Grace Blakeley VS Lisa Nandy On BBC Question Time 

A manifesto she was elected on.

​@@SuperStella1111😊

The main criticism of Corbyn's manifesto was that he was going to spend the money we didn't have. But then Johnson & Sunak went on to spend billions more while putting the country in lockdown.

her lisp is annoying

Yeah, just a complete lie.

Ah ha ha, imagine Lisa's anger if Grace said that, amazing

wont take any but they give long Rants full of personal attacks though.

She has most probably been avoiding lectures in all her schools.

She's balding Pandy is full of clap.

Ironic considering Grace Blakeley is the privately educated ex KPMG employee here.

Never vote Labour...it takes far too long for the country to recover, after a spell of Lefties.

Truly Horrific

The reason possibly that it gives you the chills is it mirrors the Blair government but without the charisma and if we being honest the erosion of our health system germinated there. By that I mean not purchasing new hospitals ie building them but renting, Dental fees changed and effectively dropped so dentists left NHS and went Private dropping all their NHS patients. Until the world wide economic crash the U.K. quite prosperous so little excuse. I am getting sick of this notion that breakfast clubs the answer to child poverty. The obvious answer is pay the parents a truly living wage. Allow people self respect don’t force them economically to have universal credit to top up low wages. Our system all messed up. How can a local government employee get paid such low wages working fulltime that they entitled to UC. so cut out the middle man and simply pay them a real wage…. Sorry I digress just watched Questiin time 23/05/2024 so very irritated that like member of the audience Labour Party under Starmer given me zero reason to vote for them.

Exactly. Nandy mumbling, did she actually say something, through the rhetoric as usual and it is rot. Rail has come under public control under the Tories!!

Come off it , don’t be so sensitive ffs

It was a very uncalled for and cheap attack, considering The topic wasn't really about Jeramy Corbyn, and Grace hadn't even mentioned him at that point.

She came 3rd in the leadership election she's 'soft left' apparently not it's New New Labour, it really kicked off there not good, 2nd was Corbyn ally Rebecca Long Bailey if she was leader thing would of been different let's be honest the state of the Conservatives is the main reason Labour are ahead the same way as any leader of Labour would be currently.

The whole episode it was just bare face lies. She shook her head when Grace said she served under Corbyn.

You must have been watching a different programme to me l did not see her educating anyone,all l saw was an ignorant woman playing to a Tory audience

@@michaellancaster996 yes I was watching the same programme and whatever your view of her it was perfectly evident by Nandy’s body language she was confused and bewildered and that was emphasised by the lack of audience applause she attracted and overall social media reaction.

Ignorant? Maybe look in the mirror. ​@@michaellancaster996

​@@nickvinehill7491She comes across not bright. Like when she said "I don't know shat a woman is. She clearly does but wants to lie to get trans voters.

Lmao Blakeley advocates an alliance with Nigel Farage

Agree only seen her a couple of times but all have been positive so far

But they have to keep suppressing the ideas that Corbyn stood for because they are what their owners fear most.

He was also smeared for being anti-Israel. How has that aged?!

Guy was friends of Hamas and was voted in to the top job? I mean how many more Hamas sympathisers or supporters are within the labour ranks. The damage he did to the left was immense he turned it into a party run by Islamist. Most Brits are becoming more atheist and it’s just out of touch to have politics that’s inline with an Islamic terrorists group.

Corbyn was a man for the working class defo not an antisemite

He is easy to smear!

💯

I wouldn’t go that far.

People said that about New Labour's first run... and then we got over a decade of actual Tories and, no, no, Tories are still far worse.

Agree. Working class people don't use the railways anyway. If they want to do something to help working class people they should nationalise power, not rail.

It was exactly the kind of sneering, outraged response we've come to expect from the Tories when they're asked to be held accountable. Whoever wins this election, we all lose.

The UK ranks in the top 5 countries in the world for billionaires.

just over 20 in 2010, just under 60 in 2019 (10 yrs). Between 2020 and first quarter of 2023 we increase to 177 (not even 3.5 yrs) billionaires. It is insane how much money was GIVEN to these people. Government is broke, 80% of the public is either broke or struggling. They need money so common sense and MATH (Something Sunak was moaning about the importance of) dictates we take it from those that ACTUALLY HAVE IT.

Weird and maddening isn't it, it's basically a refusal to acknowledge that the aim of these parties and the economy itself is to make the rich richer, and so there's this forever gaslighting that money is some finite resource rather than something that simply needs to be claimed back through tax. If anyone ever suggested that, these people would shift uncomfortably in their seat. It's the biggest elephant in the room pretty much every time any politician discusses anything. Because of that, it's all basically pointless and redundant and it makes sense that all the discussions are so petty and futile and repetitive, the exact same things are said year after year, this exact exchange could happen the same 50 years from now.

Theres plenty of money for weapons none for the poor.

What's billionaire's got to do with this?

You need to seek help

When do most Labour MPs ever claim to be socialist? Labour isn't a socialist party. It exists to stop socialism - despite what the membership card says.

​@@brookeconroy6227 Red and blue Tories, two cheeks of the same arse.

Socialism ruins the Country just look across the world.

Stop falling for the false two-party duopoly. Neither side will ever put the best interests of the people above the best interests of their donors.

Labour was taken over

And when starting wars in the middle east!

@MT-kx2uc something, something "special relationship" nothing to see here, please move along. Blair, Bush et al.

The Tories put more money into the bankers than anyone. George Osbourne created a huge deficit propping up the bankers, and losing support for business in the economy, and reducing people’s income. Get it right.

the magic money tree only exists to let the rich get richer

The ‘magic-money tree’ did/does exist and it’s called a bank.

What did she lie about?

I quite like LN, but was disappointed when she attacked Grace B in this way.

Not another one !.....

@@waynereid9471 Did you watch the video?

When you rationalise that means lying and being dishonest and politicians do it all the time.

Big lol!

She nailed the accent though, Dick Van Dyke must be spinning in his grave.

was thinking the same thing! hahahaha

His spouting of Russian propaganda around the invasion of Ukraine really undermine this sentiment for me. Jeremy is a good person but he watches far too much RT.

​@jhf2121 what propaganda was that? Or wax it thd usual fake news from the right wing media? Tories are tye ones taking Russian money. Try again troll.

Now one understands why J Corbyn didn’t get in. He didnt have the correct politics as far as USA concerned over the Middle East. He wanted change on this topic for decades to avoid all this carnage in Gaza. Corbyn is a humanitarian. Seems USA has too much power over UK politics for my liking .

@@jhf2121 Rubbish. Russia has the right to defend itself.

@@mobsiesixsixsix9785 By destabilising and then invading it's neighbours? Pull the other one. Perhaps you are new to leftist thought but we stand against all Imperialism, not just US imperialism.

And so many lies in her first statement, that it's impossible to debunk them all. This is the first rule in the book of dirty tricks to win debates. But her argument is empty.

​@@abdvs325 How did she win? She got zero applause. Just because she's trotting out talking points doesn't mean people are buying them!

Why is Fiona Bruse right wing, she cut off and challenged the Torie minister 3 times.

@@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn She always does...BBC luvvies are never right wing.

@@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn Fiona's husband has a big government contract it's all over Twitter bring back Victoria Derbyshire.

At the very least he wanted to make change. Starmer won't change sh*t.

Not one word of which could ever have been implemented because he is unelectable

@@AZ26744 funny how Labour want to renationalise the rail network, came straight from Corbyn's manifesto.

@@AZ26744 They said that about Johnson.

@@amazoniaamazonia7225 and yet Johnson won an 80 seat majority pushing Labour to its worst result in generations

Workers Party

@@curiositycat22workers party

The Greens are fruitcakes but at least you won't be voting Labour! No one should vote Labour...ever!

She came 3rd in the leadership election she's 'soft left' apparently not it's New New Labour, it really kicked off there not good, 2nd was Corbyn ally Rebecca Long Bailey if she was leader thing would of been different let's be honest the state of the Conservatives is the main reason Labour are ahead the same way as any leader of Labour would be currently.

They continue to disappoint.

You’ve only JUST realised? 😂

Red and blue Tories.

Just vote tactically then to get the Tories out then moan about labour. If the Tories get in or even if there is a Hung parliament. They would take it as "FKN HELL, we can do what the Fk we like now! welfare, bye bye, free NHS, bye bye. More (private) prisons, and more poor people to fill them. It will become a Brazilian type of economy with zero public services. Police will have licence to kill protesters and almost anyone outside the gated communities protected from the Tory created favelas....' Still if Nandy's given you the 'Ump.

They don't have policies to make things better on the contrary it will be worse borrowing £116bn for net zero of course paid back by you and I

@@samhodgins9804 Tory!! But even so surely it's time to admit your side is shit and need a reboot even Man U and Chelsea fans are admitting that!

Love this... muy bien

As we have to borrow each and every month, we have no money. They get a sniff of it and then its gone! For that very reason, we have never had austerity...ever!

More like a pooella😂😂😂

Also the warmonger of Labour

Grace was spot on. It's getting more difficult to try to see any difference between politicians in either party. What lecture was Nandy talking of. She was very defensive. It was pretty terrible behaviour. They have lost their political. Souls if they ever had one.

But, US UK, we’re in the same freaking boat.

That's total bullshit.

Owen changes just like the wind.

Those same people thought Keir Starmer would be a good leader. Shows the terrible judgement of these people.

Really? What did she say

Probably took lessons from Starmer. Is that tool still confused?

@@WillScarlet1991 🤣😂🤣

You mean French and Italian governments?

So true, it's so clear what's happened. Probably billions of taxpayer money has been syphoned off to shareholders instead of improving the infrastructure. The state of the rail companies is an embarrassment.

Yes and also the train leasing companies, that's where the mega funds are disappearing to.

Starmer is fully on board with bankrolling corporations with public money and placing the risk and burden on the taxpayers whilst refusing to close the tax loopholes for those same companies. When you look at how Mcdonnell called out the billionaires at Davos and compare it to Starmer fawning over Larry Fink and having his private meetings with him...its pretty obvious that whatever Labour used to stand for is gone.

People dont realise that rail françaises are still operations of direct government.

😂😂😂😂😂

She can't see eye to eye

£20k of licence payers money...she probably had to fight off Thornberry to gain the seat!

They’re very electable for the capitalist class. A safe pair of hands to hold ground whilst the tories regroup as a far right party.

@@jgmediting7770 Far right! 🤣😂🤣

@@jstewart4205 yes. Unlike you I seem to understand history, economics, the political spectrum; and why such things happen at major economic inflection points.

you could always have another 5 years of Tories

@@AZ26744 I will take that. It takes 15 years to recover from Labour every time they get into power! Personally, I cant be arsed waiting another 20 years!

@@jstewart4205 You would rather have another 5 year Conservative government than a Labour one? I’m astounded

@@AZ26744kier starmer don’t make me laugh the blokes a clown 🤡

No don’t worry, we can “rest assured” Nandy being honest this time.

Yes I was irritated by fact she got cut short . She is an articulate person but not a verbally assertive person plus I think she was a bit phased by the lies/half truth Lisa Nandy happy to shout …..ie regarding Starmer interview/LBC etc…..anyway this show is always weighted in favour of right wing spokespeople. Be interesting to get a minute /second run down of how much air time the left wing actually get to talk before being cut off. I dont include Labour under Starmer as being Left wing as they evidently are not.

I quite like what the green party stands for but we have to find some way to facilitate the push for net zero without all of the exploitation that drives it. As much as solar panels are a good idea, having kids in the congo digging out cobalt by hand in illegal artisinal mines run by Glencore or PV being assembled using Uyghur slave labour in Chinese concentration camps is not worth the human cost IMO.

@@user-SubvurzIV i agree. The uncomfortable solutions i mean are forgetting the gdp myth, localising as much as possible and acceptig a major drop in relative living standards, lowering expectations but looking after eachother 🌎💚🌍

@@mattliamjack3293 there’s zero reason for a relative drop in living standards.

@@jgmediting7770 just counting.

The left are fully in bed with the corporations on the net zero scam

No more for ordinary people, because the capitalist elite are sucking it all up at an ever accelerating rate. And there’s always money for their interests.

We borrow each and every month...there is no spare money, only how you share it out and prioritise it.

Probably her handler. Probably from a Labour right think tank.

Nah, Galloway can serve a very valuable service pulling the socially conservative working class away from the far right strategy. Take culture wars and such away from them, and the elite have no tools left to protect its economic and political interests.

Not going to vote Labour but not going to vote for a party that plays down climate change either.

Exactly what I have been saying since Tony Blair - except I say Tory Lite. As a Socialist I voted Against Blair in 1997.

Absolutely!

Do they? They said that in 2010 and we ended up with a referendum without PR included. Like all representatives of the capitalist elite, they lie to ordinary people. They’ll never do anything which threatens minority rule.

Both the tories and the labour right know what they stand for. They are also very aware of how disastrous it would be to tell the truth about it.

Looks good in paper, but solves nothing. Their job is to serve the capitalist class, and that’s where the lying comes from. If you want to stop politicians lying, you have to address the root cause. Once you do that, then you can have a law like you say. Otherwise, it will just become another tool to protect those class interests.

Boycott Nandos.
