Congratulations Labour!
You do know that the Labour Party now is not the same as it was?
Labour are LIARS and Corrupt... Dems love that though...
No congratulations about it. The people are fucked. Just like last time labour got in and the time before that and the time before that.
This time will be different tho because the conservatives have already fucked the people. The uk is finished
@@pipster1891 Yes I do.
This expat voted for Labour in the UK, so glad not to be Stateside. Vote Blue in Nov. and save we the people!
Congrats to my British friends & Family. WELL DONE! 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉💪💪💪💪
Starmer's Labour is only going to continue in the same way. Nothing will change and some things will get worse.
@@pipster1891blah blah blah, already things have changed! :)
@@peasofmind9110Well said. Indeed they have already united and began to heal the 4 nations of the UK.
🇬🇧 we voted out the grifters, so can theUS 💙🌊💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Why is the media not reporting on Trump's deal with Saudi Arabia?
They favor the convicted traitorous felon, much to our detriment
The media are controlled by their corrupt owners.
Or his plane on the tarmac next to the Russian plane?
So, just to help you out. It has been reported on in rueters, the NY times, PBS and many more. Just because YOUR news sources are limited doesn't mean it's not reported on.
Not mainstream media doing the right thing 🙄
Lord I hope the US can manage it
Proudly voted Labour yesterday!🎉😊
Thank you! Labour party victory gives hope to us all in Europe
Thank you for showing America how to do it correctly! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
@@AnnaLemos-mv3cq I voted Liberal Democrats because Kier was being so vague about some of his policies, but I've just heard someone who knows him well say that he hates politicians who make promises that they cannot keep which explains a lot about some of the roundabout answers he gives sometimes. Hopefully now he's won he will get on with the job and do it well for the sake of all of us.
I voted SNP the only real opposition there has been to the tories , thankfully by area voted Stephen Flynn back. Liebour as it is just more tories but in red
@@joolsnorth1410 nhs privatisation, austerity just tories in red
HALLELUJAH for the Labor Party ! Bravo Brits !
People have been so much happier this weekend. Trump is very dangerous .
I hope and pray people in the US wise up and vote BLUE!!! No fascism wanted here!
No to fascism!
Save America
Deport Every Illegal
Trump 2024
Don't hope, become proactive.
Lots of Bolshevic bots around here
@@RichardMusoke-rq2xy Is that what you are? I have no idea what a "bolshevic" is. I'm just a good old fashioned American that wants every illegal deported.
@@RichardMusoke-rq2xy What does that even mean?
I trust Joe Biden to do the right thing for the country. He knew he could beat Trump in 2020. I trust his judgement again. He will do what is best for the country, not for himself.
I hope that we can reject conservative obstruction in November as the UK did yesterday. We need a Democratic landslide here
The French rejected the far right too in the second round
In defence of Biden, there's no debating someone whose every utterance is a lie.
There is preparation for debating. And if he felt that there's no debating with Trump he shouldn't agree to it in the first place.
@@dirtyharry1881Are you rationalizing the pathological lying from the guy who claimed to be the chosen and ordained one perhaps Gods most honest creation second only to Jesus? ✳️(Strictly for shamelessly pathic pandering grifting and manipulating purposes.)
@dirtyharry1881 If Trump can't follow the debate rules he shouldn't have accepted, and lying non-stop is not allowed by the rules.
The sane maga if there are any, should be telling convicted felon and rapist, dt to step down from the race as it is leading your country into dictatorship. Wake up !!@@dirtyharry1881
The problem for Biden is that he was mentally incapable of addressing these lies.
I hope that the US follows suit and defeats the GQP this year.
What does Q stand for? Vote blue!
I am a 🇨🇦in the ‘September’ of my life.
I have been a card carrying conservative all my life
I have had a good income all my life
I have paid a lot of income tax, and am happy to do it.
I am a cancer survivor and shudder to think how much my long treatment and recovery cost the Canadian taxpayers🙏 I have been blessed.
After watching the clown show put on by Donald Trump south of our border, I have become a ‘conservative in recovery’ and will vote Liberal in the next election.
I am now a ‘progressive’ and am spreading the word to kids and grand-kids.
Another great post Anthony. Thank you for spreading common sense in America.
God save the king.
🇨🇦 I share a lot of the same sentiments. A drunk driver left my sister quadriplegic, which turned into over a year in hospital and rehabilitation. I’m also terrified of a Conservative Prime Minister; I haven’t forgotten how they have told Canadians to pull themselves up by their bootstraps - or live on your savings…
Wishing you many happy years, full of memories to be made. - A neighbour.🇨🇦
I'm voting for mass deportations
MAGA 2024
Blessings to you.
That you were OK with paying tax puts you against most modern conservatives
It is only being spread to and by those of us who have the intellectual curiosity to understand what is happening. To the people who want to have nothing to do with politics and the maga groups - there isn’t much to be done. I am trying to reach the one’s who are not informed because they hate politics and would not vote at all. I put a lot less energy into the maga low information people. The moment they hit back with trump spewage - i walk away from them.
BIDEN/HARRIS 2024! 💙 SAVE DEMOCRACY!
Harris/________ 2024! SAVE DEMOCRACY!
I'd sooner vote for that dead crab, in that Monty Python sketch, than against Democracy. No way I'd let the wannabe dictator back in the White House. When he last had that office, it was like every other week, he'd do something that would be so bad, he'd stress everybody (who wasn't worshipping him) out. He spent almost all of his time, just campaigning and showboating about, if he wasn't golfing. Every issue, he'd just look like somebody who is trying hard to act like he knows something, but gives out this generic look that tells anybody observant that everything is going over his head.
Then he basically does the equivalent of a less than 5th grader approach to an issue, and just brute forces anything to look "tough" and hammers it through. No thinking, no thought to domestic, or international repercussions. And when things inevitably go to heck, after the find out phase of said decisions, he'd just walk off to the loud sound of a helicopter saying, "I take no responsibility." Every darn time. This is all in Recorded footage, anyone with just a little time can pull up and watch again. He constantly takes credit for what other people did, and every misstep or bad decision he makes, he sudden acts like he had nothing to do with it.
If any horrible virus, arrives, instead of taking the appropriate steps to do anything about it; his first inclination is to see the existence of it, in the first place, as something that would seem like HIS failure. So what does he do? What is his first inclination? To deny its existence. Mr. Perfect would rather try to use his platform, and any media on his side, to simply Sweep it under the rug, while it goes through the country. He just wants to say, "While I'm president, all viruses don't happen." Same for any other catastrophe.
And let's talk about catastrophes. That man was the first President where any federal Help for any state a catastrophe happens to, has to be conditional. If you aren't a state that has a government completely loyal to him, he will not help. A main tenant, written in the resolution of the freakin Declaration of Independence (A government installed for the purpose of all citizens' safety and protection, and happiness) completely ignored. Again, actual easy to find recorded footage of him doing just that. No other president, regardless of party, acted that way. Because they better understood what those documents meant.
@@akaimizu1 I agree 100%. It is so incredibly unbelievable how we have let shit like that get a foothold in our still great country. No matter who does it, we have to defeat this threat!!!
Stop Trump. Nothing more needs to be said.
@@akaimizu1he sat on his ass while the capital was breached. People died!! Why wasn’t he immediately arrested for dereliction of duty?!
Delegator over dictator any day of the week! Love it.👏👏👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊🌊💪💪💪
“Delegator over dictator “ I like that!
I like that too. President Biden is a team player. He is respectful towards people.😊
What a great result.
So happy for Britain.
Even if Joe Biden is deaf, dumb, and blind on election day, he is getting my vote.
but that’s not happening
Yes the president has to have good morals. Pick the president with good morals and there's a clear winner : Biden.
Great. Just realize OUR VOTE DOES NOT MATTER, the Kourt WILL award the office to Trump.
This it is not about Joe but Democracy. Vote blue!
@@thesoundsmithnot if. Down wins by mounting votes
That’s encouraging. Maybe Americans will wake up too.
And maybe looking at this as a perfect example of a peaceful (and dignified) transfer of power.
Hat’s off for that dig from Sunak to convicted felon/rapist GOP current nominee 😂 Hope racist traitor Farage cannot do too much damage! Scary. America’s turn next & let’s hope we don’t choose poorly 🙏🗳️
Great job UK Voters!
Thank you for mentioning the dangers of Nigel Farage. Too many people are listening to him!
Yes he is another trump
Farage is sn embarrassment to humanity !
I despise the snake, this is bad for the UK moving forward. Don't forget his antics at the European parliament. He was a disruptor and an embarassment there.
Thank God the U.K. Did the right thing. America pay attention. Vote Blue!
SCsweettea,
Yes, VOTE BLUE💙Federally and Locally our Democracy and Constitution depend on it!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💕
It took you 14 years. It's like driving until the wheels come off and you crash into a tree and you are thrown out the window, and then saying, thank goodness I got rid of that car!
Corrupt Labour and the Tories were using Labours policies... We have just committed suicide and the U.S. Biden voters should not advise or say anything about anyones politics...
Did Starmers dad make you?
The Democrats are to the Right of the UK Conservatives. The US is a corporate funded and controlled entity.
Ummm. No
We dont wanna be like the UK.
🤡
Nigel Farage is the guy who promised to leave the UK if Brexit didn't work...
He is big trouble!
Farage is as big a liar as his pal Trump.
He's been sucking up to Trump and taking notes of how to follow Putin's game. A dangerous man.
He is another embarrassing, dangerous, pathetic idiot.
Sounds like a familiar lie..
Anthony Davis Thank You. Get better. America needs you. 💙
Excellent! Yay the UK!
Vote Biden/Harris Nov 5th.
Hey, Brits know whats at stake. They fought off the facists in WWII.
I will vote for Biden if they're holding his wake on election day...
Wouldn't it be great if it were tRump instead?
@@starpenta Would be beautiful karma.
Then it'd be K. Harris, Sparky.
Yippee :-) I suffered Thatcher's rein of terror mid 80s. How about the UK grows up and rejoins the EU?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wonder if the Russian influences in the UK today have an interest in keeping Brexit "a thing". Disunity is what they do. Any insights? I think Russian influences in the USA have had a heavy hand in drumming up divisive "culture wars" here. Aided and abetted by corporate media, of course. I hope Americans sober up soon.
That's my hope too x
Democracy balances on the tight rope of miniscule margins - votes matter and the people made the decision - there are so many points in UK history where the outcome was a small margin - but unless you accept the outcome of a democratic referendum with preagreed rules you undermine democracy itself - which at the end of the day is a way of living by preagreed rules which then looks for the idea that gets the most backing. I voted remain, and I lost and I have to accept more people wanted a different idea to me and that must stand
@@kayhardy2871 TBF the right-wing media allowed the British people to be lied to constantly - therefore they were not actually voting on the reality of Brexit. Very unfair and corrupt. I don't believe many would still vote for Brexit now. (There should have been a second vote once we had all the facts)
I hope and pray that voters that voted for Trump in 2016 and/or 2020 do some real soul searching before they vote in November.
I suspect that soul searching is beyond their ability. Unfortunately.
They're soulless
@@judithwake2757Exactly my thought, Drumpf voters are brain dead.
It’s not going to happen however all we need to do is outvote them!!
They won't. They don't have a soul to search. MAGA are people who abandoned their soul just like they abandoned their country.
One man came off a golf course. The other returned recently from a lengthy trip to Europe. One man gish galloped and avoided answering questions and the other was thrown off balance. You can't call that a debate!
And on the hypocritical and corrupt T(rump)NN of all places !
Kurt Cobain said it's the best: The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.
sadly, most young people don't vote
I hope that Americans are as smart as the Brits.
We are not as smart as Brits. Our educational system has been decimated by Christo-fascist factions.
But Great Britain doesn't have a Fox spewing non-stop lies.
Sadly...I don't believe they are, overall. Education in the US has been neglected and underfunded for decades.
The Brits have a better education system!
DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!!
Agreed Anthony, Farage is bad bad news!
YES WE CAN,AND WILL!!! 💙 all the way!!
Stop Trump.

@imperialmotoring3789 be careful what you wish for. If you're not one of the ultra-wealthy, there's no place for you in that world.
@@bluelady549 A lot of people just think it will mean "no gays." To some, that's terrifying enough, but people who support that need to look at what comes next.
So grateful for Britain saying a loud "NO" to conservatism/ extremism. Long live Great Britian. Congratulations on a win for humanity.
A message to France.
Putin wants Le Pen.
Perhaps ... do we dare hope that Americans will likewise be as intelligent - voting their best interest - when it's their turn in November?
I think there is a kneejerk repulsion on the part of MAGA to anything "foreign". We know those people will freak out because the "libs stole England!" They don't have a clue what Liberal means in the context of British politics. They're just angry about anything with the dreaded L word adjacent to it. Smart and sensible Americans should take cheer from this Labour victory, however.
I’m here, sick to my gut we’ve got to get it right Biden 2024! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
I hope we can.
Get well soon Anthony!
Can America reject corrupt conservatism as Britain just did? Yes, we the people that know that we need to vote out all republicans in November. Or this republic will be gone.
OMG! I am so happy for Britain. We are supposed to help our people, not take, take, take, lie, cheat. So many countries have gone through what the US is now experiencing, why can't our republicans see it? Thank you for reporting truth
Speaking of having one's head on backwards..someone should point out to Trump, who is not known for his historical knowledge or let's face it, any kind of knowledge at all, that Kings often have their heads removed despite their golf handicaps.
For real.
As do tyrants such as Saddam Houssain and Khadaffi.
@@IngeDemmendaal Do we know what their golf handicaps were??....lots of sand traps out where they were.
Thank you for this excellent and wise take on the crises we are facing. Vote for Joe Biden. Vote Blue up and down the ticket. Congratulations UK! Let’s go Democracy! And Let’s go Labor Union!
Thanks for spreading the word, Anthony! Happy Britain made the right choice, and I hope the US does, too. Vote Blue! 💙
As an American, who lived in London for four years, I can tell you that your voice in America is extremely compelling
and important, at this moment in time. Thank you, Anthony Davis.
The worry now is the reform party ( fascist) now in Parliament.
From Canada: Congrats for finally doing the right thing, UK! Hopefully the US can do the same; fingers crossed.
Being a Dutch guy I was extremely joyful with the outcome of the UK elections. At last, a European country where the (far) right was shattered. I am hopeful that the US will follow this development.
Isn't it ironic? Countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand still are part of the British Commonwealth, all 3 stable democracies where there is no universal right to bear arms nor to defame everybody without fear of consequences. Isn’t it ironic that in the Commonwealth countries sanity prevails while the country, so proud to have seceded from the British crown, is standing at the door of autocracy, chaos, violence and unbridled malignant rule by a dictator. And, of course, GB has a solid democracy! Congratualtions! Still wish you were back in the EU. We miss you!
Simply put, too many Americans still behaving like cowboys, hillbillies and rednecks, and even more of them worship the Almighty Dollar over humanity and the environment !
@Braisin -Raisin You have said that so perfectly. It's how I feel but it I were to write it down I would have used too many words and bored everyone. 😊 Thank you for the congratulations. You're not the only one who wishes we were back in the EU. If a vote was taken now it would be the opposite result. Funny fact is that an awful lot of people think that because we are out of the Union that we are not part of Europe any more. So I just say our little island floats along going from one continent to another. Thanks again.Take care.✌

Wonderful news for our neighbors in the UK! So happy for you! ❤️🇬🇧
Why on earth did you go and live in that crazy country of the USA
If I could not live in Canada, the U.S. would be the last place I would choose to live
I spent in total 3 years in the US in various States. Had a 10 year visa.
The USA is physically stunning but too many people were crazy, very religious, unworldly, and none to bright. Could have emigrated but chose to not even renew my visa..
Yeah, being Scandinavian I laughed, when Trump said, he wanted more immigrant from Norway and none from s-hole countries. To us, the US is a s-hole country, why would we give up everything, we have, to live in a country of racism, hate and violence and be eternally terrified, that we get sick or shot or whatever and bankrupted by hospital bills? To mention but the headlines. Extremely few ppl from here goes to live in the US, and its usually due to special studies or needed for work.
Imo, only desperate ppl actually want to live in the US, theyre the only 1s left, who actually see a better life there. And they usually dont know, what the US has turned into over the decades.
Australia currently has a labour government after many years of the conservatives being in power. The conservatives did what conservatives do. Climate denial, tax breaks for the rich, pork barrelling, economic mismanagement, treating the poor and vulnerable as economic liabilities rather than human beings, funding private schools to the tune of millions whilst under funding public schools, under funding hospitals, etc. I wish I could say that Labour were turning things around. So far, it's much of the same. Not quite so bad, but not a lot better.
Yes, but like in the UK when we the people vote them out, they will comply. Just as a true democracy does.
@@markbennett-ms1kv I agree. But I do worry that what conservatives are doing in the US is seeping into Australian conservative culture. Indeed I believe that US conservatives sort to influence the recent referendum here. Conservatives here, like in the US, label things they don't like as 'woke'. Conservatives are more likely to be misleading and deceptive. Conservative voters, of which there are many, are more easily brainwashed.
the tories here are going to continue a lot of the worst of the tories and pivatise the health service
The UK uses Labour, it’s Labor Party here in Australia 🇦🇺🤗
@@__SummerRose 😅 Thanks. I'm forever correcting myself when I miss type it.
In the U.K., you are very fortunate that you're not subjected of being bombarded with political ads 12-18 months before an election, and it seems within the past 8 years, American citizens haven't had a reprieve from politics. Which is part of the reason for the toxicity. Every aspect of our lives is being politicized and weaponized against its own citizens.
Imagine, living in a country where the wealthy have convinced half the country, that it is wrong for the government to work on their behalf? It's insane!
As for government/corporate corruption, that's pretty much any day that ends in "Y" in this country. Hopefully, we're able to right this ship.
My friends in the UK voted Labour! Congrats to all of you!
Congratulations UK ! I hope America can do the same.
I'm a Brit living in the US since 2009, within couple of years of living here I could see that it was a country in decline. Afraid I fear the worst nut am hoping for the best.
Pleased that my country finally rejected Tory misrule although it did take some extreme and clownish abuses of power and lying for them to do this.
Let us Hope that Labours Victory, will help to inspire Americans to vote against Trump and the MAGA Cult.
I am so happy that Labour Won!! Congratulations!!❤❤❤❤
I am so proud of our country the United Kingdom. Power was handed over to the opposition in the most gracious way. Whatever your views and believe me there are many in this country at least we are civil and didn’t act like barbarians over politics an example to the United States to act in a decent way not the Trump way !
I am a Canadian Anglo-saxon male.
It has always been in our DNA when voting, to select the party that is best for the greater good; even though that party may not be best for me personally.
It is a principle that must be abided by in a sane democracy.
Somehow that principle has evaded many of our American cousins.
US is shortsighted.
Thanks Anthony. I agree with you regarding what Trump and SCOTUS will do if he loses. Surely Joe Biden needs to add members to SCOTUS now as a matter of urgency, but there's no sign of him doing so.....
Not that simple. We would need a bigger majority in the Senate and a majority in the House to expand the court. That:s why it:s so important to vote blue all down the ballot.
@@nmandowa In April 2017, the Senate changed this rule and lowered the required votes to 51 to end debate on Supreme Court nominations (this is commonly known as "the nuclear option").
Well Biden has Presidential Immunity now so he can investigate all the Trump appointed Judges with regards to their lying when taking up Office, plus rule that gifts while in office are unacceptable.
Woohoo!! Congratulations to the UK! I'm so happy!!!!
USA people would do well to pay attention to Richi Sunaks speech this morning when he conceded to Keir Starmer in a very respectful and peaceful manner and actually apologised to the people of Britain. Then he stepped down as leader of the Conservative Party....watch and learn. But I guess the people watching Anthony's videos know this already...👍🇮🇪
America if you feel the need to elect someone for the position of KING, why not pick a decent person someone with high moral fibre, someone who is intelligent, someone who is not a crook ,you really can do better than old Donny bone spurs.
More power to you Anthony! You are so eloquent and nail it so well each time. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Anthony, and Congratulations to the U.K. On choosing the people over oligarchy!👍
Keep putting out your message at every opportunity, Anthony. Every American needs to hear you. Vote Blue. 💙💙💙💙
❤🌹🇩🇰 vote blue💙
Thank you for saying this and making the comparison as a warning. ❤👏👏👏👏
We love you Anthony! Why don’t you run for office? Any office? Your brilliance is needed!
Thank you for all you do, Anthony. You are a voice of reason in a nation that more and resembles an asylum !
Well done UK. The great British culture wins again. The public are smart here.
Vote blue! Vote blue! Vote blue!
Now we know why Trump plane, Putins plane and Saudis plane all parked next to each other on the tarmac.
They were throwing that in our faces! We won't stand for it! ❤️🇺🇸
Congrats to the people of Britain!
American reporters are treating this like a reality as well. They are only interested in ratings and not caring about how it will affect them as well,😭
Thank you, Anthony, for stating the necessary. Although I voted Green for the first time, I'm heartened to see that Labour has vanquished the Conservatives in Westminster. Hope that you're out of the Covid Woods soon & have no lingering effects from it.
This is what I fear the most the Supreme court reversing the vote.
A MAJOR landslide would be much harder to mess with. We need major blue wins across the states.
Living in the UK, this is the first time in 8 years we've heard some good news out of politics. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope you were able to vote Anthony. You deserve joy!
Outstanding commentary, Anthony. I'm thrilled for the UK. Thank you for connecting the dots to the US and the crossroads looming ahead. Your message is clear and vital. Best wishes for a quick recovery and a happy family event.
The Electoral College is what matters...😢😢
Good message, Anthony. Congratulations on the Labor Party victory.
I am so glad for the UK 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I really like how well you explain whats going on behind the scenes of todays governments. Well done!!
I didn’t think Barron looked depressed, I really thought he looked more autistic. Was surprised to see him with his ‘father’, I’m using that word loosely! I hope that poor kid can come out like Mary Trump, a real, productive human being. 🙏🙏🙏
When birds of a feather flock together it’s not easy to break away, when that’s the life you’re used too, ESPECIALLY when the life of the super rich and now powerful! Sorry I don’t see Barron giving that up, but I do feel he will go “where” Melania goes, but she won’t wander far. Just my thoughts 😕
Unfortunately Barron has already been implicated w/a $300million crypto scam.
There was a news bit about Barron being involved in a crypto scam. The apple didn't fall far from the tree, don't feel sorry for him. He's a horror just like his father. Ask his nannies!
Congratulations goes out to the people😊. Conservative party in both countries needs to go.😊.
I love that you call the Labour Party a fundamental part of British culture. I love my British friends who left the UK for its classism but who would be better under Labour.
Being Scandinavian I still a lot of problems in the UK left over from the strict class division times/imperial times. But I understand, that there is a push to get Labour to change the election system to proportional representation, that the vast majority of Labour MPs are actually in favor, but they need a proper public mandate to do it. Hopefully our British friends can mount up enough public support from outside the Labour, that Labour will make it a manifesto promise for the next election. (In the UK, to make such radical changes they need either a referendum (which until the last few years they almost never did), or the government needs a mandate by being elected with it as part of their election manifesto).
thanks everybody for staying in this fight! Anthony, your heart is showing!
I'm happy for UK.Let healing begin ♥️
Bout time...
Congratulations to you and yours Mr. Davis.
Thanks for clarifying this, Anthony. Heartening news! Hope you’re 100% soon and can attend the wedding.
Its great to hear that at least one nation has turned away from autocracy and the insane conservative movement worldwide. Hopefully we Americans vote to continue our Democracy in November!
Here in the US, we have neither a Labor, or Progressive Party. We have conservative, or conservative lite.
You really get it, Anthony! I hope people heed your advice 🙏
Well said Anthony. I'm in Scotland, unfortunately, we had to resurrect the festering carcass, of "Scottish Labour", to do our part. But the relief is exquisite.
