What a relief to see that competent grown ups are now in charge. Really happy that Starmer said country first, party second and he's proving it.

Government appointment based on competence and expertise, what a strange idea
@@shopjompoo4798 Unelected.
Weird, isn't it. I thought the old boys network put their incompetent pals in jobs like these, not people that know exactly what they are doing?
Are you thinking of our new Foreign Secretary?
Right? I mean the amount of ministers under the Tories appointed with no skill whatsoever in the task they had on their hands is just baffling.
@@CrappyProducts A lot of Conservative ministers got removed because they wanted to implement policies which the politicised civil service didn't. So the civil servants had them removed. Now, with Sue Gray in charge, we've got government of the civil service, by the civil service, for the civil service.
It is SO refreshing to to hear people, including yourself, speak with positivity and confidence about the political future. Much needed, Thank you Prof.
I agree. There were hundreds of videos against the Tories, and I could only sympathise, as I do think they have caused this country huge damage, and I was desperate to see their government go. But we now have hope. The new government may not deliver, but for now we have hope. However, already many sites are knocking them down, even after 2 days in office. For goodness sake, give them a chance, or is simply knocking people down, whoever they are, what they live for? Society is built up on constructive criticism, not destructive.
Absolutely….im sick of hearing ‘Labour won a landslide….but’. They bloody won😅
After 4 days, you are easily pleased, hope you are not disappointed later on.
@@michaelcannon3172 c’mon can’t be any worse than the Tories 😅
It's a simple concept, get good people around you. Something the last few Conservative leaders have failed to do because of their own insecurities. Well done Kier.
Wait and see how Labour perform, it won't be long before we want Labour to go.
@@Barbarapape WE? who is WE?
We've had too many years of appointment of incompetent sycophants rather than people who know what they are doing.
There is Sooo much damage to be undone.
@@leaguefan7640 WE are the ones that suffered under the Conservatives

It was pure cronyism
Difficult to find appropriate words for such blatant incompetence in government with the tories.
Don't worry, you'll soon find them with Labour incompetence.

@@cdeford2 You said this a few days after the 14 years of conservative shambolic government that showed nothing but incompetence throughout its tenure came to an end. The irony.
@@wonderingworld119 I have a long memory of these people and Labour in general. They are at the root of most of the problems plaguing this country. The dissolution that started under Blair ended up infecting the Tories as well.
Maladministration is a word I have frequently used regarding the Tories.
All those times Sunak said Starmer hadnt got a plan, well he got that wrong didnt he? Starmer has been working on his Plan for months.
Sunak was projecting as usual
This is precisely the type of dull and boring I was hoping Starmer would deliver as PM.
I am feeling optimistic in the first time in over a decade 🙌🙌👏🙏🏽
I was really pleased to see Timpson appointed, it is a good start.
What , someone we didn't elect?
@@stephfoxwell4620 we elected the person who appointed him, he's answerable to people we elected. Do you think everything is government is done directly by people we elected?
@@edmurth No. We have a Civil Service for that.
This is a Government Minister.
@@stephfoxwell4620 I'm well aware of that but I'm not opposed to having experts in specific areas appointed by people we elected. Out of interest who do you think it is that appoints senior members of the civil service?
We elect local MPs. That’s it. We don’t elect ministers never have.
I leave the rights and wrongs to one side.
We don’t elect ministers, it’s that simple. Some people vote for who they want to be PM. It’s mistaken under this system but they do. I don’t think there is a significant percentage of the population who voted on who is going to be the prison minister, irrespective of whether that was recognised or not.
Imagine putting experts in their respective fields in charge. Unbelievable.
I know they've got their work cut out for them but as a regular person it definitely feels a relief to have grown ups in government for a change.
Davos should never come before the will of the people.

You've not researched kier starmer have you? He is more dishonest than sunak or Johnston, his affiliation to Islam will be this country's downfall. Less than 1% personal approval rating, he is a snake and frankly a traitor. He will be a terrible PM. Watch this space

Too early to say, i have lived through all the labour governments since Harold Wilson, They have never been on the side of the working man, It will end in tears as normal.
As an irishman I agree 1000%
I have to say, it’s only been a few days but I already feel like we finally have adults in charge.
And this is the thing. When they were like "but no one is excited for Starmer!". Good. I don't want my PM to be exciting. I don't want them to be "a character". I want them to be an adult who can run the country competently.

How dare they?! Give people positions when they know what they are doing? What on earth are they thinking?! First time in years I’ve felt hopeful and yes definitely agree about Rory Stewart
After the nuttiness, dangerous nuttiness of political rhetoric in the last two decades it is reassuring to hear the possibility of people in government who know their stuff and care.
After BoJo appointed Braverman as Attorney General, it was open-season on morals, reason and legality in government. It is good to see Starmer putting the legality of government at arms length from government.
There is something wrong with the legal profession if a clown like Braverman can rise to being a KC. Mind you, there are other questionable KCs that advised the Pist Office.

Thanks for the laugh alun. Dead right.
It's a radical policy to try out, giving jobs to people who are qualified and hard-working. Not the British way at all, but at this point there is little to lose.
Mr Timpson is a very good choice, He is always worth listening too and down to earth
The maturity with which the Government is now being run is a breath of fresh air. Finally we have proper politicians. Hopefully they can restore faith in people and what Government can do.
Good to hear we need less prisons more intervention and rehabilitation! More support ! Tackle the drug pandemic unemployment, youths falling through the cracks because academy schools doesn't care about the underachievers! Time for change ❤
Agreed. Communities are suffering at a local level because the basic issues have not been addressed.
It's brilliant to have adults back at the helm. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
It is ridiculous. We didn't get where we are today by appointing people with integrity and skill :D
😂
I imagine not CJ.
Hi CJ!!...
Lol, only just got the CJ reference...
Indeed! Whatever happened to outright Incompetence and ignorance?!
I almost cried when Vallance was appointed, the restraint with which he held his nerve through covid, standing next to the babbling psychoclown. I don't think we've really understood yet what the country did last Thursday.
@sugarfree. Great comment & same feelings here. Covid enquiry, Vallance’s diaries proved without doubt the Total incompetence of Clownjohnson
Really? He went along with Johnson’s madcap herd immunity theory and was filmed advocating 65% of the British population should be infected with a killer pathogen! It wasn’t until this utter stupidity was highlighted as catastrophic he backtracked claiming erroneously that he meant in the context of a vaccine.
Vallance and also Timpson. Very sensible appointments.
We've voted to replace popular sovereignty with rule by judges, civil servants, quangos, technocrats and NGOs.
Valance was for Herd Immunity
The Tories were second rate people in first rate jobs doing third rate work
adults running the nation does feel nice
Best wishes from Denmark with politics for the people
It already feels like a sea change is happening since Starmer and Labour came in. I feel confident that under Sir Keir’s leadership we will get back to proper grown up government where the interests of ordinary people are placed front and centre, instead of the continual in-fighting, oneupmanship, and blatant self-interest of recent Tory years.
I think the appropriate phrase for Braverman and co etc is ‘ambition outstripping talent’
I have to say that I have watched and listened to you for six months. I have found you to be a clear and direct speaker with a straightforward approach and attitude. I appreciate a clear and sympathetic view without bias and with such empathy. Thanks for compassion and honesty at a time when it was needed the most.
Timson has wonderful conditions for his employees. It shows you don’t have to grind people down to run a profitable business.
This is something of a novelty putting people in government jobs who know what they are doing. Gives us a bit of hope.

Thank Goodness for 'CHANGE' Keir Starmer and Labour has a massive job on their hands...but he has made a great start, let us hope it continues.
An excellent move by the new PM. Rory Stewart would make an excellent addition to the three experts. We need very clever pragmatic people in government.

I’m so thrilled to see a new Labour government after such a very long time.
However they got in, the Prime Minister has shown what a Prime Minister should be. Getting the right people for the right job! Serving our country, not looking for opportunities to make money! Thank you for your interesting thought's.
NOTE : lePen pushed to third place. Thank you, France, for choosing centre left !!!
Read some of the testimonies of French women living in fear due to immigrants overrunning the place with crime. I don't think they're happy to see yet more of it under Macron.
I'm very pleased you mentioned Rory Stewart as prisons minister. His account of that in his book is fascinating if quite depressing. Was also reminded that Private Eye was calling Therese Coffey "Nellie the Effluent".
Nellie the effluent, that's genius 🤣
We now have a breath of fresh air politically, which is what this country has been crying out for. The grown ups are now back in the room, and maybe we can get on with the business of getting this country back on track and back on it's feet. People need to realise that there are some decisions ahead that are not going to be popular but have to be made. Starmer and his team have got a hell of a lot of work to do to clean up the mess left behind by the inept and incompetent. But I remain hopeful that we , as a nation will get there. The results on Thursday night as they came in gave us hope for a better future.
I believe it was Michael Gove who said "I think the people of this country have had enough of experts" in 2017.
So I welcome these changes.
At least quote the whole thing. "I think the people in this country have had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong."
@@TWFydGluoh yeah, so they listened to “experts “ from the IEA and CPS instead ?!
Yes I was lazy and did not include to full quote, thanks for clearing it up.
@@TWFydGlu Yeah...the whole quote doesn't make it better.
The country has had enough of morons in charge.
It all comes as a bit of a shock does it not, as we`ve become so used to unqualified yes men and women being appointed to government positions!
Clearly an extraordinary and clear thinking kind man. If you have a family, I have no doubt you are deeply respected.
It feels like the lunatic asylum has been exorcised and the adults have returned.
I'm feeling how I felt long ago in primary school, when our headteacher got rid of an incompetent and replaced them with a teacher who knew what she was doing. The whole class settled down and became much happier. What a relief!
Watching from the USA with a son and family in Wiltshire. More impressed with Sir Keir every day. How did you get so lucky.? Of course he can't be definite about Brexit but he and EU are conversing which tells me everything. Politics is about knowing when to compromise and when to hang tough and from what I've seen from your new Prime Minister in the nine years he's been in politics, he's got it down to a science.
Competent ministers! Sirs Arnold Robinson and Humphrey Appleby will be ruffled , aghast and gobsmacked.
Terrible to appoint somebody who is not "one of us".
After the appointment I heard a bit of James Timpson talking about his life and business ideas and my jaw almost dropped. A company leader who firmly believes that the company performs better when the staff is happy, enthused and well looked after. Who employs people out of prison and goes around to the stores personally to serve some customers, check the figures and then ask the staff if there’s any problems they think need fixing. He seeks to give opportunities to people our of foster care because his family fostered a vast number of children whilst he was growing up.
Frankly the more his ideas can be given a platform and influence the better
I have to say that Nadine was great entertainment on C4's election night broadcast and not in a good way. She was eviscerated by Alistair Campbell at every opportunity and completely humiliated herself. At one point she even tried to claim that Eton boy Boris had grown up in a slum and had it hard, so therefore he could empathise with the plebs unlike Rishi Sunak. It was quite excruciating
Totally agree, I did wonder what they had Nads on for, but yes Superb entertainment. Apparently she was also in the Studio when Vordeman ripped her a new one
Rory Stewart has a wealth of experience that Sir Keir would be wise to find a use for.
The previous cabinet were only concerned with power building and making money
I'd happily replace every bishop in the house of lords with a scientist.
It's lovely to feel the contrast, after seeing familiar and ubiquitous uselessness for so long. I feel like I -- we, as an electorate -- should learn to raise our expectations again, commensurate with the competence of our new government. Hurrah for standards!
Prison reform is going to be a gargantuan task, given the state of the prisons.
THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO- FOCUSSED- ON TARGET.
Experts? people who know their subject and really have proven ability? How dare he! We were told not to listen to experts by the beloved Boris and his dear associates. We should be ruled by amateurs, those born and raised to rule over us mere Plebs.
Joking aside, Starmer is showing himself to be a real manager, thank goodness, we so desperately need one.
So far Tim, I'm very impressed by the way in which this new administration is immediately starting to tackle a very difficult economy! We needed experts, not spoilt children.
Great to see solid, sensible politics, especially after the pantomime we have had with the Conservatives.
Totally agree with Rory Stewart. A rare intelligence coupled, I believe, with principles.
I hope they do a good job and prove the nay sayers wrong
Morning Professor.
So good to hear such a positive analysis of Starmer 💕 it's more than we get from the media.
I have always wanted more experts in government, instead of carpetbagging MPs like Suella Braverman or Liz Truss. Much like David Cameron, being appointed to the Lords to join the government means you don’t need to worry about the normal duties of a constituency MP. They can put all of their effort into the ministerial brief.
This Cabinet, compared to last. Chalk and cheese. The Tories were so inept, hopefully there will be significant change. It’s not always about money. Aptitude, intelligence, common sense can help in changing policies for the country.
We'll see. It's only been a few days and they haven't decided anything yet... except how to give `em all jobs:
I'd start by deleting the bureaucrats, replacing them with people who have shown competency and diligence. And start with the hospital `administrators`... who have proved neither of those things, except how to retaiin their positions!
Actions speak louder than words. Starmer is setting a high bar for integrity and this is what we need in this country. I hope he ensures that the Labour government lives up to these standards.
Very good to see keir starmer
Meeting with first ministers

Communication and consultation

He's preparing for Gordon Brown's "New Britain Constitution".
Seriously it isn't hard to identify those who have "know how" with the resources you have at your disposal in the Government.
The Timpson family have been fantastic in re-habilitating ex-prisoners and getting them back into work and helping build their lives in society.
I HAVE NOT FELT SO EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE AS NOW. I WAS ONLY 6 IN 1947!
I thought he might be competent, but he is borderline genius: appointing 3 people outside of the Labour Party because of their experience and not their politics is an incredibly audacious move - especially in addressing the issue of prisons and recidivism (an issue that isn't politically popular but is neverthess a ticking timebomb).
He's already exceeded my wildest expectations - and it's only Sunday.
I see Starmer is going to start emptying our Jails and putting Criminals back on the Streets Proff what a wonderful idea.
So many negative comments here picking out David Lammy by name, even though he's hasn't yet had a chance to do things wrong in post. I wonder what it is that is different about him than the rest of the Cabinet...?
Give him (and any of the others) a chance to fail before criticising them - the reason they were appointed was because they already had held the shadow position and have an understanding of the brief.
Professor Tim Wilson. I think the key is getting educated, competent people working in politics . 90 % of people working with President Joe Biden got a master degree or PHD. Frist Lady Jill Biden is the first lady in history with a PHD.
It’s such a breath of fresh air. I grow more and more in confidence with it
I heard about those appointments. Excellent.
From what I’ve heard the prison system is on its knees in the UK. Rehabilitation if done correctly will prevent re-offending. It needs an overhaul and the solution is not just to build a new prison.
All three sounded like well thought out appointments. No more jobs for the boys.
One word : Lammy 😆😆
Labour is rapidly emerging as a Government that is based in integrity, competence, dedication and expertise, and led by a calm and energetic PM who listens to others.
Aren't you being a bit premature?
........ And no 'common sense minister'!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We got so used to all the scandals and embarrassing things the Tories did..I am hoping that Kier will hear the voices of the genuine disabled members of our society who have been conveniently ignored or shamed and shunned by the Tories..my disabled lad has me to look out for him..but I won't be here for ever..I hope to have him in a world where he will be protected..so come on Kier..step up for these vulnerable folk..don't do an Esther McVay on us ever again..that woman made me ill..
People, who know what they are doing? That would never do - we must have "experienced" people, who have been doing the job over the past 14 years ... oh, hang on.

Please, please don't thank deities, Prof. If this deity is everywhere, as some claim, then it is interoceptively dysfunctional beyond belief. As much unaware as we are to the functioning of individual proteins. As for these Tories mentioned, I sincerely hope we never, ever have to hear from them again! Farage being there is painful enough. Hopefully, they will trounce that rabble-rousing crooked crowned so-and-so sooner, rather than later.
David Lammy as foreign secretary? 😂 😂
I've thought for some time that the current situation is a close parallel to the situation during WWII, when it was absolutely vital that *competent and capable* people were appointed to ministerial posts irrespective of their precise political stance because the country's survival depended upon it.
What we've seen under the last government has been the opposite of that, where some of the most unsuitable people have been appointed to important positions simply because they were cronies or allies of whoever happened to be Prime Minister at that moment, or to appease noisy sections of the Conservative Party. Incompetence and/or incapability were no bar to high office.
Thankfully, Kier Starmer's cabinet appears to be a group we can get behind and trust to do their jobs with ability and integrity, and hopefully the press will have the good grace to let them get on with it.
Good grace from the MSM? Fat chance! Foreign & non-dom ownership of media outlets needs ending. There needs to be a crime of lying to the public rigorously prosecuted by Starmer's old office, Public Prosecutions. Also the Cliveden set will be back all too soon unless they are hit hard & repeatedly while they are down. Bonds need to be used to fund the immediate renationalisation of utilities, railways & buses. See what Nellie the effluent, Braverman, Bad Enoch, BoJo et al would make of that... The '45 government showed how to do nationalisation: the question is has this lot got the balls or are they just another bunch of slightly pinker tories?
Starmer hires Timpson - evidently he wants an expert on key workers.
Do I detect a glimmer of hope that we may just have people in this government who actually know what they are doing?

It should be the norm, qualified people in the relevant departments, should go without saying.
It also will blunt interference from the civil service who get away with that as well, they could get away with there own agendas when the ministers {unqualified} were caught in the headlights.
What a refreshing change giving people who know what they are doing doing the job don't know why no body thought of that before??!!
