Thanks for this, Sean Langan is a legendary hero who made his stance in history!

The liberal warmongering propaganda machine hates this documentary with biggest passion

A book really worth reading, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏

Extremely timely that we have a soldier's perspective! Ukrainians need their own voice, no better voice than this woman soldier who has experienced the war and fight for freedom first hand.

Rory conveniently forgot that the Afghan withdrawal was negotiated by Trump to become effective during the NEXT administration. But whatever….

Thank you so much for this interview. Just watching in 2024, but I am coming away so inspired.

...and who told you that God didn't answer? He knows what you are going through, he listened and the answer, given, is on its way...

Pathetic circlejerk of a defeated reactionary movement. Xi Jinping is immortal and inevitable, it's fate.

The talk is full of mistakes. Stories can be made for anyone on the world. Story-making is an easy way to make money, especially making stories for famous people like Xi.

lol two dummies scratch their back

With his third term, Xi (even not under Chinese terms) legitimate. Maybe it's time to put this in the focus, instead using romantic terms like: _The Red Emperor._ Didn't we learn anything from the Olympics in 1936, in which the whole world made the Nazi salute when they enter the Stadium ... for me, Xi is nothing else but a criminal.

How interesting Well done china

Mixing truth with a bias supporting current mad British politics. That’s the style everywhere nowadays

Afghanistan is starving due to Durand Line.

Have you thought of producing actual blankets to the design of your Climate Blanket in the film? It would help with funding to help the climate migrants.. And help spread the message, especially with the young students who take up the causes that the global governments should be addressing..

it's rather amazing she hasn't seen the common denominator that connects Cuba Iran and Venezuela. Perhaps Washington DC tinkering for years might have something to do with it.

When it comes to the loss of democracy she hasn't mentioned Aipac's role in taking over American politicians and policies.

Keep in mind that she's written that she supports the killing of Palestinian journalists.

Low voter turnout in democracies should be resolved by facilitating voting; this is after all 2024. My entire life is managed from apps on my smartphone.

Rory for PM.

What is his book called?

There are very few Tory's I have any time for..however this chap is one and I find his views very engaging..he obviously thinks quite deeply unlike the idiotic pomposity of Rees Mogg and that twerp Johnson...

Thank goodness, someone who recognises that growth needs to shut up and take a back seat. Great to hear Kate Raworth get recognition.

Thanks for the upload. I intend to read his book.

Rory Stewart is a joke. And always has been. I served in the military also, I served with real men and Stewart was not one of them. I despise the guy..

"Politics is the creation of human beings, and as such, is therefore flawed. As with any situation in which two separate entities seek a similar outcome, little is accomplished, much is wasted, and the many it was intended to help are left with little to nothing. Were they to work together to serve a common purpose, rather than to work against one another to accomplish the same, they would one day learn that they have risen above being human. You are here not just to be human, but to remain a spiritual being."

I thought this was an excellent overview of Populism

Wonderful conversation and very insightful

Just started watching although I’ve seen so much of Rory lately I’m not expecting any surprises. But as others have said the interviewer sounds like she is trying out different accents and can’t quite decide.

Rory loves being reborn as 'maybe decent'. 'MINOR GANGSTERS'.

Excellent, thank you.

The Third way as espoused by many economists and political scientists during the 1990s when Blair and Clinton were in power, there was some hope that the centre-left parties, would gradually move on some issues towards the right of the centre and provide a viable alternative to the people and polity of the Industrialized Western World. What that did was it mutated the parties of the left and left them behind with no economic ideology or philosophy. Socialism or Social Market Capitalism was written on the manifestos for namesake purposes only!! Once the ideological difference between left and right after the collapse of the USSR vanished, the only alternative, was to move in the far-right direction with a unique twist which is populism and hyperbole nationalism. Identity politics are intertwined with the far-right agenda, which has surprisingly the support of all three classes in many countries. It's no more a scattered vote bank with some loonies in black shirts and nazi bands, supporting idiotic causes. So, we are seeing the mutation of politics in evolutionary terms, and the emergence of populism as a replacement theory and ideology to serve the masses after the defeat of communism and the centre-left's call for the socialization of investment and nationalization, trade union agitation, etc.

"We all wanted to be Denmark." What? Did I misunderstand this? I know I haven't been in government like Rory, but in my remembered experience and my many studies, I don't see that at all. I think our politicians, business community, and intelligentsia mostly wanted to be the United States. A pretty different model. The vast majority of the policy of the time was basically cut and paste from Stateside, and not against our will. That's part of why we ultimately got ourselves in trouble. We swallowed that ideology hook, like, and sinker, and weren't able to start moving away from it until the Biden administration finally had the guts to start shifting, post-Trump, and saying "trickle down is dead." And I'm not saying that was just the Tories. Labour just toned down Reaganism into Clintonism, for the most part. If we'd genuinely been trying to be Denmark or one of those mild-mannered, relatively pragmatic, higher tax northern European states, we'd arguably be in a much better way. Nobody was looking to Norway for inspiration apart from some isolated progressives and intellectuals. To start with the argument, "we were trying to be a sensible European social democracy, but then the populace rejected it," strikes me as an insanely bad-faithed way to start to understand the problem. That's what a lot of us have been begging for for decades, as the elite in fact decided that the state and the public sector were actually a bad thing on the whole, and started ripping them out and handing ever more power over to the markets, making life much worse for basically anyone in the country who was on the lower rungs or outright vulnerable. You could vote for Labour or the Tories from the mid-90s the the mid-10s and get a loose variation of the same thing. In my opinion, people have for the most part been rebelling against hard neo-liberalism. Even Brexit was ultimately, in my experience, about neo-liberalism - very loose immigration systems being a part of the pro-capital globalisation agenda - albeit a part often supported by the libertarian left for human rights reasons. Hopefully northern European social democrat 'near left' is what we'll try and do from hereon in - Scotland already seem like they've been trying to move that way - but it's absolutely not what anyone in power was trying to do in previous decades.

Man, how can Rory ever claim to have been a conservative when he is still raving about no-growth donut economics? Lunacy.

~minute 6:53 RS begins monologue on the rise of popularism. Great on political history, nothing on the impact of social media, the failure of education (in the US and arguably in the UK). The failure to re-skill US rust belt workers in the wake of a declining heavy industry (mining and steel) in the US. RS is undoubtedly a remarkable intellect but not without his biases and blinkers.

Very impressive.

Rory Stewart is part of the problem, he is part of the metropolitan liberal elite and can't see that the policies that it has pushed(namely globalisation) has utterly failed.

Yes Rory, but Truss and the corroded system of government is a symptom of the IEA think tank (lobby group) and neoliberal greed train that Thatcher set in motion.

Why are people so focused on her accent? It really isn't important.

rory can trick the yanks into thinking he's a human but the uk public arent fooled

Such a sad fact that intelligent, experienced and caring people like Rory, who are more needed than ever to be in positions of power, are reluctant to subject themselves to the vagaries of a broken system occupied by incompetent and selfish people who don't care about the people they purport to represent and claim to want to help. Indeed, they block his efforts to get things done in a measured and realistic way because that approach doesn't create the necessary soundbites to please party leaders.

US the leading countey of the free world, really?

😂both the british and the american voting structures sorely and urgently require major modifications. Barring these we can say goodbye to democracy as we become slaves of corporations

he ain't the messiah ..

Why does this known spook keep appearing everywhere. He gives me the creeps.

The facet of the Ukraine war Rory isn't mentioning is the collapse of Putin's government. Want to protect Ukraine, win fast and hard, then arm them to the teeth. Want to take down the Kremlin, draw it out. Drain their material reserves, gut the army staff, make the economic and human cost very dear indeed - and then take away Crimea anyhow. The darkest days of this war are probably past, and Ukraine held. Even if Trump wins, one or both of these things are going to happen - the Republicans will locate their gonads and save their own party by insisting on continued support, and / or Europe will take the gloves off. Ukraine is going to win. The thing to worry about is what happens next in internal Russian politics.

The 2 questions at a time really doesn't work

Rent must have been cheap, looks like a prison.

Excellent from Rory. Just a small correction. Reform finished on just over 14% and the Lib Dems on something over 12%. You overstated the vote of Reform and understated the vote of Lib Dems

Her accent is the strangest thing I've ever heard. She will often say the same word twice in one sentence but with totally different accents! The first half will be American and the second half British. It's so difficult to concentrate or take anything she says seriously.
