- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Keir Starmer promised to "root out 14 years of Tory rot" as he defended the decision to means test the winter fuel payment in a speech on Tuesday.
James O'Brien said: "That was a boring speech, by a boring man, dealing with the boring business of getting Britain back on its feet, and if you don't like that, you don't like Britain."
He is later joined by Natasha Clark to discuss the Labour leader's pledges further.

Tax the rich not cut pensions and services for the poor and disabled.
Have pensions been cut? Must have missed that announcement
The 'Rich' which im not pay 40% tax. You tax them more they will just do one to somewhere else. Me personally am taking a 4 year 10 month holiday 😂. Starmer isnt getting a penny off me. 😂 I worked from the gutter then 22 years military service for Britain . Started my own business ... now im outa here for a bit.
@@ottodix-gu4uo the rich own the land and mostly every thing on it, they can't take those things out of the country
How about we stop taxing and stop borrowing of the slimey bankers. Take take take. There must be a way for our country to thrive by production or something instead of taking from hard working poor and rich folk. The government are henchmen for big global corporations..
Starmer‘s honeymoon has been over, not even a month into his premiership to say it’s going to be over. It’s over it’s gone. He is a poor prime minister. I’ve said it before I said again, Starmer is not the man to run this country. We all know who he is, and he would galvanise it, and it is not anything to do with reform because they are equally as bad, so I’ll leave it to the people to work it out
No mention of a windfall tax on the Oil & Gas conglomerates whilst the elderly freeze this winter 😡😡😡
EXACTLY !!!
Perish the thought that politicians would tax their wealth mates when the pensioners and disabled are a much easier target. Welcome the new boss, same as the old boss but with a red tie.
I expected nothing less from BlairStarmer's New Tory Labour Party.
But obrien loves our fuhrer and saving Grace starmer
Super confused by your comment as the winter fuel payments are only not paid for people who can afford e.g millionaires who can afford to heat there own homes.
If the last few weeks have been labour's honeymoon i dread to think what the rest of their term will be like.I thought i would never know what it was like to live in a comunist ragime but i think i will soon find out.
We will definitely find out soon. Not just communist but also Islamist...
Obrien fully bent over on this edition of the show
If you dont like his speech you dont like britain , that sounds deluded to me
Definitely deluded. James is going to be eating his words in a year or 2..
He has indeed inherited a mess.
But he seems to have the ability to exacerbate that mess.
All of these economic ills were pretty much public knowledge and the IFS made that clear. The Labour Party didn’t need to sign up to Tory fiscal rules and it is a political choice as to whether the pain is dished out on the poor or the rich. Starmer has proven he is no different on economic policy at least to Cameron and Clegg. When will James stop uncritically defending Starmer as anything other than continuity old school Tories
The drivel om here
I think he receives orders from outside influence from America you know very powerful people they have a plan set for all if them and if u don't follow it they will destroy u because they own everything media wealth investment firms etc
You liked what you saw??? Pensioners and children easy targets to fill this black hole that they say they knew nothing about ? I am saddened by you and I am no longer a subscriber.
I like James when he doesn't talk British politics because he clearly has a side and let's his bias corrupt him.
I've never heard so much waffle in my life this channel is Labour biased

Something wrong the headline. Starmer’s honeymoon is not going to be over, it IS over.
Thanks to the reform and Tory organised riots Starmer never got a honeymoon period.
It's not boring. It's pathetic and frankly criminal. People died because of austerity and because Starmer and his cowardly party *won't* (not can't) tax the obscenely wealthy, they've decided we all must suffer for another decade. They might as well kiss that majority goodbye come the next election if they don't change tactics.

Yes he is? Out of touch with the rest of the country and a bully!
He seems as if he has no idea of what's going on.
@@picaso023 in what regard?
How about taxing wealth not income? Punitive tax on windfall profits of energy companies? Closing tax loopholes for multi millionaires and billionaires?
LOL, O'Brien again being economical with the truth..
It's only his truth , nothing else matters in James's world .
Gas and electricity are going up soon they are serving the billionaires and the lobbies,
if prices do go up, i can see nationalisation of some sort on the cards.
@@tiar8954 they are not responsible for that but could increase profit taxes on those companies 🤔
as long as people are quietly accepting it the prices will continue to rise.
If the torys hadn't sold all our national assets to the rich, then the profits would have used to keep the cost to us down.
@@EvilBearWargames nice idea, i just foresee bigger profits for those companies... starmer will not challenge private ownership on public services

It is his kind of PM. Eloquent enough to hold a boring convo, cares for the vulnerable over the countries identity and prosperity. Academic over reality that’s the obrien’s moral dress and school of thought. O’Brien is an intellectual nobody.

If that's all you heard, then you weren't listening at all
Of course no one else gets a job under him
Did you hear the bit where he said he Was optimistic that Sunak might act like a grown up as well? Suppose he was his mate as well?
When the boats stop then we can stop wasting more taxpayers money on hotels. And put more investment in to public services. Which helps out the people
James is the worst kind of client journalist, as he seems to not even be getting anything out of it
Does LBC work for Starmer? They won't have a bad word said about him 🙄
James should be sacked so so so biased
Starma is a public servant paid to look after the countries best interests & he’s failing on every count to date
"Things are going to get worse before they get better" "We have to take the tough and painful decisions" "It's worse than we thought" "The previous govt left a mess"... New govts always say this. A euphemism for more hardship for poor and ordinary people to come. And now the cronyism begins again.
Im pretty sure the champagne socialist Starmer and Reeves will not have any pain in their pockets!
Starmer is doing his best to make sure we have a Tory/Reform far right coalition government in 5years time.
We can only hope so
There will come a time when O’Brien will stop making excuses for labour- surely
It's been 8 weeks for God's sake
I doubt it mate
O’Brien word salad, again. He’s an insufferable snob 😡
Excuse? After two months in office?
That day will never come. O'brien doesn't have the integrity or humility to admit he's wrong.
JOB,, “I have been waiting for 10 years to say things will get worse” I am sure you said vote labour if you want things to get better immediately..
He stopped the far right riots. Give him credit
Which far right riots?
Hasn't said a word about the Notting Hill stabbings though? Or the 62 police assaults that occurred?
By taking control of the police and judiciary? What’s that called again?
What FAR RIGHT they weren’t far right
Aye James, bet you're real proud that your boss gave up your slot to Braverman to spout lies to the public. . Not his best decision by far.
James, it is quite important for leaders to provide vision and hope as well. They have a cricket score majority - they have massive freedom of maneuver but refuse to use it.
Same could have been said of the last Tory government! And yet they have destroyed this country and its economy. To be fair not all the fault of the last government but the previous Tory ones🤬🤬🤬 no mention of the B word either🙄 self destruction of the worst kind.
Unfortunately they tell lies to the public and nobody believes what they’re saying.
They don’t have a financial freedom to do as they need to do.
I wonder what Sir Keir Stalin has in store for us next? 🙄
I’m so disappointed with O’Brien in recent weeks.
Things well get Worse! and Worse! There is No Things will get Better! This Government doesn't have a Clue how to do that!
One thing 'the left' needs to do, is to get off the high horse, close the mouth every now and again and open the ears. I'm as 'left' as they come (within reason/reality) and the things that the victim players are gurning about is nonsense.

He told us to vote for CHANGE……. I thought that would mean an end to austerity
Fool only believe them, truth is staring at you
They've discovered a gaping canyon of debt that they didn't know existed until they had access to government finances. Its an impossible job. But looking at some of the comments above, some people think they can do a better job.
@J_bixbyi hear you but before making Brits pay for it wouldn't you lower foreign aid, limit the number of asylum claims we will accept or reduce the pay increase for jr docs and train drivers... He could have brought change but chose not to
Before Election Starmer said "Winter Fuel payment" is safe under Labour......Lie Lie Lie
I don't recall the winter fuel payment even being mentioned. He said the triple lock on the increase in pensions would be retained and income tax would not be increased
What happened to councillor Ricky Jones, has he been locked up?
The SNP highlighted the short fall in the public funding, but Labour said it was not there. Funny that
I wonder if James O'Brien will be saying the same thing in 12 months time, it will be interesting to hear what he says then.
Try 14yrs like the Tories had,then discuss.
Nothing he says is interesting.
He’ll just cry about the Tories.
Please don’t ever mention “candour” and “politicians” in the same sentence
The people who run Labour are objectively thick. They think that the solution to 14 years of austerity is more austerity. Clueless doesn’t even begin to describe it
The solution is to spend money _sensibly_. Look at the NHS. Is it underfunded? Objectively no, it is not, it is more heavily funded than ever before, even adjusting for inflation, for population growth, and for aging population.
Yet the service is awful... So what gives?
The answer is that the money is being spent _badly_ in the wrong places, on the wrong things.
Exactly the same is happening in schools, police, prisons, etc etc. It's about _how_ we spend the nation's money.
What is it about' there is no money' that you don't get? The Tories' corrupt mismanagement of the economy, on behalf of a cruel ideology and cronyism never seen before has left us skint. This has been independently varified by the IFS and OBR. They lied to us; covered up a massive hole in the budget. This government (of EIGHT weeks) has been honest. It will get worse before getting better and let's be clear who's to blame.
@@icedreamer9629 Great points. Another aspect is demand for housing, medical and schools is just not sustainable (in London at least)
@@crayontom9687 And yet they are giving ordinary working people more money in their pockets at the end of their working week ... So they ARE doing something that is not objectionable
A bit like Reeves plans to solve the housing crisis by making social housing less affordable. It's like they picked solutions out of a hat because they make absolutely no sense 😂😂😂
It's not that things are going to get worse before they get better, its who they're going to be worse for and i absolutely 100% guarantee you that with *THIS* particular labour party, it will be those with the least who will suffer the brunt of it.
Come back here in a few years and tell me i was wrong.
There are too many problems wrong with the nation simultaneously. I have confidence that within 5 years things will have started to improve. The problem is, even if they promised the Universe on a silver platter, it would take a long time to get there. It's easier to knock something over/down than it is to build.
I'd be very happy to do just that, you have clearly a very negative agenda, you are wrong.
It won't be. It'll be those in the middle who work the hardest. They'll get hammered

Watching James struggle to justify Starmer's pursuit of an ideologically driven austerity programme, when he has been so deeply critical of the tories for doing the exact same thing, is both tragic and absolutely hilarious. Particularly when there are so many more effective economic alternatives available.
O'Brien is absolutely deluded.....
"it has to get worse before it gets better" from Starmer is pretty much the same as when Cameron said "we're all in this together". It just seemed like an announcement of more Austerity to try and fix the problems caused by Austerity. We need to redistribute some of the wealth from the owning class back to the working class, everything else is just tinkering around the edges of an unequal nation.
"It will get worse slower with us than with it did with them" is maybe the slogan that should be on Starmer's lectern.
O'Brien spouting the woke lefty viewpoint and looking for corroboration from his woke lefty pals!
Call them woke but not left. He, and they are centrists.
You're deluded, James. This was a political speech, not an economic one. Could've been George Osborne speaking. And many rational ca inet ministers and Labour MPs feel the same way. Further tough choices do nothing for people who can take no more.
Follow the example of Hungary, Poland and Denmark and Sweden.
Before it's too late!
Its so gratifying to see James Obriens mask of impartiality well and truly slip......he is not an objective journalist. He is a propagandist for the Labour Party. You can guarantee he would have been signing a completely different tune if the conservatives had been implementing these policies.
Obrien mentions Brexit but doesn't mention the previous Government having to contend with Covid and the Ukraine war - but never mind !
One of the disabled people here, been working since 2008. Low paid high skilled work. Worried about continuation of being crushed on both sides, i.e. losing benefits and pay continuing to fall against the cost of living.
I do hope that losing everything I've faught for with every last bit of energy is not a resultant factor of things getting worse before "they get better".

What happened with you’ve promise to not increasing taxes starmer?
Go read trough the election manifesto and you will find that the promise was not to raise specific taxes. As it says they have not raised those specific taxes so far.
You however seem to have fallen for the sad attack line from the rightwing snowflakes who also said they would cut taxes at every election, yet the UK is at the highest tax burden in 70 years...
How does that square fit in your round hole head?
Quick to condemn the “Riots” but not the underline cause 🐓🐓🐓
Bear in mind many have pleaded innocent and have yet to come to court. His commenting could affect the process of justice and there may well still be ongoing police investigations into those who were behind the misinformation being spread on social media
O'Brien needs to sober up hes obviously seeing things very differently to the rest of us.
I will always call out dog whistles about probably doing austerity again. He is just as bad as David Cameron in 2010. Putting the burden on the poorest and most vulnerable in society. If there was clear indication of spreading the burden more evenly then that would be a start for me, but no yet again those with the least the give/lose are the ones that need to tighten their belts again. Likely so the money tree continues to grow at the same rate, if not faster, for those with influence on government...
I don't he said anything about the poorest bearing the burden, it was an address to everyone in the country

GDP has been revised upwards. Inflation is within the range of where is needs to be within a growing economy. Unemployment is at a reduced level. This is not "a mess". James, please balance your narrative. Yes, let's have difficult conversations about resource allocation and taxation. But let's not hurtle down the pathway of "investing in public sector pay" without asking ourselves where the money comes from. Less advocacy, more scrutiny.
He is bringing a lot of problems on himself. I am a left wing person ( I voted Green) but his refusal to condemn the stabbings at Notting Hill Carnival and his refusal to at least listen to people's concerns over immigration will harm him. It would never make me vote Tory but I will never vote for him because of his refusal to condemn the violence being metered out to the Palestinians. Violence and thuggery are not Left/Right issues. They are human issues.
why does he need to condemn Notting Hill stabbings? I'm sure he does if you asked him. Just curious why.

- The extra £4.7 billion he mentioned was going to be spent on capital investment projects (hospitals, rail, etc). This is almost always borrowed from "new" money via the BoE. Labour has cut these projects.
- No mention of renters.
- Says "the broadest shoulders" but only mentions nondoms and fines for water companies. No mention of wealth taxes for the ultra rich or big business.
This was 20 minutes of nothing from Keir (with the unsaid part being what you have to listen to). I'll hold out hope he's avoiding mentioning my third point before the budget for fear of spooking the markets and causing a reaction but that hope is already running on fumes. Them going straight for the pensioners because they can't cut anything else off UC/benefits claimants has given a clear indication of where they're going with this.
You sound like a right expert!! Do you really want him to stand their and tell you what taxes are going up, do you really expect that? I hope its a wealth tax, and its a massive surprise that catches them all out.. because its the only thing they can really do and must do.
@@I_am_Spartacusdon't kid yourself it's not going to be the rich that pays for this
They can't cut depression and anxiety benefits?
I am depressed now.. (and eligible)
@@Aegmog By "depression and anxiety" benefits I assume you mean ESA/PIP? PIP is a vital tool in ensuring that those who are so ill/have conditions (mental or physical) that means they can't work can survive (mobility, attending appointments, needed extras such as above-average energy reliance or equipment, etc).
If you are clinically depressed, you should be applying for those benefits if your depression is so debilitating that you're unable to reliably attain or hold down a job. That is one of the many reasons why PIP exists. Just like with physical, mental health conditions have a large variable degree of effects on individuals. Some are on the "lesser" end and able to continue on as normal (albeit with additional struggles) and some are so severe that they can't get out of bed in the morning.
I certainly wouldn't want that taken away from people nor do I think they should have taken away the winter fuel payment. There's other avenues to accrue that money - governments just aren't willing to do it.
more taxes for the "ultra rich'..there are not that many left in Britain.. they are fleeing to greener pastures... and they are taking their skills with them.. so, what are you going to do next? Why not cut taxes for them and lure investment back into the country..
