The petition is simply a way of showing dissatisfaction with the government and the direction they're taking the country. Labour MPs and local councillors should be worried.
They will be next May, at least in local areas
If ain't hurting it ain't working
40 million haven’t signed the petition.
@@paulwhateley7850 If it was to hit 9.7 million that would be all of Labour's votes in the GE. (okay sure this is the wrong way to think of it as that 9.7 million is probably about 2-3 million of actual Labour voters but I digress)
Why to worry when next generation there will be Britainistan ?
If I was to sign it, it would be because they went back on scrapping leasehold. £300 a month service charge on a property worth £30K due to less than 50 years left on the lease. For which they do nothing, or overcharge for a substandard job. £500 to service emergency lighting. We don't have emergency lighting. Leasehold is a scam and the scammers should be cut off not "compensated" for their loss of scam revenue.
Well said
Same. One of the many reasons. Ridiculous they’re total conmen
You paid a landlord all the rent for decades upfront, and you're shocked they don't care about you as a tenant. Of course they don't, they already got paid.
Yes its a scam
Not sure how many of the 2 million signatures have anything to do with the economy. People are pissed off for all kinds of reasons.
This.

Not entirely true even if people indirectly don't like something deep down there will be correlation with the economy part of the government job is to deal with the economic management which in turn affects a bunch of other areas.

Where to?

I own a dental practice in the UK and have been an NHS dentist for 19 years, we employ 17 members of staff. The labour government promised NHS dental contract reform, but there had been NOTHING so far and now my employer NI contribution has skyrocketed 🤷♂️🤦♂️. The only option for me now is to go private, which is a shame. This labour government are clowns 🤡 and I assure you they aren’t ’pro’ business 👎🏻, economic downturn is coming ☝️

@@scottmyers9850 He means it increased by 1.2%, which in itself is a fraction of the total wage cost. I actually don't support the policy, though I have to say this guy's comment makes me support it more. If a 1.2% on 15% increase in staff costs forces you to go private, you need to learn how to run a business. If this is a troll, it's working on me.

In all fairness, people desperately need to earn more money just so they can cover the increased costs of housing, food and utility bills........ we are stuck in a vicious spiral and I don't see how we come out of it unharmed
But then prices will just increase even more so the increased earnings still won’t cover those costs. Inflation etc.
It all starts with reducing the cost of energy. Everything follows from that. Next is taxes.
. The answer is stretching your money to make it go further and stepping up your game. If everyone just stepped up there game we wouldn't have a minimum wage.

liz budget was fine. the issue was the bank of England pension was over leveraged so they panicked.
The problem is there aren't enough decent paying jobs that will enable people a decent standard of living. i.e. to buy a decent property. The job market is a mess at the moment, as most roles are minimum wage shite
And the mickey mouse job titles such as Assistant Director or Senior (any role)
The housing market is also a complete shitshow too.
If homes were affordable, then it wouldn't matter if jobs only paid peanuts. It was only a couple of generations ago when the average miner could earn enough to buy a home and provide for a family of 4
Become a tradesperson, you’ll have two holidays a year and a decent house and will only need to work 4 days a week, you’ll do even better if you’re a spark or heating engineer

I blame Rishi Sunak and the Conservative party. They were so incompetent that they gave the people a reason to vote them out. I sometimes wonder if Mr Sunak did it on purpose.
@@ericl452 worse than that he was scorching the earth for Labour to make them unpopular no matter what they did; taxes, borrowing or cuts to public services, there was no easy option left. Plus the right wing media boxed Labour into a corner on 80% of taxes with demanding commitments not to raise Income Tax, VAT and Employee NI. So the fallout was inevitable.
They absolutely do it on purpose. To maintain the illusion that we actually live in a democracy they have to sporadically swap places with the opposition party, when this is Labour it means the establishment can push through further taxation and government spending.
Unfortunately, the country has run out of road.
But why not blame the people who decide who will be the next prime minister. Reform is a far better choice than labour.
@@garycroft8213there is a crap tonne of spending that could be cut back. But no the taxes must rise

They think that as long as the government creates more government jobs that the economy will just magically grow.
It's wild that parties that have been around for as long as these parties have are so economically illiterate.
I get the impression they are just trying to make the best of the total screw up they inherited
@rogerstarkey5390 I don't, I get the impression they think that they can just keep raising taxes and extracting the last scrap of prosperity from the country so they can carry on attending Davos acting like they're still the big bad British Empire with money to burn. We were already at record levels of taxation when they took office. We need to cut back on government spending and lavishing money for vanity projects and foreign aid for wars that are destroying us financially.
@@rogerstarkey5390 What's with these no profile icon accounts with random numbers at the end of the name pushing this narrative about them picking up bad leftovers? It's always someone else's fault huh
Even if Labour were competant, we are all going to pay something and be very unhappy and complaining about it. How British. And we would rather everything be shit than put our hands in our pockets and pay for private public services.
My former workplace is doing a wave of redundancies. My current workplace are debating the same. All thanks to government tax hikes intended to increase jobs?
The NI increases are plain stupid... So short sighted and will lose them money in the long term
C'mon dude, companies will make record profits then cut jobs, telling you they're doing it because of tax hikes is the easiest way in the world to point your anger away from them.
I signed the petition, won't do anything but I want them to know that I don't support them.
If you voted for anyone other than Labour back in the GE only a few months ago, they already know you or I don't support them. The petition is a total nonsense, the real thing would be recall and force new elections in individual constituencies. If there was a hope of that being possible those funding this hate fest would already be on it.
I think that, had Starmer been a human being, had Rachel from customer services been an economist and had Ed Milibrain fixed pot holes in our roads- Labour would have had a great future!

So we want private companies to pay less tax, which we presume means they employ more people, but continue to pay shit wages to most of them that the government need to top up... But have less tax income to do so and have to add even more borrowing?
I mean, loads of the companies listed have seen increases in profits, why can't they just accept slightly lower profit / reduced dividends / restraint over board pay?
Exactly, listening to CEOs cry is what the UK has been doing for years, isn’t it? It’s the same in every country. Companies employ additional people only as a last resort, and usually to meet increased demand. It’s called staff modeling, level loading, demand planning, and many other names.
Now, the tricky part is that the country needs to have production capacity and infrastructure, otherwise people are just going to buy more imported stuff, or compete for the same goods, leading to inflation, but you can’t have industry if people can’t consume, so it takes time, and it’s not easy.
That’s why it’s interesting that conservatives and older people tend to complain about entitlement and unrealistic expectations of younger people, while they also expect deep issues to resolve overnight.
While the economy may be a mess, I don't believe it's the only source of displeasure of the current government. From what I can tell on social media, the UK has gone full Stalin arresting people for things they say or have said. At this point, I would never be a tourist in the UK much less a resident.
Not true.

Not disagreeing with any of the other points in the video, but those companies would say that. Maybe they're right, maybe not, but either way the fact that they wrote a letter doesn't mean much to me. I especially don't care what Amazon thinks.
After tax and NI most jobs salaries are absolutely dog shit in this country.
Of course big business are against raising minimum wage but the millions who are on it, working full-time and earning below the threshold for a decent standard of living will definitely be for. Along with increasing capital gains tax, it’s an important step in increasing the labour to capital earnings ratio, which has swung heavily in capitals favour over the last 40yrs, leading to greater wealth inequality, which harms the prospects of growth as it turns the Uk into an inheritocracy and stunts potential entrepreneurs from birth.

Kind Of clickbait, you have a load of Reform supporters basically signing a online petition, not exactly how democracy works, people have the option to their say in 4 years or so when they can really see if the government did any good or not, a few months is just ridiculous to get a accurate picture.
Sasha used to be sound before the anti-WEF cabal got to him
Okay so about the rising wages, theyve been more or less stagnant for 20 years and yet inflation has not; yet we still get told that even trying to bring wages back up to a parity of inflation increases inflation so how do people actually become better off? Or is that it? We just get poorer and poorer with no positives in sight?
The country wanted and needed a government that would actually deal with the problems and govern. Then when they realised that this would actually mean then putting their hands in their pockets and not just profiteering they started bitching. Well, tough. The last government were only interested in profiteering and not governing. Welcome to the real world. As for the petition, not worth the ink it is written with.
Rich 😂
@@Kalarandir You're buying into the idea that the poorest should pay for a crisis caused by musgovernment, inequality and greed
@@iskrajackal9049 I think you will find that everyone is bitching because they don't want to pay.
@Kalarandir You're probably right there. It's funny how people living in abject poverty seem to object to being taxed til the pips squeak. And funny how the billionaires and global corporations get a free ride. Even funnier is the apparent willingness of some people to attack those who can least afford to pay for the austerity which continues into its 15th year.
I voted for them and regret it. I just signed that thing - might not go anywhere but it shows feedback.
People like complaining. If we changed government by petition you may as well get Simon Cowel involved and run the country like BGT.
Unfortunately, the cost of Brexit has to be paid for somehow. The £40bn a year hole from leaving the EU has to come from somewhere.
F this country couple years ago capital gains tax was 12k now its 3.. if i risk and invest my hard earned already taxed money why tf should I pay taxes on it again, or at least why the tax free allowance not going up. No wonder nobody wants to invest in this sht hole.
I would say wage growth is necessary for the grocery store industry, once those wage gains are across the board.
People will finally be able to afford the product of the gricery stores. Grocery stores have limited staff, but their customer base is all of society. If society gets a raise, profits rise, because people will buy more, now that they can.
The wage increase to society will be of greater benefit than the wage increase of their employees will be a detriment.
People should know that you need 29million people to sign that petition, at least half the population or it goes against the very thing it's against, this is how democracy works .
Labour only got 9.7 million votes
you need half the population to over rule a vote mate, same for protesting, if you don't have half the population behind it they actually reinforce the policy they are against.
that's why shills set up protests against policy, really they are for it and know it won't get the numbers, so it goes the opposite way. 😉
This is how our gov operate. corporations use this on a local level to get planning permissions passed, usually paying somone off in the council.
my reply was deleted by RUclips, but stated how you need 50% minimum at protests or petition to change anything in a democracy.

How can we repair the damage caused by this systemic issue? A significant portion of companies claiming to be hiring aren't. A.I. is wasting everyone's time. Yes, there are almost 3 million people who no longer want to work in the UK. This is partly how technology led to a generation of quiet quitting. They do only what is necessary to fulfil their role, often as a response to feeling undervalued, overworked, or unmotivated. Machines that we created, A.I can make you feel genetically inferior and can be biased against individuals from different backgrounds. As the world eventually finds us (its creators) as inferior beings working or as the case may be to enhance user effectiveness and to reduce error. We need to mitigate these risks and build a more equitable society before its too late.
The Daily Mail.... A respected newspaper.
🤣
You funny!
Why is no one talking about the Rotten Tories putting us in this mess in the first place?
Why is no one talking about how every time labour have been in power the country has been left BANKRUPT. And the tories are FORCED to make all the cuts.
because thats history. Its how you deal with it now that matters. Blaming the last lot whilst making it worse is classic UK politics. The tories (as shit awful as they are) had exactly the same thing done to them the last turn around. Stick around for a while, you'll figure it out. Stop voting for the same two parties. The Labour party dont give a shit about you any more than the tories did.

Hard disagree no the pension funds investing in the UK being a bad move.
As. apercentage of hondings UK pension funds hold stupidily low amounts of UK equity and the UK is a extreme outlier of this.
QAustralian pension funds investing in Austalian equities faaar more and other developed nations do the same with theirs.
The UK is a bad outlier example of this. Andrew craig has discussed this at lenght over many times, the UK is severly lacking investments and Pension funds should be invested in uk equities a lot more.
And of course the ftse100 is not the only index around when it comes to investing.... small/mid-size/startups based in the UK SEVERLY NEED INVESTMENT.
You cant just funnel your nations wealth over to the US.... that should be obvious to any thinking individual....
The real mess is that the public has magically forgotten the last 14yrs of catastrophe which have led to this economic situation. If Labour were to go now the public would be super vulnerable to radical parties like Reform.
lol - how is reform radical?
Reform is literally the only party out there time to wake up mate. The last 50 years of tory labour leadership has proved that. Time for real change. Reform2029!
I agree with Sasha in many videos, but not on this one. The people signing this petition are the same that were crying “will of the people” when the brexit vote happened. And the tories brought us here, 14 years cannot be fixed in 5 months.
Not true, I wanted to remain, I wanted a 2nd referendum, I voted Labour and I signed the petition because we were completely lied to. You are a fool if you support this Labour gov at this point, and I do not mean that as an insult, I am being objective.
Fix? They're not fixing anything, they're accelerating towards the country's failure and impoverishment of the majority.
This government has been in power since 97. The Tories were Blairites starting with Cameron. They had no will to implement Brexit. We were rightfully “crying” as we are now. People are sick of it. The biggest joke of all of course were those who voted labour expecting something better. Westminster or Davos? 😂
No they are continuing what the Tories are doing, they are doing the WEFs bidding.

Yeah, that's about the same amount millionaires in the country.
Whilst It's clear that any big employer is getting fully shafted by these measures, things aren't good for small businesses either...
Small companies especially need more tax breaks to be able to actually grow to the point where they can employ people. The current VAT break point of 90k turnover is bullshit - no business that size can even pay the founder a decent wage, let alone employ staff and pay all their pensions too. And suddenly they're hit with having to become a 20% tax collector (on the governments behalf) and so lose any competitive advantage they once had.
I know the UK is one of the only countries with an exemption at all for small business, but fuck me, let's at least make it worth doing so that people can start businesses here.

Firstly alot of those big businesses haven't been paying their fair share of corporation taxes for many years, with their HQ in a low tax jurisdiction or killing the high street through online. So hitting them with Employers NI is overdue.
Small busineas which make up alot of the UK are protected by the Employers Allowance for upto 4 employees.
Aside from that the Government needs to be seen to be bringing down immigration, there are net 650,000 plus people arriving annually, presumably many to do jobs, however if some existing people are displaced out of the labour market then they might take up some of the slack to lower immigration.
In a sane economy you would want growth ans immigration, but Labour need to balance housing and immigration concerns of the electorate and not just purely numbers.
It may be true that big businesses haven't been paying their fair share of tax. In which case, the government should force them to cough up instead of bringing in blanket laws that harm all businesses. That Employers Allowance does not stretch far enough to help the vast majority of small/medium businesses.
Question : what is 'fair share'? Why do you get to be the judge for what that is?
Immigrants that contribute hardly anything, great plan😂 41% of immigrants are on the dole
My hairdresser is having to let go of 2 employee's. 8 grand extra a year. Doesn't sound much but that's a business on its arse. You've never ran a small business. They've came for the little guys.
I have many discussions with people on a daily basis from all backgrounds. Their feelings are overwhelmingly that people are fed up with the current situation in the UK, without exception.
Supermarket and Tesco comparison is quality. Hit that nail in the head. Reeves is a right con woman.
But remember, that Starmer was really keen that a second referendum on Brexit was needed as the majority " wasn't big enough"
Thing is, if you actually look at the polls from August 2016-2021, remain was ahead. Many realised they'd been duped in the summer of 2016 and changed their mind. A second referendum on that deal wouldn't have gone for brexit.
So if Starmer had got his way we would have billions more in annual income for the country annually.
We're currently about 40-50B worse off each year since 2021 directly because of brexit. Taking covid out of the equation. That's significant

@@SashaYanshinwell you’re chatting about it and I’m watching a video about it so hardly seems meaningless.
I have a fully remote job in the UK, I am a dual citizen (British and South African), I am fully considering moving to South Africa and working remotely from here (I am here for 3 months just to see if I like it), while South Africa has a LOT of problems, the cost of living here is MUCH lower, I am staying in a fully furnished 2 bedroom flat, with water, electricity and internet I am paying less than £400 a month (I am also in financial center, I will admit I am getting a discount because the person that owns the property is a family member, but I can easily get something similar just not in the financial center).
And while there are many problems here, I grew up here and I saw the country crumble around me, it isn't really crumbling much anymore, I don't want to live in the UK and watch that crumble around me as well while nearly all of my salary is going to rent a place that isn't even nice.
I have more hope for the future of South Africa than the future of the UK at this point, if you told me this 10 years ago I would've thought you were crazy. But I will be real, it isn't just the UK government that is the problem, majority of the people just seem okay with having mediocracy in government. It isn't just a government problem, the people in the UK and their attitude (and I see this across Europe, it isn't just the UK) is a major part of the problem.
I assume people watching videos like this, aren't part of the problem. But you have to admit, the average Brit and European just consistently are voting for people making their life worse with little to no backlash.

The fundamental problem with the UK is that its operating at a loss. We import more than we export and have done since the 1980's. No amount of tinkering with public spending, budgets or tax rates will fix the fact that we are borrowing £15billion A MONTH, EVERY MONTH. Until we start making stuff to sell, its a hopeless downward spiral of ever increasing taxes to try to pay off the ever increasing debt we are in and ever increasing public sector bills. We need to MAKE A PROFIT. It really is that simple. What would a business do in this situation? Cut costs, increase prices and hope to create extra products to sell as well as find new markets to sell into. This Gov't is doing the total opposite and making an already terrible situation much much worse. How can they waffle on about a £22bn black hole when they are borrowing that much every two months??? Totally incompetent.
The UK economy has been wildly unbalanced and in long-term decline for many, many decades. It is still fundamentally a thin veneer of 19th-century laissez-faire capitalism painted over a fundamentally feudal structure, wearing a threadbare Nye Bevan hat to try to pretend to be a post-WWII social democracy. As the Empire disintegrated in the 50s and 60s there never was any sort of coherent national conversation on what exactly Britain's role in the world should be now. As the socio-economic wheels came off in the 70s they ran into the EEC for cover but then coasted for decades and still never had any of the conversations that needed to be had. Periods of "radical reform" like the Thatcher revolution was really just doubling down on the underlying feudalist/laissez-faire structure (cos that's exactly what neoliberalism IS), as the poor continued to get poorer and wealth continued to accumulate to landlords. And then Brexit happened... Britain needs to have a LOT of very hard conversations with itself and resolve to pursue some actual real reforms, some of which are now literally centuries overdue. But the chances of that are slim, so the slow but inexorable decline into poverty, irrelevance and political instability will continue.
Own this Labour supporters. And share and sign the petition for everyone else.
Improvements to public services are required and no doubt it requires funding. But why doesn’t anyone talk about what reforms are happening to provide value to the public? Public services need to be run like a business and be held accountable. Better still generate profits.
Because 90% of the media are right wing so you won't hear anything positive
Yeah, and screw everyone who lives somewhere that the services aren’t making a profit. Nice.
I am in South Africa and was interested in adding to the petition.. but seems you guys have got it sorted.
there are no homes, so i dont work. its that simple.
Why does owning a home impact your self respect to get a job to look after yourself and your family?
@@Bear-wq1ub cant have a family without a home with enough space for one.
@ so your homeless?
This governememt is so grim and hopeless and turns out more right wing than Tories with each day passing.
The retails industry letter to Rachel Reeves could probably garner more public support if Amazon hadn't signed it - just like Clarkson did no favours to farmers. Perception matters.
Barometer of the building anger.
this is closest thing you've posted that resembles clickbait sasha...
slow newsweek for you take it...
Love your style of drilling into the real numbers. Keep up the great content!
The situation with British missiles being used in Ukraine and Starmer's response when asked about a potential nuclear war was the icing on the cake. Keir Starmer is the biggest threat to our national security.
10:52 The people I know that voted for them went off the idea the minute they took.away the winter fuel allowance for pensioners, I cannot believe how much hate that has caused , picking on the weakest, that was a huge mistake. Love hearing about them talking about opportunities for people whilst totally unaware that government supports such things and cannot do them and their actions so far support none of it. Its mad mad mad eh.
I'm a foreigner, and I signed the petition. I've lived in the UK for almost 20 years (still do), but I am not allowed to vote in general elections, so my hope is that the British people will pick the right candidate. Unfortunately, the British people made a horrible mistake because they wanted to get back at the Tories but hurt everyone in return.
I still think the same as with Rishi Sunak before last GE. I don't really care if there's another GE right now because realistically there is no alternative. The people want more of the same but in a different shade of blue or red.

How can UK govt get money for public services if not tax increases?
Push economy running hotter and so tax revenue will get higher. So simple in theory
Growth
It's called the manipulation of simpletons who think socialism is good
@@adogmcdizzlethere will be very little growth, most probably contraction due to Brexit
Easy focus on and rentroduce manufacturing and ditch most of the carbon neutral nonsense. And lastly close our borders.
Homelessness ia not helping🐽
The petition to rerun the Brexit vote got over 6million votes. I don't remember the conservatives taking any notice of that.
6 million....after how long though?
@@Rob.N771 A week I think as well. Back then tiktok wasn't a thing, only slow facebook reposts.
Same ol' 'Woke' Narcissist traits again...Deflection and Blame-shifting.
But all Lefties have a 'Covert Narcissist' mindset, and the traits are delivered every time.
If people researched this topic, the Left's twisted mindsets will actually make more sense.
@@venomtailOG it's not been a week yet, so let's see.
@@Rob.N7712 things:
1) the referendum petition was not covered by any right wing media, no papers, barely mentioned on Facebook and that got to 6 million plus hundreds of thousands protesting in marches in London.
2) this petition has TikTok, X backing and has been on TV this morning. Plus it'll undoubtedly be in the papers tomorrow morning...
Do you see the bias yet?
I don't understand why this is a big deal. 21 Million people didn't vote Labour this time, so they would always be dissatisfied.
If the the last government got one of these they would have laughed it out of Parliament, no matter how many signatures were on it.
Logically until it reaches 22 Million signatures it means absolutely nothing.
Still impressive how this petition is only just 1/5 of the amount of people signing it that was the amount of signatures that was reached to redo the Brexit refferendum. People seem to have hated that x5 times worse than a vote on the government.
You've just got yourself a new subscriber. You're fab both in content and delivery. 👊🏽
That petition is bullshit.
Wish someone like you was working in a position of power in the uk to help get the uk back on track! Don’t seem to have a single competent person doing anything that is in a position to do so!
I don't believe corpos when they complain. Most can slash their prices by half and still have decent profit margins.
How do you slash your prices in half with a 3% net profit margin?
@SashaYanshin
Cutting CEO pay. Aren't you supposed to be smart?
@@vvitch-mist20 CEO pay is pretty small in comparison to revenue and costs... Just cutting CEO pay won't do anything 😂.
I thought of a realistic way of how you can slash your prices as 'tesco' and its by having more self check out tills which is not recommended as it will cost jobs. so pick your poison...
Or an even easier method: Lowering NI contributions instead of increasing them like the current labour government. (seems like the most obvious choice to me ngl)
Your thumbnails make me feel like ive just come in at 4:00am as opposed to 10:30pm
The Labour gov reaction to public outcry is almost soviet!
Did you not see Johnson?
200k. Died because of his incompetence, people protested and Patel passed laws to clamp down on it... then Braverman came in and echoed far right sentiments that it was all lefties and they were violently protesting 😂
Rewriting history now
