- “The Tories are pretty desperate now just to throw any mud at Labour, not because the thing is going to make a difference in terms of winning.”

Marie Caulfield's misfire on the morning round by attempting to suggest initially Starmer had said he wanted to work a 4-day week before she was corrected by the interviewer to point out he just said he would try to finish at 6 on a Friday. Given that Boris missed multiple COBRA meetings to finish an overdue book it's a bit rich attacking Starmer for wanting a family meal one day a week, which is on the premises so if there is something that needs his attention he's only got walk down a couple of flights of stairs.
She also said she was a woman of faith and then lied immediately after on national TV. I thought lies were a sin?
Also Conservative Ministers have found the time to work 3 or 4 other jobs while being an MP, excuse the pun but it's a bit rich.
This is ridiculous. Having tea with his family is now a criminal offence! Good Grief! How desperate can you get?
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. A. Supermajority. In. The. UK. A supermajority is an American term referring to a required threshold for some legislation, it does mean “a very big majority” and is a meaningless term in the UK.
Blame Alex Salmond
Well the Tories too
But first I heard it here was Salmond in reference to the Holyrood election
We’re not in America. It’s clear what is meant
@@ΑΣΔΦΓΗΞΚΛ I don't know the context that you heard Salmond using it, but "supermajority" has a real meaning with respect to Holyrood, in that the Supreme Court can require a supermajority (i.e. 2/3 of MSPs to vote in favour) for a bill to pass. So it isn't a meaningless term in the UK, but it is meaningless for Westminster.
@@bengenovese6591 not much
A majority is a majority in this system
At the very outside it just means Starmer could ignore division in his own party to a greater degree
But he's already fixed that with his candidate purges
@@heatherrobertson6110 ah ok, context was everyone "vote SNP in the normal way" and "give Alibaba your list vote" for a supermajority for independence
“Supermajority” is not a thing in Britain.
Anything beyond 100 doesn't make any difference.
We are living through non British times, Tories cannot be allowed to stranglehold the UK any more.
Invented import words.
It’s just a majority!
A majority of 1 is all a British Government needs to totally rewrite the UK constitution. A supermajority is an American term in reference to the 60 seats minimum needed in the US Senate to make a conditional amendment.
Is that the pro-brexit Andre Neil dialling it in from his house in France?
Will Starmer make people's lives better? Well the very fact of turfing the corrupt Tories out will have a profoundly positive effect on the nation's mental health. So let's start with that shall we?
@@sbrown314 absolutely I feel better already & we haven’t even had the election!!! Optimistic for the first time in years!!!
Reduced to trying to get a headline about dinner now, what an absolutely desperate state of affairs.
If someone was coming to ROB you would you call me desperate for warning you DHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@@michaelathanasiou2030 I'd thank you but the Tories have already robbed me of most of my well being and wealth
It’s antisemitism
Starmer’s wife is Jewish, he’s said he observes Shabbat with his family.
This dog whistle bigotry that seeps from the tories I would expect from reform.
The amount of comments supporting this line is also horrific.
To attack someone for their observance of a Jewish tradition won’t end well for shapps and Co.
Disgusting.
im 55 I've not known a new government with such a huge task of repairing the country problems caused by greed and incompetence.
Boris was barely capable of standing up by 6pm every Friday. That wine fridge got a hammering....

You/I forgot till now operation moonshot
Well yes but Kier Starmer ate a curry and Angela Raynor sold a house so who's to say which party would run the country better?
Typical you missed all the important stuff 😮
Good list, but only 50% accurate!
There is no such thing as a super majority in our system of government it's just a big majority.
Mega pint
2 more days of these clowns.
That depends on a different set of clowns led by Nutty Nigel.
Is this the Andrew Neil who has spent his whole journalistic life as a craven supporter of the Tories?
My thoughts too. Two-faced pillock.
Yes it is.
Yes.
Yeah, Brillo Pad has always been a Tory lapdog.
It is he...... reverse ferretting away.
Amazing how Tories are now against a work/life balance when such a large amount of them have second jobs as pundits/news readers/columnists.
Andrew Neil has started changing his tune as times media declared its support to labour 😂
Or maybe the last 14 years has convinced him.
If you want to be PM, then you should be willing to work 24 hour, 7 days a week, said Boris Johnson.
A quality he never once lived up to.
But then... why is anyone surprised by the serial liar that is boris johnson!!
Boris - the biggest "skiver" with kids everywhere & at the time also a "mistress" in tow - suddenly made an honest woman of her - Carry???
@@PauletteCheyne think he must be up at about 10 kids now! No wonder he needs to.grift everywhere... it.must be costing a fortune!!
Yes just before he went for a drink in the Airport lounge 😂
0:40 Mr Starmer?
He has a knighthood, how tory of Andrew Neil.
Why haven't the Tories been absolutely slated over the past 14 years for their failure to provide economic growth? Cameron and Osborne promised growth in 2010, but they and subsequent Conservative Prime Ministers have failed to provide it, and never been pressed on their failure to provide it apart from the odd, ooh look, stagnating growth comment, so the Tories have been let off the hook, and suddenly it's all on Starmer?
If someone works that hard for such terrible results they should maybe take a rest.
Desperation measures from the defunct Tories. I think it's great the guy wants to carve out a couple of hours a week to spend with his family if he can. We know Boris couldn't wait to get away from his family when he could, mainly to start a new one somewhere...
Sunak has been Sunackered!!!
Teresa May booked a morning a week for the gym and another for church on a Sunday. Cameron reserved an evening a week to go with his wife out for a meal. Johnson seemed to take more holidays than workdays and missed numerous cobra meetings during the pandemic. The hypocrisy here is typical.
someone walk into Conservatives HQ please and loudly announce "shalom to you all!" Jim style
Carrying a smogol
If Starmer can't carve out for 5 hours for his family, he's not capable of running the country.
I've never known a new government with such a huge task of repairing a country totally ruined by greed and incompetence
@@bobsmith2794Well said but hey most of these clowns are millionaires so won't be going to a food bank any time soon they actually made money from Brexit and their dodgy pals who profited from Covid bunch of greedy people
Always the emphasis on, what if they fail?, why not for once imagine the scenario if they succeed.
5 hours sleep didn't do Thatcher's brain much good in retirement.
Ouch.
No one likes a swot!
Perhaps the Starmer family have a Seder meal on Friday evening, Victoria and the children are Jewish. Not a problem.
The Conservative attacks on Labour and ReformUK show desperation and are pathetic.
How could such an indolent, low calibre person such as Boris Johnson have made it to prime minister? Expensive boarding schools game places at Oxford for the wrong sort of people. There are so many genuinely brilliant people from our many outstanding redbrick and other top universities who should be at the pinnacle of the UK government but they are kept out by a tiny social clique which advances the likes of Cameron, Johnson, Frost, Hannan and Rees Mogg.
The Tories will be dreading losing mainly because the public will be finding out just how corrupt they have been which seems to point to that its been on an enormous scale!
Kier Starmer has dinner at 6pm on Fridays Daily email headline...
Looking at Mr Neil's wall, he does love himself or is it a memory wall for the future...
It would be nice if Jacob Rees Smaug done one day's work a week😅😅
Starmer is right- family is important!!!
So is running a nation u half wit
Boris Johnson hardest worker ever🤡
He trolled them quite excellently!
Nobody’s voting for Labour, they’re voting against the Tories…big difference.
That MONSTER Starmer!
Get out vote the liars out ta x enough.....
There is not such thing as a super majority.😂😂
Did lack of sleep lead to Thatcher’s dementia?
If Starmers gamble on growth "doesn't pay off", so what ! He should just remind everyone of the extreme right wing Liz Truss alternative and Brexit, the biggest example of self harm in British history and a lot of voters would stick with him.
Rishi asked people to judge him by his actions and I believe we are, fingers crossed.😏
They’ve only their delves to blame
Boris Johnson made time for all his families.
There's no such thing as a supermajority, it's not a thing in parliament.
I wonder the lack of sleep for Thatcher was a contributing factor to her dementia in later life?
We've seen nothing yet. 5 years of labour, and that list will be seen as the warm-up act
It wont stop the Murdoch Press attacking Starmer or any other Labour person with ridiculous and nasty attacks though, will it ?
If Starmer can't have a great relationship with his family, how can he have a great relationship with the nation?
However the Tory motto should be: Potentia in conspectu familiae
Or maybe: Uvam acerbam
Just heard that Labour are going to tax bingo so… what with that and making all men wear dresses.
A guess the Cons would not complain if they had a supermajority!
If the Tories really wanted to avoid a Labour supermajority they could just stand down every candidate standing against Reform like Reform did for them in 2019.
Just saying....ya know.
Reform is standing in pretty much every seat. So you are basically saying that the Tories should just move aside and let Reform take over...
Just saying...ya know.
Nobody controlled Johnson’s diary!
What registers with voters is a party that is talking about work-life balance, whilst the Tories screech about working people to the bone.
And that is surprisingly unsurprising.
Maria Caulfield will have plenty of time to spend with her family come friday 'WON'T SHE'................
FRIDAY NIGHT Dinner any food Jackie ?
True Labour heritage - Get Down Wilson! 😂
AN telling people far more important than him what to do. Stay in France and hush.
Commentators predicted that this election would get personal.. Boris Johnson, for one, was more than happy to take days off whenever someone paid him.
Supermajority will end democracy. Only a vote for the Conservatives can save the UK's fragile democracy.
Anyone else get a letter from their future self today? Whoever came up with this letter should be ashamed with how embarrassing and desperate they come across.
I got one
I got one that told me to stop skynet
Time for change
Why’s Andrew Neil got a picture of Madonna on his wall?
Vote Brexit says Mr Neil….. then moves to France hahaha.
Sunak was a terrible politician,but it was Boris Johnson and Lizzie Truss that destroyed the Tory Party.Sunak just didnt have the attributes to clean up the mess.
Vote reform x
Does this mean a pay cut for him working part time 😂
Still a complete lack of understanding on this channel what happened in 2019. We had a populist government. We aren't behind Europe we are 5 years ahead. The 2019 promises in the Conservative manifesto included 40 new hospitals, levelling up, an end to net immigration and a Brexit deal that would somehow cut us off from our main export market for goods and increase goods exports overall. The latter was of course impossible and has reduced exports of goods while adding billions of pounds in red tape cost. The former could have been done but nothing at all happened. These are the empty promises that caused many in the population not to trust politicians.
Have you all got amnesia, again? Boris Johnson hardly committed himself. to a diary? Or commitment to attend his job or parliament question time, or responsibly?
Their hero Boris Johnson couldn't be bothered to work. Too busy ******
❤ the truth!
We're just hearing the death throes of the Tories
Yes - Sunak - the Empire strikes back!
Desperate Tories
Stop using “super majority “ it’s silly. Johnson was a lazy PM and truly terrible on integrity and detail.
More unpopular than Truss or Sunak when they came to power? Really?
Andrew Neill, such an old hack, resstating the obvious and retreading old ground.
Antisemitism rife in Tory party
When asked in debate about women's issues KS rolled many immentraly proposals. RS cited his 2 daughters whom is off to California where the farther greased palm of collage with £3m while UK school crumble.
A majority of 1 is a supermajority, please tell people, in British politics 1 is all you need, 300 could be a problem because of factions within. Please explain to people, it's called balance, or to use an old school expression the truth......
I am surprised as it is known that Starmers family practice the Jewish faith and Friday evening is important for the family, so either the Tories don't know Starmers family religious practices or as well as disliking Muslims they are also anti-semites. So by saying this are they now just appealing to all faiths except Muslims and Jews to hope to get a better proportion of the vote. This may sound a little sarcastic (which it is) but on a more serious note the smearing, mud slinging and outright lying coming from what once was my party is so corrupt and distasteful it makes the other anti British value party Reform look as pure as fresh snow.
Stop saying supermajority 😡 It’s a majority plain and simple.
Why’s that bloke wearing a baseball cap in a dark studio, and back to front, as well as a t-shirt! Standards are slipping!
The times is still Tory, listen to these Tory sympathisers, what do you suggest we do? Wait for Jesus to stand for parliament?
Cool cap
The whole argument about starmer having tea with his Jewish wife is probably a culture war by the tories, trying to turn anti Jewish people against labor.
Right on, Neil. It was just too much, unnecessary, info Starmer should've kept to himself.
It's so puerile of the Tories to try to make a thing of it. But, alas, we tend to import Americanisms (or, GOPisms, in this case)
PG TIPS
The Tories may be desperate but they aren't as desperate as poor Andrew Neil. His stint at GBeebies destroyed his already sketchy reputation and now he's reliant on Times Radio to keep him relevant (he hopes). Times Radio have him on their YT channel pretty well every day, they obviously love him. I wonder why?
I really must stop watching videos with Andrew Neil in them. He is entitled to his opinions of course but they are just the musings of an old out of touch man. Keir Starmer is reportedly an Atheist but his wife and two children practice the Jewish faith. Friday evenings are when families come together to celebrate the welcoming of Shabbat.
Sunak has again made a huge misjudgement here .. he is not fit to be Prime Minister and I look forward to the day he is charged with misconduct in public office. Sunak taking part in activities known as "partygate" were unforgivable and his subsequently being fined was shocking to the Uk public.
Has anyone ever seen politics so bad in the past 50 years ? the calibre of mp's is down the drain.
I don't buy this. Starmer was so good in his last role as a lawyer he was knighted for services to the country.
Since then he's taken Labour from a crushing defeat to probable crushing victory in a single term.
He's literally one of the best Britons alive. Just because he's not very charismatic he's a "bad candidate".
We saw with Boris what a charismatic man does as PM
You ain't seen nothing yet!
👁👃👁 time for change Reform 🇬🇧
I wonder if ANY journalists are willing to ponder just what would happen if Starmer and the Labour Party actually manage to deliver anything close to what their stated ambitions suggest?
Demonstrating trustworthy behaviour with high standards
Beginning to rebuild public services for the benefit of citizens
A stable political environment that promotes growth and investment
No journalist on a Murdoch outlet would be allowed to make such speculation.
The more Labour MPs … the more time they spend infighting … the less they get done
When Starmer says he will make “people” richer … He means; … immigrants.
Lets get flatulent farage into the house of commons so we can all see him for who and what he truly is!!!…❤
Yes - with pint in hand!
Never voting Labour never voting Tories. Voting Redorm UK to save our country
"Voting Redorm UK to save our country"
1) Farage plans to sell the NHS to American health companies
2) Farage plans to do away with public services so he can cut taxes for rich people
3) Farage plans to do away with inheritance tax so rich kids who've never done a day's work in their lives can live a life of luxury.
4) Farage plans to do as he's told by V Putin. Not very patriotic.
5) Farage plans to blow up the economy so everyone's mortgage payments will double or treble.
Not exactly saving the country is it?
Vote Reform and kick them both out!
Vote Reform to give Farrage a nice little earner, he cares about nothing else
@keithewright both Kier and Rishi are multi-millionaires?
Starmer took £46,000 in personal hospitality last year you think they are any different?
@@BenJ2020 Farrage complained vecause his millionaires bank account was closed down. Is he any different?

Unlike Starmer and Rishi proclaiming to be from working class backgrounds.

The country needs common sense & integrity, attributes sadly lacking in the Lib/Lab/Con uniparty. Reform is the only way forward now.
Times Radio has gone woke. Woke gone mad

Could you explain woke to me? 😊

@@bearimo2867 we've have got a vegetarian here why don't people like you respect common sense?
Is that because there was briefly a woman on the screen?
Starmer doesn't seem to have a clue about anything and with every utterance he puts his foot in it. He will make an atrocious PM. I despair. Be prepared for the Country to deteriorate even more. No plan B? Or A.
I can not see any appeal to vote for him or his party, he's as good as a wet box of matches, just can't find a good thing at all, i realy don't think he is going to get as big a majority as they say.
Yes let's stick with the Tories 😂
@@WilliamThomas-dz1fs No one is saying that.
Starmer has a very simple plan. Asks what would the Tories do? Then do exactly the opposite. Havent you worked that out yet?
