tory whilst he’s in charge any way. Sunak is making it harder for his own people in this country just for his own career outcomes.
He needs to be in prison so does the rest of the tories and supporters of tories
Because he is a down to earth bloke in touch with ordinary people unlike the the increasingly patronising left
Lee Anderson was a Scab during the miners Strike.
Every single thing they do just reeks of contempt for the general public. As if they see them as dribbling, square-eyed empty vessels starring at the television set waiting to be told how to feel and what to think.
....be your turn soon pal.....😀
Most people are how you describe.
They are gong on a home run and need excuses.
Lee can help poor Boris sort his finances out.
PM keeps appointing incompetent people to key roles possible because of a fear of those who may be a threat to him!
I've been thinking the same as this caller for a while now.
Anyone else absolutely fed up of the Tories, please leave a like!
Every time I hear Anderson open his gob it makes me embarrassed to be a Northerner.

You know that's one thing as an American who is not quite yet 40, when I go back and watch a bit of Fry and Laurie reruns I often have to do a bit of research to get the political jokes of which there were quite many. I mean we're not very cultured over here about world politics and we certainly don't spend a lot of time learning what the politics of other countries were when we were two. But what the educational system failed to provide me. I will provide myself in order to understand jokes.
But now that I listen to this everyday and know what's going on over there much more than I ever did when I was two, What exactly is the comparable thing to a bit of Fry and Laurie that this will help me with? I don't think there is such a thing.
There isn't anything comparable, mate. We've left the realm of rationality, compassion, honesty and integrity; we've even left satire in the dirt. I'm a British-Indian, born and raised in England my entire 41 years old live, yet after Brexit I've had people I've worked with for 7 years say "but you're not really English though, are you". We've lost ourselves to hate, bigotry and to the little englander syndrome. I have family in the states so I keep up politically what's happening there I see that both the political and social arena has become very right wing in both our countries.
Unbelievable!

Let's not pretend that anybody left of centre who is in a position to do anything about the plight of the working class gives a toss about them. Labour ceased to represent them decades ago.
Anderson comes from scab country - the Nottinghamshire coalfields. So it doesn't surprise me he should flip over to the Tories.
That part of the world has always been an oddity, Labour but reactionary at the same time, which makes you wonder why they ever voted labour.
Probably just on economic grounds, they'd vote Tory but they ultimately couldn't afford to.
Which is the same with many of these so-called Red Wall seats, they've always had a conservative bent, but needed Labour on economic grounds.
Bit like Anderson himself, up until recently. He's probably always been a Tory at heart, just no room for him until Johnson came to power.
Johnson's combination of Brexit, one nation Toryism, and leveling up swayed the heads of many in traditional working class seats/ But alas, as always, they got suckered in. Just like the Nottingham miners/ who worked through the strike for Thatcher.
That's hardly a justification to promote 30pLee though, Dippy Dorries also came from a working class background and then has tried to kick the ladder of opportunity out from under her since...
Great point! Absolutely true.
I'm assuming he was the best of the bunch?
What a great call, this guy is spot on 👌🏼
Don't be surprised at the low level of ability and honesty. There's not much to pick from. The better Tories have left or are sitting back watching the inevitable collapse.
Lee Anderson is English that makes him great!

Love it now we can see your face sir James And the real you

Those early reports suggesting Rishi had secretly broken into “look at me I’m 30p lee” and had a smart meter fitted appear to have been unfounded
OR LIKE RAAB TAKING THE KNEE IS GAME OF THRONES 😂🤣🤣🤣
The Labour Party was lucky to lose Anderson.
He's there for the Alf Garnett demographic
Ding ding ding! Caller is spot on.
Johnathon Gillis wouldn’t surprise me if he gets deputy prime minister after Raab gets kicked out
Don't joke about that
Lee Anderson seems to make Dominic Raab look like a light-weight bully. I think it`s the ONLY thing I could agree with him on.
....and not an election in sight......term times need to be reduced to 4 years at most......
Anderson will, slip up once again, will pay the price...
So much for transparency, integrity, professionalism, I'm I missing something lol.
