- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2023
- Prime Minister Rishi Sunak joined Tom Swarbrick to discuss HS2, the 'old consensus' and targets to build new homes... which he says the EU is obstructing.
1:10 | What does this new consensus understand that the old consensus doesn’t?
2:04 | Is HS2 the ‘embodiment’ of the old consensus?
2:38 | The ‘facts have changed’ on HS2
5:39 | The politicians who have spent more time campaigning for change than actually delivering it, are Conservative ones.
8:12 | How long have you been working on the Network North plans?
9:33 | ‘Was that included in error…?’: Tom asks Sunak why he is promising to deliver on projects which ‘already exist’
12:46 | ‘You’re running the country and you haven’t built the homes that you said you would’
13:27 | ‘So the EU are stopping us building homes?’
15:30 | What does the PM make of the criticism that Margaret Thatcher would be ‘turning in her grave’ regarding new plan for smoking restrictions?
17:30 | The best tax cut that the PM can deliver right now is to ‘halve inflation’

Tories will Tories.
This is a big fat lie. I have worked in architecture and construction since 1994, and have done hundreds of Planning apps all over the UK.
In all my years of experience, nobody in the industry has ever mentioned the EU.
If you think the EU determines planning and build reg applications, you need some basic civics tuition.
Look at the ONS figures, average 60k more homes were built per year when Labour were in power.
Thank you for this comment.
Well said
Yes the legacy eu law he is taking about I think is removing the obligation of developers to pay for water reclamation and management in developments.
This gets better the government will pick up the bill to the tune if a few billions

Yes. It certainly seems like a whopper. That was my thought too before I read your comment.
Rishi’s right: We need change. So, the Tories must "Get out, to help out".
True, clever and witty😂
We need to Get Tories done!
Superb 😄
😂 get out to help out 😂

This guy never stops lying. And the disgusting self-aggrandisement is sickening. Still lying about the EU and refusing to be held to account over his disgusting lies.
Claims that Labour blocked his wonderful housebuilding plans in the HoL seem disingenuous when you consider that there are 268 Conservative aligned Lords v. 172 Labour. If your own members can'r be arsed to vote then that's hardly 'Labour blocking' your policies, is it?
@johnhumphreys4265 the plan was to gut regulations for sewage cleanup, shifting the cost to the state or basically do nothing and get more pollution in the rivers from run off or have to pay millions in mitigation costs
He's a blatant liar. If you believe a word this person says, you are the mark for every con man that ever existed.
I just won't listen. After the first lie about his wife's "speech", what's the point of wasting any time listening on the slim chance he may tell a truth.
Exactly. Those who support him are nothing more than cult members.
I immediately knew it was a lie just by reading the title.

Looks like Norman's putting on some ounces, (where's his chinny chin chin gorn?).

13 years of Tories in power would certainly suggest he’s correct in having that line of thinking.
that's problematic because he is part of the 13 years,... STOP THE BOATS!!!!!!HS2!!!!!Relax Rushi , get the facts right, we are surely not brain dead@@tariqjoseph3562
You would have expected the Tories to know they can't blame the EU for all their bad decisions once we left it, but no. 😑
The party that claims to teach how to fish, instead of feeding the hungry, sure do moan and blame everyone else for their incompetence.
They are the party of playing the blame game.
That was the whole reason for leaving. Taking back control. Wasn't it?
the EU, Labour, refugees, Junior doctors, pandemic, Ukraine, Angela Rainer uncrossing her legs....they will find any excuse not to accept any responsibility. Rishi is even blaming the Tories that came before him 🤣
They carry on blaming labour for "voting down thier bills" when the Tories have a majority in the commons so can pass any bill they wish

Also he's a "Northern" MP, born in Southampton, educated in a Private school in Winchester, who only stood for election in Yorkshire because its where his mansion and heated pool are. He spends so much time talking out his a**e I'm surprised he knows to sit right way up.

It happens in other places too. In Poland, if you listen to excuses given by the members of ruling party, you could form an impression that for the last eight years it was opposition who actually ruled! Despite having the president, prime minister and majority in both chambers of Parliament, our government was thwarted on every step by this inexplicably powerful and influential opposition parties.
@FrikInCasualMode i think there's a 3 year old in north africa masterminding the whole thing.
Amazing isn't it. I suppose they just don't build houses in the EU then?
How did Tom let Sunak get away with this
He's a pretty poor broadcaster.

Because he’s a Tory commentator who is just as bad as the government
What would Rishi Sunak know about building houses? He can't even fill up a car with gas correctly.

Ok, so when the Tories claimed "Brexit means Brexit", that was clearly a lie.
Brexit is just moving power from the EU Superstate to Westminster. You still have to VOTE in a positive government
@@evolassunglasses4673 Brexit (i.e. leaving the EU) is withdrawing from the treaties of the EU.

Brexit means listening to the eu does it?

0:57 Very interesting comments about how much Rishi knew about his wife’s opening speech. If a Labour PM had a wife like Akshata Murty we’d have articles screaming “Who’s really PM?!”
She had no right being allowed to make a speech at CPC 23 as she is NOT an elected politician or is INFOSYS now the UK govt.
Mr Sunak was yet again, lying.
He totally knew, and likely Dominic Cummings advised them to do it.
You can see the lies seeping out through his body language.

The people didnt vote for net zero and if theyd had a vote on it the awnser would be no to net zero.
@@ricardosmythe2548 The people did vote for net zero, it was part of the Tory manifesto.
@@ricardosmythe2548 What johnny said. You not reading the manifesto doesn't mean it wasn't in there.
@@johnnylindsay8760 it was one of many policies in there manifesto in 2019 that there voters could of been voting for, I was one of those voters and its not the reason I voted for the tories as will be the case with many others, all of the mainstream parties had similar policies with the rest wanting to reach net zero earlier than 2050, on that basis the tories had the weakest commitment to net zero and gained a majority vote share, what does that tell you? It was also there policy to move in the direction of "virtually net zero by 2050". Again the public have had no real say in the decision to move to a net zero future. Would you support a referendum on the subject seeing as your so confident?
I live in France and I see the quality of homes built for those wishing to get on the housing ladder, and they are by law built to very high standards with regard to insolation and eco requirements. Probably the Conservatives are attacking the EU because they want to build houses to high standards and the housing cartels in Britain want to build cheap houses for first time buyers to make bigger profit margins. These cartels are large donors particularly to the Conservative Party so have the influence on when and what type of houses are built and sit on land packages for years to increase the value. In France you have a short period of time after construction plans are accepted before you have to make a meaningful start on the construction, or the planning permission may in certain circumstances be removed. The only ones that are allowed to sit on parcels of building land are the local authorities who may set aside land for future housing for population growth. Normally here you can buy a piece of land and then pay to have a house built and you pay in sections during the house construction, and because of the rising costs some villages in France are offering plots of building land to young people starting out at reduced prices on the understanding you live there for at least 10 years. Here there is no shortage of housing or house building which keep prices at an acceptable level, whereas in Britain the main building program has been for high end housing with a high profit margin. Also here in France rich people will not be able to swoop into costal areas and grab houses that may only be used for 1 month a year without now paying very high taxes... Something the Conservatives would find a nightmare.
Yep , a lot of similar standards here in Belgium,.
From the moment your have your building permission you get a amount of time to execute those works(that is only for exterior work , inside the building has no limit)) Last week a guy who was restoring or remodeling an old house was getting a small fine every month the works weren't finished.
He payed them every month with no worrying about it,, that went on for a couple of years until this month he got another and this time ithe fine was over 120 000 €.
Guy was almost crying on national news on tv.
It is called second residence tax .
Same as if you had a csravan but slightly more .
It has gone from 250 euro 20byears ago to around 5/600 now plus your usual cadastre on top based on the rental value .
So no they are not stopped from buying coastal homes .
From what I have been told by a local politician the intention is to stop whole costal areas becoming Ghost towns. I walk in Carnac during the winter months and most of the houses are shut up for the winter. And as in the UK like in Cornwall the locals can no longer afford the houses because of the prices going through the roof, and at least the French are trying to address the problem whereas in the UK the attitude is 'so what'
That is absolutely correct. The builders, like Persimmon Homes make huge profits, and where do the profits go? The CEO took a bonus of £110,000,000.00 this year, which he states he worked hard for! working 48 weeks of the year, is £2,291,667.00 per week, that's £458,333.00 per day or £57291.00 per hour. No one person should be allowed to pocket such obscene amounts for sitting behind a desk and issuing orders. The builders are requested to build a certain amount of high end houses and less than half of that figure that are classed as affordable houses. Guess what? They complain that it isn't economical enough to do it. Then, the are permitted to build even less affordable houses.
Hello flying dutchman , France spends more than 50% on public housing, transportation, and anything other to do with public infrastructure, Britain’s outlay is 32 / 40% , information from Danny Dorlings latest contribution to RUclips, I’d recommend it happily ,,
Reducing inflation is not a tax cut. Inflation means prices are still rising. How is this a tax cut? Tax raises revenue for government spending. Inflation delivers zero revenue for the government. This is asinine
If this government got in again I don't know what I would do. I have never felt so unwanted in a country where I was born and paid taxes since I was 16. I would possibly think about taking my transferable skills, and move to Canada, where the PM there is LGBT friendly. We are losing our equality, our compassion, our fairness, and most of all our kindness. He is seperating a nation, with so many divides.
Sadly that is what this awful government has done to people. I have never despised a government as much as I do this current Tory government. The irony is I was rooting for Sunak the second Boris showed his true colours and needed to go. He came across as a man of integrity, but in reality he's a clueless puppet who does what the papers tell him to do. I honestly do not even think he would have supported Ukraine had Johnson not done it first and it proved to be a popular decision.
Well all we can hope for is that when the election comes they get kicked out and it is the end of the Conservative Party.
I agree and very serious about it.
Off you pop then
@@WildBill-py6vnhello Wildbill is it a big village you’re allowed to live in ?
I thought that EU law that Sunak is whining about was an environmental protection to stop builders polluting the surroundings when building houses? Given the state of our rivers since leaving the EU, Sunak is once again trying to gaslight us.
What a load of B/S. An unelectable rich man who is totally out of touch with our reality!!!!!😢
When house prices are low, housebuilders buy land but do not build houses, they wait for shortages and the price to go up..then they build. It's called Landlock - just another way to take us all for mugs
Well if it wasn’t the EU it would have been Jeremy Corbin.
...byn....!
I thought Tom was out of his depth. Guess he picked the easy option. Would love to see James O Brian there
Mehdi Hasan should be flown back to be let at him!
They would not DARE go on his show as they know he'd destroy them. Total obliteration.
They are scared to face O'Brien.
It should be policy for politicians to do interviews with journalists from variations of the press. Right wing with Left wing journalists and vice versa and each interview should be fact-checked before it is uploaded.
ide like to see nick abbot, but i guess rishis nanny has him asleep before that program comes on.
The Tory way of -dealing with- obfuscating their unfulfilled promises is to ban rear-view mirrors.
Should of had James O'brien interviewing Sunak. He really would've held him to account.
Liar
And Tom did a poor job here of holding him to account.
Face O'Brien, Rishi, dare you.
I was also disappointed with Tom’s interviewing. If I were interviewing this snake (hair) oil salesman I’d have certainly asked s9me difficult questions. Sunak wouldn’t face James O’Brien. Unfortunately.
I wish LBC would just tell Rishi he’s doing an interview with Tom Swarbrick or Nick Ferrari, surprise him with James O’Brien, turn on the mic and cameras and lock the door to the studio…. They may never get to interview Rishi again but he won’t be around for long anyway so who cares
There is no friggin way the govt. are going to deliver 1m homes. If so, they will be over priced and unaffordable, thus maintaining the status quo
Aye, and, BTW, what's the point in unaffordable housing.....?
@@suzyqualcast6269The point of unaffordable housing is to make the rich richer.That's the thing about affordable housing, unaffordable homes are affordable to someone.
Nice of him to be upfront about how he was going to be in the entire interview, in lying that he didn't know his wife and co conspirator in his many conflicts of interests was going to be the one to introduce him on stage.
How can the man who is currently the PM, who has been the chancellor and who's party have been in power for 13 years present himself as the agent of change? Beats me!
Wow, the interviewer is doing such a poor job at fact checking all of Rishi's nonsense. Seriously, what are all these people paid for!
burst out laughing at his patently fake, clearly practised response about his wife. like giving a speech at the tory conference is the same thing as getting everyone to sign his birthday card at work for a surprise party
The biggest lie he tells is that he goes around the country “talking to people”…
If the French can build high speed rail for 1 tenth the price, questions need to be asked
Nimbys....without the conservatives pandering to their voters there would have been more than enough to get to Manchester. When they say the price has doubled the response should be why
In France they didn't have to put a lot of the line underground in Tory voting areas like Buckinghamshire.
I don't even believe he didn't know that his wife was going to do that. He is fully immersed in constant tory lies now.
This must be a schrodinger's brexit,
We are in when we were in and we're out when we're out and they just want to shake it all about.
Word. Salad. Does the man never pause to listen?
He doesn't want to listen anyway. Babble on...dismiss the question. Deflect everything bad to Labour. End of.
In order to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and turn to a greener mode of transportation, authorities in France earlier this month officially banned domestic flights on short routes that can be covered by train for a period of less than two-and-half hours.May 31, 2023

Forgot to mention, the Palace of Westminster costs to fix the so called Mother of all Parliaments. Let’s have a debate on that Sunak
A small issue in the grand scheme of things right now lets be fair.
@@SimplySketchyGT Not when the billions needed and should be put to better use. The Palace of Westminster is a crumbling, leaking, rat infested, fire hazard of a place. To resurrect it is sheer folly as it will take years to be upgraded, and all staff working in same, relocated, at cost, to other buildings until works completed. With all the empty office buildings, Canary Wharf as an example, could be more cheaply adapted. But, oh, one can only imagine the hue and cry from many a Tory!
I thought that the EU must have similar problems after listening to PM Sunak. If you lookup the question "How many homes were built in the EU in 2022?" the following comes up: terms of absolute numbers of dwellings completed in 2022, France has consistently maintained its position as the European leader in dwelling completions, with 482,200 dwellings being completed last year. Germany and Poland were next with 295,300 and 238,600 units respectively.
Wow, it's almost as if that "an EU law prevents us from doing what we promised" is a complete lie!
@@ABC-rf9op Homes seem to be built under EU rules.
@@ABC-rf9op1
Sunak always talks as if Labour left Government in 2022 and not 2010
Amazing how he ignores why the costs have doubled. What may have caused that? 🤔 constant deflection and always someone else
Having to build it underground round Tory voting areas like Buckinghamshire
HS2 - the costs have more than doubled during the last 10 years. The government controls the funding, schedule and scope. If the costs going up is the reason for cancelling it, it’s the government’s fault.
They continue to blame the EU despite Brexit, yet in Europe they are building affordable homes, it's time people realised it's the tories that are the problem.
Labour is the answer yeah 🙄
Halving inflation is not a tax cut. A pint of milk goes from £1 to £1.50, and next year it goes to £1.60. That's not a saving.
It goes to £1.88 if inflation is halved.

LoL a Tory making long term choices and not looking to a short term headline
Isn't he making a short term choice? He said "that money could be invested for more immediate projects, that'll help people much sooner". (I'm not into UK politics so I don't know the details, but I just made this observation.) A new railway line is literally one of the longest term investments you can make. China spent hundreds of billions on new rail infrastructure. It was costly and lead to some short term downturns. But those railways will still be there in 30 years. (Provided they don't pull a Deutsche Bahn.) The short term construction cost will not be.
...yep...typical tory....the middle class Labourites would never stoop so low....
@@PrivateMemo He was in the Government when the initial decision was made. He didn't object. Many people were sceptical about HS2 and wanted more investment in the rail in the north instead. Now he is flapping like a dying fish to try and win an election ( he is unelected) and he is way off the mark.
Wouldn't trust him to make a cup of tea
Talks but delivers nothing

Serious lack of eye contact from PM
Yeah, I noticed that...
The UK government claims that there is a legacy EU law that is blocking the building of new houses in the UK, specifically the Habitat Regulations, which protect special areas of conservation and special protection areas for birds.
The Habitat Regulations require developers to obtain a permit from the government before they can build new homes in or near special areas of conservation or special protection areas. This is to ensure that the new homes will not have a negative impact on the wildlife in these areas.
A man without a mandate, that no one voted for is scrapping a rail project to connect the North and South, that would boost the economy because he doesn’t see the value in it. It’s likely he doesn’t see the value of improving the rail system because every journey he makes he flys by private jet or helicopter. Rishi Sunak is a joke, he’s honestly worse than Truss, she was too dim to recognise the damage her actions would cause, he knows and doesn’t just doesn’t care about the long term damage he’ll cause because in the short term he just wants to win an election.
Hopefully he won't win it.
How many l ies can the tories tell.
Always room for one more.
A competent Host would have asked The PM (exactly) *which* EU Laws were preventing the construction of the "unbuilt" houses in the UK.
4:00 " *I* am _just_ gonna to do what *I* think is right for the country" , and stuff democracy and the manifesto.
Chat-GPT sounds and reacts more humanly than Rishibot 5'5.
When our children are unable to move out at 45 because they cant find somewhere affordable to live due to the lack of housing and high immigration, at least they wont be smoking in the garden. Salute that man.
Besides his in laws got the contracts for oil and gas extraction.
"There is no safe amount of smoking anyone can do"
What is the safe amount of exhaust fumes that anyone can inhale ?
And well you know, I'm inhaling tobacco smoke due to me smoking tobacco.
But I'm also inhaling exhaust fumes due to others driving.
So, put 100% additional taxes on petrol, car use will go down, less toxic exhaust in the air and you get healthier people.
Rishi's so thin skinned it's awkward to watch... He starts bristling after about 30 seconds and never looks back from the passive aggressive giggles. It's like watching an interview with David Brent 🤣
So, on a whim, he could remove a law guaranteeing equal pay for women, but it's Labour's fault that he's not built enough homes. Interesting logic...🤦
Why is he laughing like a lunatic
Tories are incredibly competent and have succeeded immeasurably in their goal of moving our tax money to the bank accounts of their donors while hiring PR firms to tell us thats what's best for the country. That is what Conservatives exist to do. Now those same donors have their sights set on Labour.
There must be a smell of mendacity in Tom's studio today.😊
....leave James alone...!
Our Prime Minature smiles as he lies.
That is one slippery man.
Oh for gods sake Richi
Must be a lie, his lips are moving.
🤣
Builders stopped building because water companies refused to connect the drains. They had reached their water processing capacity. So he has said put waste in the rivers , something EU laws prevented.
Why not increase the water processing capacity?
Sunak couldn’t Lie straight in bed just as bad as Boris.
Forget how he sounds, he looks as if he is lying.
So he’s blaming eu for the lack of house building I suppose he thinks it better than admitting it’s due to his parties incompetence over the last 13 years - new low for rishi inaction man
Since scrapping HS2, wbat has happened with the land that had been cleared ahead of construction? Who's on the list for preferred buyers of contracts of these areas?
There'd be more chance of us believing him if he'd said it was the Martians that was stoping us build new homes
Got brexit done then eh, Rishi?
Funny in France there is no problem building new houses.
They must have left the EU while I was asleep.
So to understand: HS2 a long term project with benefits well in the future, is short term politics. But scrapping it is long term politics for the future. Same as promising a lot (unfunded/unprepared) that's also long term politics. Whut?
He knows people have had enough of their party and all the damage he's done. Now he's desperately trying act like he's different and people should trust him to make a change.
He is now a dictator
What has Rishi done to half the inflation? Can anyone think of anything? I sure can't. But I can think of one that he won't do that will lower inflation. Not putting in place the same rigorous rules on the imports from the EU, that the EU applies to imports from the UK to the EU. Some unsafe products may slip by, contraband will continue to flourish, those are costs that he willing to take. If some people get sick or hurt, he has the NHS to handle it and the regular businesses can learn to compete with the contraband products.
Didn't David Cameron say back in 2010 that austerity was the "difficult decisions the country needed" - This line by Sunak about things being short term and him being about difficult long term decisions is just more regurgitated nonsense
"I'm just going to do what ever I want to do, and hey, you can't do anything about it. Those are just the facts" - Rishi the rat
He didn't mention that his spouse will be paying tax in the UK did he?
i am a bricklayer and its been the worst year i have had in 40 years , house building has virtually stopped.
He is sort of right. We left the EU and loads of tradesmen went back to the EU because of that.
