My prediction for 2024 is that MPs will accept their payrise with the same old excuse "It was the decision of the IPSA and not us" , as if they would refuse it!
I'm leaving in 10 to 15 years because this
I would agree to the MPs high pay, as long as NO second jobs, consultancy fees, "donations" etc etc
I'm sorry I really don't give a fuck that 650 whole people are getting a pay rise
@@alfredbrennand9907 Yes, the number of MPs should be halved
The IPSA needs to go, it's way too easy to corrupt
The current system is showing signs of strain due to government and federal policies. In the coming days, the banking crisis would need to reach an unprecedented scale for the FED to avoid raising interest rates. However, that seems unlikely; an increase appears imminent, potentially leading to a market downturn. Anticipate more challenging times in the latter half of 2024, marked by market turbulence, escalating inflation, and potential bank failures. I'm curious: will the swift interest rate hike benefit a value-driven investor, or is it wiser to steer clear of stocks temporarily?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
Very true, you can be passively involved in the markts and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.
I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your coach?
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Stacie Lynn Winson and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I support her.
I greatly appreciate it. I'm fortunate to have come upon your message because investing greatly fascinates me. I'll look Stacie up and send her a message. You've truly motivated me. God's blessings on you.
As a West Midlander, I of course remind you all that the London Mayoral Election is 1 of 10 Regional Mayor's up for grabs, with two new one's in the East Midlands (Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire) and North Yorkshire, with the North of Tyne Mayor being expanded to become the North East Mayor. This is alongside 35 or so Police and Crime Comissioner polls in England and Wales. Safe to say May 2nd is going to be an absolute bumper day even if the General isn't then and for my part, I am hoping to get on to my City Council in Wolverhampton in my 4th election, where I missed out by a mere 46 votes this year.

Hopefully Sunak will locate his cojones and call a general election, and take us out of our misery.
He has no incentive to... I'm sure he'll stick it out until 2025 if he can.

Hello Paul, how are you doing today.
Labour win or lose - we all lose either way.
Well I’ve certainly lost under the Tories since 2010, with out of control bills, sky high food prices and I’ve had my freedom of movement taken away. So f*ck the Tories, fu*k off Sunak.

@@user-oc8no5jc2r That's really the point I'm making 'Labour can't do any worse' . Wow that's great so if everything over the last thirteen years is all down to the Tories and there's been no external factors in the down trend of the UK we can pretty expect more of the same under Labour because ideologically they're almost identical anyway and blatantly incompetent. Looking forward to that! Another five or more years of total shit. Vote for someone else IMO. Even if it's a wasted vote due to our basically two party system it's still better than voting for more of the same under a different name..

We need to normalize a simple lifestyle and stop normalizing debt. Huge SUVs, huge houses and private universities are simply not necessary.

My primary issue right now is how to increase revenue during these tough times. I can't afford to see my savings disappear into thin air.
Honestly speaking, investing is a smart way to secure your family's future, grow your wealth, and stay ahead of inflation.
there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment expert or advisor with experience.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisor and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

UK is done in a nutshell!
Don't forget the negative Siddiq Khan effect in London, linked to the failure to take Uxbridge?
It would be funny if Labour gets the most seats but the likes of Starmer and Wes Streeting lose their seats (given how unpopular they are among their constituents).
You don't have to be elected to be a minister/PM in the UK, it's not a real democracy.
I was hoping for that in the 2022 Australian Election (that Albo would lose his seat for being too conservative) but he somehow increased his majority in his apparently 'progressive' urban seat. People don't vote against the party leader.
@@locorum9103 I was hoping they wouldn't get a majority and would have to deal with the Teals.
Hello Jack, how are you doing today.
If there is a small majority for labour, this country deserves to fall apart, the only thing coming out of the general election should be a 400+ seat labour party, and the tory party to collapse.
We can only hope.
A small majority would be the best thing for the country. A large labour majority will allow Starmer to continue with tory policies. A small majority would see him pushed to the left by his own party the Greens, the LD's and nationalist parties. A large majority for Labour would literally be the worst outcome for any one left-wing or even centrist.
If the Tories split, Labour will too. Really the only thing keeping both parties together is the knowledge of the spoiler effect it would have on their politics. I could easily see Momentum and the Corbynites cleaving themselves off into a new hard left party if the Tories split.
@@archvaldor I doubt that the lib dems would get enough seats for that, the greens don't have enough voters to even gain more than like 3 seats. It's just not possible for a coalition to form in FPTP, so I'd rather let labour gain confidence from their large majority to push stuff through, the local elections will pressure them if they don't deliver.
@archvaldor Was a large Labour majority bad during the Blair/Brown years ???? Also why should Starmer be pushed to the left so much to enact leftists policies that he might not personally agree with and possibly dislike ????
Can we talk about the police officer in the clip of 10 downing street seeing a cat, looking around for witnesses, then petting the cat🤣🤣🤣🤣

I agree, but the problem is after Labour are in power for a little bit people will forget what the Conservatives were like and the Conservatives will pretend to have changed and people will switch back to the Conservatives again. It's something like 70% of voters who have voted for both Labour and Conservative in their lifetimes. A lot of people just keep continually switching between the two.
@@iss2075becauae they are the only party(ies?) the media talks about. Even when the local election vote split evenly between Labour and the Lib Dems last May (or mainly for the Liberals and Greens in 2019) it was all about "Labour gains".
Same with by-elections - Mid Bedfordshire has become a big reault that defines the next general election.
But Somerton and From, North East Shropshire, Tiverton and Honiton; and Chesham and Amersham were all incidental results that were bad for the Conservatives rather than good for the Liberals.
Hello Adam, how are you doing today.
It seems the UK will be having a “change” general election next year. While across the pond we’re likely going to have a rematch election between two geriatric men.😮💨
If it makes you feel any better there certainly won’t be much change, labour are pushing much of the same right wing rhetoric as the conservatives, they’ll just disappoint everyone because that’s what they do.
What change? We’re essentially jumping from one puddle of piss to another
@@SupremeST25 notice the quotation around change.
I can see 2024 being a very bumpy ride for all. We have a mortgage crises that is set to continue, do the Tories really want to be held responsible for that, if we don't get a May election? As for Wellingborough (and Blackpool South because it's inevitable, imo), as long as Labour does not get complacent, they should be able to pull off a big win.
They should be made to take responsibility for it. It was created by them when Truss wiped 30 billion off the economy. Then the tories sat back and took no responsibility for the root cause of inflation which is the greed of the corporations. Hope you are right about the big Labour win.
Not at all. Presidential election years are usually positive for the economy.
So buy ahead and sell before disappointment sets in.
Wake up none of them care-why? because there is nothing you can do. All mp's are protected by "parliament" Its a world of elites, none are accountable to the public.
The one thing we know is the tories have done no work for so long that it is unlikely we’ll see a change to our living standards. Potentially more layoffs as businesses continue to struggle with a shrinking economy with people having less money to spend on eating out, eating in, clothing.
Always the way when labour get in, the tories always leave a floater
This is so blatantly England-centric. A relatively quiet year !?! Have you people completely forgotten everything that went down with Sturgeon and the SNP!?!?! The resignations and arrest of the former first minister, her husband the party chairman and party treasurer on financial crimes is a HUGE disruptive event to the political landscape! But hay, it only happened north of the border, so I suppose it's not really worth dwelling on...

i agree we need to REFORM it.
Anyone believing in the guff peddled by Tice and Farage needs therapy
@@fragfmgill
@@fragfmgilli might be tempted to vote reform next year, our current 2 party democracy clearly isnt serving the indigenous white working class, but reform appear to be a one trick pony "immigration"....can we hear more about their plans (if they have any) to level up the wealth divide increasingly seen in society.
@@eddieharris6004 I definitely agree with the need to break the two-party deadlock, as neither Labour or the Tories are doing anything to help up, but voting Reform won't fix things, because it isn't immigration that it screwing us - that's a red herring. The real issue is the elites getting richer and richer while paying for less and less - of which Farage is one.
Reform's economic plan is essentially Austerity on steroids: cut taxes on everyone and everything while also cutting spending, while simultaneously promising better services and relying on private corporations to pick up the slack - which almost ALWAYS comes at a higher price due to the profit margin.
Their crime plan is to essentially turn Britain into a police state; further increasing police numbers based on the "common sense" that "more police means less crime", which is not held up by the data - especially given the number of police who are themselves found guilty of crimes and sexual assaults. Community policing, reducing economic and social inequality, and a focus on rehabilitation rather than simply incarceration all have far greater impacts on actual, long-term crime rates and recidivism than simply slapping more bobbies on the streets. More police is tackling the symptom; not the cause. There's also the question of necessity - the crime rate is at an all time LOW, at less than a quarter of the number of incidents reported in the mid-90s - so why do we so desperately need to spend all of this extra money on policing, when we could be investing it directly into our communities? This is especially egregious when considering the massively reduced budget that the Reform Party aims to have with its tax reforms.
Their immigration plan is essentially the same as their police plan - tackling the symptom rather than the cause - with an added dose of breaking human rights laws. It's an amped up version of current Tory proposals, minus Rwanda. The issue with UK immigration is that 1) we have sold the world a dream of prosperity and safety, meaning people DO want to come here, especially if they are facing war and poverty, 2) we've made our immigration laws extremely elitist and draconian, making it extremely difficult to legally immigrate - especially as an asylum seeker, driving people towards illegal means, and 3) UK companies are desperate to hire migrants, because they are cheaper and more desperate, therefore they are less likely to demand higher wages or better safety practices from their corporate overlords. This is why it's not as simple as "stopping the boats" and imprisoning anyone who makes it here - that's just sadism; not a practical solution. These are real people with actual needs and wants, who came here seeking a better life; they're not cartoon villains coming here to "steal jobs" or whatever. They see the UK as a shining city on a hill - they don't see the poverty and inequality until they get here. They think there's plenty to go around; they don't realise most of that is being hoarded by a few. The solution is to either stop selling ourselves so well, or to actually invest in the housing and other services required to meet the needs of our ever growing population, which we are failing to do even if you ignore immigration - largely because most of our land and property is owned by wealthy foreign billionaires.
That's not to say that their policies are ALL bad. I agree with many of their tax policies for working class people, however they extend those cuts to the super wealthy as well - who have more than doubled their wealth relative to the rest of the population since COVID, driving much of the rise in inflation and inequality. Cutting taxes so drastically on ALL tax brackets would likely do much the same as Liz Truss' disastrous mini budget.
We need to vote for a party that goes beyond just addressing surface level issues, and actually fixes the structural issues causing them. I'm not quite sure yet which party that is, but I'm fairly certain is isn't Reform.
@@fragfmgillReform are just more Fascists
The worst outcome is another coalition government in any configuration. But I think it's safe to say the tories have burnt their stockpile of goodwill. Sunak has done a good job to stabilise his party, but not the nation that literally feel fed up.
He hasn’t stabilised the party at all. Take the ‘A’ out of his surname and that’s what he is … sunk
Honestly, fhe Coaliton of 2010-2015 was the best government I have seen and certainly better than the single party leadership the country has seen since it ended.
I'd be very happy with a return to coaliton governments if they can stop the extreme wings of Braverman and Corbyn from rising as they have over the last decade.
I would welcome a coalition government, especially Lab/Lib
I misheard "bullying offences" as "boning offences".

IF Labour do win Wellingborough the repercussions for the Conservatives can’t be understated, especially when we are now months to a General Election. Essentially every Tory MP would go into the election in an unsafe seat.
Because of this by-election Sunak wont call an early GE. This will give him time to fill the media with lies and promises and the gullible public will vote the scu...er...Tories back in.

Hello Joe, how are you doing today.
"Momentum" is such a strange concept in elections. I suspect it's something that mostly exists in the minds of political journalist looking in from outside, rather than a genuine driving force.
Political momentum is more of a general vibe than anything else imo, successive big mistakes and everyone's talking about it, and it is also difficult to overcome entrenched views so it does take some convincing even if it's infront of our faces
Regardless of who you elect, “There won’t always be an England”
UK politics in 2024 will probably offer the same soap-opera experience to the rest of the world as it has been doing since 2016. So popcorn-sales will continue to go up.

Hello Bobsind, how are you doing today.
I think given the Budget is on the 6th March, I would be surprised if the general is not on the same day as the locals. Why would the tories want to lose even more councillors than if they put the GE the same day where they’d lose fewer councillors, and most likely lose by a smaller amount in the general?
Things are only going to get worse in the summer, immigration in particular where they’d haemorrhage more votes to Reform. But the economy won’t pick up much, at least they can hand out a load of tax breaks in March and hope for the best in a May poll…

The Tories will lose catastrophically... but Labour don't seem to be any more popular than they were before. I think that, at the next election, Labour will win a minority government, and the right-leaning vote will be split between the Tories, Reform, and other minor parties.
I actually think Reform will do quite well, as a percentage of votes (10-20%), but will get few seats due to our FPTP system.
I think reform could get 1 under this system
There will definitely be a big Political shock next year...

I'd love to finally live in this goddamn country under Labour rule! I came here literally at the start of the Tory failure and I've had enough with them already! The only saving grace is my borough and London as a whole are run by Labour so that's some silver lining. My big worry is that Kier will fuck this shit up when literally all he had to do was keep quiet, the tories would've done the rest themselves. The biggest campaigners for Labour are the Tories at this point, Labour can spend £0 on campaigning as everything the Tory gov. does will help Labour win. But, no, that was too difficult for Kier and he had to start diving the party and the public. If Labour lose this election and I have to live another 5 years of Tory rulership I'd go crazy!
I sure hope Sadiq wins again, as I know there's been a lot of issues there especially around ULEZ and TFL funding and a lot of that wasn't even his fault.
Labout and Conservatives are almost identical. I remember in 2010 (I was 18 years-old, so only had experienced Labour rule and was worried it would be a life-changing event having Conservatives in power) and nothing changed when they swapped. They are so similar that you wouldn't even notice. Honestly, if you try and avoid politics next year so you don't know when the election is, and don't know who's won, you won't be able to tell that anything has changed.
There are things where they are very close, but there are policies close to heart that Labour is definitely the better choice. Plus for me, if we have let's say 10 or 20 years of Labour now, they hopefully can actually go to their roots and actually swing left thus the nation also swinging left. I guess cuz of the Tory rule they had to align more center and right than left as otherwise they'd never be elected.@@iss2075
I'm not particularly a Labour fan boy but I'm hoping the next GE renders the tory party irrelevant for at least a decade.

Hell yeah
I have a question about U.K politics. I'm m more ingrained into the quagmire of American politics. Why does everyone call the conservative party the "Tory Party"? I know that was the name of a defunct conservative party but why do people in the U.K still use it? We don't call Republicans the "whig" party.
1. You do call it the GOP sometimes
2. Toryism is a political philosophy (and aspects are still quite strongly supported by some conservative voters/MPs) so its kind of like calling Democrats "liberals", in that you are naming voters/politicans after their political ideology (or atleast what the political ideology used to be, and what some people still wish it was/believe it is).
3. The name had a long history so why stop using it (ironically this is a though process that kind aligns with toryism)
@@BobsRockets I guess that's what I was confused about. I thought of the name as a call back to the Tory party itself. That's why I made the Whig comparison as the Whig party collapsed in the 1850s and the Republican party was born to supplant it. No one other than political junkies even know what the Whig party is in modern times.
@@ejkk9513 It would probably also be a call back to the old name to some extent. The tories as a political grouping lasted around 6 times longer than the whigs, so when the conservatives were born the tory name was something that had existed for all of everyones lives, rather than just something that existed for a few years during their lives.
Nowadays, it's commonly used as an insult, to denote how they are still basically the party of the old and wealthy, and also to denote them as being utterly out of touch.
Best we don't know. Then we can pretend everything will be ok.

It'll get worse before it gets better.
Sunak has already hinted that May is unlikely to be the month of the General Election and that he prefers the 2nd half of 2024.
But the Conservatives almost always bank on the "grey" vote and with that thought in mind i really can't see that they will leave it too late in the year.
I am guessing that August, September or October will be the month of the General Election.
Thursday 5th of September seems to have a nice ring to it.
Would you stop calling Cameron a centrist!!! Is being a remainer the only criterion for being labelled a centrist? He was in many ways more right wing than May, Johnson or Sunak.
Political commentary channels like this operate purely on vibes, that's how they generate consistent content. Cameron is 'centrist' and Sunak is 'moderate' because they want to draw a distinction between them and Bojo. It's the same with the GOP, anyone going against Trump is considered 'more moderate' by default. I've also heard them call the Lib Dems leftist lol.
It's a sign of the Overton Window moving.
I'm not British but I feel like political parties are so far from what people actually want. All parties are appealing to extremists because they select the candidates. Never thought I'd say this but I miss when politicians could lie by saying terrible things to appease those people behind closed doors w/o fear of being recorded.
Labour are literally the most milktoast centre right party in modern politics.
Yes, I said centre right. There is nothing in their manifesto a boring European Christian Democrat wouldn’t propose. (CDs in Europe are the centre right)
Only the extreme right get pandered to though. We don't even have a centre-left party at this stage. It's sickening.
@@DrSpooglemon we do, it just happens to be the tories of all people.
@@thetreelander7378 You're a clown.
It’s only the tories, in what way is labor appealing to its extremist?
What is it with British MPs always being accused of Sexual Misconduct.
We're still quite repressed and puritanical on the whole (at least in public), so sex scandals always move newspapers and get clicks. Plus, given how many of our politicians come from wealth and public schools, the scandals are often....weirder.
Be lucky to get a 20% turnout for this latest pointless farce.
A government department should be running our cities and not some upstarts that think they know better than everyone else
London Mayor has to be removed
A Labour Government.
All I want for Christmas....
is a new PM!... a new PM!
We need a referendum on the green new deal
Polling is a fix you can vote more than once
In the last 2 decades I think the pollsters seemingly somehow no longer reach the deep seated right wing and right wing ultras in the country who will never vote other than that. Not captured in the poll numbers means Labour position always looks considerably better than it really is.
I imagine would have to be tilting to almost 100% to get a super wide majority in 2024. As it is now - even this whopping lead they still show will likely result in a slim to modest majority win.
If Tories defect to Reform, means a bigger Labour majority.
Watch the by election in Wellingborough for indications on Reform.
It's going to be a landslide and tactical voting could wipe the Tories out.
There is no love of Stupid Evil hard right policies in the Blue wall, these appeal to the +50 male uneducated UKIP crowd in the Red wall and they won't vote Tory again
If reform siphon the 10% Tory vote it will be a slaughter for the conservatives. Labour doesn't need to overturn thumping majorities if the right splits its vote.
Doesn’t matter who wins, 2024 and 5 is going to be a total s**tshow.
Sunak stabilised the Truss Johnson shambles with in-fighting. Suella was always wrong appointment to front bench
I buy one razor every 6-8 months for a couple of pounds. If you want to lower your plastic footprint, avoid products with excessive packaging, keep cotton/junta bags, avoid one use plastics. People generate on a daily base so much plastic waste that they don't even give two thoughts about...almost as if they thought that buying a non-plastic razor will even the balance out. Well, it won't. Look at what you're doing daily, inspect your habits, identify your worst polluting habits and remove them from your lifestyle completely. Only after that having a bamboo toothbrush and non-plastic tools (in general) will make sense.
I'm just here to see Chief Mouser Larry get petted on repeat.
In 4 days the City will lose, definite, access to EU banking, and later in 2024, to Euro Clearance, so, paying from goods coming in from the EU will have added money transfer taxes in payments and revenues that will end up in the UKs supermarket shelves, add that cost to all imports and exports to and from the EU, including energy. Politically? The system is the same, so a Tory or Labour cabinet will do the same, Labour being, apparently, more pragmatic and less focused on covering up their 10 year sins.
Will we swap one liar for another come the election?
Hello William, how are you doing today.
I know this country is crying out for change and we've got a prime minister who is a coward who won't call an election
Respect
Hello Tony, how are you doing today.
No one has a answer what do I do
Tldr, ignoring all other metro mayor's across the country that are up for election and only focusing on London.
Hello Adam, how are you doing today.
The number of Tory MPs resigning just keeps on growing.
But like anything the devil is in the detail.
There was one week during 2023, which I distinctly remember because there was 2 By-elections in the UK both former seats of a Conservative MP.
The first was in Tamworth in the West Midlands/Staffordshire area. A seat that often reflected the mood of the country rather than being a Labour or Conservative heartland.
The second was a bit further South in Bedfordshire, very much a Tory area.
Before the results were known I thought that Labour would maybe take Tamworth but I was surprised to see that they had in fact taken BOTH seats.
So, as far as I am concerned that no matter which month Sunak calls the General Election the fact still remains that barring any minor miracle the writing is well and truely on the wall for the Conservatives.
And the thing that is making matters worse for them is the number of right wing splinter parties because they are just stealing what would have been thousands upon thousands of potential Conservative votes.
But to be blatantly honest I just think that the British public has simply had enough of the Conservatives for the foreseeable future.
Not true, the near collapse of the British steel industry, the record pollution of our rivers and beaches to name just two disasters
2 party system, maintain the status quo and give more benefits to immigrants then our own people. Same old.
