117: A New Pod For Britain 

well. if all you watch is the BBC it's easy to be misled.

@@Anwarboy786well you would have to share credit with the Telegraph and Daily Mail too. There’s only so much a public broadcaster can do 😂

Laura Cu#tsberg, who definitely isn't biased towards the Tories 😉

It’s long term loyalty though isn’t it? People voted for them because they remember their grandpa talking about Churchill as a kid… it’s not a situation sensitive or rational decision

@@minui8758 is it though? Is that a reason to justify voting for incompetent politicians who don’t have your best interests at heart? “My family voted for this party that has torn up our future and my kid’s future but my parents and grandparents voted for them so I will too.” That’s insane.

The hypocrisy is rife :(

If Brexit was done on a constituency basis. That 5% would’ve equated to a landslide. The 2019 election proved this, as Boris effectively span it into a single issue election based on “getting Brexit done”, and temporarily turned many red wall constituencies Tory.

no one suggested a mandate just a win same with scot indie. when big questions are asked the public scientifically produce the best answer but this must be dependant on info bias, lies and corruption but the safeguard is that both sides can lie

And 15% of the electorate voted ukip in 2015. Not much has changed. What we have learnt is that bigotry, racism and general political illiteracy is spread thinly over a wide area.

I don't think that is accurate, didn't they get about 14% of the vote?

@@greabo9544 One of the reasons why I'm glad I can cook. I would never dream of using any of the delivery sites. They also rip-off the restaurants. Money for doing nothing except fund a bank of servers. Edit: Not sure what fast food delivery has to do with my comment about the electorate, but each to their own.

@@paddymeboy They got 14% of the vote, but in terms of the ELECTORATE they got 6.1% (not everyone voted) the difference is important as using the higher figure is a misrepresentation of the true facts. In France the percentage of the electorate supporting a candidate is considered.

But these people are idiots. How can you ".not vote for xxxxx"? If just tell yih that these people are morons and their political opinion means nothing. One should vote, during each election independently, on what is important and matters at that time. Example; Churchill was considered a bit of an arse but he was great during a war. Doesn't mean you'd vote for the same person outside of war. That should apply during every election.

Labour are either the latest reincarnation of Lenin or are going to borrow Liz Truss’ copy of Maggie Thatcher’s handbook. I’ve heard them accused of being both. I’m guessing they are going to be somewhere in the middle.

Intriguing comment!

The 5 independents and 4 Greens will be opposition from the left, along with rebels in the inside.

It won't, the Labour party had the same line as the tories

@@steverooke1717 Oh do put a sock in it. Starmer was named captain hindsight because he called for more stringent measures to prevent more cases. Which is a weird nickname to call somebody who predicts what will happen in the future, but soit. Labour didn't oppose the weak things the tories did do, to not cause strife & be supportive of the medical establishment. A bit like not making oppositional hay out of the Ukrainian war. And accountability should definitely start with the claw-back of the PPE billions, something that i've read Labour wants to do & that is a great big effing difference. Only weakminded ignorant unthinking bleeeeeeeeeeebs keep repeating the lie that all the parties are all the same, instructed as they are by their bot-bosses to suppress the vote through apathy for their millionaire donors.

@@steverooke1717 But Labour weren't in government, dear.

@@SuezWSuezW yes, I know that👍 why point is there won't be any accountability under the tories🙂

Did labour support eat out to help out?

😂😂😂 nice one 👍

Really? I had lost all hope about HS2. Starmer wasn't a fan and Sunak sold off the land and there's no money for anything! I thought HS2 was dead! Please tell me I'm wrong!

@@adrianthoroughgood1191 I don't think the land has been sold off yet. Not sure about Starmer, but all the regional mayors say the section from Birmingham to Crewe is vital, as does Hendy and anyone else who understands the problems HS2 was resolving. Stopping HS2 south of the biggest bottleneck (Stafford) is a reflection of Sunak's short-termism.

​@@adrianthoroughgood1191 still lots of HS2 work going on around Birmingham

@@MiniLifeCrisis Sunak only cancelled the parts beyond Birmingham

Thornberry is irrevocably tainted, in centrist Labour eyes, by her association with Corbyn's shadow cabinet.

Wish my constituency had a fun candidate, the only non major party was an indy running on "ending the trans agenda" whatever that means

That... That was incredible, i cant belive i missed that. Words cannot to it justice.

Oh dear😂😂😂

I really hope they listen to this message. But the next election will be 5 years away, and hopefully by then the Gaza crisis will be long in the past.

@@adrianthoroughgood1191 In one form or another, the Gaza issue has been going on for decades. In one form or another, it'll still be there in 2029.

A template for a Bond villain perhaps?

@@hilarykirkby4771 was he the one still living off slave-trading cash?

Way worse than a Bond villan. A genuine slave owning family offspring, still living on the profits (allegedly). One of the extremely wealth that needs taxing heavily on owned assets.

Ian Fleming hated his father and also the architect Goldfinger

@@user-sd3ik9rt6d Interesting, thanks!

It probably didn't hurt that Dan Norris was the old Wansdyke MP so he had a degree of "brand recognition".

@@cheekychappy1234 No doubt. But the rural landowner/farmer vote that has returned Mogg so strongly is changing as Bristol's prices push workers into North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, etc.

But a peerage…….. he must have some deeeeeeeep shit to have been preferred so frequently despite his lack of obvious talent. Failure after epic inglorious failure.

The whole report has been thoroughly discredited by pretty much every other medical organisation outside of the UK, and the fact that Badenoch boasted on Twitter that it would never have happened unless the Tories stuffed all the government agencies with transphobes should be indication enough that this is another culture war issue that Labour decided they would align with Tories on.

Private Eye determined to make the same mistake again with trans people that it made mocking the gay rights movement in the 1970s …

Which is why the WORDING in the Labour manifesto is important. It's something like; we will implement any _scientific_ recommendations. Legalese...

​@@LeafHuntressreally? You think they are only pretending to support Cass?

Drivel

same

Spelling, Mike: drivel.

@@eshaibraheem4218 Come on, he's more used to writing in Cyrillic.

So, the first 15 minutes focus on which moments of the election results were the panellists' favourites. What about it is 'unintelligent' or 'uninformed', and how would you have done it better? Perhaps you're just a troll?
