I hate when reporters ask stupid questions like ‘ are you boring’ really? This isn’t a joke.
Fr. The meaning is that he is just too centrist and generic politician, not that he isn't super-charismatic or not entertaining enough
I think people have gotten so used to the crackerjack Tory party they've forgotten how politicians behave normally 🙄
Yes the stupid in the uk have turned political debate into live spitting image! Idiots...... who cares if he is boring mastermind or can tap dance! That's what America do, we need to follow France and how they deal with things in a measure intelligent lucid manner
she's a clown
Boris was a great laugh. Knew how to party. Not really whats needed when you are trying to write new laws.
I would rather be boring than dangerous to my country’s economy like Truss is!
The inverse of the reversal... Tories spending without tomorrow. The " Left" simply " conservative "!
Ordo ab Chao at its best!
...E la nave va!

@@vincentmckenna1755 well no, not this time. The government screwed the pooch, badly. The BoE and IMF have been forced into action to protect our economy and investors (mostly pension funds) from their incompetence.
Zero comparison at all.

His the most boring man in the country and effeminate Paid the pokice off as well and let saville off The mans scum Spoke utter rubbish here
When I hire an electrician, I don't give a damn if he's exciting I just want him to do a good job.
Well said.
Damn right.
Especially if the electrician had hair like Boris Johnson you'd be worried .
hear hear. I want a leader not a clown.
I'd settle for an actual electrician rather than this circus Tory government sending in clown after clown to 10 Downing Street.
Boring? He’s applying to be the prime minister not a clown 😂
We've already had a clown for a PM, no more of that.
After the past 6 years of passing the parcel I'd love a boring, stable leader
Boring is good. EXCITING MEANS TROUBLE.
Boring in that he has no ideas. Would be very dangerous to let a neo-liberal like sir Kia in without him making any promises.
@@agt155 someone clearly hasn’t been watching the news. He has loads of new ideas. Just takes a quick google search 👀
its like shes actually just talking past him everytime she speaks
Very impressed by Starmer, batted away the stupid and strange questions with ease
He seems to have got his eye in now. Hopefully he'll be sending the ball to the boundary a bit more than he has in the past. 😀
He is a joke and a child compared to corbyn
She’s probably a Tory
so tired of women reporters now
She doesn't believe or fully understand in the questions herself, just doing her job playing devil's advocate.
This is absurd, how can an interviewer be this out of touch with reality and so oblivious to the gravity of this situation? If she is so worried about things being “boring” then why doesn’t she instead quit her job, go bungee jumping, and leave interviewing to actual professionals.
Cathy is one of the over 150K a year earners and doesn't want Lizzies policies overturned.
Starmer has been playing a blinder recently
You mean he got off prosecution for breaking Covid laws!
He has, I'm impressed for once
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 His gay
@@millwallholdings you is clearly 🤭
No he is a man with no vision he was just waiting for the Tories to fail. This man is power hungry.
How can Cathy ask such an offensive question, for a 2nd time? What a cheap nasty attack to call such an honourable man boring. She really should apologise and resign.
It wasnt cheap and nasty with corbyn
She shld have resigned (if she had any semblence of shame) after Jordan Petersons takedown of her. She is the embodiment of why diversity hires suck
She’s always been quite abusive in interviews, especially towards Labour MP’s it seems to me.
@@nigelhaywood9753 should watch the Jordan peterson interview
Sir Beer is very honourable?? He did want Komrade Corbyn in Downing Street, didn't he? He did want a second EU referendum, didn't he? Maybe you all have forgotten that. His beer party and pre-arranged curries for 40 people was off the cuff I suppose. He pressured the police not to issue him with a penalty otherwise they would have been seen to be responsible for his downfall. This £170b is profits from all over the world with a small percentage from the UK. Another windfall tax from them would go nowhere near to resolve the problem. Be honest with the people Sir Beer. We all know from history that every time labour are in office they wreck the economy leaving it for the tories to sort out. Do a little fact-checking if you don't believe me
We could do with a bit of boring right now to be honest.
I agree.
We had too fun. It's time for antidote.
"The markets don't distinguish between borrowing to invest and borrowing to spend". This journalist needs to do her homework properly. 🙄
She's clearly biased and really supports the tories
Actually they do.
Ask serious questions instead of “but would you call this Black Wednesday?” “No but you didn’t answer by clickbait question - is this Black Wednesday?” “Damn I’m not gonna be able to put ‘Starmer calls today Black Wednesday for UK in bombshell interview’ as my YT title!”
This is how a prime minister should act not attacking others telling you how they are going to improve your life your country enough of the facist they are destroying britian time for kier stammer 😎👍

you do know hes a millionaire and a sir right

I wish the media would scrutinise the Tories in the same way. But no chance.
Are you joking?
Are you kidding?
I think she did a good job, he had good answers for every question. There were no gotchas or “what about” questions.
Indeed ,certainly on the BBC I think the political reporters are so worried about claims of left wing bias that they give Tories a much easier time .
They won't because the media are owned by greedy billionaire's that don't want to pay tax while the working person cops the bill 😎👍
Cathy continues with her track record of asking stupid questions
well done cathy LETS GET STARMER OUT
I want this man to have a go.
You mean to go. Away.
There were some really cheap shots by channel 4 news here, which was disappointing to see. I think Kier handled himself well and kept the interview on the right track.
Oh no Cathy. How is she still doing this?
He's not wrong.
Hello bot 👋🏼
@@sgu02nsc66 hello tory bot
@@cthree7792 nope
My faith in Keir Starmer has steadily risen over the years and I'm hoping that he will be the next Prime Minister. I'm 69 and I've seen our country go through many appallingly bad times and for many years I quit voting because it became an apparently pointless exercise as my faith in government policies sank into oblivion. Promises made, promises broken, bad decisions made, bad times for those who suffered by them. It is about the faith of the people who put their trust in a box and then went home again to wait for the result, and kept on waiting and waiting and waiting. So tired of waiting, Keith. Can you do it? Can you turn things around? I so hope you can.

I hope he holds on to proportional representation
@@MrStarsuicide did you even go to school?
I don't know much about Clement Atlee as a person, but he certainly rebuilt Britain after the war. I've never heard anyone comment on whether he was regarded as boring or not. I just thank God we had a Labour PM who had the guts to battle for a national health system when the Tories opposed it every step of the way.
That's what people care about - not whether their PM knows good jokes or can quote silly things in Latin. My kids deserve better than to be told we had an entertainer for a Prime Minister. They want a decent future, and will only care that we did what we could to make that happen.
Boris has a very big brain and his political instincts are spot on. The fact he connected with people as a character is not a bad thing
@@mogznwaz He lied, cheated, broke the law, lied to the Queen, suspended Parliament to prevent discussion of the biggest change in our history, was complicit in the intent to beat up a journalist (see this on RUclips), and gave us the mess we see now.
There are 187,000 excess deaths due to Covid, one of the worst death rates in the world - many caused by the government not caring about human life ('Let the bodies pile high.')
So, yes, by acting like a clown, he made people feel like he was anti-establishment. This Eton millionaire was about as pro-establishment as could be.
We have exceptionally low productivity, foreign rail companies owning our railways and using the profits to subsidise their own customers, vast windfarms owned by the Swedes, we have homelessness at an appalling rate and getting worse, the reappearance of Victorian diseases and TB returning, food banks unable to keep up with demand. Not all of this was purely caused by the criminal, but he voted for the policies that did this or actually instigated it.
Economic growth in the last decade was the worst in a hundred years, and the second worst in two hundred years.
People got fooled into this imbecile thinking that he was on their side - but his corrupt and callous actions showed them they'd got conned.
Hitler engaged with people - but that doesn't make him a good leader!
But to his credit, Johnson seems to be only the second-worst PM in our history. Truss has raised the bar.
In fact, Attlee was considered very boring indeed. Which just goes to show what a silly and frankly shameful question it is.
Starmer has started to win me over and that's something I thought I'd never say. I'm still not sure I'll be able to vote for the labour party, but Starmer seems like he has his head screwed on and I'm not sure how anyone can support the conservatives right now.
Not hard to believe considering how bad the tories are and everyone hating on corbyn when he was 100% right on policy.
Why are people so quick to believe loud screeching MSM headlines? It’s only been a few days ffs. The dollar is v strong at the moment but the pound has already rallied - the Euro went below parity but no one is talking about that of course

@@barrystubbs983 that is incorrect
bot!!
I have historically been a big fan of Channel 4 News. I've been watching religiously since the age of c.15 (now in my mid-30s). But Cathy Newman is really turning me off! She asks silly questions, makes incorrect assertions and has clear biases. There are plenty of more capable female correspondents that she could and, in my opinion, she should be replaced with!
Absoletely - she's dreadful. Starmer did so well
Used to be very unbiased but it’s all changed
Cathy doesn't seem to have learned from her experience with Jordan Peterson not to ask irrelevant questions just for the sake of performance journalism.
The currency is in crisis, any other decisions by this guy or any other potential PM will depend on how the country will recover from this screw-up 1st.
Grow up, WOMAN.
She is a talk show host
Keir: " I don't we should crash the economy" Kathy: "So what you are saying is, you're boring?"
I was critical of Starmer, but not from a Corby/Momentum perspective. I have been heartened by Labour's pitch to the country and credit must go to Starmer and his team. I was in the "it will take Labour two terms to recover" camp post the 2019 disaster. I am slightly more hopeful now that the country can change for the better.
@martycrow, I wonder are you also heartened by the fact labour,especially starmer has done nothing whatsoever about the grooming gangs in labour controlled councils and are in fact keeping quiet about it? But hey never mind as long as he tries to tell you a good story!
@@themav7232 Cuckoo..!! lol
@@themav7232 There are grooming gangs, pedophiles, abusers of all sorts unrelated to who controls the council. The situation makes me sick and I have worked on combating these most awful crimes in my time. Starmer did a considerable amount as DPP though people of a certain persuasion like to bring up an irrelevant popular entertainer. The system failed many people and will continue to do so unless the country takes itself seriously.
labour are full of political activists with extreme and dangerous views. But at the moment those in the tories with the same on the tory side have taken control..
@@martycrow Thanks for your reply and yes I'm sure it's not only labour controlled councils but the ones that are don't help matters,until they do I certainly won't be voting Labour,even if they managed to grow money on trees.

UK economy sinking so badly. I can't see hope from the government other than disappointment.
Where did you find the UK economy is sinking? Maybe you need to keep abreast of the situation. It actually grew by 0.2% which is positive unlike many other economies and has avoided recession so far, again unlike many other economies. The steps taken by this government are intended to create more growth which will be beneficial to all rather than sticking to current global policies of stagnant growth. Perhaps a gamble but according to many economists, one worth taking. The alternative Labour/snp/lib dem coalition is scary. After all it is a fact that every time Labour take power they leave office with more unemployment, higher inflation and a weak economy. This is not opinion, it is fact. Check it out
@@DeezilOyl There's very little positive to say about the economy at the moment. The truly scary prospect is another 5 years of the Tories. They've done nothing but run down the country in the last twelve years. At least they won't be around after the next election.
Cathy should be sacked for asking such ridiculous questions. He told her repeatedly that he would fund a tax cut via a windfall tax to the oil and energy companies. She’s totally clueless and should be asking serious questions that the people want to hear the serious answers for. 😡
I know, I was flabbergasted when that question was asked when it was obvious that a windfall tax, if projected earnings were correct, would fund the income tax cut - even taking editing into account it made no sense to ask it.
7:05 "The markets don't distinguish whether you're borrowing to invest or borrowing to cover day-to-day spending. They'd be just as spooked if you were in No. 10".
WTF?? There's a huge difference. One creates value / an asset and/or efficiency gains, thereby reducing costs so that the loan pays for itself. The other does none of those things and keeps things ticking, in the hope that the tide turns.
A question of that quality belongs on GB News. Shameful!
He wants truss and kamikaze kwasi to stay as long as possible to secure a labour government.
But seriously this is a National emergency, I'm impressed by starmer here putting the country first and not scoring easy points.
Nah I can tell he looks scared of what he will inherit if he does win ain’t going be easy fix to all damage the conservatives have done
Never happen
I wouldn't consider myself a labour man I've never voted for the Labour party in but I like my Labour MP they've always took the time to respond to me and Kier Stamer is starting to grow on me they seem changed from the corbynists and more electable I hope they continue on this path we do need a change
Momentum (the corbynists) are dead in the party during their do the other week they brought forward motion after motion and they were shut down one by one
Your problems are " the gas price the inflations are all self-inflicted" You had to join the bandwagon /WAR against RUSSIA. Your government fuc*ted up.
Corbyn had the most sucessful mandate since Tony Blair, and all of Kier's policies are watered down versions of Jeremy's. He's better than the conservatives by a little but the bar couldn't be lower.
How was it the most successful mandate? Labor Party had its worst defeat in 80 years. I completely agree with the first comment.
@@fran276 He LOST Labour voters... alot of us. Seeing this Interview I'm beginning to think of Kier Starmer as a possible option for a PM vote. Truss seems to be a disaster and we didn't get a vote on her getting in in the first place... for me removal of a PM by their own party should trigger an immediate general election as soon as they choose who their new leader will be.
Its economical sabotage. KK's unrepentant stance suggests it was deliberate.
Bring in Labour at the next GE we need people that will act for every one from.the poorest upwards
Totally agree, Tories have had way too long running their circus of clowns and Maggie Thatcher wannabes!!
Nah. If you vote Starmer in we'll have a repeat of Blair.
@@shamanahaboolist And that’s a bad thing? Investment in education and health. Decrease in unemployment, minimum wage, that was his first term.
I hate to tell you this but whatever strategy brings in the highest tax receipts is the one to follow - even if that means tax cuts for bankers. Why? BECAUSE THEY PAY THE MOST TAX - which funds all those public sector wages
@@honved1 YES all shiny new stuff that put the NHS into hock forever. And let’s not forget mass immigration, worthless degrees, bank deregulation. ‘Hate speech’ laws, no referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and the Iraq War. All on Blair’s watch.

Exactly, that statement she made was legitimately stupid and is an embarrassment to journalism.
Things have gotten so serious that I feel Starmer is desperate to not just get the government to reverse the budget but genuinely reach out and help rescue the economy. It's getting so bad that it's beginning to no longer be a political issue but a "everyone left, right and centre are about to get royally fucked!"
where did you get that info from Uni 🤣
Seriously you for real
Gordon Brown meant a low income worker could trade in a car for a new one. Liz Truss has decided to kick the public that bailed out the banks and pat on the back the prats that caused the problem. She obviously learned her high wire tightrope noose skills from BJ the last clown in town. She is a total joke with a mad man as her no.11 side kick. UNREAL!

What's with that reporter?
Reporter: The 5 billion pound for the tax cuts for the poor would have to come from borrowing, right?
Starmer: No, we pay for that by reversing the tax cuts for the rich, no need for extra borrowing.
2 minutes later
Reporter: Back to the borrowing issue, you would have to finance your tax cuts for the poor by borrowing.
Cathy Newman just asks the most absurdly stupid questions.

Some very questionable questions but noticing the poor questions across the board in the media. Also they treat labour differently to conservatives
For goodness sake, he’s already answered the question regarding borrowing and they’re able to recoup money from greedy oil and gas companies! What’s the nonsense about being “boring”? What type of question is that? He’s trying to become prime minister! He’s not an entertainer!
Real leadership. Just that I am disappointed with his views with Brexit, which is really why we are here.
I support Keir Starmer. He is a sensible compassionate leader,
I support the centre-left.
The far-right only care about the elites. The far-right see the working class as criminals and parasites.
Boris described the working class as criminal, drunk and hopeless.
Boris allowed a poem in a magazine he edited calling for the extermination of the Scottish.
Liz Truss talked negatively about British workers in terms of productivity. She has also cut taxes for the rich elites, above other priorities.
Labour is the party for Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Far better boring but competent than selfish and stupid.
She kept arguing about borrowing 5 billion to cut taxes despite him telling her about cancelling the corporate taxes decrease and the tax on windfall profits. And then accusing him of being boring in the end. Not very professional but he never hesitated. Great job!
Windfall tax on energy companies ? Biggest donation for Truss campaign was was the wife of a Energy company CEO - no chance that is happening whilst Tories are in charge ….. instead cut services , increase interest rates for the general working class public
I'm starting to like him more
Shouldve asked about the NHS because it’s about to go
The 1st cut Should be in top government employee pay. The 2nd cut should be in CEO in his management pay.
Coincidentally, the Malaysian economy was called exactly the same: “Boring”, in 2018 right after the new Pakatan Harapan government took power, and two years before they collapsed in 2020. Albeit too late as people have been suffering even today. Ms. Truss’ government isn’t going to fare better
What an awful question 8:45. She did a great interview until this point.
So dumb isn't it. You shouldn't be able to vote if you think being none boring is important for a PM
She is Newman. She hates new men coming to her show like Peterson
Cathy is infuriating to watch.
So keep tuing in!
The boring question is highly unprofessional and imbecilic. Whoever came up with that line needs to sacked immediately. Kier did well here. He’s not my favourite but he’s not wrong in what he says. The current lot have blown it completely.
He handled that well. He has my vote.
Call for a vote of no confidence Keith before our country suffers very badly
Think about it this way, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you first face taxation above the 12k mark at 20%.
It's common sense to minimise the taxation at this band given we don't want to make low income earners more poorer and equally it makes sense to maximise taxation as you work your ways above the bands.
I often read comments such as "stop paying shareholders so much money from private companies" but for the average worker you can become owners into companies. I set my youtube channel up a few years back to promote investing for the uk audience.
She is only interested in making the rich richer.
When you have a country full of pimps, share holders, there will be no.money to pay workers
Deary me Cathy. You should brush up on basic economic theory if you're going to grill Kier on his economic policy. "The markets don't distinguish between borrowing for investment and borrowing to find day to day spending".
Really Cathy??
Support PR Starmer and then you can have my vote.
Let it sink in.... What Keir Starmer is advocating here is a reversal of tax cuts that would benefit him! Let that not be diminished.
Yup but ppl in the uk are sharing a brain cell lol, that's how we got here... apparently stupidity is a national sport
He is a millionaire so why would he reverse the scrapping of the top rate then? Stop talking nonsense.

"So you're saying..."
She’s such a terrible journalist
The tax cut for rich people is a mere drop! £2 billion at most. It's all the other giveaways. Tax reductions for all, freeze on energy and more spending! £47 billion! 95% of the extra debt. The markets are spooked!
Yes and no windfall tax from the £170 billion from the oil companies

he is speaking very well and the content make me trust him and wanting to work for the country even if I would struggle for a few years. I would be happy if sunak allied with him so it would be balanced between people and growth.
Who cares if he's boring or not, what a ridiculous question. He's not a stand up comedian. Who cares what he's like as long as he runs the country well. We've had a funny clown I.E Boris and look how that went
Politicians are supposed to be boring, when they are not you end up in the mess we are in now, give me competent and boring over incompetent and crazy.
WHY ?
The countries economy is so screwed up with the tories that I as a full time carer for my dad save the government millions but I get paid £69 a week how is anyone meant to pay any bills on a pay check like that. It’s appalling. About time we get a guy like sir Keir starmer in to actually see if he is going to do what he said he would.
I'm no previous Labour voter but I will NEVER vote Tories ever again!
Why don't they ask the PM difficult questions...?... Oh....She's AWOL.. There is now a LITERAL absence of leadership from the Tories.
Looking back from now to September the GBP to USD chart has similar high and lows to EUR to USD chart for the same period. Surely the UK issues should not effect the Euro value.
Shameful, unintelligent, click-bait journalism. SMDH Cathy. Nicely done Keir. Finally he's making good
No! Keep it as it is!!! Finally teach people what it means when you vote conservative!!!!
Why does she keep saying that he'd spend 5 billion pounds on a tax cut funded by borrowing, when he's made it clear that he'd be pulling in additional windfall taxes - Which would absolutely dwarf the spending pledge. It wouldn't be borrowing, because it would be offset by windfall taxes. You either get the money from borrowing, or you get the money from tax. Labour are opting to take it from tax.
She also doesn't seem to understand that if you managed to fund these pledges with tax, you wouldn't need to give a bailout to mortgage holders - Because there wouldn't be the need for a sharp interest rate rise. The interest rate rise is caused by the BoE needing to cut inflation, the inflation in the market is almost entirely driven by energy costs - Which the Labour government would be capping. Additionally, no extra borrowing for handouts would result in no additional devaluation of the pound or of UK bonds - because there wouldn't be an increase in supply. Very silly line of questioning.
It’s time.. time to watch Cathy Newman Vs Jordan Peterson, again. That wasn’t boring - hugely entertaining viewing.
