What factors prompted Rishi Sunak's call for a general election ? | Vote 2024 

true UK society gone

Not all of it is

@@Darren-pq5oc Most of it is except for the already wealthy Tories.

The British middle class continues to shrink while the politicians and their wealthy cronies continue to get richer and richer.

Because of covid yeah your right but they won’t mention that will they

Well for God's sakes campaign to get another vote on rejoin or stay out of the European Union then..It was a Brexit result achieved through lies

Greed is part of the problem that's why prices have shot up and the tories are blaming war on ukraine and covid. It has nothing to do with that. I think they are helping private companies before they get kicked out like for example the waterboards that are making mass profits.

Diesel still 1.55. Rent and mortgage costs are never included in official inflation numbers despite making up 60%+ of peoples income

​@ilikelampshades6. 60% really, rent is 17% of my income

Some of that is supermarket price gouging, when they're posting record profits at Tesco that's because they're not being fair or honest with the consumer.

Look at Australia its gone through the roof not just the uk

@richardcodd5323 At least your wages are more than doubled what we earn. Our cost of living is more expensive that Australia yet our wages are less than half for a like-for-like job

Same with Canada, cost of living up the roof but wages still the same.

@@ilikelampshades6 your dollars a lot stronger

Labour is not the answer!

@@aclark903 Labour always has to fix Tories' mess.

@@user-eg4dv1bm2e The mess we are in right now has more to do with Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine than anything Rishi has done.

My cat is so greedy lately 4 lots of whiskas a day he eats He communicated to me tonight that he is applying for a Job in the Financial District Chief Fat Cat I helped him with his CV Wish him luck 🎉

He will certainly win see the bigger picture: Left Brexit got Indian prime minister for cheaper labour and under his influence to weaken Indian and Russian relations. Brining back national service to create bigger army to get ready to fight against Russia collectively with other EU members and Nato members!!

Racist . Just because he is Indian doesn't mean he is disloyal, that's sooo Trumpian

@@nevadatan7323 Not wrong. The number of people officially homeless in this country is genuinely mind-boggling. All our peer countries pale in comparison.

My rent has stayed the same. Therefore inflation is at 0%

That's rent set by your landlord, nothing to do with inflation

@@Chaos_Senpai Yes, not directly related to inflation, but proof that landlords need more regulation. Sadly the Housing Bill will now fail to pass with the impending dissolution.

@@Chaos_Senpai This is why inflation is calculated wrong and it is so out of date.

Your rent is not an indicator of inflation as a whole but I feel your pain and agree 2.3% is total BS.

Goes for both party's sadly, all a load of freeloading vermin.

Same happened under Labour, houses which were affordable doubled plus in price. Add in inflation caused by quantitative easing which gives more money to the rich and bailing out the banks then the country never really recovered since 2008.

​@@witlesswonderthe2nd883never recovered because the Tory's shafted us. The 2008 crash was global...

@@witlesswonderthe2nd883It’s like people forgot how truly bad Labour were

@coochieman7887 yes some have very short memories on how bad they are with their lots of promises but lack of delivery. Inflation was rampant in the 70’s thanks to them and we had the winter of discontent. Fast forward and we have the same crap involving houses which they created a ridiculously overpriced market making virtually impossible for millions to buy a home thanks to their lax rules and easy borrowing. Anyone thinking life will get better once they’re in will find it’s the usual breadcrumbs for the workers as they continue to erode the standards of living for those voters. My mother is in her 80’s so has witnessed the little they have done for their loyal followers, she also says they haven’t really been Labour in the true sense since not long after the party’s inception. Having lived through both party’s in charge I can confidently say that neither have the public or country’s interest at heart and are complete dross.

I mean i think anybody can work hard but no one is liking Sunak because he is not doing a good job and labour is clearly the better option. But nothing to do with only poor people can work hard.

Utter bullshit nothing to do with brexit

100% didn't want to suffer the same embarrassment as Truss

When did he say anything like that? In fact he pointed out the relative price levels despite lowered inflation rates.

It was actually a surprisingly good piece for sky news standards, the cumulative increases are often left out and people get confused. This shows clearly the time frame and in reality we have had near 40%+ inflation in about 2 years. Plus the tax burden one does lay it out quite starkly, conservative so called govt of low tax.

And labour would be any better?

​@@Chaos_SenpaiLabour are not called the nasty party, the Tories are.

No no boss sir , why u want vote Indian Sunak Out. We need more Indian Uber drivers dentists doctors , newsagents ,sweet shops . We Indians are taking over the UK boss no.

Labour would send this nation down the drain

Your inflation is down probably because of rising taxes, rents, electricity, etc.

Lowered inflation doesn’t mean lowered prices.

It’s not down, it’s just not increasing as much as it was.

When inflation rates fall prices don't fall - they just rise more slowly.

Inflation is the rate of change. Lower inflation doesnt decrease prices, it just means they increase slower. For prices to go back to 'normal' inflation would have to be negative which has its own heap of problems

wife's

That is so funny

Never it's here to stay sorry.

that price increase will be permanent, the only hope is that wages are going to catch up to that

@@herisuryadi6885 thats not gonna happen

@@21agdmnm Yeah

30? 300 more like

Including Biden and trump

Sadly we wont, they will believe the socialists...I cannot blame them as I fell for their lies in 1997 when I turned of age (nothing got better for me and nothing will get better this time either).

But all of them are better than trumpf. Stay away from trumpf.

Wish us luck. 😂🫡

The economy is doing far better than under Gordon Brown.

@@28pbtkh23 Try telling that to the millions of people using food banks every week, there were none under Gordon Brown, so the real truth is that the economy is being calculated in such a way that the impact upon the people is being hidden from view, deliberately.

He had plenty of money before becoming pm

@@sudika108 ahhh silly me thinking a business man by nature would be interested in making more money if given the opportunity :) I forgot they all make decisions from the goodness of their hearts

@@S-uw3dm as a business man he can make more..... He won't be limited laws and scrutiny.

Or arrest warrant

I thought riot or revolution was coming.

Er, Nobody did.

Nobody vote for him, he only imposed himself on us with the help of Tories

And from Labour with their left wing woke policies.

Workers party gb make sure no torys win red ones or blue

An the LAST thing we need is socialism...!!!

​@@paulgibbon5991not really. There's a clip of Starmer admitting he likes Davos more than Westminster even

Why would they go down? Lower inflation doesn’t mean lower prices.

In a FPTP system, voting Labour is the clearest route to removing the Conservatives from government. I’d argue we shouldn’t even use FPTP but that’s beside the point.

No chance of Sky doing that, they are fully paid up members of the Tory fan club, CH4 might do it, now that the threat of more legislation has gone away.
