Spoke to a friend this morning, he is in his 70's a life long Conservative supporter, there is a District Council by-election in his area this month, he will be voting Labour.
Shame it took him so long to realise the Tories hurt all of us.
What's he after? A Quintuple lock, I expect?
So the other parties are the real 'nasty' party? of course should have realised that.... no recognition of the damage of the last 12 years, no regret, no remorse and just walking off the pitch with a pension for life. Well played Sir you really took us all for mugs
Was thinking that. And for 14 minutes he was sounding so reasonable too. Can never trust a Tory.
[[ A comment from "Across the Pond" ]]: Still so much more reasonable than the U.S. Republican Party. I'm a liberal myself ("Democrat" in U.S. Parlance) and I would love to have a halfway reasonable "Conservative" Party to argue policy with. Here it's all Sound Bite and Click Bait Narcissism.
Just what I thought.@@dw-yl3ln
"Sunak has star ability" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
Is this another Sunak?
"You can change people's lives for the better", just a shame that your government changed most people's lives very much for the worse
I blame Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng alone and entirely for my mortgage rising from £119 pcm £480 pcm in 3 months of so last year and thus it remains... whiZip it up. We have nothing to learn from you. The damage they did was ruly HORRENDOUS.for millions. Jane Soole, 80 years, Dorset.
@@user-mw9bd2ey6smaybe she took a buy to let on aged 60?
@@user-mw9bd2ey6s Well expect a lot more of that mate, with so many people getting on the ladder in London in their 40s.
So sorry Jane, it’s so difficult on a fixed income when you get a hike like that.
So he's been a political researcher and then an MP. What will he do now? The real world is going to be a shock!
You havent changed anyone's lives for the better, despite having the power to do so.
Be fair, the landlord of Matt Hancock's local pub has a much better life with his PPE money.
Steve Brine is as guilty as the rest of this lot, he was complicit and knows he is going to lose his seat. No doubt he will have a nice cushty corporate job lined up.
25:25 yeah possibly with a health recruitment company as some sort of executive 🤦♂️🤬
Ever thought why you are going to get roasted? No apology? In no way will you be missed.
Yes we all make mistakes but we all pay the price so don't moan about it Brine
The Torries don't need Truss to divide them. Bunch of primary school bullies bullying each other.
Yes... the difference is that people in Primary School aren't running a country. We're the ones who really suffer from bad government.
Fascinating interview especially on the background of being an MP and his interest in cancer. One minor quibble, Cameron gutted the British Army capabilities and gambled on Brexit for the sake of party interest. No way can you describe his poor decison making as professional especially in light of is now public on Greensill.
💯 possibly “chancer” would be more appropriate
Time the tories, the WHOLE party, owned up to the catastrophic mess they've made.
This woman really does think that she is a gift to the nation.Wheras most of us think she is bonkers.
She is. Who will open pig markets now, as the Queen is dead....
The sense of entitlement and privilege just drips off the guy..just highlights what’s wrong with this government.
Lots of people miss thier kids growing up mate. You are not a victim ;-)
How would I describe this Tory MP in one word? DELUSIONAL!
And your grounds for saying so are?
@@robertcottam8824 his interview pal
Posh entitled w ⚓️
Entirely in keeping with most of his constituency.
sunack impresive ffs
He comes across well and suggests that not all Tories are absolute c**ts. However, how can you reconcile 'relentless workload, seven day job' with the fact that so many have second jobs, behave like Dorries etc?
David Cameron, professional 😂😂😂
Every time I watch one of these I hope for humility and honesty- but each time it’s weasel words and gaslighting.
'It might not survive contact with the electorate' 😂😂😂. Brilliant.
Changed people’s lives for the better??? 14 years of austerity on its own says not.
Wake up the Tories are already divided.
Not to worry after the election you get plenty of time to learn just how far away the Tories are from the electorate.
The way he blames “enemies” he’s made instead of taking accountability and showing some contrition says everything you need to know about him.
He really tuinks he is better than other people😠
I don't get how you're hearing that the guy thinks he's better than other people. I thought him surprisingly humble and sincere.
No shade intended: just find it interesting how that folk can take such different things away from the same conversation
@@user-mw9bd2ey6s You don't need a single qualification to be an MP. You just need to be a good BSer and a grifter. Keep tugging your forelock.
@@user-mw9bd2ey6s "definitely better than the average person" ? Better at what than the average person, getting overpaid maybe ?
Nice man
This interview goes WAY too easy on him.
Does he mean "won't divide us further"?
What he really means is that he doesn't want to do another 5years of this in the shadow party.
Brine almost lost his seat in 2019 when his majority was slashed from 10,000 to under 1000. If more Labour voters had voted tactically, it would have gone to the Lib Dems (who held the seat between 1997 and 2010). He knows the game is up.
Good man with honest ideas. I will not vote conservative but he could be very good
Excellent interview. We are across the channel from you. Can someone do something to help the millions of decent, hard-working British people with such heartbreaking stories of not being able to make ends meet. We see so many stories of single parents struggling to raise the kids and having so little money to live on. Surely, there is a way to get the 4 or 5 million people living in deplorable conditions back on track to a good life!
Articulate, witty, funny and seemingly caring. This is a Tory?
"Wiping (hand)rails on the Underground"? Ask him WHERE THE BILLIONS WENT 😮 (...in his opinion, so he can't say "I don't know "😊).
This doesn't matter. Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
A quick note fro the "other side of the pond":
Minister Steve Brine: I hope that you're able to maintain your work in Cancer Research Advocacy. It's obvious that this is a big passion for you!
Hmm...here folks is the reality gap between the people and our hopeless politicians, and i mean most of them of all parties.
Doesn't see his kids except for Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday Morning. MPs make me laugh. There millions of British people who don't get that. Plus the expenses and pay these people get.
I tried to come in with an open mind and hes sold me even more on everyone else
Lobbying for a private company you have interest in when you know its a conflict of interest is just not acceptable under any circumstances. It was a national emergency is not an excuse, shrugging your shoulders like it doesn't matter. I'm 100% sure this guy worked really hard for some of his constituents but the entitlement to use your access just seems to be endemic to many MP's these days and will last long after they leave office.
"An office in Smith Square". Such hardship!
Truss obviously has absolutely no shame at all. She should get lost and reflect on what she's done to the UK economy. That woman is a complete joke
Sadly a joke without a punchline.
Yeah yeah ….Jumping before pushed
That question about "don't you think case work has gone up?" well... much of that is down to the awful state of our civil systems. I'm trying to sort out a grant of probate for an estate that should have been sorted at the end of November. We're beyond two months over and no end in sight and that's standard across the board. The Tories keep cutting our civil service and that means the whole of society suffers. They're vandals.
Good for him .Truss was a nightmare as leader.
One word description for Liz Truss; vacant.
At one place I was a temp at, a colleague's husband was up for re-election as a Councillor. During the campaign, posters appeared making horrible remarks about his surname. We tried to figure which party produced them, and narrowed it down to Tory. The Councillor was Lib Dem, and won!
"Chose it to end" ha. He is going to lose so he is bravely running away to become a lobbyist. He drips out self pity. You weren't a coal miner
14yrs of Tory rule speaks for itself 😂😂
"40 Lettuce Recipes You Can Get Excited About" Mad Lizzie: " I know. I'm so exciting!😀 "
"38 Lettuce Recipes That Go Beyond Salad" Mad Lizzie: "That's me! Always speaking word salad!😜 "
"22 Fresh Ways To Enjoy Lettuce" Mad Lizzie: " C'mon, that's embarrassing..😲 "
sure some make human error and should be cut a break, but by the same hand those that make calculated plans that lose billions should not be given ex prime minister status and allowed honours lists.
Truss needs to get a real job.
Greengrocer ?
Life is so tough just F off
This man is running away.....run away...run away!
Rishi sunak, impressive???? You have got to be joking!!!
Suuuuuuure.
The Labour bus should not have been driver round Smith Square. As much as I despise the Tory agenda it is wrong to attempt to humiliate political opponents.
Sunak’s two predecessors threw away any reputation the Conservatives might have cherished for ethical, honest behaviour and economic competence. Surak may be decent and technically competent but he leads a chaotic party and has no persuasive vision for the country.
good riddance, just look at his voting record. a tory is a tory. and tories are the nasties.
Imagine writing something like that
Ok son that's enough internet time for you, time for a bath and then go to bed
I doubt this lot could navigate a bus to Labour HQ 😂
@@BEGGARWOOD1 Well neither could Diane Abbott
Smug.
Lizzy doesn’t have to divide you lot you’re all pretty much tearing yourselves apart without her intervention which might I add you all are doing a spectacular job at please keep it up makes for good entertainment watching you lot ripping yourselves/eachother apart🍿. But on a serious note time for tories to go theyve outstayed their welcome.
Like two old ladies at teatime with rich tea biscuits or is it macaroons?
He sounds decent in many ways but then finds Sunak impressive for reading his meeting preparation as most of us would in our daily jobs.. Good he stood up for principles against Bojo though
Read the book by Rory Stewart politics on the edge, he has a chapter on Lizz Truss , very interesting, he says a lot about her character, she's not normal if you know what I mean.
The Tories parked 'their bus on Labour's lawn' for 14 years and achieved absolutely nothing of any substance. Well done.
Truss is deluded, extremely arrogant and dangerous!
He said they didn't crash the economy! Jesus! YES YOU DID! And we are all paying for it now and for goodness knows how long. But you go home and enjoy taking your kids around places again. You will be able to afford it. Most of us can't and have to do more than 1 job to survive the Tories! Sunak might be well briefed, but that does not make him a half decent leader of a country as divided as the UK. We need someone who actually wants to help the ordinary person have a good life. Cradle to grave stuff. Instead we live in fear of sickness, old age and inadequate education without crippling bills.
Rishi Sunak a decent man catch yourselves on your party has done nothing to improve the lives of ordinary people.
Liz truss launches popular....
popular
liz truss
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA#
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nice guy, isn't he?
My kind of Conservative - a loss to the people of Winchester and the party.
Nice guy but!
Not a Conservative voter but lots of respect to this MP.
Truss is not you problem mate; look in the mirror.
Im not a Tory or Steve Brine supporter, but the bile and spite in many of these comments is repugnant. Then again, armchair criticism and nastiness is now an embedded feature of modern media. MPs are just regular people and we have yet to experience the next lot.
Sunak impressive ? Star ability ? God help us all. However this guy seems one of the more balanced Tories .
Sorry Truss and Kwartang crashed the economy... and they were voted in...
Total inability to either connect the dots or accept responsibility. Says he's there to make people's lives better and interviewer should have ar least asked whether he felt the drop in the country's living standards was making people's lives better...
A softy interview
Its a jobs worth who has not undertaken and life outside of politics so sadly I commend his 14 years however its been 14 years of decline and Brexit is a legacy no politicians wants to remember as it was a tissue of truth plus Johnson was cupable in negotating the worst deal on the planet....red tape against our biggest trade market...get some business people in Government not the Political analyst's
Good riddance, you know you will not be re-elected in any case. No more money making opportunities.
Interesting...
This guy comes across as caring, self-aware, lucid & principled. On the strength of this interview, I might even vote for him!
However, let's talk about what he DOESN'T say. After 13 years of ideologically driven, self-indulgent, reckless & deeply dangerous Tory misrule, on any metric you care to measure, the nation is WORSE OFF than it was in 2010!
NHS? Gutted with staff leaving in droves. The nation's overall health? Far worse. Our ability to defend ourselves in the increasingly likely event of a major European war? Laughably inadequate & our natural allies no longer trust us. The economy? Permanently & irretrievably trashed because of Brexit. Infrastructure? Every road in the country is potholed & the abandoned HS2 has cost us HUGE for absolutely zero benefit. Education? The fabric of our unmaintained schools is falling to bits & many of our world class universities now teeter on the edge of bankruptcy. Even the basic rule of law & the individual rights we've all acquired over centuries have been subverted because a large part of the Conservative party quite likes the idea of unchallengeable, authoritarian rule.
'We're not the nasty party'...what a joke!
What a nice and refreshing interview 👍🏼
Enjoyed the interview till he started talking sunak up. Totally changed my opinion of him once a tory always a tory.
It's like Rory Stewart. Soon as Sunak came in he was all over him. It's a simple reminder these guys would do 2010+ austerity all over again....
There's no point in badmouthing the boss on the way out - Rishi will get to recommend people for honours one day, and that's no doubt something of a consideration for Steve Brine and all the other MPs who've publicly declared their intention to fall on their swords.
It's very interesting how consistent the praise for Sunak is. Everyone who has been close to him always mentions how hard-working, intelligent, and decent of a person he is.
I think history will be far kinder to him than how he is treated by everyone now.
I think people are confusing hard graft with grift. Sunak is totally corrupt and has been lining up deals to benefit his wife and father-in-law's company. History will record that he is a liar and a thief - stealing tax payer's money before retreating to California.
A most articulate and interesting speaker. Some really good insights.
Stabilised the economy! I what country? We have children fainting in school for lack of a decent diet, rickets are on the up and up worst country in Europe for health care and on and on and on ....
The Tories need to do a hard split from the loons after the next GE, take the big money donors with them.
He’s a scummy liar himself so he’s the last person to be doling out moralistic advice
Haha, a Blairite One nation wet, all that’s wrong with the Tories. Good riddance.
Not worth to interview
Liz Truss has ball$. Shame she was canceled. Uk would be turning the corner by now. But instead the malaise continues.
The UK Gilt Market and the Liability-driven Investment sector disagrees. And they're not keyboard idelogue bots. They put their money where their mouth is.
