John McDonnell: Labour should have a female leader if Jeremy Corbyn loses next election | British GQ - Розваги
I want to see Alastair Campbell interview Gordon Brown
The title of this video really does it a disservice - focusing on a single answer in a pretty interesting 50 minute interview.
Should be no 1 comment
Nothing interesting about Marxist ideology from the 1930s
It's almost like Campbell handles spin...
Click bait from GQ ? √
@@Durgesuth No, he is the only person creative enough to re-define economy to satisfy humanist values. If your concern is the economy, then read Radical Markets by Eric Posner and Glen Weyl.
Labour should have a qualified and "good" leader regardless of their gender
Exactly this sexist claptrap is disgusting.
They don't want Keir Starmer or Emily Thornberry to take over from Corbyn. The women shortlist removes half the problem... now to remove Thornberry
You mean their sex I presume?
Let them have Theresa May
When was the last time Labour had a qualified and good leader...
This was such a good interview between two people who fiercely disagree on a lot. Well done Alastair Campbell and John McDonnell.
Ollie Folayan Soft questions, soft answers, lack of detail
Campbell can do one
2 of the best
Labour should use this guy instead of momentum and they would scream in the pols
They don't call Alastair Campbell Blair's liar-in-chief for nothing. Lets not be naive.
Actually Mo Mowlam was probably one of the most significant politicians in brokering the peace process in Ireland...I’d prefer this not to be forgotten
She was but Bliar took her out of the way for the last few weeks and he and Madelson creamed the limelight and the footnotes of future history books. I have been a Labour member for 20 years, they both make me sick.
Very true Tricia - - She often took her wingman Corbyn to NI to resolve the issues which led to peace ,like the first steps of the releasing of political prisoners which kick started the Good Friday process - Mo was a vital cog in brokering the peace process Not much is mentioned of this in the press - Just Corbyn loves the IRA smear and Blair was the hero of the day when its completely not true - The hard graft was done by Mo and company - lets not forget this
That's true. Mo was great. And the GFA would not have happened had it not been for Corbyn's negotiating work as an emissary to Sinn Fein on Blair's behalf. There was never going to be an end to the violence without negotiations with Sinn Fein, and there were never going to be such negotiations if there was going to be an insistence that Sinn Fein be made to look like it was surrendering.
@@bonechip01 Robin Cook was indeed an admirable, even heroic figure. He resigned from the Cabinet on principle, went through a divorce, and his early death was attributed to a heart attack. Do you have any reason to believe there's anything suspicious about the man's demise?
@Olivia Purcel Absolutely true. Blair and Campbell made everything about their "project"-everything had to be about proving that they were right to treat the Labour Party as the VIetnamese village they found they had to destroy in order to "save". The reality is, the main reason Blair moved Labour so brutally to the right after 1994 was that he knew a Labour victory, on any manifesto, was going to be a certainty in 1996 or 1997 and that the only way Blair could pretend he deserved credit for the victory was to remove every last speck of socialism and even social democracy from the party's policies.
Such a bad title for a video designed to trigger people who won't watch it. I just can't believe how articulate, common-sensical, pragmatic and knowledgeable Mr. McDonnell is on so many different topics.
Like 99% of politicians. People are incredibly fast, especially in this day and age, to write off a persons entire fabric because of their political affiliation or leanings. What a ridiculous era we live in.
McDonnell is extremely bright and very literate in economics. To think we could have this guy taking the reigns of the economy and putting forward an agenda for this country that is actually positive and forward thinking.
The other thing the media never mentions - McDonnell has support and backing from some of the best minds in economics. Whether it’s infrastructure, climate change, energy - they have made some really good policies that actually seek to tackle the problems
If one looks at the trump admin, it’s the exact opposite. The head of each agency is tasked with the destruction of said agency.
Head of the environmental protection agency is there solely to destroy the agency and make sure the fossil fuel companies do well. Head of education is there to make sure private and charter schools do well whilst public schools get funding cut.
This is what we will have with the Tories.
I really hope the people of this country think very clearly before voting. This is the most important vote of a generation.
That Turkey is going to taste extremely bitter for Corbyn come Xmas day.
@@CarlyonProduction As a Marxist he has anything but a good grasp on economics, he just knows how to sell his position well. A very good public speaker if nothing else
@@jacob2808 Absolutely. This dangerous marxist would bring wrack and ruin to the economy within months.
This is what a healthy dialogue looks like.
I'd rather have a good leader regardless on what gender they are. Skills, public presence and intelligence are what matters not whether they are male or female.
no , for me, females aren't governors. Their qualities are elsewhere, not in govt
They've all been male until now so obviously chosen on their gender
@@cakefordinner1762 You're not bright are you?
He said 'if there are two equally qualified people of the two genders'.
An impotant query, here, did you watch the entire interview?
I wish McDonell was leader of Labour at the moment. He's a better salesman of labour's ideas.
I think there's still a lot of life left in McDonnell. I'll vote for him in the next leadership if he stands, and no doubt he'll receive an endorsement from Corbyn
Nicster
Yes .... it’s for the best...
Keir makes a better media speaker
McDonell literally wants to steal property owners’ properties from them for some arbitrary price below market value and gift them to tenants. He’s a Marxist lunatic.
I don't like Jeremy Corbyn at all but there is a huge difference between him and John McDonnell. John is a hardcore Marxist willing to use violence if necessary. He hides it very well in his media appearances these days. Sounds awfully reasonable. But anyone old enough to remember or anyone capable of simple research of his history knows who and what he is.
In this interview he wouldn't really rule out becoming a terrorist if he was in Northern Ireland at the time. Think about that for a second. That's an extraordinary thing.
How Campbell can keep referring to the ‘bubble’ when he is stuck in the ‘bubble’ par excellence.
Whats that word....
Oh now I remember. Projection.
@@Nine-Signs Projection: the word you childlessly use whenever you don't have anything to say
@@georgekosko5124Actually I say as much as I can with as few words as possible, in this case I was pointing out Alistair Campbell projecting onto another something which he is guilty of, which the original poster Tricia French
explains well and I commented in support of.
Now if that all flew past your head perhaps it's not myself with a child like understanding of matters. Have a wonderful day none the less.
He's the media man. He's dodgy but he knows how to do pr, we should try to take some influence from that.
Unfairness to him - he was significantly more in touch with the public regarding the 2019 election than McDonnell
McDonnell really shows his mettle in this interview and makes a formidable defence of the Labour program. Ignore the misleading & irrelevant title it'll be down to Tory bosses/reactionary sub editors at GQ no doubt.
Except they put one line & out of context quotes in the title of their interviews with Tony Blair, Al Gore, etc. It's clickbait. It works on the internet.... That's why you clicked on it.
Tory bosses? How old are you? It's not 1956 any more.
spencer hardy Old enough to know most bosses are - if not overt Tories (the "party of business") - hostile to the authentic Left.
That's because the authentic left contains people like you. It would be silly not to be hostile towards anything a person like you associates with.
That's my best guess.
The morning of Dec 13th will see the resignation of jezza as party leader.
John McDonnell is another thoroughly decent Labour man like Jeremy Corbyn, our NHS cannot wait to be rescued for another Five years under the Tories abuse and neglect, we as a nation need to act now to save our NHS and public services, we have to vote for a Labour Government.
Dunno, he said he likes Blair
The same John mcdonnell asking for ira terrorists to be honoured that man
@@shaunwind3815 doing the rounds I see.

Big John is really something. What an interesting and decent man.
@@turquoiseowl why is that?
Marxists aren't interesting , he advocates an ideology that was thrown on the scrap heap years ago . He's yesterday's fish and chip paper .
@Daniel Clark Clark Think you've got mixed up with the Tories policies.
@@turquoiseowl Do you really? Should have gone to Specsavers
@Joe Langabeer am no right wing troll, have you heard some of his more colourful speeches?
this is great to see, we need more of this.
Very interesting interview. Both I feel played their own roles in doing different damage to the Labour Party but you can clearly sense in this video their shared desire to do what they felt was right for the party. I admire them both highly.
So nice to see human beings talk to each other in a friendly way. Don't agree with John on a good number of things, but interviews like this are so much more revealing and nicer to see. Well done Alistair...
Isn't it interesting how irrelevant the Corbyn wing of the party has become, so quickly.
The thing is that isn't true. Were they close to winning? Not at all (although arguably in 2017, they came much closer to winning than people realise). Yes the Tories won their thumping majority and this shows their support in the country, but I can promise you there are a lot of people that agree with left wing politics and Corbyn. Despite getting the highest vote share, still over half of the country disagree with right wing politics. Within the Labour Party there is still conflict between the left and the centre. Not winning elections and not agreeing with the status quo or your personal opinion doesn't negate the relevance of left wing politics and corbynism, because there is still very much support there
@@nerdsville2299 I agree with this completely, which is why I think Starmer has a much better chance of being elected. I don't personally agree with New Labour and I would consider myself to the left of the party, and I understand completely why we were rejected by the population. I will always vote Labour over Tory and I personally believe Labour should return to its roots of how it was created, but i don't think we are ready as a population for it yet. I will continue to support Keir Starmer to victory even though he's not my ideal candidate (but even as a Corbyn supporter I'm glad RLB didn't win leadership or we would be even more crushed), but he has potential to do real good and he doesn't strike me as the massive Blairite that some perceive him to be and have left the party as a result of. Our first step is stopping all this infighting because we will be out of power as long as we are at war with eachother. So my main point is that I agree completely with your comment that appealing to the broad centre-left is the way forward to power, and Labour is heading in the right direction with their new leadership, but the impact of Corbynism and his appeal to so many shouldn't just be forgotten. If Keir really does stick to his promises of maintaining the party's social radical agenda while also appealing to the northern seats we lost in 2017, I think we can do some real good.
Yes it is but they were irrelevant from. Day one.
At this moment in time in the UK, there is nothing more inspiring than seeing two people who disagree with each other intensely enjoy each other's company.
Watching this in 2023... that Putin or Netanyahu question shook me.
Just a good leader would do, having said that its going to be difficult if not impossible.
Great to see two people from different wings of the party having a reasonable discussion. We need more of this if we are to get Into power.
XD You have absolutely no chance either way.

This came on as an autoplay. Such an interesting and pleasant interview given the current climate where we usually have to engage the BS detector within seconds of the first question. It provides a good insight into the values of the person being interviewed and is much needed in these times. thankyoui.
A good decent politician, a rare breed.
Great interview.
Good honest interview
As a traditional Labour voter, I am sure that I was not alone in 2019 in expressing amazement that Labour had agreed to Boris Johnson having the election he craved. They, the SDP, and the Lib Dems could have blocked him and kept him in charge of a minority administration until 2022. Instead, they handed Johnson the victory he wanted, together with a large Conservative majority that gives him the power to do whatever he wishes. That John McDonnell actually believed that Jeremy Corbyn was a Prime Minister in waiting in 2019 is unbelievable. It was clear as night follows day that Corbyn would never be elected to the office of PM.
He nearly won in 2017 and could of if the right of the party hadn't jumped on board with the media attacking him, And Corbyn and Mcdonnell represent traditional Labour it was Blair and co who changed it to New Labour.
@Alfie Stephens done what in any cirumstances?
@@sjewitt22no he didn’t “nearly win” at all. He performed better than expected in 2017, but still would’ve struggled to put together an effective coalition of stable government. Let’s get real.
Never expected these two gentleman to come together. Great interview!
can anyone identify the designer/model of these good looking chairs? exceptional design in my opinion
How wise and sensible John McDonnell is. What a wonderful man .
I initally liked him - now i think he's a divisive odious hatemonger
Elin Grome why?
@Daniel Clark Clark mcdonnell???? are you sure you're not talking about a tory mate?
@@elingrome5853 Hating tories is fine and encouraged actually. They hate poor people so why should we treat them with compassion and respect? They give us spit back
@Monty Python the Flying Circus boring boring boring, this typical soundbite is sooo incredibly boring. You boomers think you've got it all figured out but you're all dumb as bricks.
Say what you want about Alastair Campbell, he is an election-winning genius.
Listening to his analysis again post-2019, he was right about most things.
Perhaps Labour should have contacted Campbell after 2017.
Understandable why they didn't contact him as the right broke trust very early in Corbyn's tenure and Corbyn was so opposed to their role in the Iraq war.
Wow… i actually like John now, especially when I heard him acknowledge what Blair and Gordon did right. I wish labour would focus on those positives and offer a package building on them acknowledging the mistakes won’t happen again. That’s a platform for winning the Election
He is a cynical politician, desperately trying to make himself appear moderate
"Is Tony Blair a war criminal?" - Through gritted teeth, McDonnell says 'no'.
@@room101b7 the mouth said no. The eyes said YES
McDonnell and Corbyn had a massive fight over the 2016 ref campaign, McDonnell wanted a full-on pro-EU campaign and Jeremy wouldn't listen.
@@theoilandgasresourceportal2132 He was trying his best to be diplomatic, but the guy is essentially a war criminal.
I highly respect John and totally agree about the lives that were and still are ruined by austerity. A choice not a necessity!
I'm a Tory supporter, I disagree with basically everything Corbyn and McDonnell say and stand for but nonetheless this Was a fascinating interview, and McDonnell demonstrates an understanding of good rhetoric rarely seen in modern politics
I never knew much about him, but now I think he'd be great, hope Labour form the next government. Imagine this kind of talk from our politicians instead of all the vile stuff we have these days. Exactly what we need.

@@paulies5407 Yeah you're right, it's not like wages have barely grown since 2008, nor homelessness and poverty shot through the roof since 2010. The Tories haven't cut public services to pieces and sold off the NHS.

@@BritishJuche vote communism instead because we are big brained
@Galthasar Belt It's a myth that Labour spend more than the tories. Historically the opposite would be accurate, but it's all marketing 😉
I forgot what a mature conversation in politics was like
Two slime balls, attempting to de-toxify their brand
Only civil because they are one side of politics. Also they disagree mildly on many things.
Unfortunately on the streets filtering down the pyramid they sit on it translates to name calling and violence shielded by masks so as to be able to return to “civil conversations” and preach righteousness.
So sad i grew up in a Labour family and the day i rejoin is the day i decide to get masked up and violent pointing the finger at who ever i’ve decided is vermin.
Seriously, really hypocritical cognitive dissonance is rife in Labour Party now days.

I think you spoke too soon. We've got a mister angry in here, who wants to turn up the temperature 🤣
Don't understand why Campbell still gets airtime, its not as if he was ever an elected mp
An excellent interview. Well done, both.
Martyn, why praise Alastair at all? how many people died in the Iraq war?
John McDonnell is so right!!! Johnson isn't calculating. He's lazy and opportunistic.
Wouldn't it be great if the factions within the Labour party united to fight the tories.
No it wouldn't
@@theoilandgasresourceportal2132 it would.....Tories are the worst party any nation could have.
I’m sure in different times this would be welcomed
Thanks.
So proud to hear a clear and confident 'Republican', not so often you get clear Left Wing values from Labour politicians, especially in Campbell's days...
Dirty Dossier Campbell: "Was Tony Blair a war criminal?"
The People's Chancellor: "No, no."
This Corbyn foot soldier: "?"
'The people's chancellor' LOL!!! WTF are you smoking?
Is George Galloway your dad?
The “supreme” court is actually unconstitutional in the UK because we are not supposed to have any political intervention from courts - the separation of powers. The only reason the “supreme” court exists is because Blair invented it to keep himself out of The Hague for war crimes.
C G E The Supreme Court is constitutional because Parliament has the power to change the constitution with a simple 50:50 majority. Therefore, when they created the Supreme Court, they made it constitutional by changing the constitution.
So much better than a main stream media interview with the usual egos head butting each other for our "entertainment".
"Did you support my Expulsion?"
"No"
"Would you have me back"
"Yes"
Is that a white lie, or just a lie?
What a pair of knobheads

Well let Campbell apply for reapplication and see what happens.
@@lunafringe10 White lie- "a lie that is told in order to be polite or to stop someone from being upset by the truth." Has nothing to do with race.
How can you not call Blair, a war criminals.
I wish people stop refering to sex because we haven't had a female labour leader or prime minister, whatever happened to policies, I want a labour leader with decent policies.
Your choices are going to be Long-Bailey, Rayner or Pidcock. Thornberry and Cooper are in the process of being sidelined. Keir Starmer has the wrong genitals
John is more Machiavellian than Jeremy
James, I hope you call Churchill a far worse war criminal. If you don't you're a hypocrite.
PanglossDr
Didn’t Churchill go to war to protect Poland and it was relatively local and a clear and present threat. Blair lied and he knew he was lying, you don’t believe a word Blair says do you. He is responsible for social engineering which has really gone well hasn’t it. He was the author of the end of English life as we knew it. Political correctness another divisive policy. He’s is a brilliant salesman who had you believing his lies on everything. His wife is also despicable, have you seen the people and causes she represents in court. Both of em were poison.
@@sadako24 what Saddam Hussein did was unacceptable but we went to war because of protential of weapons of mass destruction, which there hasn't been or never been any proof, yet afterwards it came about, we liberated Iraq and Oil.
I'm not sure why people have disliked this. I disagree with McDonnell on quite a few things but I thought it was very well done interview
I disagree with him about nearly everything, but I think both participants came over very well in this.

Lennon6412 7th now I believe. Tories believe in a laissez faire style of government. When I lived in Hong Kong in the 80’s I got to experience this in all its glories and to see all the hardships of the real poor. The food banks and the gradual drip feeding of curtailment of social care is growing more evidence of the kind I saw in Hong Kong. Not something to be proud of at all.
I used to be proud of my country but now all I see are the rich paying for the lies in order to feed their bank balances and sod the rest of us. They are getting their way quite nicely so far. When Brexit happens the hedge funders who are short selling the pound will be even more vastly richer than they are now. Then they will squirrel it all away in their off-shore accounts and spend just a little of it on funding their hedonistic lifestyle.
Will they be putting a can of beans in a food bank? What do you think?
Count Zigenpuss You clearly haven’t read the Labour manifesto, and by the way, it’s this morally corrupt Tory government who are promising Unicorns like building new hospitals while at the same time making an absolute shambles of Brexit. Even businesses are warming to the idea of a Corbyn Government, rather than a no deal Tory Johnson government.
Please make it Diane abbot 😂😂😂
Im definitely not an Alistair Campbell fan but I applaud the asking of some very straight questions, and his admittance on current opinions (polls) What does worry me is the answers to those direct questions 🤔

@@lameduck3630 ok let's not spin the facts shall we. Why say "Tory women" as if he was referring to multiple exclusively female Tories when we are well aware he said and I quote "margaret thatcher" in what was very obviously intended as a joke and delivered as a joke.

John McDonnell an amazing MP.. I used to live round the corner from his office in Hayes.. The UK needs a new progressive policy base to move us forward.. those policies are Labour
State enforced cuckoldry will move us forward
I think the left have hijacked the meaning of the word progressive surely this should be challenged more often . Imo many of their policies are regressive😃
A good man and MP is John McDonnell.
He’s a backstabbing creep
34:00 When we re-nationalize our shared assets and infrastructure, they should be member and worker owned and run with financial backing from member and worker run building societies. The national government should not be running them. We need to make them future-proof so that they can’t be sold off again. Perhaps, every person with an NI number should be given shares that are non-transferable; the whole cake being divided across the nation.
@Paulo Chan Both are versions of communism, but I much prefer my - worker owned and run - version of that system.
The Labour Party is associated with the Cooperative Party and movement - which advocates cooperative management systems. From what I can gather by reading Corbyn's speeches to the Co-op Party, he is in favour of boosting co-op business models.
As is usually the case with government, and the tories do this as well - for instance when it comes to building unnecessary extra runways and high speed rail links, assets can be bought back at a general market value.
I'm excited about the push to re-nationalize assets and infrastructure that were originally stolen from me and subsequent generations.
Seems a very genuine man. Good to see people from both wings of the party having a constructive debate.
Corbyn is, by far, the best option for the country. His vision is sofisticated, fair and effective. He just needs to make the case that the economy will thrive and grow under the Labour government and tackle the Tory narrative that he will sink the economy. If he is specific and clear enough, he will be the next PM.
and he will give you a passport (Don't forget that)
McDonnell means him the bloody TART
It's a very valid point to say that not considering women for the role of leader, is to reduce the chance of having the best person for the job, in the job. So how ridiculous to counter claim, that leaving out male candidates is the way forward.
bingo
That would be ridiculous, it is a good thing that was not claimed in the interview.
@@justtheouch Josh you clearly missed his point on discriminating in favour of certain groups. It's very clearly nuanced in his narrative that a woman will lead the party.
@@ivanashley7875
He believes that one will, because there are many very capable women in the party. However, if you could timestamp the section where he claims that "leaving out male candidates is the way forward" as you say he did, I would appreciate it.
Looking back at this, McDonnell is so intelligent and in touch, and it's hard to see the 2019 election as anything other than a tragedy. Instead of Corbyn and McDonnell we ended up with a caricature public schoolboy and another investment banker who are completely not up to the job.
Completely disagree. Corbyn, the lunatic puppet... and Mcdonnell, a fool who still can't accept the Ribbentrop/Molotov Pact actually occurred? Why do you still keep insisting this utopian nightmare - that so many poor people have had to endure... and given their lives to overcome - is the answer? Why?
Oh please let it be Dianne Abbot - I need some non-stop comic relief!
OMG yes please. xD
"is Tony Blair a war criminal?"

Really not sure that I can bring myself to vote Labour after watching McDonnell state that Blair is NOT a war criminal and then going on to invite Mr Campbell back into the party.
Interesting that McDonnell added Angela Rayner as a potential leader. I must say she looks and sounds the part but no idea what leadership experience she actually has.

His policies and ideology are the same as Corbyn's.
How come?
McDonnell would have really made the better leader, he actually polls much better in focus groups etc
@@lauramartin5579 I always felt like he embraced Marxism too much, whereas Corbyn always said he hadn't read or thought about Marx in years. Now I kind of see that he just takes the bits of Marx that he likes and ignores what he doesn't. Which isn't a criticism - just as long as he doesn't just keep pushing edgier and edgier policies until people won't vote for him any more. That's my main concern. I liked the 2017 manifesto, but a 2019 one might be the limit to how many policies I can get on board with
It’s right to lie to save a persons life ! Maybe in any situation where misleading the powerful protects the innocent or vulnerable !
How can McDonnell have any time for Campbell or any of the Blairites.
Where are John Mcdonnell's you know whats? I like him and am dissapointed he didnt stand up to Campbell on the Iraq issue
He's trying to de-toxify himself with the blairites

The labour party is a disgrace to rational politics. You should actually look into the effects of your demands in terms of society and economics.
Fantastic interview. more people need to hear and understand.
at 43.10 is there a ghostly laugh?

fantastic person!!!
If you hate Jews, democracy and competent government
@Daniel Clark Clark No, he really doesn't.
@Daniel Clark Clark McDonnell? He is calling for the exact opposite. What you describe is what the Tories are implementing.
Labour cant have a G.E.before a referendum because after a G.E. they will have no chance to stop Brexit. This is their only aim.
:Please stop this carry on. I'm so cold now.
Diane Abbot for leader, yes could do with a laugh.
After making such an idiot of herself with that level of prominence and scrutiny that comes with that position, she'll probably ensure that Labour will not have a female nor black leader again for some while afterwards, just out of sheer superstition and trauma.
She may not be the most charismatic, but she definitely isn't thick like everyone's been trying to make out. I wonder how many of her critics have managed to get a degree from Cambridge as a black woman in the 80s.
Working Class Tory Voter - (Obsessed with Diane Abbot) Congratulations "WINNER"
Yawn - read a book √
@@Jezz_Mcfly Corbyn is about to be SMASHED in this GE!
@@AICabal we'll see ? Turkeys / Christmas 👍
F#*k me, Emily Thornberry as labour leader.......!
MARTIN A1 😂😂😂😂
If you’re at the point where you say that a party SHOULD have a women leader next, you’ve single handedly shown that you care more for virtue signalling on gender than actual quality of politics. Labour SHOULD elect a strong leader whether that is a female or not I don’t care. I care about quality not forcing genders to show how “progressive” I am.
He explicitly states that he thinks that they *do* have women who are capable of leading though and then, with that in mind, it becomes obvious that it should happen.
ScoundrelDaysSon I agree. My comment is not aimed directly at him, apologies if it sounded like that. It’s instead aimed at those who genuinely state that. We had it with Hilary Clinton “we need a women president” forgetting that Hillary debatably is one of the most corrupt career politicians that has ever existed within the US political system.
@@ScoundrelDaysSon exactly... top top talent like... Dawn Butler and Angela Rayner
Very funny hearing Alistair talk about leader role , John is very sophisticated and no doubt knows how dangerous the "BIG MAN" principle is totally bogus.
This is what a United Big Tent Labour Party could look like
If the Corbyn bashers want to work purposefully then I feel we have it right here.
Economic illiterates and jew haters welcome
Anti zionism.is not anti semitism. I agree with Ireland. .BDS.
A lot talk about peace but him and Jeremy only seem to sit down with one side Hamas, Sinn Fienn, IRA, never heard of him have a meeting with the Israeli government or the DUP.
@@toma4794 indeed so what's with the labour party's so called acute anti semitism. The country's Jewish sector would be in danger if the labour party got in .propaganda overdrive.a bloody insult
Does anyone one know how to say sexism?
I was just thinking and I could be wrong but if you as a female were elected not because of your qualities but because you had or don’t have a certain bit of equipment would that not diminish the achievement? Would it not be saying you are unable to be elected on your own merit or at least those men that feel superior don’t think you can achieve without there say-so...
Also does this not call into question the equality of the party you are a member off...
This would be a slap in the face of all labour MPs and there members.. it is saying member are sexist and would never elect a female on there own merit..
Tony didn't do the good Friday aggrement, it was Mo Mowlem not BLAIR!
For gods sake why so many comments about the title of the video. This video is stocked full of economic and political concepts with wonderful policy proposals, focus on that!
You just answered your own question
Fantastic interview revealing how strongly McDonnell and Corbyn work as a team...Campbell does his best to stir things up between them and fails. Maybe this is what he was planning? If so then a tactic which at least demonstrates the superiority and integrity of Corbyn and McDonnell.
Rich white men loving life
This comment didn't age well!!
Hopefully you will now talk to the inspiring energetic and unifying person we now have as leader. An hour of soundbites and platitudes.
kier's a joke, he's just boris with a red tie
So , will it be Diane (not great at maths) Abbott or Jess (perpetually outraged and laughs at male suicide) Phillips?
Feeding of the five thousand. Everyone brought their own food and they shared it with everybody. That's nineteenth century Liberal Theology :-) And none the worse for that.
didn't feed the 5000 if they all bought their own food...

Have a written constitution
Christiane Coughlan there is a form of a written constitution written by dicey and formed of traditional principles and case law. Fairly clear if you know what to read. Just as the USA constitution is in a simple written form, there are additions and case law to support it or adapt it too. Not much difference in reality.
Female leader? Why? I am not against having a woman as leader, but how did it work out for Teresa May and Liz Truss? We have recently seen Jacinda Ardern and Nicola Sturgeon quit because they were tired. Please, choose a female leader if she is the best candidate, but don't choose one just because she is female.
