James O'Brien offers his unfiltered predictions on what we can expect in the run up to the General Election, which Rishi Sunak has announced will take place on 4th July.
As the key Party leaders hit the UK campaign trail after a shock election call, James O'Brien reacts to the initial media coverage: ’Seize the initiative? He couldn’t seize an umbrella!’
James O'Brien predicts the upcoming ‘post-Brexit’ election will see Conservatives ‘tripling down on lying through their teeth’.
He also highlights the ‘desperation’ of the ‘Tory-donating client media’ supporting Rishi Sunak after he announced the election.
Rishi Sunak has claimed the 'economy has turned a corner' and 'plan is working' at his first campaign rally after announcing election...
But is the England's Euro glory Sunak's only path to political survival?

@@David-mi3ilthere are plenty regions in California that are prone to floods. I live in a sub-tropical climate, somewhat like southern California and it would shock you to see what rain can do in such climates. I'm an ex-pat Scot and we get Scotland's yearly rain total in just 3 months, the fact that we're called the Sunshine state doesn't seem to stop it from flooding each year.

Don't hold out much hope that our Right wing Media asking the right questions our call out LIES. It also includes BBC as well as the other stand out "newspapers".

I too have a heart of stone apparently : I laughed as he got drenched. Prime Miniature - almost missed that one !

Sunrat standing outside 10 Drowning Street without an umbrella sums it all up.

No sympathy for Rishi Sunak He’s been offered a job in California and his kids want to go to School in the USA for the Autumn term Also his wife can hide her money much easier in the USA

@jcanyiam8309 28 дней назад

I guess Sunak did not want to be labelled 'The Wally with the Brolly' (Steve McClaren)So he wanted to act like the tough Guy to the British people. You can TRUST ME, I can brave the bad weather and speak to the Nation. It was a very POOR judgement on his part

@jorgkuijt4735 28 дней назад

Why now? Because he wants his children going to a new school in California after the Summer Hollyday.

@veronicagregson9062 28 дней назад

He has milked as much as he can for himself and family and close friends if he as any they won’t be working class anyway

@coconutwater530 28 дней назад

James it sounded like a resignation. He’s resigning to a fate and planning for a better life in California. Part of him stopped caring. Come September he’ll be laughing at us all whilst soaking up gorgeous sun light and rolling around in money

Those of us living abroad, for however long, are now eligible to vote. I'll be interested to see if we get our ballot papers in time for it to be returned to UK and to be counted.

On Iain Dale's Cross Question last night, I posed the question , Which party on the panel's manifesto will contain a proposal for Britain to rejoin the European Union, as seems to be the majority view of the general population ? Only Richard Thomson confirmed that the SNP would campaign on the issue.

@MrTonyHeath 28 дней назад

James, that was so superb that it almost makes the next six weeks worth it. I have lived through every election since the war but this will be of a different order. Bring on the 5th July, three days after my 83rd birthday. The People's Flag is Deepest Red....

@jeffsimon9594 28 дней назад

Your parents worked for the other side during the war then?

@rossallan3585 28 дней назад

I can’t help but wonder if it’s an act of spite against his own party. Though not exactly Sunak’s sole fault, his party has been taken over by the most swivel eyed head bangers that used to be safely chained to the backbenches. The sort only out for themself, constantly waiting for a convenient bus to come along to shove him under. He knows his days are numbered regardless, so there’s part of me thinking he’s just angling to take as many with him as possible.

@bulletproofblouse 28 дней назад

"Unprecedentedly awful", no James. There were plenty of people at the 2019 election that FULLY PRECEDENTED how awful it would be. You elected a guy who hid in a fridge because of a hard question.

Highest energy bills in Europe. Highest taxes in 70 years. Highest interest rates since 2008. Highest train fares in Europe. Longest waiting lists in NHS history. Raw sewage pumped into rivers. Lowest corporate taxes in 50 years.

Surely Rishi’s had enough, he looks like he’s hating acting as PM. The faces of him, Dowden and Hunt yesterday said it all. Starmer was acting as the PM yesterday.

As an American, I grew up always thinking at you lot were the smart ones, the ones who "know better." But now, I've realized your politics are as batshit crazy and vile as ours. Congratulations.
