The next election needs to be the opportunity to exercise our democratic right and vote alternative. No starmer, no sunak, no Israeli influence.
well you be happy with a other 5 years of tories then
The only possible solution is for mass abstinence.
If enough people decline from casting a vote, the entire system becomes invalidated for all to see.
@@bendreczko9054ahh that old chestnut….
@@Andyreally It's not wrong though is it, we dont have proportional representation in this corrupt democracy.
💯 % agree
I'm in the NE and have voted for him.
me too
Same
Will be tomorrow.
@reallymakesyouthink 4 votes for Jamie from our house tomorrow.
Kim can't even do the job she has.
Me too 👍
It would be nice to have someone elected whose leader did not have a string attached between him an Tel Aviv
I hope Driscoll wins. He was treated so shabbily by Labour. The Labour candidate is pro Starmer, enough said.
Ken Loach will be renowned for being on the correct side of history .
Unfortunately a laurel Starmer will never achieve
I really hope Jamie driscoll wins
So basically everything the Labour candidate is pledging has already been done/being done by Driscoll
Is labour totally bonkers ?....Why ban an MP for speaking to Ken Loach .Sorry I forgot K' Orwell is at the helm....
I hope he does beat the Labour candidate. I have voted Labour for the last 44 years and I am fed up with Starmer interfering with local candidates!
Hope Jamie wins.
Too many people are willing to do the wrong thing to keep their jobs, it's time people stopped being cowards and did what's right.
In a wider capitalist look, that's by design of the system, removal of all safety nets so that the threat of job loss is life devastating.
He has my vote.
I've lived in NE and Jamie is just what it needs someone working for the people not the party line all the best to him
This man is genuine and genius. He should be PM.
Please, please vote for Driscoll. Sharing a platform with 😢Ken Loach. How low can Labour stoop.
sarcasm? can explain what Loach did wrong.
Starmer also shared a platform with Ken Loach (Newsnight)
Good Luck J.D
God I despise Labour. They are just as bad as Tories in my eyes now.
Driscoll needs to win to at least give Starmer pause to think that he has alienated a huge voting base.
I’d vote for Jamie.
Last time I did not vote for him as he had the most sloganeering meaningless manifesto I had (and have even up to now) seen in my life. And he delivered according to the manifesto, i.e. slogans. This time I've already sent in my postal vote for him because 1) only he and the Labour candidate have any chances and the Labour candidate, amazingly, has an even worse record as PCC than Driscoll as mayor, 2) interestingly he has this time the best manifesto and 3) as a matter of course I felt obliged to vote against Labour purges if there is any chance to do so. If he wins, Starmer has some egg on his face. If Labour wins, we have a non-white male mayor better connected to the central govt so there may be better crumbs coming our way. Nothing to lose.
It's videos like this which expose the underhand tactics of the elite class. Keep up the good work.
Similar to Dennis Canavan in Scotland in 1999, despite him being a Scottish Labour MP for 25 years at Westminster, Labour refused to adopt him as their candidate for the Falkirk constituency for the then new Scottish Parliament.
Dennis stood as an Independent Labour candidate and got the biggest majority in Scotland. Says it all really, Dennis was a terrific constituency MP, which is why he was elected. The UK could do with a lot more MPs of that calibre nowadays, instead of the self-serving cowboys that seem to dominate the headlines these days!
Party politics is finished, all independed people with honesty and dignity need to do is stand up to be voted in and end two party politics forever!
I hope he wins, he’s a great mayor and the fallout on Friday will be phenomenal.
Jamie Driscoll has my vote
I voted this morning. Labour NO. Conservative NO.
Would love for Jamie Driscoll to win it!
I hope he wins.
She forgot to mention she's going to cure cancer.
Come on, Jamie!!
Mr. Driscoll's communication style and general presence seem more convincing than his competitor's.
It's not Labour nor Cons that is the real problem, it's the political system. Bought and controlled by lobbyists and powerful business stakeholders.
I realise that I am being a bit negative here but I think not only would it be brilliant if Jamie wins but, bearing in mind the way that they have treated him, it would be brilliant if Labour lost.
Rooting for you to win Jamie Driscoll!
Voting for him tomorrow 😊
Wish London had a sensible sounding candidate worth voting for
19th century economic Liberalism was documented by Charles Dickens.
21st century Neo-Liberalism is documented by Ken Loach
Labour mayor candidate first pledge: “Good jobs for all…”.
Oh, there’s obviously a _long_ time since anyone inside Labour read Marx, knew dialectical thinking, or even understood basic socialist values. We are all defined by “work”, are we? I feel very ancient these days, at ‘just’ 58…
Thanks for your important journalism, Novara… 👍
Labour is rubbish. Vote Workers Party or independent where you can 🎉❤
A similar Battle in Hastings and Hollington Ward where Maya Evans was blocked by Starmer bullies. She is a successful hard working socialist councillor and standi g as an independent is neck and neck with Labour candidate.
So good to see Durham on Novara Media! A beautiful city, well on the way to continued positive representation.
Good luck to Jamie Driscoll.
I also had the honour to meet Ken Loach a year or two back, at a showing if Sorry We Missed You. A true socialist and a modest, yet inspirational, speaker.
Good luck to this fella
On route to vote for Jamie now
Good luck Jamie..
Just voted for him
Good luck Jay all the best bud.
It would be nice to have a JD to vote for. I only have PCC here and they're all crap or so poor at communicating, they seem crap.
Does "I'm for good things, against bad things, I know what's broken and will fix it" really work on people, cos that's all the folks in my area have to say for themselves without actually saying what's broken, what's good, what's bad etc.
Politics is so broken in this country!
I searched, "Jamie Driscoll" on UA-cam and discovered his UA-cam channel. Instantly subscribed. Seems like a decent fella.
Hope Driscoll wins
hope you win buddy .
Hope he wins as he's got a great record. That would be one in the eye for the Starmer Party 🎉
Lifelong Labour voter but, I've voted for Jamie, disgusting actions from the Labour party. Kim McGuiness did sod all as Police and Crime Commissioner, don't really expect her to do anything as North Of Tyne Mayor, at least Jamie has a proven record on what he's achieved. Go Jamie !
I hope to God Driscoll wins. It will send a message to voters, prior to the GE, that a vote for an independant isn't a wasted vote.
Driscoll, Galloway and the like are all that stands between us and a political hegemony. Realistically we've a one Party system. Starmer or Sunak, the differance is narrowing by the day.
I've seen Driscoll speaking. He's inspiring. Come on, North East! This guy has a brilliant record at North of Tyne. The only record Starmer's Labour has is for u-turning and cosying up to the rich and powerful.
Best of luck to Jamie tomorrow
N.B. and it will be about Galloway and the Workers Party.
Jamie has my postal vote and my partner's.
Hope he wins
-Kier Starmer-
*Kid Starver*
I already love this man’s honesty. I wish he ran for London. We’re stuck between a psychopath n a woman who’s not realised how much London hates liars
I am voting in local elections for the first for the sole reason to support Jamie Driscoll and NOT vote for Torylite Labour.
Seems like a great guy to have running things in NE.
♥ Jamie Driscoll!
Good luck!
My choices in Manchester were Tory or Labour only. I had no choice but to vote labour and it made me feel sick.
There’s a website for all locations on how to vote tactically. Unfortunately, in Bristol’s council and police commissioner’s elections, there were no Workers Party candidates. My votes go for an independent, the Greens and if no choice, for Labour. The Greens seem to have a lot of support here while in neighbouring counties the LibDems are often the only alternative to the Tories..
We need disrupters, the uniparty system we now have will not look after us.
JD has proved himself, and he deserves to win, and I'm from Yorkshire. He would make an incredible PM
What type of person joins Starmer's Labour Party?
Neoliberal
The Labour candidate wants all the people of the North East the opportunity to have a boss.
As far as I'm aware Andy Street has distanced himself from the Conservative party and is virtually standing as an independent. Hence whatever the outcome of his effort, it cannot be transposed to the general Conservative UK position.
very good
The true Labour supporters hope upon hope that you, Jamie, succeed .
She is offering to attempt at that which you are succeeding at and she, is the minion of the most renowned oath breaker of the lot, Starmer.
If she was honest and had integrity, she would never have accepted the possibility of running against you
Hand picked by an inveterate liar
Anyone than macguinness is a local comment. Funny that her councillor buddies nicknamed her Barbie, I wondered why,
Maybe because she wants to finance put lights in a park in Gateshead under the premise of safety of women but unfortunately this council park is chained closed every night at 5pm and isn't a short cut to nowhere. So at most it would be lit for around 30 minutes everyday in the winter.
Little Flags, universal declaration..
Good luck JAMIE
you know the election was over a week ago right
They all talk the talk.
Kim communicates the usual party glib that will never materialise. How many times have we heard this false type of speech or false advertisement. Aren't people tired and extremely bored of this total scripted cr.p.
It doesn’t seem very intelligent to me to say, I’ll talk to them and see what they’ve got to offer. Has he forgot about levelling up promises?
Let us know !
Do we have an alternative candidate like him in Birmingham?
When did this ‘’North East’’, big area btw, ‘’Mayoral’’ pish start?
Ps, I presume this Mayor will not be eligible to join the C40 Cities right?
no one is politically literate, no one actually cares that much, no one really knows him (by no one i don't actually mean no one just not enough people)
will galloway get some in ?
Why does labour always look so controlling now and like the thought police as well good luck today
Join with Galloway
YOU ARE A LOVELY WOMAN AND PERFECT FOF THE JOB.
Well she won overwhelming, so what next Novara Media.
She seems to be more left wing than Driscoll !
Vote Khan
You all lost then she won overwhelmingly, tough
Fella is going to lose.
What makes you say that? Especially considering he has already proved how good he is at the job.
