absolutely love john Mcdonnel, i was working a labour event years ago and john was there on his birthday and he was helping us put chairs out. total respect
I live in John McDonnell's constituency, and have met him on a few occasions. John really is a top guy and precisely represents my political views. In the last election, I voted for the man, not the party. This disastrous government are acting like they are performing a task on The Apprentice, but then again, could even those guys get it so wrong?
Dunno what you mean? The rest took 14 years to be useless. We'd have gone right into the black hole further if they had any longer! Not saying about it and everything. Saying everything was just fine. Fine for who exactly?
Labour doing what their wealthy donors have told them to do to protect their interests. If Starmer and his wobble eyed centre right wing Sniken hadn't gone on the rampage and forced so many members out of the party they wouldn't have needed Wealthy donors.
Kier Starmer has done absolutely NOTHING wrong, but as a labour voting pensioner I find it a bit "RICH" that he thinks he needs these gifts when he is 'earning' in excess of £100.000.per year. But on the other hand he is prepared to 'ROB' pensioners of £250, who are getting £11.000 per year pension. Unless something alters, my 50yrs of loyalty to a Labour party will be a thing of the past. It's YOUR call Mr Starmer, and by the way you held many Labour party MPs to ransom. 'IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL DEMOCRACY'.... 🤔🤐😒🙄..........
He actually earns about £170,000, but the average salary of a Company CEO, is £4,270,000 pa, and he could be earning £2 million a year as a KC. A ticket to the VIP area at Arsenal costs between £600 and £2,300 per go. The dresses worn by First Ladies at official events cost tens of thousands of pounds new, and hundreds of pounds per day to rent. Assuming we can agree that it isn’t safe for our PM to sit in the stands, and we don’t want his wife standing next to her foreign counterparts looking like a poor relation, it isn’t that unreasonable. We expect to be paid at the going rate for the job, and not to be out of pocket over expenses. I don’t see why a Prime Minister should be any different. Starmer has saved the public purse by getting someone else to pay. Look past the headlines, and you will see that in the short time Labour has been in power, it has settled the public sector pay disputes, introduced the Renters Rights Bill, set targets for house building, and is reforming the planning system. Agreements have been made with several countries to return failed asylum seekers, and the rate of processing claims has stepped up, but these facts don’t sell papers. There is much more, but you can’t turn a failing state around overnight, and I will reserve my judgement until the end of the Parliament.
The shallow support for Labour is very worrying. Angela Rayner was in the Guardian claiming Kier will earn his popularity back in five years. Do they really not know why they're in power and the Tories aren't? Do they not understand what they're there to do? Kier Starmer's popularity?! Are they really that ignorant and that arrogant at the same time?
I’m pleased to hear that thousands of pensioners have successfully applied and are getting Pension Credit which is going to wipe out the “ savings “ made from cancelling Winter fuel allowance. Haha Labour. Pension Credit will cost them much more
What happens when the people that have donated all these tickets, cloths and glasses come to Starmer and say look mate we want you to do this for us , what will he do
Nonsense. It was reported no more clothes. Patek Philippe watches and Diamond necklaces are fine, no? Starmer Quartet should be prosecuted and jailed for 25 years each. The man reeks of criminality.
Been a labour supporter all my life i want best for ordinary people i want fairness no politician lately has any morals all they seem interested in is what they and there mates can get

Starmer and Reeves are talking us into a recession with their hyped up doom and gloom.
James O Brien is STILL defending Starmer! 🤣 What a champagne socialist he really is.
Taylor Swift tickets.... Arsenal tickets.... Clothes.... More than 2 GRANDS worth of designer glasses....
The word angry doesn't come close!
Kier Starmer is not a Labour MP, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This labour government is an absolute disgrace totally out of touch with working class people
Labour haven't been for the working class for decades
Get Corbyn back for god's sake!
Absolutely and LBC backed them all the way including nasty little Frei
@@ianoliver3130 because he didn't get destroyed by Boris....
@blondpanda6211the choices were bad and worse. And the people who own the news outlets which inform the public are the ones that benefit from these policies
Not a great fan of John McDonald on some his views but respect he is in touch with real life 👍
Really as long as the dictator is in charge that's all the dictator cares about.
Starmer is appalling when people are really suffering and wondering if there is any hope.
Why are people shocked? The clue was in the title Sir. Honestly, people get the governments they deserve
They knew what they were voting for!
Because they were trying to justify any party other than the Tories, stupidly thinking governments control interest rates, food prices etc.
Like Sir Hamilton? Same title.
Starmer is a supremely untalented politician. Zero political instincts.
Yeah, except that he took Labour from election no-hopers to a massive majority.
@@weswheel4834???? No he didn’t! The Establishment did all that, they had Starmer Installed and arranged everything to ensure nothing prevented that!!
Starmer has the Popularity of a Mechanics Oily Rag!!
@@steveturner609 Ah right, "the establishment". smh.
@@steveturner609 The establishment has been attacking Starmer since he got into office. Well done for joining in though.
All Morgan McSweeney and Labour Together, not Starmer.
Well said Mr McDonnell
Declared gifts, more like bribery…..
The people who are angry are those who voted for Labour and rightly so should drown in their anger and sorrows
💯
I didn't vote labour because I knew what they were, liars and frauds
Yes, because Labour fooled NO ONE who wasn't already a fool.
We have gone from the frying pan to the fire...yet it was all on show beforehand.
The £22 billion black hole will be shown to be a lie, too. An investigation by the truly awful OBR is underway.
Far too early. 14 years of a Govt doing nothing wasn't on.
absolutely love john Mcdonnel, i was working a labour event years ago and john was there on his birthday and he was helping us put chairs out. total respect
Very down to earth person.
But they would have carried on accepting these GIFTS had they not been exposed!!! Sess pit nothing less! Vote Reform!
Reform not an option either.
Never mind the corporate lobbyists. It is the lobbying from other nations, i.e, you know who? which is the biggest threat to our democracy.
I live in John McDonnell's constituency, and have met him on a few occasions. John really is a top guy and precisely represents my political views. In the last election, I voted for the man, not the party. This disastrous government are acting like they are performing a task on The Apprentice, but then again, could even those guys get it so wrong?
Labour have always been useless. Just not this quickly.
Dunno what you mean? The rest took 14 years to be useless. We'd have gone right into the black hole further if they had any longer! Not saying about it and everything. Saying everything was just fine. Fine for who exactly?
Starvation Starmer
Lunacy Lammy
Mental Miliband
Well said!
Reform for me👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Labor problem is they were voted in to punish Tories, not because people liked them particularly well.
Labour doing what their wealthy donors have told them to do to protect their interests. If Starmer and his wobble eyed centre right wing Sniken hadn't gone on the rampage and forced so many members out of the party they wouldn't have needed Wealthy donors.
"Two cheeks of the same backside".
Giving a party with 34% vote support 64% of MPs in parliament and the government is a pure joke - that can only go wrong.
Did you say that when Johnson won the election in the same manner ?
Kier Starmer has done absolutely NOTHING wrong, but as a labour voting pensioner I find it a bit "RICH" that he thinks he needs these gifts when he is 'earning' in excess of £100.000.per year. But on the other hand he is prepared to 'ROB' pensioners of £250, who are getting £11.000 per year pension. Unless something alters, my 50yrs of loyalty to a Labour party will be a thing of the past. It's YOUR call Mr Starmer, and by the way you held many Labour party MPs to ransom. 'IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL DEMOCRACY'.... 🤔🤐😒🙄..........
Spot on.
Wake Up !! this is No Longer the labour party.👎👎
You are the problem 🤬🤬🤬
@@gazzag72 And YOU aren't the answer!. 😆😁🤣😂....
He actually earns about £170,000, but the average salary of a Company CEO, is £4,270,000 pa, and he could be earning £2 million a year as a KC. A ticket to the VIP area at Arsenal costs between £600 and £2,300 per go. The dresses worn by First Ladies at official events cost tens of thousands of pounds new, and hundreds of pounds per day to rent. Assuming we can agree that it isn’t safe for our PM to sit in the stands, and we don’t want his wife standing next to her foreign counterparts looking like a poor relation, it isn’t that unreasonable. We expect to be paid at the going rate for the job, and not to be out of pocket over expenses. I don’t see why a Prime Minister should be any different. Starmer has saved the public purse by getting someone else to pay.
Look past the headlines, and you will see that in the short time Labour has been in power, it has settled the public sector pay disputes, introduced the Renters Rights Bill, set targets for house building, and is reforming the planning system. Agreements have been made with several countries to return failed asylum seekers, and the rate of processing claims has stepped up, but these facts don’t sell papers. There is much more, but you can’t turn a failing state around overnight, and I will reserve my judgement until the end of the Parliament.
These people are in politics to make money for themself at the cost of common people. Labour, Conservative or Lib Dem
I never thought i would say this but respect to JM for being so open and honest
He is very straightforward thinking. Always has been. Pity he is not Prime Minister.
The shallow support for Labour is very worrying. Angela Rayner was in the Guardian claiming Kier will earn his popularity back in five years. Do they really not know why they're in power and the Tories aren't? Do they not understand what they're there to do? Kier Starmer's popularity?! Are they really that ignorant and that arrogant at the same time?
Do not underestimate the power of the public
visiting from Earthsea?
At last someone who talks common sense
Johns an old fashioned labour politician who remembers what Labour values used to stand for.
They had 14 years planning this disaster, so thanks Labour voters,
I am not a fan of John Mcdonald but he is hundred percent correct I admire him for his honesty
8 weeks passed already and Labour didn't fix the country yet..... i'm furious
Irony? However I am very disappointed
How can you fix 14 years of corrupt Tory rule in 8 weeks ... are you for real?
They shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath, never mind a country!
Not stopped a boat yet either - managed to give huge sums of money away though
I’m pleased to hear that thousands of pensioners have successfully applied and are getting Pension Credit which is going to wipe out the “ savings “ made from cancelling Winter fuel allowance. Haha Labour. Pension Credit will cost them much more
I don't really like John MacDonald but I believe he is a man of principle and has some charisma!!!!!
Compared to KS, who hasn't?
What's not to like then? After all the barmy candidates Tories provided and still putting forward! At least this one is sensible in his thinking.
It's only clothing that they aren't going to accept
I was never a fan of John McDonnell, but he's got way more integrity than i thought. He's surely going go lose the whip.
He already has!
Can't disagree with a word he says.
And none of these people voted for Jeremy.
How is Jeremy? I hope his pager is OK
If only Jeremy could take over Labour and lead them to resounding election success...oh wait
One person worse then Kier , is Jeremy....Labour is an embarrassment and dangerous to our country
@@shaneheff5244 😂 Never happen. Most people lean to the right nowadays for some reason. Maybe they think the money will trickle down🤣🤣.
What happens when the people that have donated all these tickets, cloths and glasses come to Starmer and say look mate we want you to do this for us , what will he do
Not just austerity, but Rachel Thieving our hard earned and saved up cash (if you are lucky enough to be able to save)
If my new mates spent money on such lavish gifts for me then I would feel obliged to give them something back.
Political influence?
McDonnell actually went to Davos and berated the billionaires to their faces whereas Farage just makes sly comments about them on Tiktok.
Nonsense. It was reported no more clothes. Patek Philippe watches and Diamond necklaces are fine, no? Starmer Quartet should be prosecuted and jailed for 25 years each. The man reeks of criminality.
At the age of 40, i am not sure I have £20k on clothes in my life!
My local Mayor recieves £20,000 of local tax payers money for his wife/partners clothes when in office.... go figure
Been a labour supporter all my life i want best for ordinary people i want fairness no politician lately has any morals all they seem interested in is what they and there mates can get
Winter fuel payment. It’s like cancelling a magazine subscription. It can only be done once. You get to a point where you have to increase income.
Never again!
Reform for me! 🇬🇧
A very honest and decent John McDonnell interview - he is spot on
At the point rather than appearing to be a Govt of Service, Starmer has turned it into a Govt of Silver Service.
The country is coming to the boil.
Starmer has totally lost the plot with this policy,no real Labour government would ever consider such a move,it’s so bad that I’ve even heard that people would even consider voting for the Reform party,how bad is that
Reform are the best choice - common sense policies.
@@Moneymaster-op8fl - They're a group of conmen. They aren't a real political party.
@@Moneymaster-op8fl reform is the absolute worst choice if you’re not a white person and I will leave the country if they get voted in.
Angry doesn't come close. How dare he start by hitting pensioners, a disgrace

That as why they were unelectable for 14 years
@@HowardNeil-k5rPeople were angry about the Tories. They didn't get in. Some people have missed that point.
