- James O'Brien offers his unfiltered predictions on what we can expect in the run up to the General Election, which Rishi Sunak has announced will take place on 4th July.
As the key Party leaders hit the UK campaign trail after a shock election call, James O'Brien reacts to the initial media coverage: ’Seize the initiative? He couldn’t seize an umbrella!’
James O'Brien predicts the upcoming ‘post-Brexit’ election will see Conservatives ‘tripling down on lying through their teeth’.
He also highlights the ‘desperation’ of the ‘Tory-donating client media’ supporting Rishi Sunak after he announced the election.
Rishi Sunak has claimed the 'economy has turned a corner' and 'plan is working' at his first campaign rally after announcing election...
But is the England's Euro glory Sunak's only path to political survival?

That speech in the rain was the worst image, a lasting image that will be the only thing shown on television the day he dies. What a symbol of a failed era in government.
That was embarrassing. Who in their right mind would suggest doing that?
Remind anyone of Steve McClaren- only difference being he was using one when he shouldn't have, while Sunak could have been in doors, so was needlessly exposed to rain.
And you guys are Labour voters it seems . lol
And the words inscribed on his headstone will be “Things only got wetter”.
I think the fact that nobody rushed out to hold an umbrella over him was very telling of his popularity.
Whether he wins or not, this will be his legacy - standing out in the rain, sopping wet with "it can only get better" which is a Labour anthem playing in the background.
The image of Rishi walking away in the rain is perfect symbolism for the state of the UK right now.
A sad, corrupt, tired ol country, with no hope, no future and no plans
Fastest growing of the large European economies over the next 6 years according to the IMF.

His umbrella had already been packed in his suitcase ready for his move to California.
California known for its rain and bad weather
@@David-mi3il in California, you just call it a parasol, and what's that, time for margaritas!
@@David-mi3il Albert Hammond has a fitting song: It Never Rains in Southern California...
@@David-mi3ilthere are plenty regions in California that are prone to floods. I live in a sub-tropical climate, somewhat like southern California and it would shock you to see what rain can do in such climates. I'm an ex-pat Scot and we get Scotland's yearly rain total in just 3 months, the fact that we're called the Sunshine state doesn't seem to stop it from flooding each year. So, ask someone from Orange County if they live in a place known for rain...
@@red.aries1444: 'seems it never rains in Southern California ... It pours, man, it pours'.
Prime miniature? What a great slip of the tongue.
It was no slip.
A bit Freudian
Are we certain it WAS a slip ?
Can we count up how much public money they have stolen
2 trillion!
£50bn+ just through Covid (£37bn track and trace and c.£13bn PPE contracts and fraudulent PPE)
Oh my Christ I've long since lost count. It must be billions by now
Should we include the Thatcher times? The great idea of privatisation that led to Britain being sold to the highest bidder.
@@starspire703 Public housing sold off and now we have 350,000+ homeless and 260,000+ empty houses.
When things go well, the Tories take the credit. When things go badly, it's not their fault. Sounds perfectly logical to me.
Sounds like every politician that’s ever existed to me.
@@hithere9377 no other party, bar maybe reform, lie like this. grow up

Didn't get his India trade deal though that would've massively enriched his father-in-law. I'm sure Infosys will be quickly dropped from the list of government approved suppliers going forwards
He has ‘secured the bag 💰
Funny how Sunak fixed inflation just before he called an election
No, the Bank of England said it would be at this level anyway
No the Bank of England.
Funny how inflation was fixed the moment enough time had passed that the really high inflation was no longer counted in the figures.
@@Whythehateit is actually above what they thought it would be
@@drln1ghthaunterspot on. Only counted for the last 12 months
There were no questions because people like Darren Mcafferey were kicked out of the press briefing. Live on television. This one wasn't on the media, this was Sunak surrounding himself with Simps.
Yep, one of the audience was confirmed to be a conservative councillor. Maybe that's * the plan *.
"Just chuck on a couple of hi vis jackets and you'll look just like the poors"
Just googled Boris Johnson's Downing street media briefing room which cost the tax payer more than 2.6 million. Sunak would much rather stand outside again in the chuffing rain. 🤷
It was built by a Russian company so is probably bugged. The election announcement is half government business, half party political so you can't really use a government building for it. I don't like the way Downing Street has become a manicured film set. Couldn't Rishi use his billions to hire a conference room for 5 minutes?
Some journalists mentioned that after the election, he might move to the US because the schools would start soon after.
Perhaps it leaks!
@@gdgisa2884 Mad Nads also came out with this theory,. If it was her brain that thought of that conjecture maybe she's brighter than she's given credit for. That said....
It's more traditional to announce elections outside. Labour are desperate to get into power. But they are all the same. Reform party is our only hope for.change ❤
Steve Bray had a plan. And an umbrella. These two things were related. The PM who wants you to stick with the plan didn't even consider the weather in his plan to announce the election. It was pathetic.
I believe he was offered one of the European umbrellas but saw people sniggering.
Anyone who keeps repeating they have a plan
Does not have one
Starmer says multiple times he has a plan still don't know what it is
@@mattbrady5261 The plan that wil fix Britain that the Tories keep pinching parts of as they have no plan.
Rishi literally ha don plan to check the weather and bring an umbrella with him
as he stands there listening to things can only get wetter live from drowning street!
@@mattbrady5261 Wouldn't be 80% - 90% of the media is tory owned. Can't be surly? I said that really sarcastic btw. So you wouldn't miss it ✊
Straight over the head@@kerryfry1857
Brexit, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak? Don't forget the unnecessary imposition of austerity.
Don't forget the mini budget.
Don't forget Osbourne, Cummings, Farage, the BBC, Mail, Telegraph, Express, Sun, GB "News", Talk TV, LBC ( on certain times), Sky News.....
The fact that austerity killed as many people as the Iraq war did.
Why was there austerity? Oh yes Labour broke the country like a teenager with a credit card
@@williamgannaway8183 and not a word said in par liar meant , but hey its only tories killing the poor so nothing abnormal to report
Why has he called it now? I think he's just given up. He knows he won't win and just wants out.
I agree completely. Things aren’t gonna work. The Rwanda scheme is gonna fall on its face, but I just think he’s had enough.
He has made his £billion out of us , now wants to leave the UK .
Funny how he announced it the day that inflation comes down.
Terrible what they have done to the people of this country while filling there own pockets.
Angela Rayner, anybody?
@@JfK--OBJECTivE Oh dear someone hasn't been paying attention
Yes it is but its also these people who voted for it.
That's all anyone wants to be an MP for to see what they can steal
Wait until Labour wins, then ya’ll be crying. Better stick with the Devil you know.
5th July. BA First class lounge. Mr and Mrs Sunak. LA bound.
Just in time for the kids to start the new school term..
Private jet, just to prove that he's the proud Brit he isn't.

Especially under labour

I thought that we would never have a bigger liar than Johnson. But then Sunak came along and took lying to a far higher level than that of his mentor and literal partner in crime.
Sunak has dragged the diseased tory party into its final reckoning
The umbrella: It is the Steve McLaren principle. He would have been ‘the wally with the brolly 2.0’. Love what you’re doing James. Keeping speaking truth to power.
Amazing😂
Inflation went down? I must have missed that along with all the suppliers who have put my bills up…
Inflation going down is... still inflation
@@mouldy69ukerr
This is what nobody in the media every ****ing points out which is that whilst inflation may indeed be down, prices are not.
When inflation goes up prices go up right away at the same rate but when inflation comes down, prices refuse to fall for as long as possible and when they finally come down they fall slightly but not as much as inflation falling has.
Sunak's speech in the rain was a washout. Just like the 14 years of Tory rule. A complete and utter washout.
Sunak sloping off, soaking wet, says everything about his Premiership 😅
First, we had a lettuce, then a wet lettuce 😂
Best comment 🤣🤣
Keep an eye out for his memoir on a lidl shelf near you.
In the toiletries section of course.
I'll keep that in mind in case they've run out of toilet rolls.
Straight from pulp fiction to pulped fiction. By-passing the pound shops on the way.
Woolworths
will it outsell Liz Truss' book?
We really should fact-check everything Sunak said yesterday.
I reckon the timing is aimed at inconveniencing working class folk in the hope that they won't bother voting. Timed for when many of us are on holiday or watching the Euros.
they could call it when we are all sitting on the toilet mate , but it wont save them the tories are going to get such a battering in the election , and they deserve it too
@@tomfinney3416😂
The issue is hunt stood in front of the cameras Friday and lied constantly while calling labour liars, not one journalist in the room called out his lies. This is the problem with the majority of our press / news channels that they don't hold the conservatives like they do to labour, most news channels yesterday were saying to labour MPs your policies are just the same, I mean they literally just found out about the election, what they expecting the manifesto to be released within a hour after sunak called it ?
Yes the manifesto should be ready and updated at all times
Spot on ,it's all over the world N.Z. Australia Canada Germany India I hope I don't upset you ,but the country isnoreal runs the media
@@steelexpress_1 At which point, people say Labour's changed it's pledges... Whereas Richy Rish! can chop and change and say 'end the boats' which is impossible and not even going to start until after the election (when he would say if PM, it's going to be tough, etc....)
UK media is fkn disgrace. Lies and deceit.
i think they do but they all arent chosen and get thrown out (look at that sky news guy the other day lol). Annoyingly almost all tory mps are on GBeebies payroll.
Can't even make a driving licence in this country,despite a shortage of drivers and lorry drivers.
2 years ago I waited 15 months for my licence to get sent to me.
@@user-ol6rd7pl5t Write to your MP. The DVLA can't have a backlog, because they are mainly online. So they are lying Covid was only an excuse.
Driving schools just cashing in without providing a provisional test.
That is basic and transport are key jobs for the country. We can't have conditions like in Bangladesh
When was the last time any MP faced hardship. Financially.
From 2010 there salaries have increased from £65000 to almost £100000.
How many of the electrote can say this.
Yep. At one point you had David Cameron’s cabinet where 2/3 of them were millionaires! And I think of sitting MPs right now it’s something like 73% are themselves millionaires!
There is a joke where I live that my Tory MP is on the missing persons list as he has not been since before covid! Soon took his £10,000 for supposedly working from home . He can't even reply to emails.
"Rishi seizes the initiative" hahaha the bloke couldn't even look out of the window...
"prime miniature"? Perfect Freudian slip!
And the Oscar🏆 for best 👌 soundtrack goes to...........
Steve Bray.😂
National treasure 🥰
Has he not got a proper job yet
@@pipins3616
Nice comment 👍 those who know, know !
He is betting on 'commoners' to give them another 80+ seat majority.
He's going to find that his phrase "commoners are revolting," may have a different meaning.
He's dreaming
Surely you mean Gammons?🤔
@HarryFlowerrs oh dear - being sanctimonious does not include making r@cist statements
“The commoners” have mostly realised that switching to Tories first Brexit and “change” and a blonde floppy haired clown has not worked. There are “commoners” who cling to the Brexit “dream” of sunny uplands and unicorns, by by large, the “commoners” of the “Red Wall” have realised we’ve made a huge, huge mistake. 🥴🇬🇧
Can we please put aside a moment to praise the ultimate professionalism of the man who provided the acclaimed sound track to Sunak's resignation/suicide note📝 the wonderful STEVE BRAY.
@@stevenharvey1447 and the PEOPLE loved it...
Hear hear.
no its rude and disrespectful
no it was rude
@@jane9875 very funny though Jane....... maybe you don't have a sense of humour
I don't suppose it matters to him if his suit got ruined - he won't have paid for it anyway.
Mr Sunak has never not had things go his way in life. His inability to grasp the fact that he has failed as prime minister is hard to watch.
he also helped cause the 2008 banking crash they blame labour for!
Not for me. I can watch Tory Prime Ministers be humiliated for failing any day of the week.
@@mojomusica perhaps we can make a game show out of it ......!
such a brilliant freudian slip! .

Prime Miniature... LOL!
I dislike making fun of his height, people should do better.

Ruined a nation and an expensive suit.
Andrew Harley. This was Liberation Day. Drowned Rat Day. Even the Raingod gwas with us.
It's OK Boldrick has given him another one of his cunning plans, we're saved.
James, the BBC will be doing their best to prop up the Tory scuumbags
Maybe he was going to be ousted by the tory party, so called it before this could happen.
The Tories are trying to oust Rishi if he does not cancel the election.
As his mouth' s moving and he's a Tory, it's self-evident he's lying...
Perfect excuse to show Rwanda idea was waste of time ,money and can't be implemented, throw a GE in and blame an opposition party. End of the year he said for GE now look at the rat .
Oh! and get the wasted money back from all who gained from the Rwanda BS.
Nice, expensive press hall nearby and Sunak is too dim to get out of the rain.
Maybe they're still wary of using it, after it was revealed the comms equipment was installed by Russians.
Probably Johnson's handlers.
Finally he calls the election in the pouring rain the little drip !
Yesterday had all the hallmarks of Panic.
i think they were planning on kicking him out so he called it.
“Prime Miniature”. ☺️
Anyone… anyone, who is capable of looking out the window at the rain and deciding - you know what… I’ll throw on a waterproof jacket, or grab a brolly before I go out, displays better judgement than Rishi Sunk (sic).
This is a great metaphor for the Tories - Things can only get wetter live from drowning street with Wishy Sunak! lol
I will not vote tory anymore.
Argos - small gazebo - £25. Ideal for outdoor media briefings, as not used by our 'damp squib PM. What a shower!
Why has he gone now ? Lets see, Over 10,000 high rise flats still clad with the flammable cladding that caused the Grenville Tower disaster. Subpostmasters still awaiting compensation. The infected blood disaster that await compensation. The schools and hospitals that are at risk of collapse due to the failure of Raac concrete. The millions given in contracts for PPE to thier friends who failed to supply or were substandard. The surprise is that the Tories didn't run to the hills years ago. The name Tory comes from the Irish word Torai meaning outlaw or robber, seems very apt
All his staff hate him so much they refused to find him an umbrella.
A little bit of Pie there James, the " prime miniature ".
Hahaha😂
Bravo James !!!!! Spot on!!!!
He doesn't need an umbrella because drips don't get wet, they just get bigger.
I heard it referred to as 10 Drowning Street !
"as inappropriately named as James Cleverly"😅😅😅😅😅.
Honestly, I think that, knowing in his bones that the Tories are gonna lose whether in 6 weeks or 6 month, I think Rishi decided he'd rather be able to enjoy the summer, have a holiday, not have to answer to anyone. I think he's looking at Liz Truss and David Cameron and Boris Johnson and thinking "being a former prime minister looks so much nicer than being prime minister."
Mental last night. Richy the drowned out drowned rat😅
i wondered why Larry kept licking his lips...
“Seizes the initiative? He couldn’t even seize an umbrella to keep himself dry”. Perfect.
Don't hold out much hope that our Right wing Media asking the right questions our call out LIES. It also includes BBC as well as the other stand out "newspapers".
7:41 such a brilliant freudian slip! 😅
I heard that too
It was on purpose but very apt.
I was just about to tag it but thought someone might have got there first, Prime Miniature is so perfect
I was about to mention that
Sunrat standing outside 10 Drowning Street without an umbrella sums it all up.
Why now? Because he wants his children going to a new school in California after the Summer Hollyday.
The torys have have gone madder than pootin, and he is pretty crazy.
I hope labour dont bottle it when they get in and hold these Tories to account, maybe put them public school boy's behind bars .
Turns out I also have a heart of stone.
Seems as though I do too.
4th of July. All schools in Scotland closed for Summer. Parents taking kids away on holiday. Tories polling at 12% in Scotland for the past couple of years. How to arrange polling stations when schools shut 🤔
He has milked as much as he can for himself and family and close friends if he as any they won’t be working class anyway
Did you mean Prime Miniature? 😂😂

Was that a freudian slip there James? Did you just call Sunak the 'Prime Miniature'? 😄😄😄

No sympathy for Rishi Sunak
He’s been offered a job in California and his kids want to go to School in the USA for the Autumn term
Also his wife can hide her money much easier in the USA
I can't wait to see the back of them.
I too have a heart of stone apparently : I laughed as he got drenched. Prime Miniature - almost missed that one !
I guess Sunak did not want to be labelled 'The Wally with the Brolly' (Steve McClaren)So he wanted to act like the tough Guy to the British people. You can TRUST ME, I can brave the bad weather and speak to the Nation. It was a very POOR judgement on his part
7:42 lol, "Prime Miniature"
Yep he said it
Highest energy bills in Europe. Highest taxes in 70 years.
Highest interest rates since 2008.
Highest train fares in Europe.
Longest waiting lists in NHS history.
Raw sewage pumped into rivers.
Lowest corporate taxes in 50 years.
Finally the light at the end of the tunnel has just been switched back on, the end of the 14 year nightmare is in sight.
The record he's campaigning on is the Benny Hill theme tune.
"Unprecedentedly awful", no James. There were plenty of people at the 2019 election that FULLY PRECEDENTED how awful it would be. You elected a guy who hid in a fridge because of a hard question.
James it sounded like a resignation. He’s resigning to a fate and planning for a better life in California. Part of him stopped caring. Come September he’ll be laughing at us all whilst soaking up gorgeous sun light and rolling around in money
Yeah that's our money
Did he say Prime Miniature? 😂
The 'prime miniature' talking of 'little' else but 'small' boats... 😂
Guess I have a heart of stone then. Watched it on the train (on headphones) this morning; laughing so hard I got looked at by everyone like I was crazy 😂😂😂.
Nothing left to steel
Those of us living abroad, for however long, are now eligible to vote. I'll be interested to see if we get our ballot papers in time for it to be returned to UK and to be counted.
I just heard you refer to rishi snuak as prime miniature.... so appropriate is so many ways
The Wally without a brolly .
7:40 - "Prime miniature" 😂😂
Surely Rishi’s had enough, he looks like he’s hating acting as PM. The faces of him, Dowden and Hunt yesterday said it all. Starmer was acting as the PM yesterday.
He also said wages have risen, didn,t he say that rising wages cause inflation.
I think it's more telling that no-one chose to bring him an umbrella. The party are obviously right behind him. Behind him in the dry to be exact.
