The Labour Party's Agenda:- "Don't be the Tories" :)
guess thats enough, for the time being.
No, just Tory-Lite 😪

Liz Truss lost her seat
Who?
She lost her marbles first
Rather good News she should go mop the floor of the House
She was admittedly the worst of the bunch
She almost lost her temper too if you look at the footage! Such a spoilt brat who is in total denial over the harm she did.
I voted for Lord Buckethead.
The establishment are frightened of him cleaning up their mess!
Is his policy of free laser swords still stands ?

Well done for splitting the vote. Clever.

@@supersardonic1179 He also seems far more credible relatively speaking.
I'm surprised the Tories lasted this long. My question to the UK people is, can the Labour Party actually change things? From the outside looking in, it looks like the UK is a a huge mess and I'm American, we all know we are a mess too, but you guys are a huge mess.
Spot on analysis. But Labour will make the mess even worse. There hasn't been a successful Labour government in living memory.
Yes YT we spell Labour with a "u" between "o and r" it's called English.
Queens English perhaps. English belongs to the US now.
What has been missing from the UK government has been adults in charge. The populasit politics of the Tories attracted far too many MP's who could say a few catch phrases to please the crowds but who had no substance or deep thoughts. Corruption of the truth became normaliesed. Labour are the sober driver compared to the tories drunk.
One of the biggest issues for many as reflected in the votes cast for Reform Party, is immigration. Tories have been blocked at every step and anybody who thinks Labour will improve things are deluded. They want immigration to boost their vote base for years to come
@@henrysiegertsz8204 That depends on what your definition of success is. There is a broad swath of the population that consider the early years of the Blair era to be one of optimism and noticeable improvement. I personally disagreed with the Iraq war and the light touch approach to big business but I can't deny that progress was made in crucial areas too.
Rishi is a filithy rich man. He doesnt care about normal people who dont go to work in a helicopter or jet like his friends. I dont understand why countries keep electing business men to run countries. How can you be surprised someone who priorities profit over everything else isnt going to care about you.
American has a Donald Trump that makes Rishi looking like an angel.
@@leanderrowe2800brainrotted
What about his predecessors...he didn't cause all these issues
If he didn't care he would be sitting on a beach counting his billions instead of working 18 hrs a day and taking abuse left right and centre. Your opinion is based on jealousy and nothing more...take a look at yourself
Why do we have businessmen running the country? We don't now...we have angela Rayner..is she unqualified enough to make you happy?
We didn’t elect Rishi Sunak directly. He became leader of the party already in government 🤷♀️
Not that his predecessors were much different, except for the extent of their wealth.
It is like in Germany, no one wanted Scholz we all wanted to prevent the Hobbit from Aachen. Same with the UK even if Starmer had not made one speech, the people wanted to eliminate the Tories.
But thre is no change in policy and system
Macron called for an election - He lost.
Sunak called for an election - He lost big time.
There seems to be a trend here...
Hopefully Trudeau next.
Zelensky curse
Macron has not lost his party is likely to form a Coalition with the left they have 48% of the votes
@@jimmytimmy3680 The labour party supports Ukraine.

Sunak says every time when people think of the worst showing by the Conservative since it was formed they will remember him Sunak as the PM. Though it is negative but to him as a multi-millionaire it will be like water of a duck's back.
I would say that more about Boris ,Mogg & Co
Nothing’s going to change. The historical tide is sweeping the UK away into irrelevancy.
Really? Too much of a good thing hence change? Come on … admit that UK hasn’t been great and 14 years to realise this is much too long
14? 😂 The Tories won in the first place because of the mess Labour made. The UK hasn't been great in closer to 60 years. You've just had successive flip flopping between the uniparty to pretend like they're doing something when in fact both sides make things worse. Because the sobering truth is, the uniparty aren't interested in you. They're interested in themselves.
Remember, Labour promised to "reform" (slash and privatise) the NHS. Don't complain when you get what you voted for.
Yep, UK has been stagnating for a while now. The "Britain is a dump" video by the BritMonkey explores this further
@@Adomas_Bwhile the general idea of that video is right its full of misinformation
There is not much difference between the labour and the story except their name. Just the other side of the same coin.
@@maarifa4772 only time will tell .. hopefully on the opposite side of the Tories travelled road. Refocusing on domestic UK in the midst of an EU paralysis might be the way out

Never make comments on a speech without first showing the speech to your viewers. Especially not when you tease people for showing it yet still make comments. Who is directing this studio?
UK politics: a ping-pong game between Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
Labour gained 1.5% in the to 35% and win 414 seats, Reform got 15% of the vote and got 4 seats. The UK parliament really does not represent the electorate.
Yes it does, each seat represents a portion of the country. Just because one constituency votes 80% for one candidate, doesn’t mean that party should also have a representative representing somewhere else where people don’t feel the same.
@@jaketaylor3901funny, because the left is against that in America, where it does not favor them. People will justify whatever gives them power.
@@jaketaylor3901let me guess, people in London voted labour. Quite undemocratic that people in one area will decide of the whole country
Even worse here in USA where you can become president without having the most votes. FPTP is undemocratic
It does. MPs are elected to serve their constituents.
Time to rejoin the EU
💯
EU does not want UK back.
Gonna switch to the euro this time, or not?
You are right. Most people who voted to leave have now regretted it. We are now much worse off.
😂😂😂
all the talk about reform party and they only got 4 seats...
Yeah but they got a lot of votes but came second so they did not got seats. If they use several years to build up local offices and branches they could win a lot of seats in next election.
@@kristijangrgic9841 This. If Labour messes up then the map could look different in 2029. Reminds me a bit of Le Pen in France who took a decade of building up to get the results they have now.
Reform UK will only have 4 seats. They were being talked up as if they'd replace the Tories.
UK politics is wild
So, the other wing of the Uniparty gets a turn. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Watch Starmer's popularity plummet in three months.
This is EXACTLY what people should be expecting. Labour policies are victually a carbon copy of Conservative party policies. If it failed for the Tories, why should it be any different for Labour? Keir Starmer is going to do exactly the same on everything that matters - foreign policy and economic policy. The fundamentals why the UK is going to shxt won't change a bit. Next election, it is very likely Labour will be routed in a Conservative landslide. And still, the uniparty will rule, and not a single important policy has changed.

Wait what? How do you get 15% of the vote but only get 4 seats out of what? 800 seats? The English system is mad lol.
EDIT: okay I saw in a different video that the winner takes all in each constituent. I like that system actually. Now Labour can govern with more power without needing actual 50% support. I'm not pro Labour but more power to them since they won by a landslide. Let's see what they'll do.
First past the post voting in its full glory.
That's 4 more seats than Nigel Farage deserves.
Literally the first time that the right didn't benefit from it and immediately it is a problem. Cope and seethe.
We needed a Labour Majority for the country to get worse, so when it is on its knees the strong can rise.
It's always been that way. When a party comes to power they don't want to change the system that put them there.
Since brexit .... UK seems irrelevant Just nobody mentions the UK. UK made herself irrelevant. And this is extraordinary. The beginning part of this century, UK were the dominant force. France has effectively eclipsed us and you just don't hear a discussion of UK
Brexit has marginalised UK. It was kind of intended to do exactly that, russia china would be very happy to see this.... with french right wing coming in power and rumors of frexit who know what will be fate of EU. Turbulent time ahead
I feel sorry for you because you lack a basic understanding of the world.
your incoherent rambling makes no logical sense.
True but keep in mind actions ALWAYS have consequences….if you only saw the monstrous lunacies of the french left and center and also the EU, you’d sometimes wonder how tf these ish didn’t collapse already 😂….which is literally sad if the EU go because the project in itself is not bad, but damaged by centralized and leftist ideas imo 🤦♂️
nah.... UK was paying more to the EU than it received (still benefit overall) whereas France and Germany win the most from the EU's economic game
Yup. The UK shot itself in the foot. But at least you aren't the US, which shot itself in the foot in 2016 and is now trying again, but this time for the head.
@@theEtch no one wins in the EU economic gain apart from corporations!

First past the post is, evidently, grossly unfit to legitimately represent the electorate.
That makes it funny when Brexiters claim the EU was "undemocratic". The British system is clearly less democratic than the EU.
Always was and always will be. Archaic and undemocratic.
It's a good system when deciding where to go to dinner with some friends.
The people expect too much from their government and too little from themselves. This outcome, while understandable, will solve very little until the British people take responsibility for their future, and re-engage with their social responsibilities.

In a way you are right.
@@1mnyenaphar727 Was it too much?
Well the Scottish surely surprised us with that Labour landslide. I guess they know where their bread is buttered. SNP was foolish to think Scotland can survive Brexit and then independence.
Actually Scotland has huge resources and could make it very well on their own,
Scotland has only 8.3% of the UK's population. 8.3%. But it has:
32% of the land area
61% of the sea area
90% of the fresh water. There is more fresh water in Loch Ness than In England and Wales combined.
65% of the natural gas production
96.5% of the crude oil production
50% of Europe’s Carbon-Capture Storage Area
47% of the open cast coal production
81% of the untapped coal reserves
62% of the timber production
46% of the total forest area
92% of the hydro electric production
40% of the wind wave and solar energy production
60% of the fish landings
30% of the beef herd
20% of the sheep herd
9% of the dairy herd
10% of the pig herd
15% of the cereal holdings
20% of the potato holdings
100% of the Scottish Whisky industry.
Then add over 70% of Gin production
17 billion pound construction industry
13 billion food and drink industry
10 billion business services industry
9.3 billion chemical services industry
9.3 billion tourism industry
7 billion financial services industry
5 billion aeroservice industry
4.5 billion whisky export industry
3.1 billion life sciences industry
Scotland still has 350 million pounds worth of textile exports
Scotland has opened it’s first Goldmine
Scotland has 25% of all Europes wave and wind energy potential with only 1% of Europe's population.
It has 1.5 trillion pounds - £1,500,000,000,000 worth of oil and gas reserves.
The oil reserves are 95 times greater than England’s;
The fish landings are 22 times greater than England’s;
The natural gas reserves are 15 times greater than England’s;
The Gross Domestic Product per Head (GDP) is over £2000 more than England’s;
Scotland has 7 times more farmland than England;
Scotland produce 18 times more renewable power than England and the tourism industry income is 8% larger than England’s;
The tourism is generated largely on the vast natural beauty of our country with its incredible collection of lochs, a lake, rivers, hills and mountains combined with a friendly and hospitable population;
Scottish whisky alone makes up over 21% of the total food and beverage exports of UK.

It's a vote against incumbency; so let's hope Starmer & co don't let it go to their heads and think that the electorate have fallen in love with them. The honeymoon wont last long . Brexit and the EU will be the big elephant which will be tramping all around once more . If Labour can't move fast enough and offer some sort of amelioration to the tired population they will be watching their numbers go down pretty quickly.
True, they have their work cut out for them.

Empty words.
Not a single thing will change. They just rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. Labour Party's platform read identical to the Conservative Party platform on everything that matters (foreign policy and economic policy). In another few years, another election will be called after the public become sick and tired the direction of the UK has remained exactly the same. Labour will be voted out and the Tories voted back in. And still, not a single policy will change. Democracy? What democracy?
Shar!a in UK before GTA 6😓
Whether Labour can fix the UK economy is unclear, but it is clear that Conservative is not able to deliver the improvement as public expected for the time being.
Agreed. After 14 years you can say the Conservatives have had their chance.
Hunt and Zahawi Retaining their seats must be something in the water.
Good job UK! 👏
What difference does the election make? Read the Labour Party platform. On all the major issues of foreign policy and economic policy, there is no difference between Labour and Conservative. Voters may think they are punishing the incumbent party because of how bad things are going for the UK. But the alternative is just a carbon copy of what they replaced! There aren't two parties - there is only one uniparty, and the real rulers of the West control both sides not only in the UK, but in all the other Western so-called "democracy" too. The voting ritual is just a joke!

And those are the lowest salaries of the ex communist EU members/candidates. Not counting Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey.
Russia currently got monthly salary similar to Albania. Albania got 620 euros. Let's not even talk about the median or mean wealth per adult citizen as it's absolutely disaster for Russia and it puts it among the poorest countries of the whole world. While all the European countries absolutely destroy Russia in that department.

This isn’t really a massive swing to the left. In fact Labour are unlikely to increase their vote share. It is a giant beating of the Conservative Party who ignored the wishes of the people who voted for it last time. That is a lesson for all Parties.
Labour should definitely take a close look at the core issues why voters went to Reform or other parties and try to solve them.

Welcoming new tax regime and bankruptcy
UK is already bankrupt. National debt some £ 2,65 trillion more than 100% of GDP. Furthermore figures released by HM Treasury reveal that Britain’s public sector pension bill has exceeded the size of the total economy for the first time in 2023.
The cost of pensions for millions of public sector workers including civil servants, doctors and teachers rose by £116.7bn in the 2020-21 financial year.
This takes the total to £2.3 trillion, but at the time UK GDP was just £2.1 trillion.
The four biggest unfunded schemes are for the NHS, teachers, civil servants and the armed forces.
Simon Kew, head of market engagement at Broadstone, said: “Administering, operating and paying out to beneficiaries within these schemes remains a heavy burden for the economy to bear."
“The taxpayer is on the hook should there be any shortfall in these schemes - and currently foots about 75 per cent of the bill from the four largest pay-as-you-go schemes.”
Putin has the loudest laugh.
