What is Starmer celebrating? Hardly anyone could be bothered to vote for two equally hopeless parties. Is this a ringing endorsement for change? The fact that hardly anyone thinks anyone is worth voting for. It is, but not for Labour. The change we want is a party that actually helps the country. That is not Labour or the Tory's.
Unfortunately under fptp those are the choices and neither of them are going to change that because it suits them. Party first.
if my opponent party lost 500 local seat, id be jumping with joy too
Starmer is the hopeless one and Sunak hopeful one for he managed getting us through pandemic but gloat Starmer always wants to be dodgy on someone's success. Voters don't want Starmer but Sunak who is delivering for our country. Starmer will face whole life sentence soon he is a dangerous person who will never be our British PM. Starmer lacks integrity
Starner is a fking tyrant tooll, as with all politicians ffs we only have his peril all look out for. Stuck up nastard
Reform UK 🇬🇧 is the only way.
The reason labour have sweeped local elections is because we have no confidence in the tories. Not because of labour policies. Britain is a mess because of politicians the system is broken beyond repair. Countries have difficult times but societies are disintegrating before our eyes. I hope we find a way out. I know one thing though politicians aren't going to do it , they created it.
Very well said. Finally. Someone gets it
It’s horrible to see as well. They’ve turned all of us humans against each other so they can feed their greed
Starmer's pandering to Muslims and uncontrolled immigration policies will make sure this country is royally fucked after his first term
Said this years ago when they kicked Corbyn out, Labour will only win by default next time round not because Starmer is a good Minister but because people are fed up.
I quite like the labour policies of rebuilding the economy using economic theory and improving social care by redistribution of funding and wealth but whatever...
Tories or Labour what a choice why even bother to vote, loathe both parties.
Everyone feels the same but not voting is why khan is mayor of London again vote reform if everyone who doesn't want tort or Labour vote reform then we would have reform in the uk
@@hayleydoherty9557 khan is mayor again because london is minority british, citys long gone.
Not just Starmer, the whole of the UK is crying out for the squatter in Number 10 to do the honourable thing and call a GE. Not that Sunak will. He'll hold on until the last penny of public money has been transferred into the bank accounts of the Tories' richest donors.
I’m not. Starmer is a liability
@@joebrandreth9959better than Sunak and the Tories.
Then Starmer and his mates will splash whatever they can find on illegal immigrants and their union chums.
They are 2 sides of the same coin, even the Libdems with Clegg he betrayed his voters and then ends up on the board at Facebook in the UK, they are all money grubbing parasites. If Starmer becomes PM all it will do is secure him even more money off the gravy train when he eventually gets ousted none of them are fit for purpose and they are majority corrupt. Even down to councillors the majority of them are corrupt, they get to award funding to specific projects and then pick the private companies to do the work its all a big con to see how much money can be taken off the governments credit card that is way overdrawn...
The whole U.K doesnt want Starmer and his wastes of space either 👍
Biggest mess in tory History
As opposed to a Labour Party mess, a note saying no money left lol.
@@davidfoster2006don't be an id iot all your life mate
And the Tories have a history of making messes and gambling, the media just cover it up for them
Say a lot when Labour have failed even with the endless asian voting frauds scandals the last 20 years..if your not muslim go vote libs
@@davidfoster2006 That debt is nothing compared to the rise in the national debt after fourteen years of Tory corruption and incompetence.
1:19 Hand rejected
Gutted 😆
Heartbreaking.
It was an awkward attempt.
lol
Awkwardness runs in Labour
I remember when David Cameron called upon Gordon Brown to call an election. And so it goes on, the game of musical chairs that is British politics.
Difference was 2010 mess was a a result of global economics (housing market in America). Infact brown saved our bank balances. The Tories have been destroying the country ever since they got in. David could’ve invested more in the nhs in 2010s as interest rates were historically low (much like America). But no they are guided by ideology
all politicians are parasites. it matters not which party they are having.
Was Gordon Brown ever as bad as these Muppets, voted remain, never voted tory and proud.
@@Thedarkknight2244 good point...
And the banks have more power now thanks to Brown oh and the War criminal Blair oh and no money
This clown will be same as Sunak, 110% guarantee..... Empty words again and again!
Isn't that the game of politics?😉
@@joelgoldsmith4747 absolutely, so the question is why the people still trust them and vote.......
@@konstantinivanov9618 the labour and non-native bloc.
And once the non-native bloc become the majority.
Expect things to get even worse.
he shouldn't even be on say, a Parish Council. He shouldn't even be running a sweet shop.
Sunak: What's election 🤔 😂
Uk is not united anymore
Was it ever? As long as I can remember there have been right wingers dividing us... They never accepted diversity, they never intergrated into our multicultural society, they refused to unite with minorities. Still today they scream for immigrants and refugees to "get out".... Its hard to unite a country where a fairly large minority refuse to be united and just want to get rid of half of British citizens.
it never will be
Never was, the class system always existed, even before the Norman invasion.
Yes it’s just a ‘Kingdom’ now
When has it ever been ?
We are sick of waiting.
Yeah, lets have an election so the tories, that were pushing the net zero scam for the global elite, can be replaced with Labour, who will push the net zero scam for the global elite, great.
Tories won't have a GE. They want to keep their snouts in the trough for as long a possible.
Then it's Labour snouts like socialist Venuzuala and enslaved powerless underclass.
Tories will have a GE, but they have too. But they won't call an early one.
@@SDrtheonethey would have been better off calling a GE last year, would have faired better, sunak is holding on for the India deal, which would benefit his family personally, it’s looking like he won’t get that either, for sunak his ego wants not to be the worst prime minister for conservatives in history, his thinking about reputation be jetting his family off to California. I really didn’t get what sunak angle was in politics, his very inexperienced, I thought it was to go down as the first prime minister to be Asian, but as time has gone on that’s not his angle,
It’s personal wealth his after
Oooh nasty ...not like the liebours
@@gingerssmelllikecabbageand8708 I'm from India and I remember when he was elected party leader and Prime Minister every news station in India was praising him and acting like it was a massive achievement for India. Most people were saying how it's incredible he became Prime Minister and I said at that time that he'd end up being horrible.
As for his family, his billionaire father-in-law said a few months that he believes the work week should be increased from 40 hours to 70 hours and he then went on to double down on it after receiving criticism.
All the sheeple believing the same ol bs
Better than tory swines 😂😂
Rishi sunak MUST resign now.
lol that's like scoring a goal and then asking the ref to call full-time lol
If the roles were reversed, would Starmer bow to Sunak's wishes .... I don't think so.
Course he does nobody knows what labour have planned and only see the cons doing badly atm
All bogs in the same shitehouse, UK is DEAD
Totally agree, England has gone. It's been taken over as Enoch Powell predicted.
In other words: im a right winger but my party messed the uk up in 14 years, so ill just smear them as they're all the same 😂
Yeh it's labour's fault the Tories have been dismantling the UK over the last 14 years... 😂 🤡
@@zhi2219 no theyre just all the same, international liberalist centrists serving oligarchy, only the rhetoric changes between parties.
We’ve heard a lot about the will of the people. Surely a General Election is the current will of the people.
No politicians cares about the 'will of the people'
I think native English, Scottish and Welsh are so fed up with all political parties that they won’t bother voting, only winners will be the Islamic nutters.
We need change now
GO WORKERS PARTY! we dont want Labour OR Tory, we need a FRESH START!
Is that Galloway? I dont share his politics on most things. I'll be voting Reform, but at least he's genuine and has some integrity and principles, so fair enough, we have to break the corrupt two party system that take it in turns to ignore the public, everyone needs to stop tribal voting for the main two like sheep, just to win their petty arguments and gloat on social media.
Don’t want them, they pander to Muslim freaks
Urgh. I really want to vote Green at the GE.
I'll be voting for Workers Party come general election
Both Labour and Torries are disaster for this country !!
But the country was better under Labour. We need to vote for the best out of the worst we have.
I’m sorry but in a crisis I would trust Labour over the Tories. The Tories would just save themselves. They are mean and unkind to everyone
I agree
No real evidence of that. The last Labour gov was successful in many ways.
@@NondualChristian it will only be a matter of time when Labour mess things up
Conservative or Labour both sides of the same coin we a screwed either way
Indeed, both pushing the net zero scam for their globalist elite masters that obviously control them, giving us the illusion of a "democracy".
Just as long as none of us are expected to fight for these bunch of counts, I don't care anymore!
Starmer will have UK forces supporting genocidal Israel...
...his Zionists masters will make sure of that...
Vote reform in the real election, and get labour and Tory's out
Lmao no.
@@gmtom19 no your a Muslim hahaha
Reform is not great either. Personally I will be voting either Social Democratic Party or Britain First.
@@gmtom19 Just keep proping up the corrupt establishment and vote Labour like the rest of the sheep then.
@VoteReform-qr3hn Doesn't matter what u vote who ever is in have to fallow what the shadow man says
1:19 fail 😂
Doesn't Peter Parker look like a elder brother of Starmer.
Did anyone see the new mayor go for a handshake then pretend like it never happened 😂😂😂 🥶
Like an election NOW
Yeah, lets have an election so the tories, that were pushing the net zero scam for the global elite, can be replaced with Labour, who will push the net zero scam for the global elite, great.
Wake up UK!
Wake up humanity.
yes they need wake up ! there no different than cons
Time for change!!
Whoever doesn’t listen to the British public will know about it now, these last few years have been horrendous and were not taking anymore, start listening and doing your jobs.
While most of us will be happy to see the back of Sunak and his cronies, we are looking forward to a Labour government as much as we would to a root canal without anesthetic!
Call an election just like Gordon Brown did in 2010 while the banks were sufferring runs for the first time in 90 years.Some people have very short memories.
Is he calling for a permanent election, temporary election or a pause.
Notice the body / hand language of starmer coded messages !
lol that awkward hand shake at 1:23
One off one on but its still the same merry go round of despair for the population of Britain.....same flipping lies blah blah
I bet he does, until he plummets in the poll.
Repeal the bedroom tax and get rid of poverty!💪💪💪
More tea vicar Starmer!
Yeah, sorry, Keir, but it's not a serve.
The longer it goes on the more people will dispise the Tories. The individual Tory MP won't count...the party is losing voters day by day. Lee Anderson had the right idea jumping ship.
Here we go with Reverend Starmer
1:17 How embarrassing going to shake someone's hand and they ignore it xD
Anyone see him go for the handshake? 😂😂
Can we have a full list of each MPs outside interests published before the election. Including lodge status and any contracts signed for foreign outside lobbying purposes.
Can we it's a simple task .
Starter calls for an election, there’s a scoop…….not.
We do not want him as well
Get back in your box ‘Captain Charisma’ it’s months away 😂
That is a strategically placed turban
Mark my words. We wont have a GE this year. Sunak will find some excuse for not holding one and postpone for as long as possible.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an ‘incident’ that suddenly makes it ‘unsafe’ to hold a GE.
That would explain why he's trying to start a war with Russia.
The king could always advise sunak to go to the country, the late queen did in the 70’s
Mayoralties, an expensive and unnecessary complete irrelevance.
Hahaha, it would be funny if one was held and he still didn't win. the look on his face would be priceless 🤣
I am going to say one thing. Remember Kinnock? He was a dead sure bet in 92 and look what happened.
Shake hand IGNORED 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How was it ignored. Don't think starmer seen it, but keep coping
There's no good reason to call elections 'as soon as possible '.
And what a choice we will have at the next election.
Tories pushing the net zero scam or Labour pushing the net zero scam, it's not even a choice.
Different sides to the same coin. We should start a fair tax party a party where the super rich get taxed fairly as us working class. They cannot move elsewhere as their assets are here, tax the assets.
1:19 handshake rejected
Starmer calls for an election.
Sunak: "Some of my best friends are elections."
It wont happen until November.
Coming attraction Keir Starmers magic wand , Not like that , Like this !
General election now
Considering him calling for an election didn't work last time, or the time before that, or the time before that, or the time before that, etc etc
Does he really think it will work
Wonderful speech ❤
I wasn’t well enough to vote on this occasion, please consider this comment as my vote in favor of Labour Party if country’s future plans goes well according to the speech ❤
People should be very careful what they wish for - under Labour, things could get a lot, lot worse.
I’ll never understand why Brits always keep voting for the same two parties. It’s like turkeys voting for Christmas.
If He gets in England is finished. Look at the state of that town in Leeds. That is just the beginning of the end.
'That town in Leeds?'
My hopes are dashed, but I don't think labour will help me
Good riddance to the hapless tories but isn’t it the sad reality that there isn’t a decent alternative??? Starmer is not the answer, nor is Corbin and his clueless bunch.
Labour and Conservative play Pass the Parcel as to who governs but the reality is that there is no valid 3rd option.
VOTE REFORM, Our Country needs this Desperately.
A bunch of xenophobic economically illiterate headbangers is the last thing this country needs.
There’s no difference between the bloody lot of them.
Please replace rishi sunak now.
The media only want to replace one corrupt leader with another, Sunak who never got voted to be PM with Starmer who will do the same net zero scam for their globalist elite masters.
_Although to be fair, 0.3% is hardly a sweeping victory, as much as I like seeing the exiting government leave faster._
Might be in for a bit off a shock . When reform challenge them . 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Reform caused this mess
He's not fit for the purpose, none of them are in either party.
gonna say something Sky?
Starma is ONLY A DAVOS BOY! HE DO T WANT THE TOP JOB HES ALREADY TOLD US HE WANTS DAVOS JOB NOT PRIME MINISTERS JOB 😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why is Starmer dressed up as a vicar?
I would vote if there was anyone worth voting for.
If sunak has any humanity left then he should call it. I cannot see him doing so though
Leave sunak right were he is as he needs to be held responsible. Why should he be spared the embarrassment that is to come
He needs more than embarrassment. We need criminal investigations for tories.
kier will lose like Corbyn
Imagine if Starmer was actually charismatic and Popular what these elections would be.
Im voting labour despite Starmer and to hear him crow bothers me. Im praying hes a brilliant PM or it will mean the tories back in after one term.
Couldn't fit a cigarette paper between the two parties.
@@pjdunnit6753 yup. And UK politics is being dragged ever more to the right. Mostly I blame the media.
I wouldn't settle on as soon as possible! But sooner than was likely to be! I want the end of July of this year! Anything else will NOT do!
If we don't stand up together, Britain will be lost to Muslim Labour. Vote ReformUK.
So ur voting a business to run Britain? They don't give a toss about u pal. They just wanna tell u what u wanna hear. Vote workers party at least.
@@wba9652 Starmer and Sunak serve Israel

@@billbird6494 reform serves nobody apart from their business bank accounts.
@@wba9652 Good for the fake economy
Swept*
Vote No!!!, at the General Election, stop this madness!
It's strange I haven't heard what they will do for the country and how they will control world inflation .
Good luck with that. Why would Sunak give up power - he will cling on for as long as possible
He really hasn't anything to offer has he?
No difference between Labour and conservatives.
🥱🙄 Yes there is!
Grow up
Too true, Starmer has dragged Labour into the centre right, which is the ONLY place they can win an election from! See Commie Corbyn and worst defeat since the 1930's!
After voting conservative all his life, average BREXIT geezer:
Noooooo 😮😮😮😮! ItS Aa UnIpArTyyyyy!!!!!! 😮😮😮😮 🤡
True. They are both Anglophobes
Great!! The UK then goes from “CRAP” to a whole new level …”ABYSMAL”
This is the best speech I have seen Starmer give and for first time Since he's been Labour leader I like what he said here. Its clear he's going to be our next PM but id still rather Angela Raynor.
As if that traitor will be any better.
What is up with the way he claps?
Someone tell me how a Labour government be any different to to the Tories?
Starmer can call for whatever he wants its up to Sunak to call the election , he can wait till January if he wants
Either way, Sunak is out, better to just rip the plaster off.
Of course, it's never about the Country is it ,just about him and cronies..🤪
The End of Story...Rishi Sunaka and the Government please is time leave...
A Nothing Burger sung loud!!!
Vote for the Citizen Independents!!!
