The Tories are lying to you about the economy | Eddie Dempsey interview 

This bloke should to be on tv at least as much as 30p Lee Anderson. Real working class ✊

Mick lynch and Eddie Dempsey are exactly the type of people we need in Westminster, why would they take that job is anyone's guess but we need their like .

SOLIDARITY WITH THE WORKERS✊

Working class hero, who constantly talks sense. This is who the working class should be listening to, not grifters like Farage and his ilk.

I wish him and Mick would start a new party.

Eddie Dempsey talks complete sense, why isn't he on the TV a lot more? The mainstream media are scared of people like him.

Very refreshing to see an eight minute interview where every question asked was answered, and not answered with a word-salad but with a rational reasoned argument/debate.

You'd think they'd realise that ordinary folk having disposable income actually helps the economy. Kinda makes you feel the ladder is being pulled up, doesn't it?

He's phenomenal - competent, informed, principled... and comes across as down to Earth and honest. Can't he run as an MP??

The privatisation of everything we saw go from public to private hands over the last few decades has been disasterous for everyone except for those companies making vast profits and not reinvesting it in our infrastructure and services. Whether it's transport, water or energy we've seen prices go up but quality, investment and availability go down. And I don't think this was an oversight when privatisation took place, they knew that it would funnel huge sums of public money into the already wealthiest's hands. It wasn't a bug, it was a feature.

Solidarity to all workers ✊✊✊mick and Eddie for running the country

Well said Eddie, top Man. Solidarity ♥

Eddie rocks!

I like this man , he speaks sense !

I do wish Eddie and mick were in our government- we are with you all the way

Eddie Dempsey is a man who speaks with eloquence and a deep knowledge of the historic and present day problems besetting our rail system and public services generally👏👍

Mick and Eddie should be running this bloody country!

Good to see Eddie keeping this in the public eye.

All the government does is set a target for inflation, in this case it's 2%. How that is reached is independently done by the Bank of England. For the Government to take credit is the equivalent of a football manager taking credit for a Lionel Messi solo goal

These are the people that should be running the country

Eddie truly is a top man. Honest, fair, strong, principled, knowledgeable, succinct, confident, and clear. Gold star geezer! ❤👌🥇

Don't you worry, I'm alright, Jack We've never had it so good There's plenty of grouse at the country house We're eating as we should

Keep fighting the fight brothers ✊✊✊✊

Tell them, Eddie! Good luck to you, Mick, and the RMT. Solidarity!

What a fella, Eddie Dempsey 👏

Go get eh Eddie you and Mick are the governments worst nightmares. Power to the people ✊✊✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Don't forget all the government contracts that have gone to P&O since condemning and doing nothing once out of the news.

I hope Labour don't give P&O any contracts and link it to this issue

Solidarity ✊🏾

Yes it affected a lot of P&O workers in Hull since then one of the routes has not returned to service from the Port of Hull, we only have Hull to Netherlands now not Hull to Belgium offered which will have reduced visits to the Port of Kingston Upon Hull. When they are at sea the minimum wage law does not count as they are not on land! Inflation figures don't include everything people buy and lower priced owned brand stuff has continued to increase more than luxury products in terms of food and non-food.

Dempsey and lynch are for the working class.

Why is white-collar crime so 🙃unreported.....?

Everyone needs to ask where 15 billion has gone over COVID and where the loan has gone that the government took out before COVID it was 6 hundred million 😅

I loved watching Eddie putting Ann Whidicomb in her place with facts on a TV panel. It will be on you tube too.

He’s right. The only thing be privatised here is the profits.

That microphone is amazing! Lovely audio.

Nice to know the next generation of RMT leaders are as capable and eloquent as Mick Lynch.

Well done Eddie Dempsey - this no-nonsense interview says it all. We urgently need more people like you in the media!

Good lad, I hope he looks into the amount of money flowing into companies that supply nurses to the NHS and theb put their profits offshore

Well done Eddie. Compare his knowledge and plain-speaking with the gibberish you get from Tory MPs.

GBNews claims to represent the working class but won't interview this guy!

Love Eddie!

I don't understand why British workers would work on a vessel that was paying £5 an hour am i missing something?

Wish we would have someone of this caliber in Sweden as well; proper working class man, fighting for workers.

0:13 This explains why the trains have been such a mess. I didn't know about any of this.

Unfortunately no party is up to dealing with it as they don't want to. They worry about the time they are in office and not beyond. British politics needs total revamp and all parties need to work together.

I probably don't agree with him on everything politically completely but my god these trade unionists know how to speak.

Should Run for Mayor of London

I'm a supporter of unions but I am totally pissed off with them for supporting Brexit?!!! What the hell were they thinking? Brexit was inevitably going to erode workers rights!! AND the workers who actually went along with it!!!

Fairly certain the corporate media have been keeping thrse guys off tv because theyre tok effective at messaging. They were actually getting popular and we cant have workers getting popular can we.

Shocking the way the system works for the working class and all deliberately done

Straight talking and clear, everybody should get to hear the facts. Cheers

Get 'em Eddie!

I and many others got sacked by P&O in 1988, whilst on a legitimate industrial action. The ILO, which is part of the UN, stated that we were unlawfully sacked. We waited for a Labour government and nothing, The RMT, of whom I was a member of at that time have done nothing for us, nor did a Labour government. Why should it be different now? Nothing will happen for these people and if it does, what about the people from the 88\89 strike? I like Mick Lynch and co a lot, they talk a lot of sense, most of the time, but they are just p1ssing in the wind here.

Whilst I agree with what he says, it is worth remembering that the RMT encouraged their members to vote for Brexit, which directly impacted their members working for P&O.

they would've got it in par with the French if Britain was still in the EU

Man talks proper sense and we need to listen

Say it as it is, love that

well said, Eddie.

Absolute legend 👊

Labour isn't really a friend of tade unions either unfortunately, they snubbed striking railways workers and prevented their own MPs from attending pickets!

Make Eddie Prime Minister! Absolute HERO! Speaks truth! Eddie, love you! Thank You.

All workers are poorer under the current government Inflation must take into account housing pricing in its calculations on the cost of living.

The Tories would love us to work for bread and water.

Good luck to these hardworkers

Eddie dempsey is a gem🎉

Regardless of your political persuasion, lynch and Dempsey put their points across really well. Both parties would benefit from seeing how they interact with the public. The only criticism I have of Dempsey was the fact he didn’t see a problem with earning 100k a year but not relinquishing his council house

Very good speech

I would definitely believe him before I’d believe Starmer

Great guy

EMA DHL ramp workers striking refused rise offers. DHL diverted cargo planes to BRU 😂

Perfect timing of a Thames Water van passing just after 4:45, very much a case in point. Also as some commentators have pointed out the hidden devil in the detail of how asset inflation is often ignored in inflation, one of the biggest ways the rich are getting ever richer at the expense of everyone else- make sure most people cannot afford such assets so most people get poorer to your benefit. These assets can impact other aspects of wealth/poverty such as housing which is increasingly a cave of gold for the rich to hoard away to everybody else's cost. Even saving is moving out of the realms of realistic possibility for many. Greed is now so out of hand that sadly far far worse may be yet to come. Bare minimum wages, people who work full time who cannot afford any real quality of life (but they've got their turnips and cheese sarnies so that's o.k. isn't it?) Enough is enough, a lot of things have to change.

Fantastic video

I back the unions 100%. But why didn’t they believe the post office workers about Horizons ?

Eddie Dempsey will always stand for the working class of Britain.

Get Eddy on Question Time

Mick and Eddie working class heroes in the true sense of the words they follow in the footsteps of the giant bob crow another true working class hero..thats the bloke that rotten Johnson refused to share a media studio with..for fear of being made to look the fool that he is and always will be.

Put him on Question Time.

This guy should be in charge of the Labour party

Razor sharp as usual, Eddie.

an actual human being spotted in ghoul territory should be front page news

What's new 😮 the political class fill there own pockets

Bang on Eddie. You da man.

Hero

Nice guy 👍✊

We could all vote for None just spoilt the ballot. We should have a choice of real normal people to vote for but how many MP’s and wannabe’s are lawyers, Barristers.

"...zombie set up..." Dempsey telling it how it is

At this point I'm thinking of just moving to China, my working rights would be the same, wage is about the same but the weather is better and food would be a takeaway each night but it's normal dishess.

Like this guy.

Legend

Governed by rich sociopaths, Britania waves the rules

This the UK's best car salesman

Very similar to what they do in India 👍

I've met Eddie and he wouldn't sell his jacksie and beliefs for more air time and publicity unlike Anderson and some others.

Eddie knows his industry and the problems with our money disappearing Let’s hope a labourovmt can look to him and Mick Lynch for advice in sorting this out and getting value for money.

Vote for Brexit 😂 LMAO

Dear Eddie, I recommend you watch Richard Wolff's Economic Update and his Marxist assessment of the US economy. Wishing you the best. Will someone pass it on.

Camera op can’t even level a tripod

Get rid of the tory drips please that's what I wanna here please

This was a benefit of Brexit a race to the bottem
