So now please tell us what you know about EU fiscal union, EU economic union, EU political union, the unification of member states’ armed forces under command of the European Council, the reckless expansionism of the EU across Eastern Europe, and the unfettered migration into the EU from North Africa and the Middle East, at the EU’s open invitation.

Let's go through your list one by one, shall we? 1. Austerity. You will recall, if you don't have the memory of a goldfish, that Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling ran up a National Debt of £2 trillion, in the name of 'Quantitative Easing' (ie. the printing of money). The Cameron government then addressed this issue with austerity measures. 2. Please tell us what you know about EU fiscal union, EU economic union, EU political union, the unification of member states’ armed forces under command of the European Council, the reckless expansionism of the EU across Eastern Europe, and the unfettered migration into the EU from North Africa and the Middle East, at the EU’s open invitation. 3. Boris Johnson was handed an overall majority and a mandate by the British electorate (in view of (2) above), to "Get Brexit Done" and "Leave with a Deal". You will also recall that, before Covid struck at the end of 2019, Britain had the lowest unemployment since 1975 and more people in work than ever before. 4. Truss, an unmitigated disaster after Boris was brought down by his own failings. 5. An extra billion pounds of National Debt was run up by the Tory response to Covid, showering people with money to keep them at home during the pandemic. It is difficult to see what else they could have done. The Swedish policy of "herd immunity", for example, would have been a fatal catastrophe in a small, densely-populated country like ours.

He said nothing of the sort. He said those who want to and are capable of working will be helped back in to work. By fixing the NHS and providing better support for those who need it. Things the Tories massively cut in their 14 years of destruction.
Where is all going wrong for Keir Starmer, you mean that man’s got ago. The Tories were toast with Boris Johnson labourers toast with Starmer so don’t cry over Tories just think about labour are such a poor imitation of a governing power.

The Tories were a massive success they created a low wage economy and a privatized NHS, they lined the pockets of there billionaire mates whilst dumping a steamy pile of manure on the doorstep of the gullible public.

@@darklighter66 I think, from what I've read, he did break rules in listing his grifted clothing as 'office expenses' and only later changed this to clothing. He then stated that his fame and security precluded him from going shopping (remember he's a multi-millionaire and could call the shops to him). He then failed to list his wife's grifted clothing, unpaid for shopping assistant, and the costs of alteration. All pretty grubby really.
@@andal7404 Is there any proof of anything you said there? Because they didn't know if they should declare his wife's gifts because the rules weren't obvious... so they declared them just to be sure. And the whole security thing was about his season tickets to the football. He can't just sit in the stand like a regular guy, because he isn't, and wasn't even as leader of the opposition. There would have had to be a security detail every time he went to a match, or he'd have a private box.
The Tory client media have already started their campaign to get them back in power in 2029, hence their latter day interest in "freebies". Has it not occurred to you that, as these were already known before the election, there could have been some mention of it ages ago. So why now?

Labour has a plan that meets the scale of this crisis' That post that everyone forgets now the pensioners can just freeze to death?
O'Brien believes he is intelligent, but also still believes he lives in a democracy that has independent and opposing political parties that aren't all under the control of the same oligarchy.
What is the point of voting for Labour, if they have the same moral standard ? You can blabber on about "no rules broken", but these are like stepping stones, until you reach the gutter, like the Tories did. While the people are SO desperate that even a mere 100.0000 £ suddenly looks a lot to them.
While Labour were in, the rules were in place, the tories removed them. While morally distasteful, and not reading the room, it isnt / wasnt illegal - and unlike the tories, it was declared so you could see.

I appreciated James O'Brien's views on the Tories, Brexit etc as making sense and rational. What I can't get my head around is his limited and biased view of Labour at this time. Political commentators should be neutral and not partisan. Also, love him or hate him, at least Owen Jones had the gumption to realise the Labour Party he had been a member of since he was a teenager was no longer a party he recognised. I think many in the UK will not recognise Labour. For me, in Scotland, it shows why independence is absolutely required to get away from the Tories and Tories 2.0 (Labour).
Political commentators should be neutral and not partisan? Are you seriously going to hold O'Brien to that when the right wing press and their mouthpieces are as rabid as they are in the UK.

James O'Brien cannot be objective, that is not in his armoury, he is a champagne socialist, the very kind of individual who Orwell had no time for at all.
My spending isn’t going further, because I don’t speculate on currencies. My shopping is limited in choice and 200% more expensive and my utility bills are up 400% since ‘austerity’ and Brexshit. The last 14 years have been an unmitigated social and economic disaster under a succession of majority Tory cabals.

If I were to ask you to proportion out of 100%, what percentage is down to Brexit, what percentage is down to Covid Rules, and what percentage is down to the Tory Government, then what would it be? Starmer has doubled down on austerity, hence why Sterling is gaining strength against the Euro, please keep up to speed, and have a proper adult discussion with me. My position is, that Brexit is a bad thing, however, I respect the vote, one has to move on from Farage, who I find to be a very unpleasant individual.

O'Brian is another one who forgets the pandemic as well as the Ukraine war. The demise of the tories is nothing to do with those 2 significant events. Hey. It all went wrong because Boris Johnson had a couple of 10-minute parties, one for a long serving civil servants retiring. One in the garden after work, which was obviously the main reason for all the country's economic woes. Now he's got his beloved labour party back in failing at everything they do.

Yeah. It's all coming out. All the things they declared and put into the record themselves. How terrible. No laws or rules have been broken. They followed every regulation, convention and tradition they should follow. All of these happened over 5 years. Starmer was gifted less over those 5 years than Boris was in a single "gift" for decorating the Downing Street flat.

Labour is at a crossways, and the leadership of Kier Starmer is not going to help the diversity/youth get involved, his Eton-type arrogance over gifts, the way he handled Islamophobic accusations and how he treats female MPs is going to lose Labour support due to transparency that Tories destroyed in British politics.

Whilst the Conservatives had to go, I am not convinced that Labour really won the election in a convincing manner. This is again rather imbalanced commentary from O'Brien as ever.
I believe that most people who vote, don't usually change their minds, as that would involve admitting you're wrong. The Tories lost because so many of their supporters had died, and the coming generation saw them for what they are.

Christ! Where do you start with that question?!?
James ranting about the Tories, they are out of government and rightly so. Now is the turn of Labour, why not concentrate on their vision and performance?
Can we please pretend we're still in opposition? It's s**t trying to defend.
Nothing Frankly
They're! in this club! together!
They're!!
Nobody's talking about Tories, keep the focus on Labour scandals...
What scandals?

Corruption, incompetence, gaslighting, blaming immigrants, minorities & unions for the country’s problems, partying during lockdown, wasting tax payer money, infighting, prioritising their party over the country, austerity and Truss's mini budget.
@@w-james9277
That covers 90% of it
James doing his best to help his side. Who look like totally incompetent crooks. Who's culture is to rinse the system before they get found out.
Nice projection there.
Labour presented as crooks by the media , but THE TORYS ARE PROFESSIONAL WITH THEIR CORRUPTION AND GREED.
As opposed to the Tories who are supported by... every other media outlet in the country bar the Guardian? It isn't even subtle in the right wing press how obviously they bat for the Tories, or how much the Tories bend over backwards to keep the likes of the Mail happy.
It was bizarre and funny watching Sky News reporter trying to get LT to answer questions today at the Tory party conference. She's a strange woman.
Simply said. The Tories made a mess and voters wanted to punish them.😊
So Starmer and his cronies be aware that may end up earlier than later. 😳
Whats gone wrong with Labour--- already -?
What's gone wrong for the Tories? 🤣🤣🤣 What on earth has gone wrong for labour you mean.. is this man on another planet 🤣🤣🤣. Labour are soon to be done. For decades!!!
How so ? There won't be another election for at least 4 years.
The entire globalist LibLabCon uniparty hopefully
Starmer says everyone off on long-term sick have to go and get a job no matter how poorly they are.
When Tories said something similar Obrien had it as his main topic 4 days on trot. Now silent 😂😂.
All the stuff Labour being exposed for now all over the media even the guardian and James wants us to , quick look over there 😂
Tories nobody cares about James but Starlin Starmer we do you cant run from it forever 🤡😂
Except he didn't say that though, did he?
He said the state should help everyone back to work . And that’s costs money the Tories wouldn’t spend..
Hes just added 10k to student loans debt 😂😂
@@gray41 So, it is only bad when Labour does it, and when the Tories do it it's wholesome and pure?
I'm starting to think that your problem with Labour is that they don't encourage you to act like a whiny child.
He said nothing of the sort. He said those who want to and are capable of working will be helped back in to work. By fixing the NHS and providing better support for those who need it. Things the Tories massively cut in their 14 years of destruction.
Where is all going wrong for Keir Starmer, you mean that man’s got ago. The Tories were toast with Boris Johnson labourers toast with Starmer so don’t cry over Tories just think about labour are such a poor imitation of a governing power.
Yes lets talk about what went wrong for the conservatives in the past. Rather than talking about whats currently going wrong for the labour government. Whats absolutely hilarious, is this is what he was constantly criticising the mail and the sun for doing.
Having clowns in charge with no sense of humour.
Farage destroyed the Tories, not Starmer. He just pointed out they gaslight. They say a lot, but never deliver.
The Tories were a massive success they created a low wage economy and a privatized NHS, they lined the pockets of there billionaire mates whilst dumping a steamy pile of manure on the doorstep of the gullible public.
Perfect description of wee nigel right there
Why do you care about where it went wrong for Tories? Did you miss resignations in the news or more Labour sleeze? Must be ok now as your hero - Starmer's in charge. Starmageddon!!!
Where is Richard Medhurst? You being a default member of the British State ought to know even if you are keeping schtoom about it.
He didnt break rules......but the rules themselves are disgusting
@@darklighter66 I think, from what I've read, he did break rules in listing his grifted clothing as 'office expenses' and only later changed this to clothing. He then stated that his fame and security precluded him from going shopping (remember he's a multi-millionaire and could call the shops to him). He then failed to list his wife's grifted clothing, unpaid for shopping assistant, and the costs of alteration. All pretty grubby really.
@@andal7404 Is there any proof of anything you said there? Because they didn't know if they should declare his wife's gifts because the rules weren't obvious... so they declared them just to be sure. And the whole security thing was about his season tickets to the football. He can't just sit in the stand like a regular guy, because he isn't, and wasn't even as leader of the opposition. There would have had to be a security detail every time he went to a match, or he'd have a private box.
@@TalesOfWar Declaring his suits as office expenses is at best disingenuous.
James you should look no further that old Rupert

Why would you need a freebie when your earning £140,000
Ask Boris.
Johnson trousered millions - he's the expert here.
The Tory client media have already started their campaign to get them back in power in 2029, hence their latter day interest in "freebies".
Has it not occurred to you that, as these were already known before the election, there could have been some mention of it ages ago. So why now?
Tories were terrible but since labour took over I think my view on that has lessened somewhat. Hilarious.

O'Brien believes he is intelligent, but also still believes he lives in a democracy that has independent and opposing political parties that aren't all under the control of the same oligarchy.
What is the point of voting for Labour, if they have the same moral standard ? You can blabber on about "no rules broken", but these are like stepping stones, until you reach the gutter, like the Tories did. While the people are SO desperate that even a mere 100.0000 £ suddenly looks a lot to them.
While Labour were in, the rules were in place, the tories removed them. While morally distasteful, and not reading the room, it isnt / wasnt illegal - and unlike the tories, it was declared so you could see.
@@mustrumridcully3853 The people don't care about the "rules that set politicians free of corruption" they just see their plight not improving, even worsening under Labour.

Well it took 14 years for the Tories to get that bad. Labour under Starmer have manged to get there in under 100 days!

Quick James, talk about anything except the mess Labour are in. Liz Truss, give me strength 😂😂😂
To all the Anti Starmer commentators, who don't or can't understand the true versions of current affairs carefully and gently explained by James O'brien, I challenge you to call LBC and debate your version with him on air ? No ? I THOUGHT NOT !
@@brianferguson7840 This is sarcasm right?

Labour and Conservative are two cheeks of the same backside with neither worth voting for.
Will talk about an election that happened three months ago, still won't talk about his colleague Sangita getting cancelled by Israel.
Course not, he wouldn’t dare.
Of course they loved Tross' budget..they probs made millions off it!!!!
I appreciated James O'Brien's views on the Tories, Brexit etc as making sense and rational. What I can't get my head around is his limited and biased view of Labour at this time. Political commentators should be neutral and not partisan. Also, love him or hate him, at least Owen Jones had the gumption to realise the Labour Party he had been a member of since he was a teenager was no longer a party he recognised. I think many in the UK will not recognise Labour. For me, in Scotland, it shows why independence is absolutely required to get away from the Tories and Tories 2.0 (Labour).
By independence you mean, of course, trying to rejoin the EU. Be careful what you wish for!
Political commentators should be neutral and not partisan? Are you seriously going to hold O'Brien to that when the right wing press and their mouthpieces are as rabid as they are in the UK.
The EU is a dead man walking. We got out just in time. Don't make the mistake of thinking that an independent Scotland can exist within the EU. There are about to be no independent countries within the EU.
Not interested in the Tories. Focus on what is happening now!
We see you James... 😂😂
Why we talking tory and not two tier? JoB is broken cant see that left and right are not incharge
This seems like desperation to me.

The hard facts are you can buy 1.2 Euros for £1, so our spending goes further right now, we have improved by around 4% in the past year, so let's hope that Reeves continues with the austerity programme, 'Labour is not really new, because red is the new blue' 🥶
To suggest that the current state of affairs is all down to the Tory Party, in which part it is, ignores the terrible damage that COVID-19 policies inflicted upon the world economies, policies that Starmer wanted to be even tougher.
James O'Brien cannot be objective, that is not in his armoury, he is a champagne socialist, the very kind of individual who Orwell had no time for at all.
My spending isn’t going further, because I don’t speculate on currencies. My shopping is limited in choice and 200% more expensive and my utility bills are up 400% since ‘austerity’ and Brexshit. The last 14 years have been an unmitigated social and economic disaster under a succession of majority Tory cabals. Deflect and project as much as you like, but please stick to ONR figures and in particular what Austerity and Brexshit cost, continues to cost and will cost moving forward.
@@garymelrose9727 You think that Brexit is the prime driver of this hardship that we are all suffering do you?
If I were to ask you to proportion out of 100%, what percentage is down to Brexit, what percentage is down to Covid Rules, and what percentage is down to the Tory Government, then what would it be?
Starmer has doubled down on austerity, hence why Sterling is gaining strength against the Euro, please keep up to speed, and have a proper adult discussion with me.
My position is, that Brexit is a bad thing, however, I respect the vote, one has to move on from Farage, who I find to be a very unpleasant individual.
@@garymelrose9727 To be clear, holidays in the EU, where most Brits go, are getting you more bang for your buck, it is not about speculation, you missed my point, far more Brits spend Euro's abroad, than they speculate on currency., which you know, please do not be dramatic.
They got elected
Nice try O'Brien. If you want to see where things are going wrong - try labour.
Remind us who 's been in power for the last 14 years again?
Remind us who promised to clean up politics & be better?
We're all so bored of the Tories, can we concentrate on this government and their actions please.
O'Brian is another one who forgets the pandemic as well as the Ukraine war.
The demise of the tories is nothing to do with those 2 significant events. Hey.
It all went wrong because Boris Johnson had a couple of 10-minute parties, one for a long serving civil servants retiring. One in the garden after work, which was obviously the main reason for all the country's economic woes.
Now he's got his beloved labour party back in failing at everything they do. That's before they've even produced a budget.
The Tories decided that they wanted to be like Tony Blair. That's where it all started. And Keir Starmer's coming tyranny is where it all leads to.

Yeah. It's all coming out. All the things they declared and put into the record themselves. How terrible. No laws or rules have been broken. They followed every regulation, convention and tradition they should follow. All of these happened over 5 years. Starmer was gifted less over those 5 years than Boris was in a single "gift" for decorating the Downing Street flat.
