World wide the one thing that has contributed to poverty is Austerity, and tax cuts for the wealthy. It's not hard to figure out.
Yeah, the pattern is clear.
I honestly believe that any major party that promised to reverse Brexit would win the general election.
The sane and usually silent majority are sick of what has happened to this country as a result of this mindless decision.
100% it's insane. Literally not one.
General election manifestos set out what a party could achieve in four years if they get a majority. Fully reversing Brexit is almost guaranteed to take more than four years, and requires EU support and wider public buy in. I doubt any party could deliver EU membership before the next election or could honestly promise much more than the Lib Dems are promising. 2019 was different, Brexit could still have been cancelled, and if the Lib Dems had won that election outright it would have been. The Public very clearly rejected that option and the Lib Dems are trying to get back to third place in Parliament, partly by reengaging with many former heartlands, including places where the public include many current and former leavers.
Would the EU ever want the UK back
Calling 52% of the population 'mindless' probably isn't the best place to start if you want to win people over to reversing brexit 😂
@@manvbees 52% based on proven lies from the leave campaign
The Tories backed the wrong horse, bet the house on it, now the horse has died they still keep hitting it with the whip hoping for its resurrection.
More akin to donkey racing at the beach.
Really? I was looking at the state of the nation not the state of the poxy Tories!
If Boris walked into No10 tomorrow, Starmer would struggle to win
That's how weak he is viewed by the nation
Don't be silly! 😂😂😂

If I were richi, I would continue packing.
Why? Why can’t they be human and pay their share? They might even enjoy walking around a country that is flourishing.
You are right because they want to completely reduce the country's economy and homelessness will increase.
This infighting and nonsense won’t stop ✋ until they have no seats left. And Conservative views and opinions will become even less relevant than they are now.
its uh .. sweet? that you think that haven't no seats left will stop them complaining :P
It's not normal that volunteers and food banks and heat and cooling centers take the place of government in providing for the general welfare of the public it's supposed to serve and protect - the purpose of government is supposed to be that as the number one priority, not obsessing over small boats. Providing for the general welfare of the people is national security - security as in where is the next meal coming from, or how do you keep from making the choice of freezing to death or going to the doctor and filling your prescriptions? How do you send your kids to school either hungry or with their clothes or shoes too small?
I hope no skilled workers come back to fill the gaps. The Brexiteers need to witness the consequences of their stupidity.
If you are in favour of mass immigration, you are in favour of more traffic on roads , more queues in shops, more crowded beaches and beauty spots in summer, more overcrowding in high streets, more overflowing bins, more sewerage in rivers as more people use water and flush toilets, less free seats on trains, and just generally everything feeling more and more busy with each passing year that this madness carries on for. Oh and less and less countryside as.more and more building needs to be done in a deranged and futile effort to keep up. Sounds like a great future.....
Attack someone for being a human rights lawyer???
That is the person we despritly need.
Human rights are “woke” now, probably.
His reply would be simple - to uphold justice he would even have to defend nasty liars as themselves if chosen to do so.
We live in a country where the home secretary said homelessness is a lifestyle choice that 'foreigners' take and a Prime Minister who seems to have built his whole campaign on constantly repeating something that Keir Starmer confirmed wasn't true 10 minutes after he said it.
It should surprise nobody that they think getting people to hate him for being a human rights lawyer is their next big lie.
B B B b B B but they're the wrong humans!
Bro, not just your country. I’m more invested in UK politics than Canadian politics because of how absolutely trash our journalists have become. Bless you Brother, love from the colony.

To the trolls who find it too painful to hear an opposing side to their argument, I refer to Albert Einstein's quote:
"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
Thank you for trying to educate the ignorant Mr. O'Brien.
An impossible task. There is mind set that is iron clad.
The fact that he pushed the safe effective stops transmission fully tested incensed me the other stuff water of a proverbial
Well said 💪💪💪
He virtually said he wanted to put the unvaccinated in camps Never Forget Never Forgive Nuremberg 2
@@englishstark6100 I'm confused what you're referring to. Are you talking about vaccines that went through clinical trials, independently replicated across the world? The ones whose known side effects and risks were published openly, never being presented as perfectly safe and risk free?
Only a few vaccines among tens of thousands approved, can even debatably be described as 100% effective. No published research ever claimed perfect efficacy and would fully stop transmission.
The title is such an obvious truth that it always shocks me that there are so many people who don't understand this.
For the last 14 years we have seen the total decimation of pretty much all services. Mental health services, care services, social services, police forces - everything. These were the people that were in between these situations and the GP or the school. The reason people are turning to those places is just simply that there aren't enough people left in place to intervene sooner. Imagine going to a GP for things like this? That's desperation through having nowhere left to go.
The construction guy on here has nailed it. He's said in the same interview how much better he has done financially but he is not willing to pass that on. This is of course what happens. And he's just a small trader.. same thing is happening with gigantic companies that are posting profits of billions and yet their staff are struggling and going to food banks.. This is what happens when you vote for the Tories. meltdown is coming. Pray for change..
I am so glad to have found James O'Brien. It finally makes me realise I am not mad and that there are other people who think like me and think that, for example, Brexit was a ludicrous act of national self harm.
Imagine a country were the vast majority saw things as clearly as we do
Absolutely he is one of the only true journalists that brought up the woman jailed for not paying a covid fine Top Man!
Is that why the majority voted leave then?
You know he's doing something right when the usual suspects turn up day after day to complain about how much they don't enjoy listening. If he were genuinely just boring they'd find something exciting to do instead. Or perhaps it's really themselves they don't like.
B@CapoKabar ,the majority were lied to by the worst ever government ever knuckle head 🤷♂️🤦
Surely his best move would be to join the Labour Party.
Too many people believed that the result would be a total wipe out. Too many people believed that "everyone" else would vote. Too many people stayed at home because their votes weren't 🗳 needed. And that my friends, was how Labour lost "For Ever" its one chance to destroy the Tories For Ever.
Old Dame Kiers is bricking it there will be Zero Seats and no opposition I’d actually vote Labour but Lib Dems got my constituency Zero Seats then it’s a bun fight between the Blairites and Corbynistas sit back and enjoy the show.
Sunak took down the Royal bank of Scotland . Sir Fred had to ask the tax payer for 700 million . Get him in court and take sunaks 600 million .
If you look at all the studies undertaken and look at the statistics, there are many out there, Poverty in the UK now stands at 18% of the population. It is 2024 how on earth have we got to this.
With Brexit? And austerity? And Tories? Also, colonial money wasn't going to carry you forever. It's also 2024 in all the "third world" countries that subsidised your wealth. I guess you're getting a taste of what it feels like to rapidly decline under cruel British rule.
I'm sorry for being unkind. I know your crimes aren't the fault of schoolchildren that go hungry. But Tanzania also has schoolchildren. They deserve a mention at least.
He went to Private boarding School that's why he missed out on TV.
Looking forward to James having Andrew Bridgen on show Top Man.
Send everyone home ......back to their constituencies...and see how their constitunaces react on election night
It's not "that bad", it's much worse - people have been shamed into thinking that they failed, and they hide their shame as long as they can. this was all engineered on purpose to make people desperate to survive.
Any party that promised another vote on Brexit to try and end the finger pointing, and both claiming what the country wants I would vote for them 2:38
The fact that we live in a country where the famous 'It's The Sun wot won it' headline is no longer possible, makes me feel much better about the decline of traditional newspapers..
The Genius Paddock. Brilliant - put me in there with that texter! 🤣
Even if the Dday was a Brexit thing for the Brit PM, he should should have given respect to the the occasion.
Who wants a labour party, No thanks.
Labour or the Tories. That's the choice we have.

James breakdown and insight into the Covid Enquiry Quality.
As the construction guy says the pool of talent and skill in trade is small after brexit but is he willing to pay for it?.. He has decided he deserves x amount. Any increase will have to be paid for by the clients.. This is really true.. without competition it is true..being outside the EU? there is no competition.
I think Sunak should be deported to Rwanda.
Exactly right
The host accuses people of playing "personality politics" with Starmer then he goes on to call opposing politicians the R word. I have tried my hardest to like James but he's simply unlikable and very hypocritical to boot. Cough, private schooling, cough.
One could argue that he can’t be “blamed” for what school he was sent to, but then he goes and perpetuates the class system by sending his own children to private schools.
The thing about Labour getting a very large majority is that they getting at least 450 seats means getting the vetted and carefully approved 400 or so Starmerites elected. But it also means that fifty Labour MPs get elected who weren't vetted to the standard that would apply for people they hoped would become MPs. Plus the bigger the government majority the more frustrated backbenchers who can't get a ministerial job. So Labour with 450 plus MPs means more and more Labour MPs elected who are likely to cause Starmer trouble.
Starnerites = Blairites Then there’s The Corbynistas do deal with going to a bun fight.
Target Starmer with personality assaults??? Surely that would require him to actually have a personality.
Unlike you, who has such a massive personality that you have to wear shades!
Petition for timestamps continues
Speaking as a foreigner, I think it is also understandable that for many people who have lived in the UK with a certain racial majority and population the influx of foreigner is difficult to accept and understand. It is all about doing all of this in a way that helps the native population not feel intimidated within reason. That part of the reeducation needs to happen as well otherwise you will always have problems.
You can just say racism, you know.
@@weareallbornmad410 I think it is too simple to say it is just racism and doesn't solve the problem. If you look at countries such as Singapore for example, you find the same resentment towards Indians from India and Chinese from China from native Singaporean Indians and Chinese. So is that racism or discomfort with the status quo changing?

What I would like to know is where the Daily Telegraph got their journalists from, was it a lucky-dip barrel as that is about the standard of the journalism at present.
What an end 🔔
Alan was and is a great fella!
I have benefited from the lack of EU workers here (who were highly skilled for the record) because of the shortage of Labour.. I see it as a window which I am enjoying, but in no way would I vote for people that, who would encourage this kind of thing. It's not healthy, it's obviously very self-destructive.. rejoin the EU as soon as possible and stop the self-harm.. It was madness.. and every year that passes the harm goes deeper.. It's not a great way to live your life unless freedom is everything for you. I will be teaching my kids to get the kind of qualifications that mean they can live and work anywhere in Europe regardless of England's ridiculous nightmare. So yes, the skilled people here will leave to live and work in Europe unless you make things better for them.. quite right so.. You can't in prison us here. Brexit or no Brexit. It's just self-harm all the way to The bitter end. When we finally rejoin..
"the skilled people here will leave to live and work in Europe" And give up your newfound higher wages, and people argue immigration doesn't decrease income.
@@ukqwerty999 Higher wages don't mean much when cost of living is twice as high. And that is without considering how much less you have to pay for university in virtually any other country on the continent. Yes, young people will leave. Most of them won't even wait to experience "higher wages", they'll go and seek out greener pastures from the get go.
Since he knows he’s going to loose whatever he does, he should just do anything nice that he feels like doing which he would not have done before. It might actually get the Tories some votes.
Maybe they're not interested because it's all work and no money.. if you pay people enough to keep them motivated and treat them well. Maybe they would be interested.. It's hard work as you say. My experience of working for other companies is they're not willing to pay so you end up going and setting up your own business and then moving into direct competition with the company that was trying to get you to work for peanuts whilst you break your back..
In previous centuries, the poor were always avoided and held in contempt. Uk society since WW2 has performed a circular journey 😢
James to get growth we should remove taxation from those earning +/-25k which will give more income to carers, army,police, nurses then you will have no shortages of staff, and by default delivers leveling up! And boosts the economy 😅
What I'm hearing from this debate with trades people who run companies.. is many people that run businesses aren't willing to take any hit whatsoever on training people or paying people more, probably voted for brexit as they saw it as a cash cow.. and now they complaining they can't find any one to do the work that they need done in order to cream off their profit from their labour.. solution get back in the EU and stop complaining
There's no chance of her wanting to be a vet or a GP would have been a much better way to put it . for goodness sake
Here's a smear.. How did Snake make his millions? Answer: as hedge fund manager, betting against our British Pound😢 A true patriot!
The result of brexit is we train people here and then they Go and work on the European mainland.. until England rejoins. It's basic economics.
I don't know any bricklayers that earn less than £400 a day. If you don't believe me, get a quote for your little golden wall
The smartest kids in our society do not want to be GPS or vets or lawyers. Do I really need to tell you that?.. those days are gone. There is much much higher goals, especially for kids that find school suffocating..
IMPORTANT:
A better Britain starts with ending BREXIT & addressing, for these elections:- the cost of holding on to a dead Monarchy .. Why?
-Abolishing the monarchy would not only be the 1st step for the UK political systems to be better aligned with the rest of the world with less RF background meddling with the toxic media affairs for their own benefits, etc., but
-the millions of pounds given to the monarchy (for nothing substantial in return) could be infact directed to urgent economic areas of need that will better benefit the country & the UK people directly, i.e., housing, poverty eradication, etc.
13:05 reminds me of the New Zealand Labour cabinet of the late 1980s with Rodger Douglas, Richard Prebble and the rest only even further to the right
I don't think the tories can do anything to save themselves. We are Callaghans famous '30 Yr seachange'
Not a mention of their bone headed Rwanda policy from the Cons😅 of late.
James O'brien Articulate well informed insightful and also understands your everyday average person in the Street who comes from a once proud working class Nation Crushed by the constant Legislation changes in Government that make our World barely possible to survive and live while the Government MP's get Richer and we get poorer...
Understands your everyday avarage person in the street ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sadly the Tory can't play the complete race card. It would have been perfect for them if Rishi was leading Labour.
Great show. One small question. Who cooks dry pasta in the oven? Surely you mean boil??
Please update your photo James
Really frustrating to listen to you James, when you vilified JC who persistently raises the poverty question. You are part of a media who do not ask the right questions!! These are the questions that matter!!! The gap between the rich and poor has multiplied exponentionally. On your watch. Wake up and focus on what matters!
James's did they send you to the Store and ask for the Long Weight or was it for a couple of Cans of Tartan Paint on your first couple of weeks on the Job
😅😅😅😅
Idk what did man has in the morning but id love some. I dont know how he keeps this standard up. The bar he set is so high most ppl dont even bother anymore and choose to walk under it
One thing I learned from politics is that leaders and prime minister get too much lee way people will forgive they major sins just because they leaders that’s sad
Those jokes r funny
How / Where do I find James O’Brien LBC LIVE ? Does anyone know
I'm all for vocational schooling and for it to start earlier for those that show the aptitude for it. As entertaining as it is to hear James say 'He's coming to fix the toilet, he doesn't need to know about MacBeth' of course the basis of academic subjects like literature are to encourage curiosity and critical thought, both of which are important in life as a whole and are useful across the board. When I was at school, which was only shortly after James was, those lessons were less about genuine critical thinking and more about thinking the same way the teacher did, so I do understand that so many can't see the benefit.
Of course literature isn't the only way to learn such skills, which is why the education system needs to be more flexible. Our current focus on academics is hurting our children, our economy and our country.
I'm in the building trade and it is worth mentioning that you tend to be self-employed which means when you have a bad back you are not getting paid. It's the price of freedom.. but yes no one's got your back literally
Apart from the NHS..
Get ready for an extraordinary event, my dude. ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧❤️
Starmer can sink Sunak tell the bulk of the public that are not ignorant morons about Sunak at Goldman Sachs feeding toxic mortgage debt through his work in America what a patriot Sunak is .!!!
Three ways the Tories could go that would undermine Starmer. Firstly go for the Muslim vote, apologise for supporting Israel's disproportionate response in Gaza, and promise to support a permanent ceasefire and a two state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Secondly ditch the war on drugs. Taxing drugs and treating addiction as a medical issue would mean more government revenue and less crime as much of our crime is people raising money to fund an addiction. Thirdly acknowledge that Brexit has made us all poorer, blame it on Farage and promise a more pro business Tory government that would get us back into Europe and defend the right of Brits to retire to the costas.
So basically pivot back to the centre of political scale instead of chasing farage, leave him out in the cold on his little branch.
@@goblinwisdom Starmer is sitting pretty firmly on the centre ground now. The Tories ca't turn things round in two weeks by shifting from agreeing with Farage to agreeing with Starmer. Better to disagree with both, tar all Reform candidates with the links at least some of them have to the far right, and point out that Starmer is a centralist not just a centrist.
Richi could by a SCOTUS Justice; like other billionaires

Free the Orange Mandela
The tories can hit Labour, to suppress voters, by pointing out all of the Labour proposals are half or quarter measures, and those measures always get further watered down when they actually become policy, so labour is really mouthing a lot of empty promises. Then cut all the dead weight on the tory side to make an example of to prove you are willing to do more than half measures.
More progressive. Churches are working with schools to do the same. I am a families worker in one such. I also have a 30 year career in health and social care in mental health it's at critical level. The child cap benefits stopped for the most inhumane reasons. In and out coats are more usual than people think. We are discussing getting 4 seasons sleeping bags for fa.ilies in need in the area. Due to fuel poverty in a rural area off the mains gas line
For me, James is getting himself in the same place s reece mog. He just can't see it. He is limited by the way he got into his job and the privilege that he has enjoyed. He can't see that. It is also a prison and limiting his ability to communicate to us effectively.. My children will see a lot further than he does.. that makes him less useful than he should be.. Very disappointed..
I think the boomer generation are aging out of the labor pool also, and hard trades have a shorter shelf life than most others that aren't hard manual labor - factory labor is very hard too .
. I am sure you would be upset if you were waiting so long for a house. Your outgoings were more than your wages. That your kids cannot afford a house. You character assassinate Nigel. It’s hypocracy.
‘We love our Nigel, oh yes we do’!Despite the fact that he has the brains of a rocking horse? A rocking horse has some use, even for a short time!
A constant increase in the size of the population means that with each passing year when your family goes to the beach in the summer, the beach is just that little bit more crowded and its just that little more difficult to find a parking space.
It means that each year that passes there's just that little bit more traffic on the roads, and the queues in the shops are just that little bit longer. Its also just that little bit harder to get a seat on a train on the way home from a long day at work.
Quality of life goes down gradually for everyone already here. Besides do we really want less countryside and wild places as more and more houses, hospitals, roads etc need to be built to keep up, if keeping up is even realistic with current numbers coming in that is.
This really needs to be brought under control before overpopulation gets any worse, if you havn't given this much thought before please think about it properly. The UK already has the highest population it has ever had in its entire history, if you have kids that will grow up here you should be concerned about this.
Sick of it
He's done a Teresa may
James, there are greater destinations for people in this life than being a GP or a vet or a lawyer. You need to get your head out of that. Those professions are in real trouble now.. It's time to change the conversation. I can't believe how embedded in that He still is.. that's the old world. It has no relevance now.. those jobs have social status being a vet. That must be amazing. It really isn't.. there are jobs out there that he can't even think of that don't involve going to private school or having an education that you can get involved with right now that are way more exciting and pay better. Don't get lost in this horrible rabbit hole from the olden World.
.
why does james think sunak does not believe the braverman stuff? he's always been like that, just in a posh suit.
If you grew up in a family of trades, you can be earning 1,000 pounds a week when you're 16 years old. 90% of being in trades is learning how to deal with the public and all of that kind of thing. You can't teach that you have to be around it.. did you get it? The bullets from Oyster with no boss. If the weather is nice, go on holiday with your family. Do whatever you want free.. there's no price to that
James answering his own question many times over. The reason young people don’t want back breaking work is because it’s back breaking and you May break he odd nail! 😂
