What Labour's Essex Launch Was Really About
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- Labour have now launched the next stage of their general election campaign. They've nailed down their main promises to the public. But how were those promises chosen, and why did they hold the launch in Essex? And was it a good idea to go before the election has even been called?

Truss and Sunak losing their seats. Happy days.
Let it be so
The stable economy rather than economic growth implicitly is a very green policy. The share market mantra that all companies must continue to increase their profits by a constant amount independent of size is exponential growth, which on a finite planet, is not sustainable. I personally blame America for shifting the emphasis of the *share* market away from dividends to quick share trades of rapidly growing mega companies.
Has ANY privatised public service delivered a better service?
NO
@@barbaraarndt5293 So, it's not just THIS model of privatisation that has failed...it's ALL of them!!
@@dazsmith3201 true. Water 💦? Clean water is a human right.
@@barbaraarndt5293 It is indeed. And providing it is a service to the public. A service that should be ensured by the government. Is failing to provide it a breach of Human Rights?
You could argue BT but that might be more due to the massive change in technology that happened just after it was privatised.
A technical point. Would it be possible for you to boost your volume a bit? When an ad bursts in, the volume instantly doubles, making it hard to listen.
Same problem here.
Turn the volume up for the video then the whole house gets deafened when an ad starts! 😂
@@Rustinho I just stopped listening. It's not too bad on the shorter podcasts, but on these long ones it's just intolerable.
This is happening across UA-cam so I suspect it’s UA-cam boosting the sound on adverts. Phil being louder won’t fix that.
Constantly turning volume up and down not for me either. But this has been said many times and he doesn't fix it.
@@audreymcgready4329 It only seems to be an issue for his Saturday hour long shows. I guess I'll just have to give them a miss! ;)
Al Murray was educated at Bedford School (private school founded in 1552).
Archbishop of Canterbury urges Starmer to ditch ‘cruel’ two-child benefit cap - maybe that could be a good first step
Well, if they can manage it in Scotland. It's a moral choice.
Shouldn't we have a society where people can afford children (or nor), rather than having to give them extra. Rich people don't need the money and poor people shouldnt have to need it. Wages should be higher l care for little ones should be cheap (we subsidise the railways when we could have been subsidising nursery's). Wages should give people enough without subsidies
Shouldn't we have a society where people only have children if they can afford them, rather than expecting to dip into my pocket to support them?
@@frogandspannerSo, what if one of the parents gets cancer long after the birth of the children & can no longer work? No doubt you like to reopen The Work House or even better a Magdalene Laundry Why don’t you just F off

Yes radical keynesianism take the banks as well😊 Have they found the man that disappeared in Rwanda?
Citizens of the U.K. need to wise up . We know what the country needs and we don’t need for politicians to tell us . We would like to know how they will achieve these so called goals.
I would love to see Sunak lose to Count Bin Face. It would be hilarious!! Comedians & Satirists would have a field day! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The prediction i've been hearing is that the independent beats out liz truss for second as well as gifts the sea till later.
How is he going to get the waiting lists down when there aren’t enough Doctors and support services right now, exasperated by Brexit and it takes 7 years to do basic education.
Just as building the temporary hospitals during Covid when there was no spare Doctors and Nurses to staff them.

1:00 jacket off, sleeves rolled up.
I like that.
The PM will announce the GE at the Tory part conference. IMO.
Caroline Nokes spent a whole Channel 4 special about "well theres going to be an Election so lets discuss it" after the Labour pledges (I think it was called the political fourcast)... Not only did she turn up and giving credence to the idea that the election is coming, but also basically endorsing everything Labour said and spent the whole time she was there only using the words "my party" in describing the views she represents. Taking real care not to confirm or deny she was a conservative or attached to the party.
You can get the sound right on normal videos, why is it shite on the long ones?
Nothing to do with the length, it’s the fact it’s live. Watching later on after it’s uploaded there’s no issue.
Weirdly, the Labour social live doesn’t have the same issue, wonder if it’s a software / channel thing
@@MiningForPiesLabour Social does sometimes have sound issues too, one video last week was plagued with sound issues to the point where it was unwatchable.
My father in law is still looking for Ceefax
Maybe he could ask Count Binface?
Another quality yet quiet whisper-stream tonight
It's maximum volume I'm afraid, so you'd need to turn up at your end.
Np here
Fine here to
It's fine when you turn the volume up until an ad starts and deafens everyone in the house. (And probably next door too!)
I found listening live there's often poorer sound quality than after the finished video fully uploaded
Why's that‽‽‽
Theresa May launched the 2017 campaign from Halifax, a Labour town.
So it isn't unprecedented.

Thanks for all the ads Phil 😬
I think Rishi got carried away with himself saying he wouldn't take back asylum seekers from Ireland. Brexit has left my 6 counties on edge and left the Tories rudderless because the more people and goods travel easily across Ireland the more it angers some Unionists, whereas Nationalist politicians could fear a more permanent border to stop asylum seekers and that would rip up the Good Friday Agreement.
Time for a border poll
@@Bbq7272 Honestly a difficult one for me; as a republican all my instincts say have a poll and get unity but the reality of what would happen beyond the vote is about as clear as Brexit was !!
@EamonCoyle can't say i know either. Maybe Ireland gets a new constitution with ulster as a national minority with rights enshrined but the existing dail as supreme
@@radicallyrethinkingrailwaysina I would love my 6 counties to be given an opportunity at full autonomy even for a short while but I don't trust the politicians to make it work. Given your name I will add that our rail network amongst other things needs expanded and updated. More generally I think Northern Ireland needs to demonstrate it can be a productive contributor to a united country otherwise we will not enter into it as an equal !!
A thought has just occurred to me regarding a stealth rise in income tax. Before the Labour Government of the 1960's the Family Aloowance was nil for the first child, 8 shillings ( 40p) for the second child and 10 shillings (50p) for the third and subsequent child. This was paid to the mother. The father received a tax allowance for each child thus their tax payable was reduced. Many mother's did not receive the benefit of this tax reduction. So it was deemed a good idea to remove the tax benefit from the father and pay it to the mother weekly. Indeed a higher 🎉Child Benefit Payment was made for the first child and a lower one for subsequent children. The new payment payable to the mother was to ensure that the child would be more likely to receive the benefit of both Family Allowance and Tax Allowance. By removing child benefit after the second child the Tories have not only removed the Family Allowance Payment but the Tax Allowance as well. As I said yet another tax by stealth.
I want to thank unclesocial for drawing attention to George Monbiot's article on the private sector in social services......something better change!
KS initially looks like a lamppost 🤔
Private water companies pretty much assett stripped a national services
Has any of the businesses like Virgin delivered either?. How much did you pay for your last train ticket? Were you satisfied with the service and the jouney? Both have been tried in the past. But I still am not sure that allowing busineses to run wild works either. Many seem to see this as an open door to charge high but deliver low. If some things go back to state ownership at least there may some sort of accoutability. I dont know. I do know the public cant keep having a hand round their throat either with things like transport. Transport is a big thing because fares are a nightmare for many people. There are so many things that are run privately that arent delivering. Energy is a major concern weather you're an elderly person or a couple with children or business everything depends on energy. The public end up paying twice once when pay their bills again when they pay increased costs for cloths for their kids and many other things.
The recent days the water is another concern about private enterprise. They kept quiet about what needed to be done. A country like Britain should not be in a place where people have to boil water. Because the companies dont care about people. Its all about cost.
The tories might never get in again.
As with Starmer coming to my constituency at the election campaign? Well there's a slight issue about that he's an Arsenal fan and most of my constituency supports Tottenham but we're polite people we didn't have a problem with Corbyn (who's also an Arsenal fan) coming to my constituency in 2019 so I will think Starmer is welcome to come around my constituency.
Football fans are horrendous people generally. Imagine claiming kudos due to the actions of others.
Usually glued to the videos Phil presents but I gave up on this one because the video and sound quality was so poor.
More like the Labour Social videos than the usually good quality A Different Bias videos.
he has to earn his starmer HQ checks, I've been saying that for a long time, he's been pretty terrible for about 1.25 years, and epically bad the last 7 months. that is if you're referring to the content and not the audio quality.
@@saeedhossain6099 yet here you are. I find when I strongly oppose a channels output I stop watching. Life’s to short to be crying about someone one UA-cam putting forward ideas you disagree with.
Nothing on the housing crisis, or on child poverty. Mind you, if appealing to English Tories is your strategy - and, sadly, a UK GE requires it - why mention either of those issues?
True, I'd say that anyone on the fence at this point, couldn't give a sh*t about child poverty
I’m sorry somethings are beyond your comprehension. Preaching to the converted will leave you where corbyn left you, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside because you focused on the elements that don’t get you elected.
Total number of people who’s lives where improved by the corbyn administration: 0
Total lives improved when Blair and his more centrist Labour Party took power in 1997: millions.
I know which outcome I prefer 👍
So Natalie Elphicke wants to reduce homelessness (or at least says she does... for the sake or argument lets assume that isn't just a campaign stance taken by a wealthy Tory who's never had to worry about homelessness but lives in a consistency where a big concern of voters is "I can't get a council house but I see you paying for immigrants to get hotel rooms) and lets also assume that one policy issue isn't just being totally blown up out of proportion to make it look like she has something in common with Labour compared to all her other horrible views that are fundamentally in disagreement... Why does Labour need to pay HER after the election and not the dozens of other people who probably have more experience with the issue and also had their views ignored by the government? Yes take a scalp from the Tory's with the defection but this one wasn't worth it and i'd drop her ASAP rather than give her a cushy safe consulting job, spend that money perhaps on someone who was actually homeless?
If Starmer could say with fire in his belly how labour would have managed the economic pressures differently in the last 2 years. The public would feel more trust & more inspired and begin to believe he can move the country in the right direction The Labour Party needs to highlight the mistakes the Tories made in the last 14 years. It's not enough to just point at Lettuce Truss who was more critical of Trussonomics than Sunak
Why would the public trust a man who has dumped all his promises as soon as convenient?
Labour tried that. Be too obvious and you loose the election because most of the electorate believe the lie that the tories are good economic stewards.
Best be sneaky like Blair and bring things in when you’re actually elected.
Closet tory Starmer
1:02:20 i'm for minimum wage, which is too low anyway, but that argument is pretty weak and incoherent. Needs work.
1. As vague as you can get.
2. Same as Tories.
3. Wrong strategy.
4. Good.
5. No details.
6. Only 6,500?
So you just read the lines not the details they presented on each point.
@@EdJames-tb9oz There are over 24000 schools just in England an extra 6,500 is about 0.2 something extra teachers per school.
@@taipizzalord4463 The aim (not in government so not a pledge) is for 6500 new teachers. That's over the current numbers so it is still a increase. It is also a initial aim. It's not a target for 2030. Nothing is stopping a government from achieving a initial aim and improving on it. (Yes I know that's the opposite approach that the Tories have recently been taking but that is not the normal for any government. Usually they build on the past not have constant resets)
Contrary to media coverage not all schools are badly staffed. The staffing shortage is not a even spread across the country.
Deliver economic stability with tough spending rules, so we can grow our economy and keep taxes, inflation and mortgages Starmer is indeed the 'change candidate' he has moved from Labour to Conservative ' Stability is change’ is the worst slogan any political party could adopt especially when the reality of the current ‘stability ‘is so crap for so many people
I think the worst slogan might be "Vote Labour - because we're all Tories now."
That said, it'll work with English voters who want to vote Tory but don't want to feel bad about it.
Cool, go vote reform if you prefer unfunded promises of nationalisations we can’t afford.
Really respect you but Starmer has renegaded so so much. 😢
It’s like a bad fake bad reply of Blairism!
I was actually excited by his (Blair’s) campaign, their was an optimism & some good policies.
But Starmers Labour will not get my vote.
It seems proposals are empty, i will vote Greens or a Progressive Independent because they seem to be the only options at the moment.
I was supporting Electoral Reform under Labour but i don’t think I can vote for them now-sorry 😢😢😢

Yes migrants get a £3,000 paid holiday in Rwanda what’s not to like
It's a pity that the labour grandees disagree with you on who they would or wouldn't accept into the Labour fold. One of whom says he would welcome Jacob Reece-Smug. Labour could easily get the housing/mental health advice from people who are eminently more qualified.
Did he though?
@@ffotograffydd Yes!
@@mickreaddin4979 Did he though?
@@ffotograffydd The answer is still the same.
@@mickreaddin4979 Do you have any evidence of that?
Parliamentary dress code applies to men. Women (surprise, surprise) have a much looser dress code.
I recall Zarah Sultana wearing a t-shirt under an open jacket with a slogan on it.
Would like to see a male MP being afforded the same latitude
That’s what’s eating you up?
You must be living a blessed life.
With the complete clown show that we have currently that’s what’s bothering you?
And anyway I just checked the Parliament website and there isn’t a separate dress code for men and women, it simply states the following:
“…The dress of Members these days is generally that which might ordinarily be worn for a fairly formal business transaction...”
So it’s up to the Speaker to call out people if they aren’t wearing clothing “which might ordinarily be worn for a fairly formal business transaction.” Women aren’t getting preferential treatment.
Admitting you can’t achieve the full extent of your political agenda due to economic circumstances lets the Tories off the hook! Surely they can claim the same- it's not their fault they have been so awful
Agreed and it's also objectively complete bs. Increase VAT and corporation tax and levy a 1-2% wealth tax on shares and you'll raise tens of billions. And that assumes you don't get growth going.
I'm afraid Labour are just using it as an excuse because they aren't going to change much. "Stability is change" 🤦♂️ literally telling you they aren't going to do anything substantial.
Lack of imagination from Red Tory Starmer.
Scotland already has massive renewable power generation sources plus given the Scottish Government was until recently in Govt coalition with the Greens.
Plus it was the Tory Govt who have expanded oil drilling licenses plus UK govt control energy policy so I don’t get that you think the SNP wouldn’t be happy with Green energy NFP company given that Scottish Water nationalised company is NFP plus they have deliberately (and not from desperation) renationalised ScotRail from

Dear God man, sort your audio out, your level is about a fifth of the adverts.
It was junk
Third of voters believe Starmer was wrong to let Elphicke into Labour party
Only a third. The remaining two thirds must be barmy
How's Moscow this time of year, Noel?
If Elphicke supports Labour and votes for Labour policies, then what's the problem?
Source? Was this from a reputable survey company or just pulled from…?
@@brachiator1 I think people just don't like defectors it never ends well for them
Genocide supporter, Starmer.

Labour are making excuses because they are Labour in name only. Nationalising utilities costs nothing. If you buy a company for x billion, you now have an x billion asset on your balance sheet. It nets out.
Second, you will make money because most are listed and so poorly run there is only upside - step 1: set up public investment fund. step 2: quietly accumulate shares below fair value over time until you own a controlling / majority stake. Step 3: turn around company. Step 4: reap gains. Step 5: reinvest in more public services.
Very true. Buy or create a public asset - but make sure it is efficient and needed - and you will have the value of the asset and the income it generates. And make sure the staff are well enough paid and treated to make sure the unions make a positive contribution and don't tear it down like the 1970s. The damage done by that era cast a multi decade shadow which kept Labour out till the 1990s and even then, only a tepid version.
Step 1: stop using taxpayer's money to subsidise shareholder dividends. 2. Sit back watch Water Inc collapse overnight. 3. Deal with fallout / class actions 4. Buy comp for £1.
They're LINO. 🙂 Starmer's slogan should be "Vote Labour - because we're all Tories now".
And when the markets crash because they don’t like nationalisation, and people’s pensions become worthless you can sit there happy in your eternal poverty and bemoan reality not reflecting the fact things don’t work the way you’d like them too.
Companies are not actually worth anything, it’s a Ponzi scheme based on projected future profits. As a nationalised industry doesn’t generate profit per se, the value isn’t a one to one conversion.
@@alanconway94 go vote reform if unfunded spending on nationalisation is what you want 👍
Employment rights? A lot of the voting population are retired or self-employed, give ye head a wobble
It doesn't matter what Starmer promises, he has shown that he can't be relied upon to see it through.
This
Absolutely, he hasn't implemented a single one of his policies yet. Mind you, he hasn't been able to by being elected to government yet...
You're kidding, right? 🤦♀️
It’s this level of stupidity that allows conservatives to keep being elected. Unless Starmer actually gets elected, then complaining that he hasn’t “seen through” anything is moronic.
