I think a lot know it, but they are constantly told (and it is reinforced by the electoral system) that they don't have any alternative... hence labour looking to win big, but with very little enthusiasm
According to Israel everyone in Gaza is Hamas. They do not want anyone to live. They want it emptied. Can build new condos by the sea to make great real estate apartments for all your political buddies from the Colonial greats if anyone is left alive there. Then Israel can get on with trying to do the same to Lebanon then Iraq. They will never stop until they are permanently stopped by the countries funding, arming, and giving them political and diplomatic cover.
Starma is the stuff of real nightmares... people are desperately waving their arms and bellowing warnings but not enough voters are listening to the impending catastrophe.
Attlee & FDR both succeeded with massive state investment & forcing corporations to contribute to rebuilding society, Keir begs corporate class to invest in his timid growth strategy, all whilst refusing to tax wealth !!!!!!! Love to you
It’s not as easy to tax wealth as might think. Attlee and FDR lived in different times, a time when wealth was not so easily moved and when governments had more power than corporations. Why don’t socialists like you ever research anything all you do is reduce everything to oversimplified binary points scoring.
@@helenswan705 Quite right. Capitalists are being bankrolled and bailed out by the state (we the plebs) over and over and over. They are laughing all the way to the bank - which we also bail out. And everyone knows it since 2008. Nevertheless we persist with allowing this wealth extraction and hoarding to persist... Why ?
"The tapeworm of asset management is throughout the stomach of the British economy, eating all the nourishment of our labour puts into the economy" I love this analogy, thanks for the reminder, Labour are so disingenuous.
One of the lowest acts in a series of horrendous attacks to kill doctors and health professionals. Protected by international law because of their importance to humanity. We are in a horrible place in this world.
Theoretically, of course, laissez-faire capitalism investing is just the same as betting on one of the choices offered by a casino's roulette wheel: It's just a form of gambling. Sometimes you win, but most often you lose. Most humans are too ignorant/stupid to understand that. Warren Buffett is a good guesser & knows the house always wins. But DJT's casino went bankrupt!
More chilling news regarding the machinations of the aspiring Labour government. Why is Jaqui Smith anywhere near their plans after the expenses scandal? Not to mention her husband knocking one out on the tax payers dime.
Totally agree. starmer wants to make labour posh and be the new tories, if labour was led by anyone but starmer they would have had my vote now its green !
Starmer quickly backed down from the proportional representation promise. 😢 My vote for the green candidate in Uxbridge and South Ruislip will be lost.
Farage's comments on the RN are not so surprising. The RN critiques neoliberalism and deregulation. Farage is totally for both, hence his support for Luz Truss.
When are people going to understand that it makes 0 difference if Labour or Torry are leading. The rich will get richer the poor will get poorer, the wars will continue. I feel sad for all these people going to vote Labour, still oblivious, and thinking their vote makes any difference. But they are also complicit in what follows.
"The tapeworm of asset-management..." Brilliant. I can't back this up with evidence, but I'm pretty sure there was a time during one of Blair's Governments when Alan Milburn was effectively made Minister for Labour's Election Campaign, which at the time incensed me as I couldn't understand why the media wasn't picking up on a Minister being paid by the public purse to do a job that was only in the interests of a political party rather than running the country. It always struck me as corrupt. I have no problem with MPs helping their party to win an election -that's their duty- but to appoint a Minister for that sole purpose was indefensible. This is the most depressing episode of Novara Media I've seen -and I'm only 20 minutes in.
Farage stands for one thing above all: getting headlines and being inflammatory. Saying exactly what you wouldn't expect to me seems like a strategy from his playbook.
Not just useless; he will make lots of noise, yes. He will also cause a crash at least three times worst than what the lady, Liz truss did- at least this is what he is offering; plus, of course, will sell the nhs system to the highest bidder, the American corp companies, owned by Israel
Oh no the nightmare of my NUS days keeps returning, as both women, quite quietly dull, I knew, before their rise to power and witnessed how they easily lost their principles in return for wealth, status and power.
Centrists always ope the door to the extrem right. The collapse of the Wiemar Republic should be a lesson to us all about even slightly accommodating any right wing parties at all in any way. The collapse of the British state, the inevitable result of brexshit, can be attributed to Camoron's attempt to accommodate the extremists in the tory party opening the door to Fartage and his fascist cronies.
Jeremy Corbyn put Boris Johnson in power, a right wing populist The collapse of the British state can be traced back to 2015 when Corbyn took Labour left and made it unelectable
That misogynist idea could be proved or disproved with a bit of scrutiny. But generally, expenses scandals are, well . . . expenses scandals. and nothing is ever done about them.
It's not just what the Tories have done in the last 14 years that makes me feel disaffected with politics, it's a lot to do with what Kier Starmer himself has done.
The National Health Service (NHS) is one of the United Kingdom's most cherished institutions, providing healthcare free at the point of use to all citizens. As such, the leadership of the NHS is a matter of significant public interest and political contention. Recently, allegations of a Labour plot to replace the NHS chair have stirred considerable controversy, highlighting the deeply ingrained political dynamics surrounding the health service. At the heart of this controversy lies the claim that the Labour Party, in anticipation of future electoral success, is maneuvering to install a new NHS chair more aligned with its vision for healthcare. Such a move would undoubtedly be politically charged, as the chair of the NHS holds substantial influence over the direction and priorities of the organization. The current chair, a government appointee, is seen by some as closely aligned with the Conservative Party’s policies, which have included austerity measures and privatization efforts. These policies have been criticized for contributing to underfunding and staffing shortages within the NHS. Proponents of the alleged Labour plot argue that a new chair could help reverse these trends and reinvigorate the NHS with a renewed focus on public service and comprehensive care. Labour’s healthcare agenda emphasizes increased funding, improved working conditions for NHS staff, and a halt to privatization. Appointing a chair sympathetic to these goals could facilitate the implementation of such policies, ensuring that the NHS remains a robust and publicly accountable institution. Critics, however, argue that any attempt to politicize the leadership of the NHS is fraught with danger. They contend that the health service should remain above partisan politics to ensure that decisions are made based on the best interests of patients rather than political expediency. There is also concern that such a move could set a precedent for future governments to replace NHS leadership with politically aligned individuals, thereby undermining the stability and impartiality that are crucial for the effective management of the health service. The broader context of this controversy includes a general distrust in how the NHS has been managed in recent years. Accusations of politicization are not new; various governments have been accused of using the NHS to further their political agendas. The Conservative Party, for instance, has faced allegations of steering the NHS towards privatization, a charge they deny, insisting that their reforms are intended to increase efficiency and patient choice. The potential replacement of the NHS chair also brings to the fore issues of governance and accountability within the health service. The chair’s role is pivotal in setting the strategic direction of the NHS, overseeing its performance, and ensuring that it meets the health needs of the population. As such, the selection process for this position is of utmost importance. It must be transparent, merit-based, and insulated from undue political influence to maintain public trust in the NHS. In conclusion, the allegations of a Labour plot to replace the NHS chair underscore the intense political battle over the future of the UK’s healthcare system. While Labour may argue that a new chair could help steer the NHS towards a more publicly oriented and adequately funded model, critics warn of the dangers of further politicizing the leadership of the health service. Ultimately, the debate reflects broader concerns about how to best protect and enhance the NHS, ensuring that it continues to serve the health needs of the nation effectively and equitably. The challenge lies in balancing political vision with the need for impartial and stable governance, a task that will be critical for the future of the NHS.
You are supposed to be inspired by the massive wealth Blaire has acquired as a result. Mysteriously acquired as we have not been allowed to see his tax returns.
@@roseannemain9957 Meanwhile Rishi gives a $3,000,000 gift to a school in America. Which shows exactly where his priorities lie. Where were the calls from New New Labor or the Con-servatives for his resignation?
Exactly what thexFreeports are for. Businesses in them and the SEZs (special economic zones) will get tax consessions and live outside our laws, then offshore all their profits in British Tax Havens so yet more money will be unavailable to take tax from. In the meantime all manor of trafficking will go on in these places, and no business rates taken by local authorities so the people of these towns & cities will pay more council tax as their towns fall to pieces around them.
Aaron is the Labour behaving differently from the Tory when it corporate Bungs! Labour under duplicitous Starmer is it really different from under Tony Blair?
There is simply no more left in Europe. Left of centre is now the new right. Same in France, both countries have the same type of clowns talking about the same issues. No vision, no plan, no convinction just PR work and infighting
Ralph Milliband was recommended reading when I was being educated I wonder how he would have felt about International Rescue and its use of trusts and donated capital the mind boggles
It is said that pe4ople inside the Matrix will fight with all their might to stay with their version of the truth and will dismiss alternative as conspiracies etc
Labour are going to sort out historical injustices including Hillsborough, miners strike, windrush, Grenfell, post office etc. You can go and vote green and achieve nothing
I am from Boston Massachusetts and when you describe a lot of these political party dynamics its like Im listening to an average American. We obviously are in a horrible situation with our election that looks a little bit like yours (probably worse). Sorry about Blackrock.
Not really suprising as Labour's main advisers are Blair & Mandleson. Both ardent followers of their guru, Anthony Giddens with his "Third Way or Third Position" approach to politics/economics, AKA - Neoliberalism. The rejection of using public money as instructed by using the BoE to mark up accounts via the Supply & Appropriaiton Act for our NHS; infrastructure, eduction, criminal justice, welfare, defence, etc. Instead shrinking the public budget spending (austerity), to hand vital services over to those that lobby parliament so the cream at the top is syphoned off and all the losses handed back to the State. Repeat to fade.
I'm with you Aaron, I hope we don't get that microphone quality again. Sorry Michael, nothing against you personally, but yikes, I thought only some guests had one of those. 😅
By not taxing the corporations the city has all the money. So just tax the corporations and invest in the NHS, Schools, and Transport etc., to build up the economy. What happened to the proposed Transaction Tax on financial services as proposed by the EU now that Farage has moved on!
just wanted to say im dissapointed at a telling off about me doing a harmless act of spreading a hope of getting rid of tories by repeating a sites name of tactical vote use and my being unaware of rules on capital letters.bully girl mentality if you ask me which you wont so im not convinced you are all what you say you are. sorry
I’ve lost count of the number of times the media has talked about french politics and referring to “Far right” and “Far left”. What is far left in France?

I think it's because of immigration. The right in France will encourage the boats. The boats are sad and if this is the only way for them I don't have a problem with this.
It's funny that at the time when France's disinterest in challenging the "far-right", preferring to ignore and pretend they don't exist, at my local hustings the main 3 parties boycotted it because Reform's candidate has apparently been found to have made anti-Semitic comments. Thankfully the Green candidate knew that's not how you beat "the right" and took his seat against Reform, SDP "Christian People's Alliance" (so, the only not-right-wing candidate). That's how you combat the right, not by running away, but by standing up to them, challenging their absurdities and stating an alternative! Just a shame he's anti-nuclear power, so I had to "heckle" him as well as all the others (it was barely moderated, so there was a lot of "audience participation").
I understand the energy debate but I will never support nuclear anything. For our children, my friend, for our children. Vote Green where it counts. For most of us, this is not this election but locally you can do a lot. Have hope, look forward, and write Starmer a filthy letter.
There is no need for Labour to plot, they merely need replace him with a person more committed to the unuversal healthcare system, including dentistry, carehomes and pharmacy services.
Novara Media and similar outlets will be needed even more after 4th July. We know what the tories are like but the new labour government need to be held to account.
The silence is deafening the systems of the past no longer apply right and left no longer exist in the traditional sense you talk the talk but do not walk the walk wisdom comes with age young people like you ignore this at your peril. The EU system is similar to Mussolini s pre war Italy so why are you surprised about what is happening it has been coming for a long time and by sticking to the old paradigms we are allowing this to happen. I despair but I will not shut up if you replied to me with alternate facts
