I hope the Unions will always be at the Heart of the Labour Party, the Rightwingers whine on about it but they don't have any Problems with the vast amount of wealth and influence pouring into the Tory Party and has done ever since it was formed. We need Men like Mick Lynch to stand up to the Right it's Media and hold them to Account.
Hard to dislike Mick. A little sense in the senseless 2020s
A prominent Brexiteer still….
@@Believe-you-me- Yes, true, most died down of them, now too !!
I despise him. A militant, self serving leech. A dinosaur that wants to keep archaic working practices, who has cost the UK economy hundreds of millions with his strikes.
No confidence in Starmer n his government I wonder how long it will last
This is the time to judge the previous government and their lack of achievements, not the current one
@@Litheon11 we knew for years what tory government would be like and was like yet we still voted them in or shall i say voted in by the elite and rich if you get backed by them and media you win its simple as that, not much changes will happen with starmer party he will blame the tory party to bring more cuts yet they cant tax the rich, so its broken system where they hurt the poor n middle class whilst the rich get richer, regardless of the party you vote for its same
Mick Lynch feet on the ground.
Mick Lynch has cost the hospitality industry £5 billion.
I doubt anyone will be able to talk any sense to Starmer
The real person to run the UK
He’s a twat. A multi-millionaire who stands up for greedy train drivers on a measly £70,000 a year.
Goodness gracious me!!! Please no Mick for PM 😮😮
@@lawolstenWhy not ?
There are much better people suited to run this country than most of those who stand as MP's and Mick Lynch is top of that list. Why does the British public not choose who they want as their MP's and political party to form a government filled with all of those much better people like Mick Lynch, Carol Vorderman, Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnel, Zarah Sultana, and many more. Most who put their selves forward to stand as MP's do it for personal gains, or to help corporations, the ones who want to improve the lives of the British public never get in to the position to do so or they have been converted by the promise of personal gains. Is there anyone who bel;ieves that Johnson, Cameron, Sunak, or Starmer signed up to a political career to improve anyones life other than their own and those who provided the improvements for each of them.
Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell had a crack lad, they did embarrassingly.
Because if it worked that way we would end up with a dysfunctional government which could never align on issues and would have a very difficult time organising themselves.
Also certain public figures need to preserve their public images and that is more valueable for political discourse in some occasions than direct power. Vordeman and mick lynch have both said they have no interest in running for office because theor current roles are equally if not more important.
That's my honest and sensible politics fix for the day.
Good on you mick alot of oaps are still union members like me who have been union member for over 50,years now so we have a voice in the union's keep up the good work
Why?
Perhaps if the unions hadn't got their staggering wage increase, the OAP's wouldn't of had their fuel duty cut?
Always a pleasure to listen to Mick, just basic common sense without ridiculous soundbites.
It’s always a pleasure to listen to him.
What gets me is that Labour was set up by unions to represent the working man in the factories , so Labour is the unions , so it is about time they realise this and react to there supporters and not to ignore their members as the Tories did and help out the lower working class .
Mick giving grown-up advice to the inept chancellor. Hopefully she will listen to him and to the patriotic millionaires, also the Mile End Road economists.
He has cost the UK economy hundreds of millions, affected the hospitality industry and his unions member's pay rises with no change to their working practices, has cost the UK tax payer billions.
Great guy Mick Lynch, a proper grown up! Apart from voting for Brexit 😅
Brexit is just moving power from the EU Superstate to Westminster. Corbyn should of accepted the result of the Referendum. He was anti EU all his political life just like his hero Tony Benn.
He wouldn't of crashed in the Old Labour Leave seats to.
He voted for it for the non racist reasons. Perhaps naively
@@OlanKenny so when mick does it to protect his interests it's okay but when the general public do it to protect theirs they're racist. Can't really win with you lot.
That's the only thing I disagree with him 😅 he would be great prime minister
@@OlanKennyMany decent people got duped ,our media are partly responsible for what happened 🤷♂️
In there world we want have money to back good people like Mick Lynch soon we are on OUR knee's down here in the working class....We need change asap.
Forklift truck driver "NOT" A SKILLED JOB wtf there are people in the Work place right now that should not be on a FLT i have seen them....Profit over Human life is driving Us all the World off a Cliff.
Sorry mate everybody has a vaue no matter what they do .After all where would we be with out forklift truck drivers, bin men, cleaners etc., You are the glue that keeps the Country functioning.
@@noramartin96 ye we are it breaks my heart what a pot of gold has done to the Elite of OUR world we all share it born Blank innocent Babies, it is what the rat race Brainwashers use with that makes us who we are grow up see violence all around well /Riots on our streets bursting prison pop, i see Ethen off grind hard pumping comp on RUclips out my window people just not given a chance to find their Gift, 30p is my mp he is in my way /sigh i want to help the Poor not Lock them up 4 trying to survive in a Cruel rat race
The government is not bothered about us OAP, please help us out .
True, I mean keeping the triple lock and increasing the amount pensioners who receive winter fuel allowance, yep nothing. Though i admit they may have set the bar for income a little to low and should done it on council house banding. Meanwhile everyone else has been squeezed for 14 years and it will continue.
The vast majority of pensioners have done alright over the 60-70 years but the under 30s have had one hell of kicking and it continues!!!
@@ozjobThat's because under 30's have a poor work ethic. Apparently 30% of them are pulling sickies post COVID. Do a 60 hour six day week and ditch all your crap.
Because I was a universal benefit
Oh they are They want to obliterate us!
if labor don't reinstate winter fuel payments what are the unions going to do about it ? (we pensioners would like to know ) bet they let them get away with it ( wait and see )
Bold centro left reformatory party with him in charge of it that would be something great
Go for it Mick.
I would like to see the unions ditch the Labour party. Unions are supposed to represent the members not a political party. Same as MPs are supposed to represent their constituency not some party dictator.
What a numpty its the the name "Labour" and the unions have been a part of the party from the beginning aren't union members constituency members as well you've had a plop in the wrong lavatory.
Labour should listen and respect the unions
Don't expect that when they take £4 million donations from hedge funds in the Cayman Islands.
They did that’s why they got a pay rise.
@@phillipcarter8045 and cost the UK taxpayer over £9 billion as a result with absolutely no change to their archaic working practices.
Thank goodness for the likes of Mick. Labour have shown their direction of travel re hitting the poor. Tory team 2 being funded by big corporate interests.
Mick's trikes have cost hospitality £5billion. Imagine how you'd feel about him if your business was affected.
Mick is right tax the money back from the rich maybe this team have no idea how to do that
Mick is like a breath of fresh air, he talks in a sensible and common sense way about the real issues, he doesn't dodge the difficult questions like politicians.
I left the union this year, been a pensioner for 7 years. The unions are just “I’m alright Jack.” 🦉
Sensible man !!
Still supports Brexit 🤔
@@Believe-you-me-. And labour .
dinosaur and leech
Free movement from the European Union was a wetdream for Big Buisness and the oil 🛢 for the Gig Economy, just Eat and Deliveroo Buisness Model is based on cheap foreign Labour
I wonder why Talk TV don’t interview Mic lynch is it because they are scared of him that’s my guess
It would be really helpful Nick if you could actually help contextualize it out there for people because decades of misinformation has LED people to a wrong understanding of how national economies work vs personal economies
the unions run labour with out the unions money the be no Labour Party hahahaahhaha
You look good in Mark's and Sparks !
no he doesnt but god bless him anyway lol
@@fenfen147 😃
Are we going to have more maned train station
NO . 😊
No confidence in this current government or its leader.
I have full confidence in this current government and its leader.
@@californiadreamin8423 How does it feel being in a minority?
@@notjustforhackers4252 I don’t follow a crowd of Lemmings, or work my mouth before engaging my brain, but go ahead you seem to know.
@@californiadreamin8423 Why is your only defence to insult others opinions? Not the sharpest are you!
@@noramartin96 Well NORA all I said was I have every confidence in this current government and its leader. If you don’t like my opinion it’s your problem.
Forget union influence. Local elections...kick Labour out...!!!
Sure bro, let’s go back to the gentrified corrupt elite from the last 14 years?!
So you don't like Mick Lynch? Well you must hate this guy?
How about the 🗳️ london underground and tfl ballots
How about the London Underground being cleaned up .
Yeah where is the investment had enough of conservative policies and lack of investment. End austerity
Mick says it as it is. Reeves should be sacked with stalin starmer get rid. ASAP.
Why is mick there? No influence
Why is he there, his union is not affiliated to the Labour Party
Love JOE delaying part 1 on the conference to upload this first just to spite Eva saying their interview with Mick Lynch will come after. 😂
Working class hero
He’s a multi-millionaire. He campaigns for pay rises for greedy train drivers on a measly £70,000 a year.
@@BAR-id4yztrain drivers are in a different union, ASLEF. The average wage of people in the RMT is less than £30k.
So I see you have no clue what you're talking about...
@@michaelrch Perhaps if you don’t like the salary of a job then.. don’t apply to do that job? Really not difficult.
@@BAR-id4yz oh I see you understand nothing about how job markets work under capitalism. Nevermind...
@@michaelrch Again, don’t like the pay? Don’t apply. Really not difficult. Stop crying.
Both sides are kidding themselves. This is just the honeymoon period. It just a matter of time before Mick gets honest with his union members, changes his tune, and re-engages in adversarial combat with the establishment government du jour. There's not pence difference between Tory and Labour. Indeed, Labour is a misnomer; it does not represent nor care at all about labor or fundamental socialist labor principles. I'm afraid Mick is taking the mick here. What's the basis for him opining that Labour has a more sensible approach? Has Mick been seduced or worse still paid off in some way?
Lynch is a Brexiteer unfortunately. Brexit has cost £140 Billion and rising.
Get out Labour
Labour....Get in 👍
@@robbielad. TROUBLE . 👍
@@phillipcarter8045 Change 👍
The union is no longer for members but for their own pockets. This is not what the unions were created for to fill their own pockets. The union was built to protect all. Members need to take back control of their inions.
disaffiliate & back the greens, Mick. You're wasting your time with Tory Labour.
If we can have driverless cars, why cant we have driverless trains?
This man is a pain
He speaks very well of you!
Can I say it . A-E
Then what would you think of this guy ruclips.net/video/e1RUDd3e0kI/видео.html

He's lying!! On your enrollment for the Unions you can enroll to fund the Labour party or not. Even if you tick no , know one how much still goes to fund Labpour. So the Unions are paymasters.
