The way the Labour Party treated Corbyn & what Starmer has turned Labour into, disgusts me.
Binned my labour party membership when he was elected, could see him from a mile away for what he stands
Yes, but it was the media that put the knife into Corbyn first. The media had the power to deny the electorate the chance of voting for a genuine left of centre candidate. There is no fighting it. That is what is disgusting
Please go and vote tory....
You only win from the centre.
@@xavierhucklenbruch1798 It's not a binary, vote for whoever your local MP is that best aligns with your values. Tory or Labour or Green or Lib-Dem or some Independent candidate, hold them accountable to raise your issues in the parliment.
Tony Blair should be in jail with Bush..
Never forget Howard from Australia.
No. Not jail.
Hand him over to the families of the victims that warcriminal slaughtered. Lets see what happens. With Cameras.
Yep, and Barrack Drone Bomber
And Johnson and his cronies too.
blair lives in tel aviv
So a mass murdering war criminal isn't keen on ending child poverty!
Imagine that?
Well said
Yes
@@capt.bart.roberts4975.. and corrupt
100%.
He has his own method of ending poverty, create an illegal war and murder 3 million poor people
Whenever I see Corbyn on the telly saying obviously right and sensible and moral things my heart fckin breaks. The chance was right there in front of us and the sociopaths came and stole it.
Murdock.
Correct! Murdoch goes after people that oppose his ideology and murders them in his rotten newspapers. Politicians are afraid of him and try to do deals with him like Blair in 1996. Here in Australia he learned the art and has been like an incurable cancer since the1970’s. Don’t ever trust him, he can turn in an instant.
@@robbrewer2036 if corbyn is so good then why labour lost big in 2019. his progressive policies are not in touch with majority of britons.
@@arpandas2296and the tories' regressive policies are better for the average brit? Open your eyes, the country is absolutely screwed! It could do with a major shakeup
@@Digggyyyyy The comment is a copy and paste. It's a troll.
Labour and the Conservatives should become one party and call it 'Rupert Murdoch's Garden Party'
I've spent my whole life in a Labour voting family hating the tories. Right now it looks like the Fabian Society are brutally murdering the Labour Party. Labour doesn't exist anymore. This lot are Fabians & they'll make the tories look like kittens.
Blair is Murdoch 's kid's godfather, after all
About right now unfortunately
you wordsmith of a commentator brother
B & M sounds like a bargain shop. But both of em couldn't CREATE a bargain if hell froze over.
REFORM UK & TICE FOR EVERYBODY'S VOTE PLEASE
We live in the worst timeline, where Corbyn is vilified while blair is lauded
Okay, we thought at the time it was a good thing. Okay it went tits up. But that was then and this is now, look forward and get active.
@@SuzanneO707 Try telling that to the families of the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis!
@@davidparry5310 Thats what I was referring to. What I meant was, a Labour Administration was a breath of fresh air and people voted for them with good intentions. The Iraq Invasion and the aftermath was a disaster, but initially, it was mainly supported across all parties at the time. Awful thing as well, it cast a dark shadow on some of the progressive achievements.
I'm not suggesting that we should forget that and not making excuses for Blair.
We have to look forward at the same time now. Personally, I think calibre of leaders is important, but there's way too much shallow emphasis on personality and image. The negative, baseless, sniping and lack of vision in the polical arena , is soul crushing to be honest. It makes my head hurt. I didn't see Corbyn, Blair or any other leader as the awnser to all my prayers. I vote out of my core beliefs and principles and because I want to see real change, at the same time you have to be realistic about the way things are at the moment.
Corbyn was the best PM we never had, and I don't even vote Labour 😂😂 we would have came through covid with much richer coffers as he wouldn't have ripped of the taxpayers to fill the bank accounts oh his rich mates
@trixiek942 , how do you know that? one thing is for certain Corbyn wouldnt have dragged us in to bombing the snot out of innocent people abroad thus ending refugees.
It amazes me how they can easily find trillions to spend on war and other crap but the minute you ask them to make a financial commitment to helping the most impoverished people in society, then there's never anything left for that. 😡😡😡
War makes a return for the interests that own the political system. Helping the most impoverished people reduces the wealth of those interests..
its that magical money tree again
War makes wealthy men richer
I've said it before and i will say it again, Jeremy Corbyn is the best PM we will never have, because of our disgraceful far right, lying media
It's the whole establishment to be honest.
Corbyn was attacked by his own party. 😢
Exactly! He was someone we needed but never got.. for the many not the few
"our disgraceful far right, lying media" 😂 Yet another person still viewing the world through a long passed and defunct paradigm, and therefore completely unable to view reality as it is. I bet you think that the 'BBC' stands for 'Boris's Broadcasting Company', right? 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@Thegreycomrade Corbyn was just a 'Poundshop' Russell Brand! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Always money for war!
Corbyn is too polite towards Starmer and Blair.
He's a gentleman.
Biggest missed opportunity of my generation
Polite kind and a gentlemen.
No place for people of good in these parties nowadays .
@@Sbudre Or a total berk - depending on your point of view.
There is no shortage of money; it's just in the wrong place. Jeremy is absolutely right to call this out.
Right. Nobody's talking about this. They say we need to tax the rich.
We do.
But first they can stop stealing our damn money.
Private jet fuel should have a high tax on it !
We have 2mil millionaires - that's where the money is. Good job on the Spanish for going for that.
@@Superfantastictop10what happens is middle class ie my family we get taxed combined 70% of our income excluding NI
@@Superfantastictop10 "But first they can stop stealing our damn money." 🤣 Such a childish 'Marxist' view of economics. Jeez, read a book. I suggest 'Economic Facts and Fallacies': Thomas Sowell, just for a start!
I hope Jeremy Corbyn stands in Islington North, as an independent, and gets a landside victory. Stuff Starmer.
I hope so, too😊
Well, what Corbyn said about Blair, should have been told ages ago.
He is bn saying it but the regular will not allow that to come out, they call it CENSORED. It's a gang up both state, media and capitalist
remember folks, there's money for Ukraine, but none for the kids here. Sorry! there's money for the weapons and the aircraft carriers, but none for our kids! there's money for useless test and trace, billions and billions! and refurbishing Westminster, 7 billion at best, but sorry folks.. cant afford to support our children..
All the truth you need to know in a coupla sentences
I think you mean "cant afford to feed THEIR children"
Sums it up perfectly.
They can find money for anything they want whenever they want it. It's like football tactics. You can play attacking football or defensive football. It's all down to the managers preference. This is a deliberate strategy to appeal to Tory voters. To say it's about finances is a barefaced lie. And they have the cheek to go on and on about how Boris is a liar.
You hit bulls eye!
Absolutely on cue with your point!
Blair was not a millionaire when he entered Number 10... he was a multimillionaire when he left. Maybe he was just fiscally prudent with his ministerial salary. I'm sure there was no palm-greasing from the millionaire class that his term in office served so well.
That's the case for almost every leader worldwide. Also, recall that leaders don't need to spend a large part of their salaries when in office as most of their activities are paid for. Plus he was part of a two income household. Your point is therefore nothing to see literally.
You forgot the sarcasm font...
@@Sbudre cos the bribes they were promised while in office is paid for after they leave office.
that's how they whitewash their criminal activity.
goldman sachs morgan Stanley pay millions and millions for ex British prime ministers to give 15min speeches where they say nothing to their workers once a year.
you think that isn't a bribe? no business is that stupid to pay millions for 15min of clichés they can find on UA-cam.
and in return blair ensures keir starmer will do the same. and boris Johnson will do the same with sunak.
and so on.
@@Sbudre I might be wrong, but I'm guessing you either weren't around pre-Thatcher or you've forgotten how it was. Thatcher was the first to quite blatantly use her time in office to accumulate wealth through arms deals brokered through her son, Mark (Time To Pay Mumsie) Thatcher. Prior to her, when a Prime Minister lost an election, they went back to the benches and continued to serve their constituencies... both Labour and Conservative. Whether you agreed with their ideologies or not, they were committed to politics. Thatcher started the 'make-your-pile-and-run' approach that has been followed by every politician since with the obvious exceptions of Brown and Corbyn. Once Sunak is out of office, he won't be seen in Parliament again.

It’s always so nice just to listen to Corbyn talk sense
if corbyn is so good then why labour lost big in 2019. his progressive policies are not in touch with majority of britons.
@@arpandas2296because he doesn't grease the palms of the media owning class. The media was out for him from the off, and the parliamentary party was not interested in supporting him, they are fully marketing drones.
@@stevecarter8810 He is copying and pasting the same "if corbyn is so good" comment onto every thread - Couldn't even be bothered to use ChatGPT smh. You're right though.
I remember when Blair was P.M. and he would often preface a policy with: "when in power you have to make difficult decisions", this was a synonym for " screw the poor".
Except his Gvt lifted many people , especially children out of poverty .
@@scooby1992Novara Media and its listeners don't like to remember that part.
Despite the fact that whenever they talk about the state of the country, it is almost always "XXX has become so much worse in the last 13 years"
As much as I am a Socialist nae near Communist at heart, I can see the only way of Labour becoming electable is to appeal to the centre ground.
I do wish Keir Starmer would have left the door slightly more open on these issues with Kids school dinners and the Benefits cap though. This hard line does seem like an own goal.
@@scooby1992 And it threw loads more into poverty.
@@decentman3181 Did it ?
@@aHumanCookiee Sometimes Aaron and Michael do praise the Labour record in Government , but it does come across as grudgingly . Problem is there has never and will never be a perfect Gvt . The Blair and Brown Gvts included , but I would take either of them over the complete shit show we have had with the tories since 2010 . In fairness to May and Cameron they were head and shoulders above the last three Downing Street incumbents . A Corbyn Gvt would have been great , I support the vast majority of what he believed , but he was just too idealistic , not a bad trait to have , but most of the voters just werent going to go for him .
The Labour Party are not The Labour Party.
Deep. Well not really.
What is then the Corbyn party? Laughable.
It looks like they've moved even beyond the 'New Labour' third way rhetoric, of Blairs era, and are just locked into a neo-liberal fiscal and social outlook. Somewhere to the right of the Liberals and in amongst the left wing of the Torys.
Its similar with the labour party here in New Zealand.
@@phillydavison Tory v Tory light (again). Good news for the corporations!
I can’t tell Labour and the Tories apart anymore 😢
So you're happy for the Tories to win the next general election?
Finally, someone someone starts, just starts, to get a glimpse of the reality of the 'Uni-Party'.
I can. Starver's 'Labour' party is the same as the Tories on policy, but nastier and more disregarding of the law. Look at the way Labour treat their own members.
@@decentman3181ooooo Starver that’s good
That's because Keith's labour are the tory b team.
You've heard this before; I didn't leave Labour, Labour left me.
Yes , they did.
Expecting decency from Blair and his Padwan Kier Starmer is like expecting kindness from a pair of Cobras
J.C talking sense as usual.
Nice, credible rebuttal.
Go on Jeremy tell it as it is.
🤣
Kier Starmer lives the Tory dream!
if corbyn is so good then why labour lost big in 2019. his progressive policies are not in touch with majority of britons.
Can't we all agree that Tony Blair has been fully discredited. Public finance initiatives have caused a real mess. Iraq..
I've always voted Labour, my whole life, but under Starmer, the Labour party has been purged of ALL it's left credentials, and a vote for Labour now is a vote for Tory lite. Screw that
He's terrible. No vision, no sense of social justice, no charisma. Nothing. I don't know why he's even there.
@@SbudreI think he's working on the basis that for the majority of centrist voters, he's not a Conservative, and after 14 years of Tory failure, he can just sit back and let them self-destruct. Not rocking the boat is the basic theme of the current Labour Party: nothing too radical, just be the political equivalent of Coldplay, or lettuce.
@@slashnburn9234 that is true. But still, he needs to work on messaging. He could attack what the Tories are doing and not promise anything. Most politicians are able to do that. I also get that he knows that the left is fragmented (Greens, SNP etc) so he needs to steal votes from the Tories to win a good majority, I get his calculus. But he should not risk doing so at the expense of the labour base. A bird in the hand...
So who's going to get your vote, The New Socialists?
@@Sbudre He's there, because the establishment want him there. Simples!
It’s appalling that Jeremy won’t be able to defend his seat as a Labour Party candidate in the next election.
But great that he now has free reign to expose the hypocritical establishment goons with his calm steady presence.
😠 There is no ‘Labour’ Party anymore. Only the name remains. What there is, is a New Nasty Party emulating the Old Nasty Party. And one person whose ambition for power is out of control. Sir Kid Starver will make Britain an authoritarian and autocratic dictatorship 😢.
Starkers doing a great job of forcing popular labour politicians to go independent
He will. Just as an independent. And I hope he bloody well wins. I'd love to see the look on Keith's face.
I don't think it's appalling. I think it's marvellous. Finally free of the dead hand of Labour and its long history of betrayal.
Labour sounds just like the cons. No difference! Then we have JC talking utter sense! Novaria media you keep me sane! Thanks
If anyone wants to see how the devil would look like if he was a man then just look at T.Blair
I totally agree with you. If anyone looked like a haunted skull with dead eyes Blair is it.
I refuse to vote for labour. Never never never. Both parties are bottom barrel
It's a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
I agree 👍
Join a union abolish the state.
The Left will never be able to fiendishly use democracy to take over the Labour party again, so I don't imagine I'll ever vote Labour again either
I 100% understand this feeling, it is a desperately sad situation. but- they, are. not. the same. I'm not saying labour are any better, but I am saying the tory's are definitely worse. but good luck to you, it is rough all over.
"He is a very wealthy man so he would be worried about taxes" That was a one hit KO
A wealthy man taking a dig at a very wealthy man.
@@SpencerF6 Don't tell me you believe the myth about Corbyn being a millionaire!
I doubt very much that Blair is worried about levels of income tax.
@@davidparry5310he may be classes as millionaire because the area his house in has been gentrified and is now worth a lot more than when he bought it like 40+ years but thats it
Jeremy Corbyn's net worth is 3 million. Pot, kettle black.
Claw back the misallocated Covid billions. That will fund an awful lot. Kier was a prosecutor, most of these cases can't be too hard to prove. Let Michelle Mone lose a yacht and feed some kids, doesn't seem like a hard choice.
'Austerity has destroyed the economy and taken 330,000 British lives before their time, so we need more Austerity'
Corbyn is the reasonable one here. Hope he wins his seat again as an independent. Why people still consult Blair on anything is on par with why people still consult Farage on anything.
Apples and nuts. Blair made one critical mistake. Just one. He was on the balance an incredibly talented leader. Garage is a tool.
@@Sbudre Don't be ridiculous. Blair was bad for Britain from start to finish. From closing down industries to trying to give Gibraltar to the Spanish to selling off British assets such as BAA to foreigners to kowtowing to Israel to PFI to selling off school playing fields...
Farage is just a cheap little conman.
@@Sbudre Not really. Blair ushered in an era of corrupt politics which is still in its full swing and rapidly expanding today. Think of the Hutton whitewash for starters. And the cash for honours. His "incredible talent" did absolutely nothing for the world when heading the peace mission in the Middle East at a critical time, because of his lack of principles. In the end the diplomatic post amounted to no more than an easy way for him to avoid legal investigations for the cash for honours. The optics was that the friends he made on the world stage got together to gift him a high diplomatic status which ended the Met's criminal investigation. Since then the Met has turned into this undisguised stooge of the government of the day. He, as a matter of default behaviour, took so many short cuts, that those short cuts get normalized and we have this incredibly corrupt politics (and business, and society, etc.) today. It is right that he now has zero reputation to speak of after sullying his own good name hard-earned from such colossal achievements as the GFA.
@@Sbudre a long way from the truth.
@@jgmediting7770 but yet you chose not to offer any counter arguments whatsoever

While filling up his pockets.
@@b00ts4ndc4ts Starmer is treating the electorate for fools. It's as clear as day he's using fiscal rules as an excuse to implement right wing polices.

No he didn't. Stop being overly dramatic. Save for Iraq, he was the last good prime minister you had. Stop lying to yourself.
Fiscal responsibility....Tax and punish the poorest...No tax for Blair and Kid Starver!
Little known but very revealing fact: Tony Blair is godfather to Grace Murdoch, the second youngest of Rupert Murdoch's six children.
Funny how for years they said oh no there is no money for that but when it comes to Ukraine or Illegal Immigrants there is plenty of money.
Didn't May find a whole forrest of money trees when she bought off the Ulster Unionists for 5 billion?
That’s because Labour and Tories are one and the same
Labies.

Quite so!
Red and blue Tories.
Not quite. Different factions, same side. Namely Capital. The Leftist Liberal faction.The lesser of the two evils in that they will throw a few more crumbs people’s way whilst fundamentally still serving and protecting capital interests. The Tories don’t bother with the crumbs.
Rich men patting other rich men on the back for keeping poor kids in poverty!

I've been struggling with that for a while now. As bad as the Tories are, hard to see how Keir 'the weasel' Starmer will be any better. Pretty much a race to the bottom for both parties.

Diversionary tactics .
@@scooby1992 Good point.
Sir Kid Starver cannot be trusted
No one starves children except their parents. Feeding, clothing, and providing for your children is your job as a parent. Not the state or the taxpayer. Imagine a world where people took accountability for their decisions.
@laurav.7241 that would be fine if those in power did not build up a huge debt specifically to control us with. In your view, what then is the purpose of government?
But Boris Johnson was seen as trustworthy at the time on the run-up to the 2019 general election and look what happened afterwards. The ones that seem to have that gravitational pull to begin with as if they're the natural choice always turn to be the worst.
I resented Jeremy at the time because I thought he made the party "unelectable". I've reversed that opinion. If he came back I would vote for him. But as it stands, I'm voting green. Maybe it's a protest vote but Starmer is a red tory. Austerity mark 2.
That's what you were repeatedly told by the media and people within the Labour Party. The Boris bashing only started once Corbyn had gone. If they'd done that before Corbyn might have won the election.
Same. The electorate needs to tactically vote outside the usual binary of Tory/Labour for any chance of change
Funny because you are just like my country Australia but a few years behind, we voted conservative when our labour party had good policy. Now our labour policies are giving $320 B of tax cuts and nothing happens with the excuse of "you voted for this". Good luck UK you are doomed.
It’s always a choice between capital and labour. Corbyn was a mistake by capital, and you saw their reaction since. It was the only political opportunity to vote for labour instead of capital in over 50 years. We won’t get that choice again.
Reform !
One of the biggest problems we have is that the Conservatives are so SHOCKINGLY bad right now that they've got terrible polling. Labour has inherited many Tory votes and, as a result, is now sitting at around 20 points head of the Cons. This isn't because traditional labour voters actually -want- Starmer....more like they have no choice because there's not alternative. However, when given a choice between the current Tories or the Red Tories, they end up saying "Well, we don't want the current Tories" and, thus, Starmer's "labour" has a stupid poll lead that doesn't really represent how people actually feel about him.
With that lead, he can pretty much do exactly what the establishment wants him to....more of the same....more Blairism.
A recent poll by YouGov actually put Corbyn ahead of Blair and Starmer in terms of popularity of current/past Labour leaders....in fact, he's currently polling as the most popular. With that in mind, it's clear that Starmer's Labour isn't popular because of his policies but, rather, because he's "not the Tories". Corbyn actually being AHEAD in that polling data is a huge message from the public....but, unfortunately, Starmer has made it near impossible for anyone like Corbyn to get near any kind of leadership challenge.
And yet this policy seems to be popular on the electoral. Children will always be the future. I find it ridiculous when I hear politicians saying they will make tough decisions. It usually mean vulnerable will suffer, in this case children. Good luck to us all. But then we deserve what we vote for.
The policy is not popular in Scotland, and Labour's only Scottish MP is going to lose his seat at the next GE. Starver needs at least 30 Scottish Westminster seats to win a GE 30 seats he won't get.
Agree. I hate the term 'tough decisions' - whenever a politician uses it, you know it's just a euphemism for 'screw the poor'.
We deserve what we vote for ?
Yes ,
and no .......
Where is the " Corbyn Party " ?
I knew it was going to go like this the moment the backlash started. The obvious thing to do, having been proved to be on the wrong side of this argument, would have been to say, "I got this wrong. It's £1.4bn; of course we can promise that, and I am promising it now." But... Kier's pride, though. What if they call him Mr. Flip-Flop? Can't have that. If it's a choice between kids living in misery or Kier's ego, the ego wins. Sorry (not sorry), kids.
And as always, he gives the worst answer possible: that he'll be "happy to look at it", when the commitment to trickle-down economics policies bear fruit. When refusing to taxing the rich makes a large enough budget, somehow. I despise him more than I despise any Tory. Tories are what they are, but they never stole a party.
Does the Kid Starver have pride / ego / emotion? I can't see him showing any of that. He's assassinating the Labour Party without a hint of emotion, remorse, etc.
@@Lee_303 Yeah, maybe "ego" isn't the right word. Perhaps "status" or "image" would be more accurate.
When are people going to wake up to all politicians??,they all talk about making tough choices yet they take every chance they get to line their own pockets
doesn't want to make promises that he couldn't keep. You mean like when he ran for leadership that kind of promising.
I see your point, but the core proposition is sound. Its justification may look cowardly, but it does make sense.
Corbyn as usual, makes sense. I really admire him.
It is cowardliness. It lacks a political savvy in it's communication. But ultimately it's a proposal that lacks vision and fresh approach. Keir Starmer sucks.
Fiscal stability translates to pandering to the few at the expense of the many
what's the point of saving if you don't use that money when/where you need to?
The whole system is designed to suck all the wealth into fewer and fewer hands . It's working very well .
There is a million souls waiting for you Tony.
Tony Blair, the war criminal has to stand before the Creator of the Heavens and Earth, one day. On that day he will not be able to LIE his way out.
No Government has ever fully costed any policy. 😊
Blair is the UK's Bill Clinton
They both murdered half a million Iraqi toddlers via sanctions.
@@jcolwill Actually that would be GW Bush during Iraq War 2. Clinton oversaw the Serbian war in the 1990s
Worse
Blair bought a house with offshore fund to avoid stamp duty, he clearly avoids tax by choice despite having millions !
So so much worse than Clinton and why he was never truly called to account for his actions is an absolute travesty
Get theses Tories out of the Labour Party.
people don't need better paid jobs. Jobs need better pay.
'I'm totally opposed to all the Tory policies. But somehow I'm still OK with keeping them in place and not criticising them'
Blair. 'On our bloody screens every other week'. Not on my screen, I don't watch tv so the only place I've seen Tony was here.
Does time out of the spotlight = redemption? Guess not.

@@scooby1992 Which ever way u cut it,this country is screwed,Corbyn was the last chance to salvage something!
@@scooby1992 Is there any doubt now after Labour decided to go with Tory two children policy ?
Keir Starmer says stop whining about being poor because your only other option is the conservatives and they don't care about you either.
There is always money for tax breaks to shareholders and millionaires.Yet there is no money for hungry children. As for benefit fraud, tax avoidance costs £1.2bn most years
and there is19 billion in unclaimed benefits each year.
The fact is that Labour is doing what it believes will make it a credible party of government amongst the wealthy and influential. Meanwhile they pursue deeply unfair social and economic policies that will harm the poor. Their mistake is that the wealthy and influential will always support the Tories no matter how awful they are, while the working poor and poor will be massively turned off of Labour and this will mean that Labour will be popular only in inverse proportion to the unpopularity of the Tories and will not be able to call any shots themselves!
Well done Jeremy. Millionaire blair, "dont tax my money"
And lets not forget, benefit money gets spent locally, it goes into local economies and actually funds growth. It doesn't get stashed away in tax haven banks.
The question should always be ‘do the resources exist’ not ‘how will we fund it’. If the answer to the former is ‘yes’ then the answer to the latter can be found.
You just have to answer one question: why is there poverty at all when the country is so rich? The whole point, ostensibly, of focusing on economic growth, is to lift people out of poverty. Yet after exponential growth in productivity, the poor are still poor.
There is enough money , it is just in the wrong hands .
@@scooby1992 Wealth hidden away, asset stripping.
The point of focusing on economic growth is to protect the mechanisms which create such growing inequality in the first place. Fix the fundamental issue and the need for constant growth goes away
@@jgmediting7770 True , but how the system currently works is that as the economy grows and businesses become more successful they pay more tax . A growing economy is good for public services .
@@scooby1992 So any government interested in actually addressing the issues with the current system should be doing so instead of giving it the usual rhetoric around growth to protect that current system. Doing that would also create far more growth any way, and in a much more beneficial way for society. Corbyn’s labour is the only main party I’ve seen in my lifetime that had economic policies designed to do just that. Hence the establishment having a fit.
It’s not about actual growth, it’s about protecting the economic and political power of a minority group. Starmer’s Labour will never address growing inequality. They’ll continue to accelerate it and allow a far right government to come to power as a result. Game over. Unlike a century ago, this time they win.
These aren’t normal times. It’s a huge inflection point. The capitalist system cannot survive without becoming ever more authoritarian. Even if they use UBI to prop that power structure up a little longer, it’s just kicking the can down the road. There is no long term recovery. The internal conflicts within capitalism are becoming increasingly unmanageable, like any system with such conflicts inevitably do.
Let's all vote Green and get these clowns out of office
It wont happen under FPTP . Too many centre left and further left voters can be represented by three or four different parties where as the right wing voters are more or less taken by the tories . That is why we have Tory Gvts despite more people voting against them than for them .

jon-lad Spoken like an anarchist , in the true sense of the word . Real grass democracy and the ending of illegitimate , unmerited authority is what we should be demanding .
Imagine being invited to a bash held by The Labour Party?
"We didn't promise crisps, lager, wine, spirits or music - or hope or fun." VOTE FOR US!!!!
Champagne and caviar most likely .
Jeremy is the conscience of Britain and the call of the masses. Bravo! Thanks!
I am not a great fan of Jeremy, but I do think he would make an excellent Lord Mayor of London.
denying support for families to do little more than replace their own numbers?
keep all the foreigners out while you're at it?
sounds like managed decline mate. _palliative care._
I don't know what's worse to worry about - either they haven't got a plan/clue _at all_ or that they have, and it's so bleak I can't even imagine it
Wes Streeting literally put out a news article stating that 'false hope is worse than no hope'. Starmer and the Labour Right know exactly what they are doing.
We don’t need a ladder, we need a higher minimum wage.
Well said what if everybody by some miracle got a better job society would not function even the brain surgeon needs and must have a spotless clean theatre to work in. Society would collapse coz it's all inter linked.
We've all heard the phrase the definition of insanity is repeating the same actions over and over again & expecting a different result, it shocks me how labour can say there going to base there run at the seat of power on fiscal 'responsibility' by continuing the policies (brought into being by the tories) that have ruined the economy & by there failures have exposed the tories as being fiscally irresponsible them selves.......so you're going to show your fiscally responsible by continuing the policies that have already failed to bring growth & hope that they do this time round 😂😂😂 The real problem is the labour party don't care about fixing the economy all they care about is getting tory donors that have fallen out with the tories to switch to them hence why starmer was cozying upto the likes of Rupert murdock ! That's why you can't tell the parties apart, since there both trying to entice the same people to give them money people that are so rich a failing british economy doesn't effect them ! People that Infact have been statistically shown to actually become more wealthy during economic down turn ! That should tell you all you really need to know about why we are in this state as a nation
They say neoliberal economics has failed . Less than 0.5 % of the population owns about 80% and rising , of the world's wealth . I'd say it's been an outstanding success because that's exactly what the system was designed to do . Unsustainable of course so we are close to the endgame .
This shows why liz kendal got 3% of the vote during labour leadership contest!
The old warlord is waging war on his own people now
Thing is, if I were to be looking at my household budget, food for kids would be the very last thing to go, wouldn't seem fiscally responsible to starve the kids to me!
Jeremy Corbyn is the best prime minister we sadly never had.
🙄 You are still living in a paradigm that has been dead and irrelevant since the 90's. 🤦♂
@@sunnyjim1355 You're evidently stuck in a '90s 'End of History' timewarp.
agreed. how sad.
@davidparry5310
On the contrary, nothing wrong with reflection.
@@Christian988.
Sad is not pausing to lament what might have been.
How that war criminal gets any air time? It's a disgrace
Not in frontline politics, but on our screens every bloody week 😂😂😂. Politicians are now totally irrelevant!
The UK should follow the latest Spanish tax approach that Rivkah mentions near the end. Since covid the number of billionaires in the UK has supposedly increased by 20% and it's not just a new trend. Too much wealth inequality is damaging and has been growing for too long. It leads to growing asset prices and sucks money out of the real economy. Somehow we need to start recycling some of this, probably with a combination of a wealth tax and some form of UBI.
Fully concur; but this train of thought will be put to the test Tomorrow 23rd July with the general election here in Spain. We live in Spain - have "residencia" but unfortunately cannot vote in general elections only regional ones.
Tony Blair and Keir Starmer have their heads so far up Netanyahus Jaksi they will never see daylight ever again.
Quite apart from children being properly fed and provided for, apart from iniquities such as the bedroom tax, what would reduce inflation? Taxing the people with loads of money for more of it, that's what. It's not all down to the Bank of England. Their weapons are blunt and ineffective, but the government has better ones.
Asset tax. That would get the super-rich (mult-millionaires and above) paying their fair share and would raise £100s of billions over the next 5 years. You could use it to improve services and infrastructure, take a step towards putting key industries back into public ownership, would start to close the gap between the wealthy and the poor, and could even cut taxes from those at the bottom of the economic ladder. A fairer country. A prosperous country. For the many and not the (millionaire/billionaire) few.
A good thing only if it’s a stepping stone to fundamentally addressing the core issue. Otherwise its just a short term thing, as that wealth would eventually roll back such reforms and we eventually end up back here.
The 25year old Oxford graduate who’s been a political researcher says a lot about Labour nowadays.
Spot on, what experience of working has he or life in general, all parties are the same, school, university, study PPE, go to your preferred party as a researcher then bingo, your the next parliamentary candidate in a constituency you have no idea of, the last Tory how stood in my constituency never even came to my area, she held a meeting 7 miles away in a neighbouring constituency, makes you weep
Tony bloody Blair should be in jail for his atrocities committed while he was in power. Yet they gave him knighthood… wtf?
Fantastic politician, Our world is too boorish to deserve a politician like him.
Starmer's Labour's commitment to reducing child poverty is as about as solid as when the shadow cabinet had the post of Shadow Secretary of State for Child Poverty which currently does not exist
Hardly surprising that Blair and Mandelson said that they were fine with the filthy rich since they were or would soon become filthy rich themselves.
To the Transformers theme tune: Keir Starmer. Tory in disguise.
I've just realised decepticon stands for deceptive conservative. Fits kier perfectly.
If you abolish the two child rule the beneficiaries will spend that money. There's a little economic boost straight off. They might even learn some economic responsibility.
@@keithparker1346 It's satire sir.
@@jonjuliecat it’s only satire when it’s exaggerated to an extreme. What you did was state an actual position the right wing holds.
If you want 4 are 5 children go out and work for them
Labour need to commit to harmonise tax on income from work with the tax on income from investment.
Once that is done we can work on increasing the tax on passive income.
Ultimately hard work should be rewarded. Having passive income should be penalised because it does not grow the economy.
Passive income is a leach on economic growth.
Luv and Peace.
Ultimately, work and ownership shouldn’t be separated. Until the economy has that as a foundation, a minority will always hold power.
@@jgmediting7770 I agree to a large extent.
Co-operative ownership seems to me like the best of both worlds. People own a stake in the company and are incentivised to create profit. The profit benefits all the stakeholders.
Luv and Peace.
Starmer and Blair are basically saying that there’s no point in voting for Labour. They’re clueless, rudderless and hopeless.
Well now, look who's probably running the labour party without being in front line politics it's Mr million pounds house, he owns a house than he doesn't own but his company does, anyone for paying taxes as he isn't.
Corbyn!!! 🤠💜
Tony Blair should be in The Hague.
He was 'punished' with a knighthood, despite a petition with 1.2 million signatures that opposed the honour. Blair has accumulated a fortune estimated at £50.2 million.
