Food Banks ? Recently Mr Corbyn was invited on to a news show where he said ‘ there was no food banks in 2010 “ after I’d checked it out, I found out that there was food banks in 2010 , A Massive thirty five food banks in the whole country , today there’s well over 3,000 off them , well done Tories,,,,
Now that's a banking crisis.....of a different kind. The modern version of a soup kitchen. I don't remember any such thing pre2008. Caused by the banks.
Indeed, so much so, many MPs were taking selfies at food banks "celebrating" their use in general. Jacob Rees-Mogg described the use of food banks as "a wonderfully charitable idea that has helped thousands….." while in the same sentence saying that he's proud of the organisations that set these up in the first place. He actually celebrated them.

The 100s of millions lost om the criminal PPE scandal, 170 million wasted on the Rowanda scheme, no windfall tax on gas companies having over a billion in profit etc. The money is there, it is obtainable, the Tories just choose not to. The issue is the distribution of wealth, not the availability of it.
So many jobs, zero hour contracts, jobs through agencies where they get £30 an hour, and you get £12. Constantly on probation contracts, where at the end they get rid of you, and get someone else, would not want you having any workers rights, like sick days or holidays. 6hrs in one jobs, 4 hours in another, and a few hours in another job, maybe somewhere in between you can get some sleep, or see your kids. Oh, and do not forget you have no workers rights yet again, so do not dare to get sick, pregnant, or have a family member die. A fulltime, fully supported job, with workers rights, and security is going the way of the Dodo. Productivity is at the cost of work security and workers rights for the Tories.
Right on. It’s astonishing to watch the Tories destroy the country and then expect a huge round of applause for an extra £420 a year for a family. Un-freakin believable. His paid dining expenses are probably much more than that per month, or week! And he expects a family devastated but their ineptitude and world events to turn things around with an extra £35 a month!! Think about that.

@@spidos1000 she's on GB News, she's married to the Reform UK leader and ALL she ever talks about is immigration obsessively. She just said she'd have zero legal immigration despite the state the NHS. What do you call that bollox? This is better than usual, at least she pretends to be a journalist. Usually it's someone from a Think Tank who gets paid by rich people to campaign for tax cuts for the rich. The UK is finished, it's just run by red tops, private school pricks and think tanks. Shame, I used to love it when I lived there.
I hate to say that I agree with Isabel in some of these things. We fail on all levels of getting people into work, managing migration, running public services. I think some of these are sociological deep routed issues but the conservatives have been there for it to deteriorate for 13 years. I support immigration but it is true that it is horribly mismanaged by tories.
That guy, just had to waffle on and evade the question. After 2 years of applying for jobs and getting interviews/not getting anywhere. went to i2i and they got me a job within 3 weeks. Job centres need to be restructured, and get people who will try and understand people.
Funny thing about her is she’s on tv calling for disabled people to get out to work as they’re not that disabled and struggling and forgetting she’s tweeted asking for help and guidance over her friend who’s struggling with fatigue… my response to her was tell your friend she’s not that disabled and go to work apparently that’s not what she considers acceptable 😉
Fun fact, Oakshot is a big brexit supporter of Liz Truss and her Singapore on Sea idea, remember her. Also, not one mention of the impact of Brexit, just covid and Ukraine
Oakeshot is the 'partner' of ageing glamour boy R Tice of the UK fruitcake er... Reform party. She also has a slight 'Gary Oldman as old-Dracula' hairstyle going on.
Because she’s an arrogant, misinformation spreading, xenophobic, corrupt and clueless tool of the libertarian right and the worst ideas in politics? And an utterly horrible excuse for a human being.
@@natmeyy7590 wtf are you about 500 to 1mil average migration a year we all know is far to much. Even left wingers can't disagree plus even starmer says that way to high it has to come down
The Labour representative was an embarrassment, couldn’t answer the question and just waffled on about nothing. I’ve lost count the number of times the non-dom money is going to magically pay for everything.
No she wasn't, she was being shouted down by a loud mouth Fascist. Amazing you dont reply to the continuous spin from the Tory, like a Formula 1 car going round n round n round.. Like they aint broken anything. Year on Year the non dom tax, plus the vat on rich kids.. Gives around 4.5 billion year on year. 2 billion is set aside to the NHS, totaling 40 million a week. A bit less than the 350 million a week in "The sunny uplands fairy-tale" granted, but itll happen in the real world, 40 million. Year on year on top of what is already going in. As for the shortfall, the remaining 2.5 billion thats raised will go to this horrendous shortfall of 12 billion a year... Which the Tories have created. So 10 billion required, as she said, the Manifesto aint finished, but ill bet you half, 5 billion comes from the rich in this country. Theyve bnever had it so good for nearly 14 years. Payback time. 😂 The other half, will be adjusting government departments. So there you have it. Suck it up buttercup 😂 Ps Labour will hit. 340 plus seats next year. You can bet on that. ❤
This is the vacuous soul of Labour, no solutions just keep repeating how terrible everything is. As the man in the audience pointed out: we have a £410 billion debt after furlough plus the oil crisis.
😂@Flow. Keep reading the Daily Fail. Before covid. The tories had doubled the national debt, from 1 trillion to 2 trillions. Remind me again, what caused that? It now stands at over 3 Trillions.. So given half of that increase was on covid, ill say half, but whats 100 billion to this government 😳 Where did the rest go? And you go on about 410? Peanuts to the Tories disastrous governance of our economy. But im sure the Daily Fail will tell you different. 😂
Pretty much confirms my belief that MP’s concider the general public as being stupid , they should look in the mirror , if they think we believe a word.
Oakeshott was only on there representing her lover Richard Tice how dare they put her on the panel as an individual . When after running down the tories and then the Labour Party , The only thing she didn’t do was promote The Reform party . I was very surprised that no one on the panel didn’t call her out about it .
HELLO!!!! how did you think the Furlough money was going to be paid back! During covid, help me government, help me! After covid, WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT IN SO MUCH DEBT 🙄🙄🙄🙄 lord help us, they walk amongst us!!!!
I hate it when people ask questions about politicians private lives or wealth. It’s sanctimonious, slows down the debate and doesn’t demand a serious answer, it just corners them and forces them to say “I’m was the first person in my family blah blah blah”
My strong advice to anyone struggling right now... Things are only going to get worse from here. Time to get out if you can. Stop paying tax, stop paying rent, ration energy next summer and save as much money as you possibly can for the next 12 months. Sure, the landlord with threaten eviction, and the council will chase you for tax and you'll be tired and cold all the time... But even on minimum wage, you should have the ability to save a few thousand pounds. Take that and leave. Iceland is a good option, Greenland an even better one... If the cold bothers you, south America is a good idea, Cuba or Argentina. The only chance the UK oligarchy has to continue to have growth in a country so declined as the UK, is to fully roll out automation and export remaining jobs. In 5 years unemployment in the uk will be at least 50% (likely closer to 80%)... Long before it gets that bad... You want to already have moved out of the UK and gotten settled elsewhere... Before millions of others get the same idea.
I could see the writing on the wall at the beginning of the 1970s as I concluded a 5-year technical apprenticeship. I was only 24. I decided to leave the UK for the powerhouse economy in Europe, Germany and stayed there for 12 years. I never regretted doing so. I should have stayed longer. Now Britain is in an even worse state, yet young people seem fearful of moving away from their comfort blanket.
Our education rating system is probably the biggest cause of why we end up needing immigrant labour for the entry level jobs. Schools use % of kids who go onto college to advertise. Colleges use % of kids who go onto uni to advertise. They push them along that stream to improve their statistics and dipping out of education to go work is seen as the wrong choice and only done if you are unintelligent.
England belongs to only a handful of truly industrialized nation in the world. When I use the word "industrialized" I am describing a society that has an inherent ability to develop forward. That is to create new things (like machines, energy to power machines, or services) that are useful to human beings. Most anthropologists (or myself to be correct) define "industrialized" societies as a subset of "civilization." Civilization is when human society achieved agriculture, i.e. the efficient mass production of food such that a significant portion of the society's population can do things other than generate food. That is when human society takes off as stated by many anthropologists on RUclips documentaries. The modern conveniences created by industrialized societies are impossible to predict. We simply do not know what geniuses or unique thinkers in an open society where individual property rights are protected by the rule of law (free-market, capitalism) will invent next. How can we design an educational system that will meet what is required for the future? I think people who believe in liberalism as the optimal way to run a society will have a problems designing an educational system since they assume no one can predict the future. People who believe in communism and socialism believe they can optimize society with a 5 year plan like Mao and Stalin. The success of Mao's Great Leap Forward and Stalin's Farming Collectivization are self-evident. Which type of society has achieved more for its people?
@@duckbizniz663 I wasnt commenting on the designing of the educational system and its curriculum but rather the way in which it is 'rated' and why that is designed in a counter productive way if we want to encourage kids to feel able to decide for themselves to join the workforce early and not be teased by their friends or peer pressured by their teachers. We did this abit with apprenticeships, but I think more could be done.
Why does the audience have to 'Always reflect the overall electoral picture across the Nation'. Surely, the reason for QT being recorded/broadcast from a different location each week, is to show how different regions think and vote on political issues. What maybe an issue for someone in Scunthorpe doesn't necessarily effect someone in Stratford upon Avon. It would be far better to get a true reflection of how the local majority feel, rather than diluting their issues, by reflecting the National average.
Watching the Tory MP squirm during points raised about how the working class are being screwed again and again. Benefit claimants get a bigger rise whilst we paying for it get hammered again.

There are big holes in the UK' s economic and external policies, which have been the root of all the causes of the current difficulties. If the British people want to have control of the UK borders to reduce the influx of foreign workers and refugees, the Education and vocational system, and external policies will need to be reformed to help the local working class to have professional skills to be able to meet the requirements of the local employers, and no longer have to take any responsibility for any involvement in such foreign countries where the refugees come from. The 2 main reasons why the local employers would rather hire foreign workers are lower labour costs and professional skills, which foreign workers are more competitive than local British coworkers. What the UK has been doing about the problem of too high immigration rates is like removing undesired weeds by cutting the tops, but not the roots,mand they will certainly grow again out of control. What the UK can and should have done is to help the local workers to meet the local employers' requirements so that they can accept the local workers, instead of hiring foreign workers. Foreign people come and stay in the UK permanently only when they can get employment offered by the local employers. So, if the local employers know longer need foreign workers, having got qualified local workers, they will no longer need to hire bany foreign workers,vand the number of economic immigrants will automatically decrease dramatically, without any need of making tougher immigration policies to worsen the relations with the EU countries any further Again, people who want to migrate to the UK for economic reasons will come to the UK only when they can achieve their economic goals. Oherwise they won't, and if they no longer see any of such economic opportunities offered by the local British companies, they will no longer want to try to migrate to the UK. No demand, no supply , and decreasing demand leads to decreasing supply. The cause of the high rates of immigrants into the UK is not coming from foreign workers themselves, but it comes from the employers and people within the UK who want to hire them, and the key to solve the problem is to reform how to educate and train the local British people so that they can meet the local employers's requirements. It is a very simple logical reasoning. But it seems that all of the politicians of both of the political parties have been too incompetent to understand how to solve such a simple problem in the easiest way without having to waste so much time and resources, but still not making any good progress. The uncontrollable influx of refugees is a consequence of the UK external policies on the UK international relations with the EU and countries where the refugees come from. The problem of refugees' s persistently illegal crossing the channel from France to the UK can be improved by improving the relationship with France and the EU
One of the most frustrating shows in existence. As always, the two people on the panel who are actualy IN OR WANT TO BE IN GOVERNMENT are completely incapable of answering any question AT ALL, with detailed examples or explanations to the voting public sat right in front of them. Absolutely disgraceful. The two people who are not politicians are the only ones who speak honestly. Appalling reflection on our broken political system, and our broken discourse.
The Tory politician quite deliberately misled the audience, the national living wage is not obligatory, it’s up to the employer if they want to pay that increase or not. The national minimum wage is obligatory
Isabelle Oakeshotte. Such a shame. (I'm not going to listen to a word of this. Oakeshotte is highly partisan, in fact a bit of a weirdo.) Seems I don't have to add much.
From minute 27;43 of this video, So according to this woman, We are completely cured of our disability/mental health and are capable of working? Waiting times for help from the nhs is through the roof, We do not choose to have a disability/mental health, the attitude of this woman and the tories is insulting.
Yeah, no one actually answered the question of who is going to employ someone who can say , I can only work on a good day, sometimes I will not be able to work for weeks at a time. Oh, and when I am at work I may have, severe panic attacks, manic or schizophrenic delusions. Or dependent on how I feel after my Chemo, I may or may not be able to work. Shame matches are not popular anymore, they could get the disabled to sit at home and make them 🤬 Absolute disgrace, demonising the disabled once again!
We are NOT "absolutely worse off" as was said by the guy on the panel. That cannot be true as the use of that word is an extreme out of place use that places one in absolute poverty which means death and starvation. The over use and out of context usage of the word "absolutely" is becoming a joke and places the user in a place of not knowing the English language! Stop using that word unless it applies. You can't say that you were "absolutely cold" if you do it means you are dead.. what do you really mean then?
Re the unemployed and get a job otherwise you`re going to lose your benefits notwithstanding - on the grounds that there are a million vacancies in the UK. The trouble is that there`s a shortage of Doctors and Nurses and Maths Teachers. These are where vacancies lie. What`s an unemployed person to do ? Become a mathematician over a weekend ? Work in the fields ? Sure - I`d do that if my home depended upon it. I have no idea how this country can declare that it has a shortage of fruit pickers... If a person can pick fruit then that person is able to work. Who TF gives them the option of deciding not to and allows them to sit at home on benefits ?
Oakshots crazy. Its not that brits dont want to do farm picking, its that all the unemployed folk are in cities and the farms are in the country. Its not like theres housing or public transport out there how the heck do we think those people would get to those jobs? Particularly considering how anti traveller and iterinerany workforce the govt are?
Bring back National Service as well as learning armed combat learning a trade so you are work ready in nursing, building ect they can start with our armed forces right now.
The Army are opposed to National Service because they don't want to play nursemaid to a load of glue sniffing football hooligans peeling spuds in Aldershot
Oakeshott - what a tool - what is her end game? She's advocating lower taxes for all so where is the infrastructure to actually look after people in their dotage? Principally healthcare, but also infrastructure such as transportation etc. The public would have no issue in paying taxes under any party if they were assured that the monies raised would be used responsibly. Without taxes there will simply be no support for the majority of the population. That's the majority of people on this forum too. A few extra quid in your pocket now - sod all when you (and others) need support later.
Well they said work pays ive worked since ive left school in 1996 never claimed a penny i need a operation in soon got too stay off work for 2 wks woth sick pay when i have friends sat in the pub laughing at me spending there 300 pound cost living payment
Question Time went down hill (and I stopped watching) when they stopped doing the viewer interactive service.when the panel was wittering on, the comments were better entertainment.
Its actually really simple to fix the UK economy but nobody has the will to do it. 1. Tax labour less than passive income. 2. Nationalise food, water, energy and transport. 3. Pass on benefits of productivity gains to the citizenry rather than allow wealth transfer. Do these three things and everyone will have a better life. Im not saying stop there... But ffs, the promise of technological advancement has always been, less need for work, more free time more leisure, better quality of life... And yet because of greed and unfair distribution of productivity gains... It has gotten worse not better. Automation is accelerating and AI and robotics may soon put 80-99% of workers out of jobs. If we don't fix the wealth distribution system soon, 1% will literally own everything.

12:56: "90% of us, that is probably most of us in this room..." Stating the bleeding obvious!
it was one of the pledges, that's why people keep going on migration.
We are a country very good at talking.
Talking whilst rearranging the deckchairs …
That Isabelle is definitely a witch
Needs to get high.
That woman says it doesn't matter how much you earn people are still struggling....how does she work that one out...
Lets face it. Farage is reaching a much larger audience on I'm a celeb as opposed to being on this show with a bunch of light weights on the BBC thurs night grave yard shift.
The BBC ALWAYS have one far right panelist whose job it is to do what Fiona Bruce would like to do and not let anyone else speak.
Oh stop it with the far right cobblers, these days anyone slightly to the right of Lenin is far right😂😂😂
Far right? Who?
@@spidos1000 she's on GB News, she's married to the Reform UK leader and ALL she ever talks about is immigration obsessively. She just said she'd have zero legal immigration despite the state the NHS. What do you call that bollox?
This is better than usual, at least she pretends to be a journalist. Usually it's someone from a Think Tank who gets paid by rich people to campaign for tax cuts for the rich. The UK is finished, it's just run by red tops, private school pricks and think tanks. Shame, I used to love it when I lived there.
i know! how dare she not want exponential numbers of immigration. Das rasist
@@maxstenson6437 lmao 🤣 true mate can't say anything about immigration or your called a racist
I hate to say that I agree with Isabel in some of these things. We fail on all levels of getting people into work, managing migration, running public services. I think some of these are sociological deep routed issues but the conservatives have been there for it to deteriorate for 13 years. I support immigration but it is true that it is horribly mismanaged by tories.
Government spending should not be looked at in the same way as running a business, as a government must care for all, capitalist business does not.
In theory one might say Government must care for all but in reality it does not.
That guy, just had to waffle on and evade the question.
After 2 years of applying for jobs and getting interviews/not getting anywhere. went to i2i and they got me a job within 3 weeks. Job centres need to be restructured, and get people who will try and understand people.
Job centres are not there to find you a job.
What actually are Oakeshott’s desirable skills? Asking for an exhausted and impoverished nation…
CLUELESS on that subject does not know what WANT means!
Funny thing about her is she’s on tv calling for disabled people to get out to work as they’re not that disabled and struggling and forgetting she’s tweeted asking for help and guidance over her friend who’s struggling with fatigue… my response to her was tell your friend she’s not that disabled and go to work apparently that’s not what she considers acceptable 😉
I'd like to see her fruit picking
i'd like to see her hairy badger@@Kit-yv7ob
👍🏾@@Kit-yv7ob
They should swap show titles QT - Antiques road show and AR as Question time / much more applicable.
Fun fact, Oakshot is a big brexit supporter of Liz Truss and her Singapore on Sea idea, remember her. Also, not one mention of the impact of Brexit, just covid and Ukraine
Oakeshot is the 'partner' of ageing glamour boy R Tice of the UK fruitcake er... Reform party. She also has a slight 'Gary Oldman as old-Dracula' hairstyle going on.
Why is she even on the panel? She is rude, interrupting other speakers and only trying to burnish her own credentials……
Her Daily Mail columns are awful, but fair play, she tore a new one for Andrew Griffith. Didn’t expect that!
Because there has been no impact of Brexit...just the lockdowns that you supported LOL
@@bobnipperess Because she is the only one making sense in a sea of idiots
Why do people take an instant dislike to Oakeshott? To save time.
Because there left wing loonies who want mass immigration despite the small country we have so naive how some think
Because she’s an arrogant, misinformation spreading, xenophobic, corrupt and clueless tool of the libertarian right and the worst ideas in politics? And an utterly horrible excuse for a human being.
Because she is a Fascist 👀 That White, Blonde, Ideology thinking was last seen in the hitler youth.
Just a thought
Because she's a self-serving payed agitator. That makes a living from stirring up hate and division.
@@natmeyy7590 wtf are you about 500 to 1mil average migration a year we all know is far to much. Even left wingers can't disagree plus even starmer says that way to high it has to come down
wow, the young cameraman has proper boyband 90's curtains, never thought I would see them back
Oakshot so rude just cutting in how she is allowed to do that
The Labour representative was an embarrassment, couldn’t answer the question and just waffled on about nothing. I’ve lost count the number of times the non-dom money is going to magically pay for everything.
No she wasn't, she was being shouted down by a loud mouth Fascist.
Amazing you dont reply to the continuous spin from the Tory, like a Formula 1 car going round n round n round.. Like they aint broken anything.
Year on Year the non dom tax, plus the vat on rich kids.. Gives around 4.5 billion year on year.
2 billion is set aside to the NHS, totaling 40 million a week.
A bit less than the 350 million a week in "The sunny uplands fairy-tale" granted, but itll happen in the real world, 40 million. Year on year on top of what is already going in.
As for the shortfall, the remaining 2.5 billion thats raised will go to this horrendous shortfall of 12 billion a year... Which the Tories have created.
So 10 billion required, as she said, the Manifesto aint finished, but ill bet you half, 5 billion comes from the rich in this country.
Theyve bnever had it so good for nearly 14 years.
Payback time. 😂
The other half, will be adjusting government departments.
So there you have it.
Suck it up buttercup 😂
Ps Labour will hit. 340 plus seats next year.
You can bet on that. ❤
She was dreadful laughable tbf
As a Labour voter I totally agree with you, she took all the sideswipes from Oakeshott without giving back as good as she got.
This is the vacuous soul of Labour, no solutions just keep repeating how terrible everything is. As the man in the audience pointed out: we have a £410 billion debt after furlough plus the oil crisis.
😂@Flow. Keep reading the Daily Fail. Before covid. The tories had doubled the national debt, from 1 trillion to 2 trillions.
Remind me again, what caused that?
It now stands at over 3 Trillions.. So given half of that increase was on covid, ill say half, but whats 100 billion to this government 😳
Where did the rest go?
And you go on about 410?
Peanuts to the Tories disastrous governance of our economy.
But im sure the Daily Fail will tell you different.
😂
Pretty much confirms my belief that MP’s concider the general public as being stupid , they should look in the mirror , if they think we believe a word.
The only people that spoke the most sense were not politicians, that says everything about UK politics!
So sick of politicians spouting absolute nonsense and speaking in generalities. They are oblivious to people's actual needs.
They don't know the questions? Give us a break! So the bunch of written notes they've got are what then?
Legend has it that Oakshott pays rent on that table
She's a hottie, no adverse comment from me.😉
Oakeshott was only on there representing her lover Richard Tice how dare they put her on the panel as an individual . When after running down the tories and then the Labour Party , The only thing she didn’t do was promote The Reform party . I was very surprised that no one on the panel didn’t call her out about it .
Rubbish
Who cares she is very intelligent and very easy on the eyes.
HELLO!!!! how did you think the Furlough money was going to be paid back!
During covid, help me government, help me! After covid, WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT IN SO MUCH DEBT 🙄🙄🙄🙄 lord help us, they walk amongst us!!!!
Bit shocking that the lady talking at 45:00 had to explain that she was offering a metaphor... and a good one at that.
~50:00 "Do more with less" is just the opposite of what the government is doing.
I hate it when people ask questions about politicians private lives or wealth. It’s sanctimonious, slows down the debate and doesn’t demand a serious answer, it just corners them and forces them to say “I’m was the first person in my family blah blah blah”
Agreed. 100%. Childish debating built on unintelligent thinking and jealousy.
Incredible that so many people apologise for Tory criminals, who have stripped the UK bare.
What Planet are they on ?
My strong advice to anyone struggling right now...
Things are only going to get worse from here.
Time to get out if you can.
Stop paying tax, stop paying rent, ration energy next summer and save as much money as you possibly can for the next 12 months.
Sure, the landlord with threaten eviction, and the council will chase you for tax and you'll be tired and cold all the time... But even on minimum wage, you should have the ability to save a few thousand pounds.
Take that and leave.
Iceland is a good option, Greenland an even better one... If the cold bothers you, south America is a good idea, Cuba or Argentina.
The only chance the UK oligarchy has to continue to have growth in a country so declined as the UK, is to fully roll out automation and export remaining jobs.
In 5 years unemployment in the uk will be at least 50% (likely closer to 80%)...
Long before it gets that bad...
You want to already have moved out of the UK and gotten settled elsewhere... Before millions of others get the same idea.
I could see the writing on the wall at the beginning of the 1970s as I concluded a 5-year technical apprenticeship. I was only 24. I decided to leave the UK for the powerhouse economy in Europe, Germany and stayed there for 12 years. I never regretted doing so. I should have stayed longer. Now Britain is in an even worse state, yet young people seem fearful of moving away from their comfort blanket.
Our education rating system is probably the biggest cause of why we end up needing immigrant labour for the entry level jobs. Schools use % of kids who go onto college to advertise. Colleges use % of kids who go onto uni to advertise. They push them along that stream to improve their statistics and dipping out of education to go work is seen as the wrong choice and only done if you are unintelligent.
England belongs to only a handful of truly industrialized nation in the world. When I use the word "industrialized" I am describing a society that has an inherent ability to develop forward. That is to create new things (like machines, energy to power machines, or services) that are useful to human beings. Most anthropologists (or myself to be correct) define "industrialized" societies as a subset of "civilization." Civilization is when human society achieved agriculture, i.e. the efficient mass production of food such that a significant portion of the society's population can do things other than generate food. That is when human society takes off as stated by many anthropologists on RUclips documentaries. The modern conveniences created by industrialized societies are impossible to predict. We simply do not know what geniuses or unique thinkers in an open society where individual property rights are protected by the rule of law (free-market, capitalism) will invent next. How can we design an educational system that will meet what is required for the future? I think people who believe in liberalism as the optimal way to run a society will have a problems designing an educational system since they assume no one can predict the future. People who believe in communism and socialism believe they can optimize society with a 5 year plan like Mao and Stalin. The success of Mao's Great Leap Forward and Stalin's Farming Collectivization are self-evident. Which type of society has achieved more for its people?
@@duckbizniz663 I wasnt commenting on the designing of the educational system and its curriculum but rather the way in which it is 'rated' and why that is designed in a counter productive way if we want to encourage kids to feel able to decide for themselves to join the workforce early and not be teased by their friends or peer pressured by their teachers. We did this abit with apprenticeships, but I think more could be done.
Thanks for oisting
Why does the audience have to 'Always reflect the overall electoral picture across the Nation'. Surely, the reason for QT being recorded/broadcast from a different location each week, is to show how different regions think and vote on political issues. What maybe an issue for someone in Scunthorpe doesn't necessarily effect someone in Stratford upon Avon. It would be far better to get a true reflection of how the local majority feel, rather than diluting their issues, by reflecting the National average.
Alison McGovern was out of her depth Christ
Didn’t give a great deal of inspiration did she?
This Questions Time was a total chaos. Not Fiona Bruce's best in matters of controlling the discussion and interruptions.
David Dimbleby was great at the job and pretty unbiased. Fiona Bruce is a typically lefty with agenda to divert people from the truth
Best point was that he lives in a 10 million pound house.
And that’s why he knows how the poor live … bumps into his cleaners occasionally.
Watching the Tory MP squirm during points raised about how the working class are being screwed again and again. Benefit claimants get a bigger rise whilst we paying for it get hammered again.
I get your I but why punch down on poor sick people. They didnt cause all this
Senior roles at sky and just eat 😂😂 it's hilarious 13 years late look what we are doing whilst schools and hospitals crumble , £450 😂😂😂 I became a nurse to help but I live near loads of people who do nothing socially responsible but EARN FAR MORE
Waffle, waffle, we want, we should, it could be, dont ask for details, forget discrepancies, talk it up, dont think i can watch QT anymore. Its just around and around we go..
Who cares what oakshot thinks shes not an MP,goes out with the head of reform, conflict of interest , anyone ,she talks absolute crap
Be specific, which points were incorrect?
Why is she on there ,specific enough
Both Cons and Lab are good for nothing
Bring in proportional representation
Good comment 👏
Wy is Geertrud Wildershott on there again
She's often rolled out when the BBC needs a right-wing pundit. Or in her case, extreme right.
There are big holes in the UK' s economic and external policies, which have been the root of all the causes of the current difficulties.
If the British people want to have control of the UK borders to reduce the influx of foreign workers and refugees, the Education and vocational system, and external policies will need to be reformed to help the local working class to have professional skills to be able to meet the requirements of the local employers, and no longer have to take any responsibility for any involvement in such foreign countries where the refugees come from.
The 2 main reasons why the local employers would rather hire foreign workers are lower labour costs and professional skills, which foreign workers are more competitive than local British coworkers. What the UK has been doing about the problem of too high immigration rates is like removing undesired weeds by cutting the tops, but not the roots,mand they will certainly grow again out of control. What the UK can and should have done is to help the local workers to meet the local employers' requirements so that they can accept the local workers, instead of hiring foreign workers. Foreign people come and stay in the UK permanently only when they can get employment offered by the local employers. So, if the local employers know longer need foreign workers, having got qualified local workers, they will no longer need to hire bany foreign workers,vand the number of economic immigrants will automatically decrease dramatically, without any need of making tougher immigration policies to worsen the relations with the EU countries any further
Again, people who want to migrate to the UK for economic reasons will come to the UK only when they can achieve their economic goals. Oherwise they won't, and if they no longer see any of such economic opportunities offered by the local British companies, they will no longer want to try to migrate to the UK. No demand, no supply , and decreasing demand leads to decreasing supply. The cause of the high rates of immigrants into the UK is not coming from foreign workers themselves, but it comes from the employers and people within the UK who want to hire them, and the key to solve the problem is to reform how to educate and train the local British people so that they can meet the local employers's requirements. It is a very simple logical reasoning. But it seems that all of the politicians of both of the political parties have been too incompetent to understand how to solve such a simple problem in the easiest way without having to waste so much time and resources, but still not making any good progress.
The uncontrollable influx of refugees is a consequence of the UK external policies on the UK international relations with the EU and countries where the refugees come from. The problem of refugees' s persistently illegal crossing the channel from France to the UK can be improved by improving the relationship with France and the EU
One of the most frustrating shows in existence. As always, the two people on the panel who are actualy IN OR WANT TO BE IN GOVERNMENT are completely incapable of answering any question AT ALL, with detailed examples or explanations to the voting public sat right in front of them. Absolutely disgraceful. The two people who are not politicians are the only ones who speak honestly. Appalling reflection on our broken political system, and our broken discourse.
The Tory politician quite deliberately misled the audience, the national living wage is not obligatory, it’s up to the employer if they want to pay that increase or not. The national minimum wage is obligatory
Labour spokes person hasn't got a clue!!
Isabelle Oakeshotte. Such a shame. (I'm not going to listen to a word of this. Oakeshotte is highly partisan, in fact a bit of a weirdo.) Seems I don't have to add much.
Andrew Griffiths can talk for England, and more !
Patrick Grant is spot on.
Alison McGovern is far too meek to be in this role! Where are the Labour firecrackers~!??
Lady in red has really got her claws out
From minute 27;43 of this video, So according to this woman, We are completely cured of our disability/mental health and are capable of working? Waiting times for help from the nhs is through the roof, We do not choose to have a disability/mental health, the attitude of this woman and the tories is insulting.
Yeah, no one actually answered the question of who is going to employ someone who can say , I can only work on a good day, sometimes I will not be able to work for weeks at a time. Oh, and when I am at work I may have, severe panic attacks, manic or schizophrenic delusions. Or dependent on how I feel after my Chemo, I may or may not be able to work. Shame matches are not popular anymore, they could get the disabled to sit at home and make them 🤬 Absolute disgrace, demonising the disabled once again!
@@iisotter8944 Not the way I put it, but yeah, We don't choose to have mental health. We sure as hell don't people demonizing us.
Working is the best cure for 'mental health'.
@@pelvicthrustful So your answer is to force people into work who are unwell and unable to do so.
hahaha what a load of crap get rid of the tories
All these politicians are so banal with the boring set-piece nonsense 💤💤💤
We are NOT "absolutely worse off" as was said by the guy on the panel. That cannot be true as the use of that word is an extreme out of place use that places one in absolute poverty which means death and starvation. The over use and out of context usage of the word "absolutely" is becoming a joke and places the user in a place of not knowing the English language! Stop using that word unless it applies. You can't say that you were "absolutely cold" if you do it means you are dead.. what do you really mean then?
Brexit is the great big white elephant in the room.
public spending, their the ones wasting all our money.
In interest of balance who feels better off after the autumn statement. One tory gammon puts his hand up. Balance my arse. What a joke! 😂
Only watched this because of isabel 😊
Work full time for a crap wage makes you ill
I prefer there being 4 panellists
I felt the range of opinions was a bit limited so I would go for five.
Re the unemployed and get a job otherwise you`re going to lose your benefits notwithstanding - on the grounds that there are a million vacancies in the UK.
The trouble is that there`s a shortage of Doctors and Nurses and Maths Teachers. These are where vacancies lie. What`s an unemployed person to do ? Become a mathematician over a weekend ?
Work in the fields ? Sure - I`d do that if my home depended upon it. I have no idea how this country can declare that it has a shortage of fruit pickers... If a person can pick fruit then that person is able to work. Who TF gives them the option of deciding not to and allows them to sit at home on benefits ?
that woman in the red is a terrible joker of a woman.
Why for telling the truth 1. Both parties tories and Labour are useless. Correct. 2. Immigration is far to high. Correct. Just facts
Mrs. Oakeshott reminds me of Rita Skeeter.
Reminds me of the T-1000 🤖
Looks like bruce has brought along then pensioners from antique road show
Oakshots crazy. Its not that brits dont want to do farm picking, its that all the unemployed folk are in cities and the farms are in the country. Its not like theres housing or public transport out there how the heck do we think those people would get to those jobs? Particularly considering how anti traveller and iterinerany workforce the govt are?
Bring back National Service as well as learning armed combat learning a trade so you are work ready in nursing, building ect they can start with our armed forces right now.
The Army are opposed to National Service because they don't want to play nursemaid to a load of glue sniffing football hooligans peeling spuds in Aldershot
Such a happy chappie eh - Andrew Griffith. 🤣
Thank you from a 48 year veteran nurse, Here, here! get people off the dole and into jobs
So you were a nurse yet you'd force sick people to work. How callous
48 year long gravy train 🚂
Bla bla bla all talk talk .no action from those Muppets on the panel
surely survival in the jungle....it's Nigel Forage....(ing) ?
Oakeshott - what a tool - what is her end game? She's advocating lower taxes for all so where is the infrastructure to actually look after people in their dotage? Principally healthcare, but also infrastructure such as transportation etc. The public would have no issue in paying taxes under any party if they were assured that the monies raised would be used responsibly. Without taxes there will simply be no support for the majority of the population. That's the majority of people on this forum too. A few extra quid in your pocket now - sod all when you (and others) need support later.
Fioa, are the chair person? Try and shut those two to your right to shut it.
Well they said work pays ive worked since ive left school in 1996 never claimed a penny i need a operation in soon got too stay off work for 2 wks woth sick pay when i have friends sat in the pub laughing at me spending there 300 pound cost living payment
I still wouldn't vote Tory!
Question Time went down hill (and I stopped watching) when they stopped doing the viewer interactive service.when the panel was wittering on, the comments were better entertainment.
Its actually really simple to fix the UK economy but nobody has the will to do it.
1. Tax labour less than passive income.
2. Nationalise food, water, energy and transport.
3. Pass on benefits of productivity gains to the citizenry rather than allow wealth transfer.
Do these three things and everyone will have a better life.
Im not saying stop there... But ffs, the promise of technological advancement has always been, less need for work, more free time more leisure, better quality of life...
And yet because of greed and unfair distribution of productivity gains...
It has gotten worse not better.
Automation is accelerating and AI and robotics may soon put 80-99% of workers out of jobs.
If we don't fix the wealth distribution system soon, 1% will literally own everything.
