Shapps doesn't even know which fake name he's using this week. You need to get your head around this - this is a guy who peddled Ponzi schemes on the internet under false names, and he's a government minister now!
The bottomless arrogance of Shapps is nauseating. "People watching this will be familiar with the...." What we are familiar with is constant bs and sidestepping actual issues, degrading lives of the citizenry daily, by this government (whilst pumping £££ into their friends' pockets). Peeing on our heads and telling us it's raining, as per. Well done Darren Jones for holding a tight line and not actually barfing.
Yes sir, this "Bottomless Arrogance" of the Tories was seen in Germany from 1933, to 1939. And is equally nauseating. History repeats itself, in this basket-case country, which the Tories would have you believe is a 'democracy'. But is actually a manifestation of what was seen in Germany, but in the post WW 2 age. In the UK. One aspect of which is the 'Church of Scientology' idealised mentality of the Tories. Where our take on the world, and factual reality; Our psychopathic judgement dictatorship, are the only ones that count; and take precedence. This is the reason why the Tories are at present acting like weasels in a rabbit warren. Foxes in a hen house. Bulls in a china shop. Is it not the case? Helped by their right wing press propaganda machine. Which has brainwashed and conditioned people into dumbly accepting their dictated status quo. And e.g. spreads the Tory poisons of divide, conquer and rule. As with the RMT union and the rail strikes. And misinformation, and disinformation. People have continued to vote for a continuation of this tyrant dictatorship, unconditionally - hence the present state of affairs. But there are clearly compelling reasons not to, any longer...

@@uniteddreamerBrilliant. Not only a piss up but a brawl and breaking the law and yet no just deserves come their way. Now if latter was a member of the public doing that ......
They don't care. They took the money and ran years ago. Why is a privatized rail company being subsidized by tax payers because their workers are striking for better wages and conditions. It's nuts!
To be fair to Michael Green, I mean Corinne Stockheath, or is it Sebastian Fox, no wait, I remember, it's Grant Shapps, who among us hasn't run online pyramid schemes under fake names while they were supposed to be doing their job and then lied about it and, when found out, threatened people with legal action? It's a totally normal thing to do, right? :)
I think with someone like Darren Jones MP, they show how we need to push for MPs that represent us and also for more campaigning and awareness on who these MPs are in our constituencies. Darren Jones is among only a small number of MPs that attend these conference questionings that put the government and businesses to question with appropriate questioning.
He attended because he is chair of this committee and I believe only committee members get to put questions to the government in these select committee processes. If other MPs aren't attending, it's not because they're lazy it's because there are cross party representatives delegated to this office.
Because they want to privatise EVERYTHING! There's no profit in public sector services and Tories have a real hard time dealing with this. That's why Thatcher sold off half the bloody country back in her day.
Demonisation of unions is at last getting far more difficult,with inflation at a whopping 11%, offering a pay cut in real terms to public sector workers( already trailing behind private sector) is unacceptable.
Hence why I left. Started under Labour in 2009 and watched as the Tories dismantled our department (DWP) to the point where nobody was providing a decent service. I felt so sad. We were honestly doing our best on very little money and worsening conditions. It was awful to watch
Shapps be like "putin is to be blamed for knifecrimes in london, putin is to be blamed for violent crimes on women, putin is to be blamed for shortage of nhs staff, putin is to be blamed for england losing at the world cup"
If Angela Rayner and Darren Jones had a baby I think it would come out like Judge Judy. These Labour MPs are like dogs with a bone and I love it! It’s so refreshing to see corrupt or senseless politicians being scrutinised so directly. Many of the public want to know the answers to these questions, I’m so glad we get to watch it for ourselves.
"under your government the country has been in decline for a decade" "yeah but over a decade ago we had some growth off the back of a labour recession" pretty much all i heard over and over there
What an utter plumb Grant Shapps truly is. Shapps: "I don't believe your (official statistics) figures.... " Jones: "okay, show me yours ..." Shapps: "Errrmmm .... I'll get back to you."
Darren Jones is gold. Well-spoken (Tory Home Counties types should love him), centre-to-left-of-centre (as are the majority of the electorate when not riled up by Brexit-type rubbish) and obviously intelligent and (as yet) not beholden to any big corporates. Long may he reign.
An incompetent, lazy Tory minister who rocks up to a select committee hearing totally unprepared with nothing to back up his claims. We expect so little of this Tory government, and at every turn they prove that we've actually overestimated them.
Was it the immediate past labour govt that left a note upon leaving office for over a decade, saying sorry, no money left, we wasted it on union jollies and backhanders to the boys?
I’ve watched hundreds of these people brought in for questioning for various things and different matters. It’s all very well questioning theses modern day criminals, who seamlessly have a endless line of excuses . But know one is ever brought to justice, or held accountable for their inexcusable actions.
The new tactic is "I don't recognize those results/figures". Facts aren't open to interpretation they either are or they are not. This man totally banjod this clown with the truth. More of this accross the board please.
Yes , but unfortunately the Tories have only been cloning fruadsters and liers in a massive production line ..Can we have some arrests now .The EU government have shown the light .We want our money back in this country ,not in an offshore account .
@@mbrierley144brierley3 Also called being responsible and competent in one's job. Those who turn up quoting figures they "don't have here" or "don't know off the top of my head", etc. are just those who get paid a fortune, but are too lazy or arrogant to even bother to prepare, beforehand, to _actually do_ the job they are being paid that fortune to do.
Darren Jones bodied Shapps here, at least 4 times. Steadfast against the Tory bluster, he refused to buy any of it. Loved it when he told him to let him finish asking a question and reminded the SOS that talking over someone like that is rude.
The rate of change (speed of growth) is an absolutely irrelevant metric without realising that we've also fallen the furthest in Europe, and that growth is nowhere near enough to catch up. Tories.
exactly, if you have nothing and suddenly you earn a Pound, Shapps would brag "the growth is immeasurable" but if you say we lost everything and now got 1 Pound back instead... sounds quite different
Anyone who wants to see more of Darren Jones on top form should check out his complete decimation of the P&O ferries Chief Executive, it's a thing of beauty!
Shapps accuses hi m of being "selective" with a wide set data whilst all the time being hyper-selective with his own. Shapps is also being disingenuous with his use of "fastest growth" as it's only in relation to the depth of fall that this can be seen. Also, Shapps' reference to automation is concerning. The Tories idea of success is to allow employers to make heaps of cash with the bare minimum of staff,with no pay leverage, but this is a one-way ticket to hell. We need a populous with spending money, else it all grinds to a halt.
Who is in the chair, absolutely brilliant to see him in action especially against such a tory who is being evasive, Look at shapps body language arms folded across his body that speaks volumes .The man is afraid and so he should be 12 years of tory mismanagement of our country. The sooner they are gone the better, and those of us with a memory realise its not Putin its the tories ! ,

Darren Jones is a legend, says it how it is.
This should be required of viewing for all journalists because they need to learn how to question politicians and make them accountable
A bit pointless because the majority of journalists are surely employed by the right wing Tory media and press and the editors determine what is printed, not the journalists who gathered the evidence.
@@alanjones4622 but thankfully not all
Media !!! the pet poodle of the government !
Shapps the man who had fake names whilst running get rich quick schemes on the internet.
How did he legally get away with that? Wtf
This the calibre of politician you want to be in charge of running this country?
@@jamespaul6315 He joined the Tories.
@@jamespaul6315 he wrote glowing reports about his get rich schemes using fake names on his web site. When caught out by a reporter he finally said everybody does it.
Why he wasn’t arrested. Well he had become a Tory MP. Better known as the grifter party.
@@garygalt4146 cant they be arrested for this shit? Seems like they should be
These select committees are great. The Tories should be held accountable.
Aren't the committees great? Best development in TV that has happened for many years.
He cant avoid laughing while he is lying, absolute disgrace.
I love the way Darren chews them up and spits them out. He takes no rubbish. Love it!!!
Well done Mr Jones, Shapps is squirming here.
Had his arse felt.... 😂😂😂
Damn, I love watching that vile creature squirm...
It’s insane how hard they are working on suppressing wages
I think they've bankrupt the country on the sly 🤪
@@whatsinaname11 That's the plan then they'll have to sell off the NHS it's been their goal for decades
Not that hard. The best thing for business and GDP would be unfettered immigration. But the Tories don’t do that for their friends.
Apart from their own💷💷
Tories WANT a non-union England, will be of course a low-wage England! Most people will work harder for less. Employer contributions to pensions and health care will be a thing of the past. No longer even remotely threatened with Union resistance! ruclips.net/video/icFkbb_cOYA/видео.html
They simply will not face the facts that they have made an absolute arse of running the country.
It is much worse. They have sold the country out to line their own and their corrupt, greedy friends' pockets.
@Some kind of Wonderful they could run a piss up in 10 downing Street mind
@@uniteddreamerBrilliant. Not only a piss up but a brawl and breaking the law and yet no just deserves come their way. Now if latter was a member of the public doing that ......
They don't care. They took the money and ran years ago. Why is a privatized rail company being subsidized by tax payers because their workers are striking for better wages and conditions. It's nuts!
"I'm not asking you a question yet if you'll bear with me, Secretary of State"
Hell yes.
Oops we must have missed that part...so grateful to you for your assistance...
Grant Shapps (if that's really his name): "it depends what figures you cherry pick"
*proceeds to cherry pick a singular figure*
To be fair to Michael Green, I mean Corinne Stockheath, or is it Sebastian Fox, no wait, I remember, it's Grant Shapps, who among us hasn't run online pyramid schemes under fake names while they were supposed to be doing their job and then lied about it and, when found out, threatened people with legal action?
It's a totally normal thing to do, right? :)
"If that's really his name"?...seems to be much more acceptable than johnnnnnnnyyyyyy84624364858463524254758659
Excellent work Darren Jones
I think with someone like Darren Jones MP, they show how we need to push for MPs that represent us and also for more campaigning and awareness on who these MPs are in our constituencies. Darren Jones is among only a small number of MPs that attend these conference questionings that put the government and businesses to question with appropriate questioning.
He attended because he is chair of this committee and I believe only committee members get to put questions to the government in these select committee processes. If other MPs aren't attending, it's not because they're lazy it's because there are cross party representatives delegated to this office.
We need complete reform of the political system in the UK.
i love this guy. cant believe ive never seen him before these select committees he has done in the last couple months
Is there anything worse than a man who knows his brief completely,and a man who hasnt a clue what hes on about.
Still not talking about the elephant in the room “ Brexit “ until we admit the damage done, we can’t move on.
Why would we talk about something that happened 8 years ago?
A proper MP being proper MP. How lucky Bristol NW are to have a diligent honest man, taking to task Grant Shapps, or whoever he calls himself
Totally agree, I have been lucky to have him, and hope for another 5 years after tomorrow
Grant Shapps has no original thought. "I don't have the numbers in front of me."
Tories find every excuse not to pay public sector a decent wage!!
Yeah, cos they too busy seeing there mates and donors are ok
Because they want to privatise EVERYTHING! There's no profit in public sector services and Tories have a real hard time dealing with this. That's why Thatcher sold off half the bloody country back in her day.
Demonisation of unions is at last getting far more difficult,with inflation at a whopping 11%, offering a pay cut in real terms to public sector workers( already trailing behind private sector) is unacceptable.
Except when it's THEIR pay of course!
Hence why I left. Started under Labour in 2009 and watched as the Tories dismantled our department (DWP) to the point where nobody was providing a decent service. I felt so sad. We were honestly doing our best on very little money and worsening conditions. It was awful to watch
He needs to run for labour leader . Great orator and takes no BS off anyone. Well done .
Totally agree with you
Wow. That was great.
Shapps be like "putin is to be blamed for knifecrimes in london, putin is to be blamed for violent crimes on women, putin is to be blamed for shortage of nhs staff, putin is to be blamed for england losing at the world cup"
No Sadiq khan is to blame for that
@@BH-ui5eb Sure, swap one bogeyman for another.
@@BH-ui5eb no he’s not boris Johnson caused a riot and he was on holiday so he allowed it to carry on even when he came back sooo
@@BH-ui5eb your just a racist go away
Don’t forget the snow that messed traffic up yesterday, definitely Putin’s fault and we can maybe also trace it somehow to covid
Looking forward to seeing him as minister soon!
As PM?
Oh God that last parting shot was fucking brilliant
so british though, when are we going to stop being so polite and dry and actually get angry
BURN.
@@caspar_gomez you must be joking, do we need something like a PMQ's pantomime?
@@edwardbernthal160 youre right I think a punch and judy show is about as violent as its going to get
The parting shot was him admitting he didn't ask him to bring info on a subject he is now asking about. - so his parting shot was a self-own.
If Angela Rayner and Darren Jones had a baby I think it would come out like Judge Judy.
These Labour MPs are like dogs with a bone and I love it! It’s so refreshing to see corrupt or senseless politicians being scrutinised so directly.
Many of the public want to know the answers to these questions, I’m so glad we get to watch it for ourselves.
Love this guy, straight talking. Takes no bullshit, knows how to put them in their place.
Summary: Look over there not over here. War is our excuse for everything. Here are figures we've fabricated to say we're brilliant.
"under your government the country has been in decline for a decade"
"yeah but over a decade ago we had some growth off the back of a labour recession"
pretty much all i heard over and over there
We need change. Everyone's feeling the unease that a stuttering government is instilling with their seeming dismantlement of stability.
Absolutely right, the government are are trying to steer without a wheel.
Revealed for the gang of charlatans they are.
Bnńhhjhjhhjhjhhhj
We did it! ❤
“It shouldn’t be a surprise that I want to ask you about the economy.”
🔥🔥🔥
Darren Jones well done no messing about straight to the point and spot on with your questions and knowledge
What an utter plumb Grant Shapps truly is.
Shapps: "I don't believe your (official statistics) figures.... " Jones: "okay, show me yours ..." Shapps: "Errrmmm .... I'll get back to you."
Jones is a breath of fresh air.
Glad someone is holding them to account. Great questions taking no bull.
Darren Jones is gold. Well-spoken (Tory Home Counties types should love him), centre-to-left-of-centre (as are the majority of the electorate when not riled up by Brexit-type rubbish) and obviously intelligent and (as yet) not beholden to any big corporates.
Long may he reign.
Total Denial from the Minister!!!
This was a thing of beauty!!!!! My God!!!! Darren Jones has always been thorough and precise about his work. Serves him very well!!!!!
That's by far the most arrogant thing I've ever seen... that Labour mp handled himself so professionally
how these people ended up in the positions they're in is beyond me
Not alltogether stiff competition. The Mediocrity Party. Bunch of entitled, bumbling twats.
BASIC LIVING ALSO SEEMS WELLL BEYOND YOU AND YOUR MEAGRE CAPABILITIES.
Imagine how good things would be if they worked that hard to rise wages rather than suppress them 😕
An incompetent, lazy Tory minister who rocks up to a select committee hearing totally unprepared with nothing to back up his claims. We expect so little of this Tory government, and at every turn they prove that we've actually overestimated them.
Sadly looking stupid is the Government main play and they are really good at looking dumb.
Was it the immediate past labour govt that left a note upon leaving office for over a decade, saying sorry, no money left, we wasted it on union jollies and backhanders to the boys?
Worst Transport Secretary we’ve ever had
The WORST human being ever.
Wrong, check out Chris Grayling.
@@howshecuttingbogman8999 Grayling is incompetent but Shapps is laughing at our faces with contempt.
@@howshecuttingbogman8999 Shapps was worse by miles
@@isnitjustkit so you think shapps is worse than a guy who awarded a ferry contract to a company with no prior experience and........no ships!!!
“Just for future reference it shouldn’t be a surprise that I ask you about the economy” what a line
I’ve watched hundreds of these people brought in for questioning for various things and different matters.
It’s all very well questioning theses modern day criminals, who seamlessly have a endless line of excuses .
But know one is ever brought to justice, or held accountable for their inexcusable actions.
"Thugs in suits"?
He's far too clever for Schapps showing him up for what he is a clown. 🥳🥳
10:18 😂😂😂
Shapps horrified that the committee chair actually uses data in his hearings!!
And the committee chair is genuinely hilarious!!
The new tactic is "I don't recognize those results/figures". Facts aren't open to interpretation they either are or they are not. This man totally banjod this clown with the truth. More of this accross the board please.
God I love that guy! No bullshit, they should clone him and make it law that every politician should be accompanied by him at all times
Yes , but unfortunately the Tories have only been cloning fruadsters and liers in a massive production line ..Can we have some arrests now .The EU government have shown the light .We want our money back in this country ,not in an offshore account .
Yes. It's called 'being in command of the detail'.
@@mbrierley144brierley3 Also called being responsible and competent in one's job. Those who turn up quoting figures they "don't have here" or "don't know off the top of my head", etc. are just those who get paid a fortune, but are too lazy or arrogant to even bother to prepare, beforehand, to _actually do_ the job they are being paid that fortune to do.
Darren Jones is superb at holding the feet of these duplicitous charlatans to the fire...
Video won’t play
'Depends how you move the baseline'
Tory speak for moving the goalposts! 🤣
Rules to remember.
1. Never trust a Torie
2. Never forget rule number 1
Darren Jones bodied Shapps here, at least 4 times. Steadfast against the Tory bluster, he refused to buy any of it. Loved it when he told him to let him finish asking a question and reminded the SOS that talking over someone like that is rude.
Not to mention the state of the NHS , rise in deaths they are ignoring
Shapps refuting these figures....and refusing the answer the questions. The Tories need to go, NOW!!!
Just for future reference, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I want to talk to you about the economy… brilliant!
Shapps blaming everything wrong with the UKs crisis on Putin
You have to say "Putin's illegal war" or it doesn't count
Well he may have a point. I am sure the Kremlin's funding of the tories has taken a huge knock.
Its a wonder Shapps didn't blame it on Corbyn as well
The rate of change (speed of growth) is an absolutely irrelevant metric without realising that we've also fallen the furthest in Europe, and that growth is nowhere near enough to catch up. Tories.
exactly, if you have nothing and suddenly you earn a Pound, Shapps would brag "the growth is immeasurable" but if you say we lost everything and now got 1 Pound back instead... sounds quite different
Get this man on the Front Bench.
Darren Jones should be the Prime Minister.
Brutal, I love this guy! definitely need to see more of him, roasting these useless charlatan
Not brutal enough. Show Tories no mercy or grace. Heinous government
Anyone who wants to see more of Darren Jones on top form should check out his complete decimation of the P&O ferries Chief Executive, it's a thing of beauty!
Agreed! It's gorgeous x
Shapps accuses hi m of being "selective" with a wide set data whilst all the time being hyper-selective with his own. Shapps is also being disingenuous with his use of "fastest growth" as it's only in relation to the depth of fall that this can be seen.
Also, Shapps' reference to automation is concerning. The Tories idea of success is to allow employers to make heaps of cash with the bare minimum of staff,with no pay leverage, but this is a one-way ticket to hell. We need a populous with spending money, else it all grinds to a halt.
Just like Shapps who has NEVER worked in his useless life. Well done that Labour MP, he’s been well hidden.
What a fantastic example of questioning: with confidence and informed by data.
Who is in the chair, absolutely brilliant to see him in action especially against such a tory who is being evasive, Look at shapps body language arms folded across his body that speaks volumes .The man is afraid and so he should be 12 years of tory mismanagement of our country. The sooner they are gone the better, and those of us with a memory realise its not Putin its the tories ! ,
Darren Jones, Labour MP {edit: Bristol NW}. Fantastic chair.
This labour mp ,has a very bright future, impressed
Wow the pure arrogance and ridiculous answers given by yet again another Tory MP shameful denial
Full marks to this guy love the way he rinses Grunt Sh*tes.
Shapps is completely out of his depth and the guy opposite is in a class of his own completely demoralised Shapps.
Shapps or whatever his real name is will soon be back to lying.
11:31 he straight up l ied here, this means he should have his MP-ship removed, he l ied to a committee.
Gods.. If we fired every politician that lied we'd have an empty house.. Though.. That might not be the worst development..
Top man he ripped the arse out of that slime ball
What a clown Grant Schapps completely out of his depth.
Imagine if any normal person went into a review with their employer and it went like this? You’d be fired. Why isn’t this the case?
Very good question.
My working class ass would be sacked in an instant. Incredible that there is only accountability at the bottom!
Because this is what you voted for. People voted for them despite an already poor track record of running this country
Because his bosses are just as bad.
@@Jojohumf exactly this. This is the Government folks voted for. They were warned, but the thickos thought Corbyn was gonna turn us into a communist state.
Darren Jones 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep up the good work Sir
Impressive examination. Good attention to detail which shows his background in law. One to watch for the future.
