- After The Conservatives lost over 400 seats in the May local elections Labour leader Keir Starmer says Rishi Sunak should call a general election.
However The Conservatives are not acknowledging the election results as a loss - so Carol Vorderman is trying to illustrate exactly what happened in the local election and asking callers if they believe it's time for a general election.

I'm astonished they ONLY lost half their seats. Who is still voting for these clowns?
champagne socialists and family members.
People who should never be allowed to vote lol
Just like theres a minimum voting age, there should be a maximum one (say 65) and a system like Australia's where its mandatory to vote rather than just disconnect and let the far left and right idealogues determine the future of the country rather than the mass of people who haven't radicalized themselves to destroy the country.
Yes exactly....who on earth is voting for the shambolic Tories.
@@zybch Voting in In Australia. All citizens over the age of 18 are registered to vote and it is compulsory to present yourself at the polling stations at Council elections, State elections and Federal Elections. You give your name and address, it is crossed through and ballot papers are given to you. From this point compulsory voting ends. You can vote or not vote for candidates and simply slip your folded ballot paper or papers into a ballot box. Not voting is called the 'donkey vote' and has no consequences. Having said all this, most people, once at the Polling Stations, do vote. Older people? Important that they vote. It's called 'Grey Power'.
Tories know they're toast, but they'll drag it out to the bitter end to keep their snouts in the trough. Never Again!
@Truth Don't be so naive. Where there's a trough...there'll be snouts!
Anybody who doesn’t want a repeat, will need to act to make it so. That means changing laws, rules and procedures to strengthen checks and balances.
And probably shredding a lot of paperwork
The longer they stay in power and pish the general public off the higher the chance of them ever being elected for a generation.
Its not THEIR snouts in the troughs. Its the wealthy elites and 'lords' pulling the strings (and they'll do the same when Labour gets in) that this disastrous period has been orchestrated and benefited by. Get rid of the ridiculous 'first past the post' election system and you'd go a LONG way to making the system representative of the will of the people, not the shadowy figures currently ensconced as puppet masters.
It's not a catastrophe, it's Justice. 14 years of broken promises, rising national debit, higher taxes, underfunded public services etc. etc. voters have had enough.
@kevin And a catastrophic lockdown which cost the country billions...and the poorest will always suffer the most when the country is in debt!
😅. The first thing Labour are going to do, is borrow trillions. They aren't even hiding it. Wonder if we have paid off the Iraq war they started on a massive lie. Go have a look what it cost the UK.
@@chatham43they tried ro be smart pretending the lockdown was not needed and they could do better than other countries messed up and now we paying for it.
The catastrophe will continue when Labour comes to power.
History tells you this to be a fact.
@@trytellingthetruth.2068 If you'd like to produce some evidence to support your claim I'd be delighted to see it.
This lady has said more in a minute than any politicians in 14 years
They want you to be kept so misinformed, it makes you easier to manipulate.
Being 58, I've seen this country go down hill since the Tories have been in power.
I turned 58 last month on 23rd April. I was born on St George's day. In 1966. I agree with you that this country has gone down hill since the tories have been in power. Last Thursday, 2nd may, i voted for the first time in my life and i voted Labour.
42 here and agree
Absolutely correct this country is a total shambles.....Election Now.
I have no confidence in any of them.
@ladygaynor16 you're part of the problem. 57 years old before you voted..
Q: How many tories does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None. They'll say they've changed it and the media will tell us how bright it is, while we all sit in the dark
The answer is that they will give billions to a company with links to Tory MP’s. That company won’t do their job and we’ll still be in the dark and the Tories will go on the media say that they have invested money into the issue and the plan is working. And then go onto blame people on benefits.
The plan is working. Here are some facts to prove it:
- The wealth of the UK’s billionaires has skyrocketed by over 1000% between 1990 and 2022, ballooning by around £600bn.
- The number of billionaires exploded from 15 in 1990 to 177 this year.
- Between 2020 and 2022 alone, billionaire wealth increased by almost £150bn.
It you've supported this lot ever, you're either a billionaire, a future billionaire, or an idiot. You've had 14 years to find out which one of those you are.
I like Carol.
I like Sangita
Glad to have kept Carol and her passionate desire for the removal of the Tories. Wish we’d kept Sangita for her passion too. Disgraceful of LBC to silence her for her criticism of a rogue state

@@captricharddee3634 but I can choose to listen to their station or not, so what is your point? If people turn off the radio then it will just be Boris’s sister left, shouting into the void…
The Tories are leaving the economy so bad just to say "look, Labour didn't do any better." They would rather sink the ship than let someone competent take over.
I love Carol's description, pull no punches 😂
Self inflicted. Their plan has always been to take money out of the economy and put into the hands of big business, themselves and their cronies
@Ruach And even if that's not true..it should be!!
Lineker got plenty of flack for speaking out.
That was the Labour robb the poor while you preach them words they wanted to hear, while they lived in luxury.

Vile woman she was, bitter and nasty
A recent poll showed that the 65+ age group are STILL supporting the Tories with a 6 point lead in that group. As a boomer, who has never voted for the Tories, I feel like I should apologise for the way my generation has been responsible for keeping this evil party in power for so long. On a positive note, the boomer generation will get smaller over time and hopefully their demise will also see the Tories lose the boomer working class vote and stop them from ever returning to power.
imagine a local election; with "First Past the Post"
Constuiency No. 1
candidate A; 2 votes; elected to be a local council member
candidate B; 1 vote
candidate C; 1 vote
candidate D; 1 vote
candidate E; 1 vote
spoiled: 1 000 votes
not participated: 2 000 possible electors
If Sunak has any respect for the will of the people, he should either resign or even better, call an election. We, as a majority, do not want to tories to continue wrecking our country. On education, my daughter-in-law is trying to set up a new department in a new school, with very small budget for the Summer term. No funding for furniture on the horizon, no materials, nothing. She is in despair - what should have been a dream position is turning into a stress fill disaster that she will have to rescue with her own money.
If she uses her own money she is a fool then.
Only way to get more is to refuse to bail out whatever it is that's failing.
@@deanrogers8381I agree but - Kids education is more important to her.
@@orchidhouse297
Thing is, this 'poster' doesn't actually state what kind of dept she is trying to set up.
It may be some out of the way sideline diversity dept which may benefit a few but not the majority.
And if that is the case then TBH the money may well be better spent on other depts which benefit more.
@@deanrogers8381 Teacher here: yes but. I too used my own money, and I resented it VERY MUCH, but just like the nurses, we are dealing with people even more vulnerable than us (patients, students), and we do it for them.
@@deanrogers8381 If a school has been authorised to set up a dept, it has to be funded. Your comment is offensive.

@@andyb.5268
You are right ....but most of those celebs come from poor and working class backgrounds and they know people from those backgrounds therefore they should have some morals & speak out for what is right Against corruption and injustice
It's money. High tax band vote cons through historic fear of labour hike tax for them. They can afford private health. They own property for rent. They offshore for tax loopholes.
But according the Sunak, it's a 'sign' that they have to go harder right wing!
I personally believe he is either deluded or doesn't care.
Or, most obviously, a public school education masking a limited intelligence. Rees-Mogg being the most obvious example.
They are not right wing, that is their problem. They Are very similar to labour in policy and have been from the camoron years onwards. Even Boris wasn't regarded as right wing, but people went along for the Brexit ride and he had charisma. Something that starbot is completely untroubled by.
Burnham was responsible for the north staffs hospital scandal, remember that.
Sunak views the ordinary citizen as abhorrent & to be treated with contempt.

The Labour party has got a horrific job on their hands and I don't think the majority of the voting public has the patience to let them try and rectify the issues at hand. Scary times ahead.
THE TORYS DID A SCORDthe torys have done a scorched earth policy since 2010, universal credit, etc etc, making the ground almost impossible for labour so they can crow when labour can't sort it in one term. this is deliberate.
Labour should consider regular 'State of the Nation' broadcasts. Keep the people in the loop, for a change.
You’re truly brilliant - the best no-nonsense summing up I’ve ever heard.
Join the Labour Party and help get this country back on track
I and thousands of others left when the LFI Starmer lied to become leader.
Join the Lib Dems. I switched to them and it's the best thing I ever did.
@MrHistorian1og like they did such a wonderful job when they were in coalition. Not
Keep going Carol the campaign appears to be working
According to Mark Harper it was an endorsement that "the people" want the tories to carry on with their program. I wondered what delusional may look like, and there it is in the harsh light of day.
Sunak is waiting for his Indian deal to make his father in law happy and they are a lot 🤑 richer, disgraceful!
General Election now 🙏
Magnificent results, I simply have loved this slide into the abyss that the tories (not worth a capital t) are sliding irrevocably into. How anyone could think that they have even the minutest of chances in the GE, then they are utterly and completely deluded. This could well be the very last time that we see a tory majority government in the country, and that is an excellent thought. PR has to be in place if not during the first Labour term in power this time around, then certainly it should be the bedrock of their manifesto for their second term in office.
You think Labour will stick to any manifesto they come up with? In 1997, Blair said if Labour win they wouldn't put up taxes, but he didn't say Labour wouldn't put up indirect taxes, which they did.
Love this woman, she says what we are all thinking and has no filter!
Rishi Sunak's doing his best impression of the one legged knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail. "It's a Flesh Wound!"
YES, very aptly out. I was thinking this after the final results. Even when both arms and legs are chopped off the knight still saying it's a flesh wound and eager to fight 😂😂😂😂😂
More like the one legged football match.
We could show the vid to Sunak but irony would be lost on him.
He's been a very naughty boy.

See you guys have learned your lesson about Tories, the British equivalent of the US Republican Party. If Brexit didn’t show you the bankruptcy of Tories economics, nothing will.
The plan is definitely working, but it’s a plan for themselves, to line the pockets of themselves and their friends and donors.
@Timbex And even if you made that up...you shouldn't have to...because they are evil tories!
@@chatham43is this the same chatham who used to be a staunch tory??

Wrong immigration is a big problem in uk country swamped with people nobody wants shocking Tories and labour brutal wrecked country
That's another one you've fallen for. They are asylum seekers, they can't be illegal until they've been processed by the immigration system. Which the Tories have ruined. You would want the law to protect you if you were in the unfortunate position of needing it.

The audacity that LBC replaced Sangita, with a clown 🤡. Shame on LBC.
Give peace a chance, call a General Election now.
"The plan is working".
They have a plan?
They do. To take us out of the ECHR. Then the wealthy can exploit the population.
The thing that amazes me is there are still thousands of people who voted Tory. OK many more thousand voted Labour or Lib Dem, but still they've come third because some people are still voting Tory. How can anyone vote Tory.
Not rational eh? but then you might ask how could anyone have voted for Brexit? Reading trash like the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, the Express and the Sun or tuning into GB News, or listening to Boris Johnson, Tim Martin, Michael Gove, Dominic Cummings, Nigel Farage or Jacob Rees-Mogg and actually believing what they have to say might have something to do with it maybe?
Different views and priorities…
Very simple to understand…
The same way people vote for khan. Because they are deluded and labour are no better. Politics is in a shocking state, the worst I’ve seen it in 40 yrs.
@@eddiecalderone Very simple - like all the practical issues and implications of voting to exit the EU perhaps?
@@truthtotell7583
Yes of course, there’s been a number of issues with being a member of the eu, and clearly many problems lined up if we remained a member state of the eu, especially with the political path the eu is taking.
On the other hand, leaving the eu has also positive outcomes for the U.K. and its citizens.
Again it depends on priorities, some people complain about Brexit because freedom of movement in the eu is not as easy as before. I have a different view, eu freedom of movement is a godsend for the ill intentioned.
Again it depends on priorities.

Radio Presenter of the year in 2023, Sangita Myska was replaced/sacked soon after expressing her views on Israeli/Hamas war.
The owners of LBC I understand are Jewish and LBC have replaced her with an intellectual lightweight, in Vanessa Feltz, who is also Jewish.
The optics of this look terrible.

The plan IS working. Sunak is a fifth columnist for the Labour Party, inserted covertly into the Tory party years ago to bring about their eventual destruction. He's doing a brilliant job for Labour, way beyond all expectations. The Tories may or may not know this, but true to form, they all really don't give a toss about anybody or anything, except themselves - I'm all right, Jack! Go Rishi!!
There isn’t even a Tory plan
There is. Deal contracts to businesses that will give them nothing jobs for big cash when they are 'jobless'.
As the thick fog of hubris is lifting, they can't believe the landscape that they see before them.
Not only 14 year of underfunded public service but public services taken away. Dentists..where are they? I can’t find one anywhere and not seen a dentist in 4yrs!
Yeah, Andy Burnham, and Tracy Brabin!!!!

Sunak is so arrogant, he will never change his strategy. Keep doing it Rishi Soonsacked. You’re out. On your ar*e come the GE.
Be careful. I'm no fan of Tories, but don't think for a second that Starmer's Labour will be much different. When this weird version of Labour wins the election expect more of the same. British politics is fundamentally broken. We need more than a change of management team to make any significant difference to the lives of ordinary British people. smh
As you say, it,s a total catastrophe for the Tories, but all the television stations won't say so.Sunak will hang on to the latest possible date. All Conservative M.P.,s will be scared stiff of losing their seats.
It is not a catastrophe. They still got 25% of the vote. Who is still voting for them? Ffs
Webb getting in on 17.5% is the real joke.
We said it loud and we said it clear. Now give us a GE.
