41:13 naw this is absurd coverage, sniggering at every point being made by the Scottish FM 🏴
I know! You'd think they would be supportive of progressive policies, but because it's Scotland they couldn't care. Sums up the English disdain, let us leave this abusive relationship
The LibDems didn't form a coalition with labour because they didn't have enough seats. Labour won 258 + LibDems 57 = 315 overall when you need 326 for a majority. Them forming a coalition was Labour was never an option. Did the LibDems make mistakes during the coalition? Absolutely. But, if they are giving good policies, it is completely unfair to simply disregard them on the basis of one broken promise from 14 years ago. The LibDems did have achievements in government, and many of their current members and MPs come from after that period. Like all political parties, you don't have to believe everything they say or like their policies. But, it is extremely frustrating to constantly hear young left-wing pundits active during the tuition fee rises consistently say that they genuinely like all of the LibDem policies and then proceed to immediately dismiss them on the basis of a single mistake from 14 years ago.
Gordon Brown was terrible at those negotiations. Whereas Clegg and Cameron had a minor bromance.
I agree too. I'm frustrated that Novara and others are not willing to hear the Lib Dems out and give them a chance. I understand they were complicit in austerity and made some broken promises, but parties, their leaders and their values can change. Why not give Ed Davy and the Lib Dems a chance to proove they have changed? Do we want either Reform or the Conservatives to be opposition? I'm voting Lib Dems this election; great manifesto, good left-wing policy, good hard working MPs, and a very relatable and friendly leader.
Yes and an apology was given for that at the time? Have Labour apologized for the Iraq War or Conservatives apologized for Liz Truss' mini-budget
@@joecurran2811 I've heard both Blair and Prescott apologise for Iraq
Truss has since doubled down on that mini-budget
"The LibDems did have achievements in government" fire away...they are just known for selling out to the Tories
I think Ed Davey comes across as very human, caring, genuine and sincere - he’s not lying, he’s not spinning, (mainly not) Obfuscating and not backstabbing and this to me makes him infinitely preferable to Keir Starmer
Ed Davey was a minister in a Tory government
Starmer wasn’t
He is full of BS, I can see through him. He must remind you of your uncle and you must have a bias if you don’t see it.. 👀🙄
@@thegoodthebadandtheugly579 I do not have an uncle like that
ive meet Ed and he really is like that. You dont join the LDs for a career.
I never thought I would say this, but, having listened to Davey, and Swinney, they've got more integrity in their little finger than that lying, turncoat, Starmer!
The libdems are actually looking good and i thought the audience did not glaze over. I am voting green but the libdems look better than labour
Interested to know why you're voting green? I'd say the lib dems have more chance of making change
@@matthewpoole2700 I agree but no D where I am standing
Lib dems are favourites where I live.
@matthewpoole2700 they won't though.
@@matthewpoole2700they have more of a chance but frankly i trust the greens more
John Swinney is a proper politician not a social charmer like Starmer and Blair.
😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious.
Novara media should present a election debate with all the seven or eight political parties of the UK (from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) because Westminster affects the entire population.
Ed Davey actually came across as the best of this lot.
I’m sorry but the format of you talking over the speakers doesn’t work, it makes me frustrated and angry with you.
1:01:31 Guys please judge John Swinney on the policies of the snp not his personality. If personalities were needed to secure votes then nobody will win this election.
Sunak keeps taking credit for the rate of inflation falling. When he made this pledge originally, many said it was an empty misleading one as it was outside of the government's control. No one appears to be challenging him on this. He denied his party were responsible for the rapid increase but takes credit for the decline. I accept there were global issues that raised inflation for many countries but the level it reached was down to Liz Truss. She blamed the Bank of England but no one wants to give them credit now
Yeah. And what was his plan on inflation? Never heard it. Seems it was to do nothing and wait
Is this the Antique Show?
these stream have been great, thank you guys!
Please don't bring Australia's immigration policy in offshore detention, it's been an unmitigated disaster.
When the Lib Dems formed a coalition with the Tories I said at the time that they needed to deliver at least 1 of scrapping tuition fees or securing proportional representation (or at least AV). Nothing else could make it worthwhile. The battering he took on that shows hpw important it was.
Apart from watching the beard rubbing I’m not sure what the point of this was
It is always a touch ironic when channels devoted to an anti mainstream media mindset { a very reasonable position given their duplicitous part in the eroding of our democracy } . Clearly without any irony take their views on Scotland from the mainstream media with nary a fact check .
The UK has a wide range of political choices, unlike the rather narrow US political spectrum.
Frankly i feel sorry for the lack of progress that the US system allows. Both parties are the same.
Yet Aaron’s moaning about the SNP leader being there
Keef keeps lying …on nationalisation you DoN’T have to pay shareholders at market value. Maybe offer them original price paid at the floats? Being a shareholder means you have zero guarantee on what your shares are worth anyway ..that’s the risk / reward basics !
Nobody's sleeves are more rolled up than English MPs
Why is Sunak using strange American style language when addressing the audience, I’ve seen him doing this a lot lately, calling women “Mam” and talking about how he was “raised” etc… ?
How many people fell asleep during this Question Time? How much did the BBC pay the audience to sit through this…yawn?
Novara does Gogglebox. Would love to see Michael passing Aaron a malted milk next time.
Ed Davies lying about his role in the Post Office scandal. He doesn’t even look genuine. Disgrace.
Lying how ?
It seems to be that Aaron has bit of a dislike to keir starmer where as Michael seemed more reasonable.
Why do yous hate the SNP lol
Isnt it amazing that no matter how much money is put in the nhs it never gets fixed.
No, it´s not amazing as long as you can make it disappear down the drain of outsourcing or privatization wth the excuse of "efficiency or money saving".
NHS is one of a number of issues, but you'd be quite happy to throw more money at infrastructure and roads, education, and military?
@@JoseHernandez-ee6wq Absolutely correct! Speaking as one of many NHS insiders, outsourcing and privatisation by the back door are destroying our NHS. 😠😟
Why are the backgrounds on UK TV studio sets always, always purple?
Aaron you are a legend!
John Sweeney is fucking dull, Stephen Flynn is far superior in these TV interviews
I swesr fiona is putting a different voice on 😂
rishi talking so much bollocks.
39:28 is it just me or do these 2 guys have a distain for Scotland?
Definitely not just you. They didnt try to hide it either
I usually listen to you but I don’t like this iit shows your treating scotland like Westminster treat us
So is someone gonna address the obvious anti SNP bs, on display by you two,so disappointed, but usual London bs
Wow boys you pair made a right arse of this. Drop this format guys. Your childish giggling drowning out important comments by the MPs - particularly during the SNP's John Swinney section was embarrasing.
Ridiculous format Novara, your audience can only listen to one voice at a time. This didn't work at all, very irritating, sarcastic remarks throughout. Hard to watch.
Just get the sense that Rishi is nearing his limit with all the criticism now. That blank smile everytime and audience member is applauded for ripping the tories..
He's had enough. And tbh. I don't blame him.
@@Benjamin.Jamin.how can you NOT blame him???????
dr death has reached his limit? bit late.
Let him waddle off to engage in whatever corrupt money making scheme he does next.
Or we can start to eat the rich 😅✨
I'm looking forward to the day where he just loses it on live TV and starts screaming incoherently.
Totally pissed off with the Aaron clown trying to be funny. Not happy Novara !!
You came across as dismissive and arrogant when Swinney was talking, seemed to ignore or laugh off the applause he got. You also made no attempt to understand things from Scotland's position, or the view of Scottish people. Really poor.
Do they realise that the SNP is actually currently the third largest party in Westminster? As the leader of that party John Swinney was there because they were rightly given their place.
guys, i usually like your coverage and i am a backer of NM but this live reaction format simply doesn't work. we are unable to listen to the debate because you are often discussing minor details.
Agree with other comments here. The SNP have proven themselves as a hugely valuable and more conscientious voice in Westminster than English politicians, and I say this as a southern fairy. It'd be nice for Aaron and Michael to take SNP air time more seriously please.
Yes I agree, as an English man for me that would be the downside of Scottish independence- I like having those MPs having a voice in parliament
Why the anti scottish shit, wtf
Yeah , as an Englishman now living in Scotland I do see the underlying nuances …it seems many English do this unconsciously due to the general culture …even Novara guys …even though I’m with them in vast majority of other issues
@@CheebasonicI am from Birmingham (west midlands) another place with a large population and we get looked down on by everyone, Scots and Londoners included… being neglected is not specific to Scotland and Wales, at least they get a voice
@@jgrovess5378 I’m English and lived in different parts of England (N-E-S & W) for 45 years - and now live in Scotland. I can now see the subconscious attitude to the Scots from even well meaning people. I don’t recall Novara being quite so negative to Birrmigham or Northern England as such ? I’m a big fan of NM btw but these slips need to be called out …
What do you mean? The anti Scottish stuff?
@@herjinderbhatia8285 read the comments
The comment "he's meant to look like someone from a suberb in Dundee" is very patronising to Scottish people. What is that even supposed to mean? Navora just exposed itself as being for smug Islington middle class left wing people
Even if I can't vote for the SNP, I still want to hear what the leader has to say. It's unprofessional bordering on unwatchable to keep speaking over them just because people living in England can't vote for them, and further to that, the tone is just incredibly snide from both men. I hope you actually read the comments and take that into consideration if you REACT to the next Question Time.
Any Scottish people listening to Michael and Aaron will be raging, they looked so bored being forced to listen to the SNP leader, they were rude and childish, very disappointing.
And the English wonder why Scotland wants to leave. Epitomises the English disdain for anything Scottish. If you English folk are so sick of us, let us leave? Like idk what else to tell those people, it's a vestige of the UK empire that English folk, even lefties want to continue. Let us deal with our own affairs, and we won't have to engage in the circus show of English politics.
Yup. They didnt bother trying to hide their distain for us. They have got too confident and are incredibly self-satisfied and smug. Neither have a contrite bone in their body
I honestly am fed up of Scotland Bad that the press push. I want independence for my country. I live in the Highlands ... couldn't be farther removed from London Government. This attitude of these 2 guys is literally why we do not belong in the UK. Get us out!
I think it would be better if you could pause the video as you talk.
They watched it live.
Some of us here in Scotland wanted to hear John Swinney for the SNP but couldn't because Bastani thought he'd just talk through most of it! No need for comparisons either, Stephen Flynn and John Swinney are both admirable leaders in their own way.
Exactly. Bastani showed zero respect to Scotland by his snide comments.
I'm more interested in what Scotlands people have to say about mass immigration. All top down not bottom up political classes. Do as yer told bonny Isle! ❤
Flynn is far left.
He wants more immigration.
Watch the debate on the telly then 🤔
@@maxrandolph6964 well said 👏
Dont agree with Aaron . I thought Davey and Swinney sounded more human.
Have to say I agree. Thought they both were too dismissive of the Scottish perspective
Davey sounded a bit too human, acknowledging nepotism with his wife is working in Kingston because he gave her the job and she is working on the biggest regeneration in Kingston (btw, that’s Cambridge Road Estate)… I think someone needs to audit all of this for corruption 👀
Its the Fiona Bruce show this woman is nothing short off a Tory mouth piece
It's "mouthpiece" actually. One word, and not two.
@@Juliukas101no one cares
She actually annoyed me so much, constantly twisting audience questions instead of letting them answer first
Do i detect an anti Scottish vibe from Novara?
I feel like it's mainly driven by Bastani whereas Michael doesn't care that much either way and thus just ends up going along with it/idly standing by
Not just Novara. Most English are sick of hearing your constant whining.
Many regions of England are massively underfunded and looked down on, yet have huge populations and are economically important to the country. YET unlike the Scots we get no voice and have to listen to them talk about how hard done by they are
@@jgrovess5378Scotland is the second wealthiest part of the UK behind London and the South. Westminster gets all of our annual income and gives us about a third of it back to run our country. Our Government can't borrow, so it has no debt. What's Westminster's excuse
BTY Wales gets the same treatment.
@@stephfoxwell4620let us leave then?
Very poor show Novara...you've managed to alienate pretty much every viewer from Scotland with your complete lack of respect for the SNP part of the show. Are the people of Scotland now 2nd lass citizens in the eyes of Novara ? Just because you yourselves can't vote in Scotland, does that give you the right to ruin the main part of the show that all your Scottish viewers were actaully tuning in for ?
Does Novara want to get rid of all it's support from Scotland ?
Because if not, then you need to start giving some respect (and also spendeing more time on finding out what's really happening in Scotland politically and culturally) Please see my other comments on here to learn more about what I mean here.
why doesn’t scotland vote to leave the UK
@CYeoung
Don’t worry, we plan to
I'm sitting here thinking exactly the same thing, it's put me off Novara completely, I cannot stand arrogance and feel that's what's going here with Michael & Aaron, I doubt very much I'll be tuning in again.
Agree,very disappointed 😮
@@CYeoungBecause they're not being allowed to have a vote about it
Loved John Swinney. Wish he was our PM.
This not Novara comments but annoying disruptions ("double talk" )
Normally a fan of most Novara coverage, but incredibly poor take and comments on Scottish politics. Disappointing.
I agree
So do I
It seems that they consider Swinney to be lacking in any sort of charisma. They’ve made similar comments about Starmer as Infinitum. It didn’t seem to me that it’s any different.
hard agree. for an outlet who's analysis I enjoy on a lot of topics, that section was like watching two sniggering schoolboys. You're meant to be professional journalists, act like it.
I agree, third biggest party deserves a spot. Let down by Aaron on this one
Imagine they were hooked up to a lie detector and asked real questions
Lie detectors don't work
Lie detectors are as reliable as a manifesto...
The problem with all of the BBC election 'debates' is every BBC journalist is rude and unprofessional, interrupting again and again, as though they themselves have the right to question when in fact it should be the audience. Every rude interruption, every journalist-perspective comment makes it almost impossible for the audience, including those trying to watch these, to understand what the candidate represents. Frankly, the BBC should recuse themselves as too incompetent to run the debates. Or else they should refund license fees since they are failing fee payers
Please be more quiet when John Swinney is speaking next time. It was irritating not being able to hear some of his answers.
His little single issue protest group don't deserve parity with the real parties.
@stephfoxwell4620: Shite trolling.
They did feel pretty condescending tbh.
@@MontyCantsin5 shite party.
@@stephfoxwell4620his little party have more MPs in parliament disrespecting Scotland no wonder we want away from the toxicity your putting over
Bastani is really annoying. Aggressive. Oversimplistic. How about acknowledging the challenge candidates face responding to no-win hypotheticals, irrelevant hindsight’s (like the Corbyn question) and Tory press. They all did ok except maybe Sunak.
He's just pissed that he isn't as far along the media-to-politics pipeline as he thought he'd be by now, expect that resentment to flare up at any election that he isn't a candidate at
I disagree with Michael about the libdems, they are playing this whole thing beautifully and yes, I suspect many to the left of this centrist iteration of Labour would very easily vote LibDem based on their left-of-labour positions on a number of issues. In my constituency it pivots between Cons and Libs, the only viable vote is for Libdems anyway in order to keep the Tories out... the fact they are emphasising their left-leaning policies makes voting for them less painful.
You just described me to a tee. My tactical vote is of course Labour, sadly.
For me too, here in Cheadle gonna have to be the lib dems
We might not be able to vote for them, but it’s good to know what’s on offer in other areas. What policies they have, may also work for England.
Congratulations on your barely hidden disdain for Scottish politics. Grow up guys.
Yeah that was very annoying, Swinney also seemed to do get the most applause from the audience yet it was completely ignored by them.
Scotland comprises barely 8% of the UK population and only 57 seats.
@@stephfoxwell4620 And that's an excuse for behaving like a couple of kids whose parents have told them they've to watch the News and not the Muppet Show?
Well SNP disdains the remainder of the UK, so it's mutual.
@AlexColes-wn5jg: What a daft caricature.
Of course insider betting is illegal, for screamingly obvious reasons, why did you say “I’m not sure if it is illegal”? It’s blatant fraud.
Is Aaron the most dislikable person online? Honestly, as a left wing minded person, id rather listen to Mike Graham, than this condescending, arrogant narcissist.
You just don't get it! He wrote a book, that obviously confers intellectual superiority on him!
He does seem to think Mehdi Hasan is a matter of style. Integrity Mate.
I dunno I think he's kinda hot
I like Aaron, even despite that he’s a bit of a concealed anti-LGBTQ and also a proper pro-Arab dude (duuuh, cuz of his ethnicity)..
@@davidcwitkin6729Trust the 🏳️🌈 community to lower everything to sex
Political Sleaze at an all time high. A new revelation every few days. Entitled, dishonest, self-interested slackers and criminals. Apart from that, all is well with British politics.
I still think it's more stable to keep the Tories maybe a bad position to take but reality is labour is not different rather have Tories steering
On the right
"Political Sleaze at an all time high" No, it was worse in 1997 with the tories. People never learn a leopard never changes its spots
@@BlacktoliteReform all the way ❤
@@Blacktolitethe rightward shift in Novara audience in full effect - go so left they go right, just like Russel Brand. Next you'll be saying only the Conservatives respect freedom and liberty...
watching this morning to hear John Swinney on question time, bad enough with Fiona's interuptions then another couple of clowns in the wings with their childish remarks.
I thought Swinney was very interesting. I'd much rather have well thought out policy based conversations than flashy populism bs
Will still watch for Michael as it was clear he disagreed somewhat
Aarons comments about Galloway missed the mark heavily
Not being able to get a student loan (massive debt) unless you did National service, would just be another factor in many deciding not to go to University, and also mean that richer families can just pay for their kids studies and not have to do National Service. Just another increase in the divide between the rich and poor.
Honestly, Rishi was teetering on the edge of fury the whole time. You could see it in his eyes everytime a question put him in a corner.
I do wish you'd not spend much of the time speaking over the questions/responses with petty, playground comments.
You should have just watched question time then!
@@uosdwis-r-dewoh14 exactly what I ended up doing, but not really what I guess Novara set out to achieve?
Oh Aaron. Your Brexiteer is showing. You can’t possibly find Swinney as uncharismatic as the nasal whining of Starmer.
Scotland should be independent!
And be a prisoner of the eu empire?
Agreed, if that’s what they want.
Had there chance
@thefastandthedead1769They have to abide to hundreds of EU rules, when is that independence?
You just gave SNP input one sentence....Swinney got more applause than any other speaker ..why do you think we Scots are tetchy ?
agreed. "more boring than keir starmer" is pretty poor political analysis.
@@whynotbekind definitely, Aaron was sounding like winey child
@faymoproductions8470 I feel like Aaron never gives a balanced view about the SNP. Always comes with vim immediately, its disappointing.
Scotland is only a small part of the country
I used to think Novara Media's coverage of Scottish politics was merely weak and lacking nuance. But they're ultimately just as snide and condescending about Scottish affairs as the mainstream media Novara style themselves as being an alternative to.
Will they pile in behind Starmer's government or give serious examination to Labour's plans for the devolution settlement in Scotland (and Wales)? We'll see.
Keir Starmer's waffling about bidding war on renting pretty much sum him up.
Bastani better never talk about Westminster chauvinism again after this showing
Guessing there won't be any accountability for Tory See You Next Tuesdays like Fiona Bruce and Laura Keunsberg after the election.
OMG can't watch this F. Bruce ,talking about migration and all things part of Tory baseline .What about the real stuff?
Although these are a disappointing collection of question dodgers, I don't think this is the right format for the humourless Aaron. His inner petulant pedantry is showing.
I found him so annoying
@@lukedodson4247 I have a soft spot for Aaron, but I must agree.
As far as I can see, the only major difference in the labour party and the Conservatives pledges is in what they would do if they both managed to get Growth - and the Conservatives would give tax cuts and the labour party would invest in public services but we have no idea really if they’re going to be able to get that Growth or what either of them would do if do not.
Lib dem was just talking about tax on wealth in terms of capital gains of the whealthiest ,and F Bruce quickly brushed that off .Not worth to watch these pantomimes ,could we have some more indipendent, serious ,intelligent people to scrutinise the politicians?
You cant fix the waiting list without increasing spending. Aaron's bias is obvious and to be blunt pathetic. Sounds like he expects money to grow on trees.
I'm voting snp suck it up English media
Me too!
1:46:47 god Sunak is so condescending. He can’t bear being asked questions by the normies can he 😂
The fall in inflation is nothing to do with his policies.
Usually I like to listen to you both as you are a “independent “ media. However you both seem to have a good laugh at “everyone “?
Aaron’s anti SNP / anti Scotland bias is really grating. I love Novara media but I dread their coverage when there’s anything about Scotland because of Aaron. I find the other hosts are less condescending on Scotland. I respected Moya on at least slightly pushing back when they reacted to a debate together last time.
I agree Aaron owes Scotland an apology.Michael is much more refined and fair!
I do think it’s time to relax on the Lib Dem’s a bit. Yes they got the tories in power, but they’ve already talked about regretting that. I’ll be voting for them because it’s the only way to get the tories out. I’d much rather vote green but I can’t under this system
And it's almost 10 years the Lib Dems are no longer in power.

talk is cheap
Did someone piss in Aaron's cornflakes? Thought Ed was ok. Fiona fairly terrible as usual. Worried this co-leader thing is going to be a mess for the greens, having built some recognition with Carla I feel like people will be 'who's this guy' with Adrian
Also I'm not sure what Michael was saying when he suggested the Lib Dems could have formed a coalition with Labour in 2010 and not had austerity.
Even if there were enough MPs between them to form a coalition (which there weren't) Brown didn't want a coalition. And Labour in 2010 were proposing more austerity than the coalition government actually brought in in the end.
carla has been so good in the debates, especially in response to the english nationalist wetherspoons guy.

It literally is a bottomless pit, it’s called deficit spending. It’s not about where the money comes from, it’s about where it’s spent on
It doesn't have to be deficit spending if taxation was rebalanced from taxing workers incomes and consumption to taxing the wealthy and corporations their fair share.
The thing is..... nobody fucking knows this. I'm glad you left this comment. Thank-you
@@jamesparke6252 exactly! Taxation doesn’t fund anything…’taxpayers money’ is a myth. It’s just an inflation control tool to take currency out of circulation
Why was Count Biface excluded from this debate?
You do realise that the SNP is currently the third party in Westminster? As the leader of that party John Swinney was there because they were rightly given their place.
Why does there need to be a mental health care professional in every school? 45 years of neoliberalism. Rishi Sunak - how hilarious - off to California you go.
Because the bible no longer works for brainwashing.
Had Brexit been a success. It would have been used in manifestos and campaigns for generations to come. Now that it isn't we won't talk about brexit but focus on the future. Brexit has everything to do with that future. Good and bad. So yes lets talk about Brexit.
Sanctions for not doing national service, ok have heard enough from this guy......ce la vie. Democracy or Dictatorship ?
Starmer did not answer the audience’s questions. Very bad politician.
This format needs work. If you're just heckling then we can't hear what the leaders are trying to say, if you don't say anything then we're just watching some talking heads.... not talking. Maybe pause it every 5-10 mins to do a quick fire analysis then go again.
Labour a progressive party. Now I’m falling about laughing! More like dinosaurs.
That was probably the most absurd claim made throughout the duration of the programme.
Tuition fees,one question : where is the money going? How come with £ 9000 fees some universities are bankrupt , cutting on teaching stuff,but still building and expanding student accommodations?
Overseas (double) fees propping them up. It’s a cash cow. We have far too many universities and the minute tuition fees came in they all jumped on the band wagon.
As far as where the money goes well mainly on the lecturers and heads. Big fat salaries. Plus I believe some of them have invested which means some will have lost money.
Keir Starmer - pay the hospital staff with what? The Labour Party are committing only marginally more than the tories. Fund defence with what ? The independent analysts have said the funding commitments in The Labour Party manifesto are tiny.
Team rishi
Said absolutely no one
