I can’t believe how the quality of the people running our country has sunk to such a low level that they use the very notion of rejoining the EU as an insult. I genuinely to my own shame and regret voted for Brexit. All we did was vote to make ourselves worse off. Why is the very notion of rejoining so laughable to these absolute clowns?! 🤡
don't feel bad about voting for Brexit, many many people did. Most people now have the sense to see that it was a mistake, unlike the people in government.
Don’t beat yourself up too much. If David Cameron hadn’t told the civil service not to plan for a leave vote because remain were going to win the referendum we’re going to win the referendum the day we wouldn’t be in such a mess. It appears we shouldn’t have trusted that our politicians and leaders actually had the intelligence and the competence to manage the task of leaving the EU. And the EU isn’t doing too well either. Immigration is causing people to move right because the politicians are not listening. And Germany is in recession partly because it turns out most of Merkel migrants are not working and have no intention of working. …..I could go on. Ursula’s comment |joke the other day about the uk rejoining was because they need our money but we ain’t got any! But don’t worry they’ll only cook the books to ensure we are able to join like they always do.
Don't let that get in the way of the tiresome denigration of the only realistic alternative to Sunak and another election cycle of the Tories. I get it, Starmer is nowhere near as left, let alone progressive, as many of us would like him to be, but there's enough to attack him on without making shit up and it would be good if we could hold off a bit until the current lot have been turfed out of government.
I am no fan of Starmer, but it seems quite a basic observation to know that the Rwanda Program will be cancelled by Labour only Politics JOE can totally misreport the opposite position!
It is only for 100 people, we have to accept Rwandan immigrants and has cost £140m. Of course he's going to repeal it, it's the worse contract I've ever seen
Ava sums up the mental health issues perfectly. There are a large amount of people who are suicidal that need the help and support required however there is a larger number of people who are suffering from mental health issues in that grey area where there not doing great but aren’t suicidal and if these areas aren’t addressed then mental health is going to become a bigger crisis than it already is
We have to pay the NHS surcharge while applying for the visa. It's computed per year of stay. Mind, we pay for it before knowing if our visa is approved. Then refunded if visa is declined. I'm on a student visa and working in the healthcare sector. Since this news came about, there's been distress within the facitilities. We love our jobs caring for people. We had to prove our skills more than our local counterparts( who are as good). People have to remember we're not hands taking away from the work, but hands providing additional care for those who need it in our service. People, and those comfortable in their parliamentary seats, don't realise how much they contribute and sacrifice. Ex. Intl student fee is double to triple with no bursary. We have to consider exchange rates. Each move we make has to consider if there are additional intl fees or if we need additional documents we pay the government for. Not all of us moved here for a better life but because we just wanted a change. The way legal migrants are being used as political pawns for the next elections is, to say the least, so dehumanising. Politics exists everywhere on this scale. The lack of understanding of the people on the ground level, appaling how they don't even pretend to empathise anymore.
I desperately hope the UK's political class is forced to change its position before we lose good people like you. I don't support these actions and very much appreciate people doing the work you do.
On the point about MH and talk to a mate. I'm in a place were I'm doing 'okay' but my mental health is terrible and I need lots of help. The problem with talk to a mate is my mental illness makes that so difficult and traumatic to even think about opening up to close friends. I've had therapy and counselling during my life and it's the only thing that helped because I was talking to a qualified stranger who I knew didn't have a personal stake in my mental health which helps so much in my being able to actually open up and talk about stuff that scares me.
Starmer is on record, explicitly stating that he would scrap the Rwanda plan. he said (almost verbatim) 'even if the scheme is in place and deemed to be working, Labour will scrap it'
One of the issues I don't understand being overlooked by the £38700 figure is that that is substantially below a nurse's wage, (excluding doing a lot of overtime, enhancements, etc. which are not guaranteed and therefore would not be included). Lucky the NHS is notoriously overstaffed; time to trim the fat, Rishi.
I liked Keir's questions a lot and I'm a unionist, but Stephen Flynn is an absolute gem. I would be deeply sad if, post the next general election, we lost his questions in parliament. DEFEND HIM
There are particular issues besides the astonishing suicide rate that have disproportionately or almost solely affected men and boys for quite some time now and are becoming more acute - education attainment gap, homelessness and likelihood of dying at work for example. I don't think "it's covered by someone else" is a particularly good response, nor "it's a sticking plaster solution". How do those criticisms of the position not also apply to the equivalent minister for women? Frankly this dismissiveness is a big problem we have on the left, it opens young men up to dissaffection and feeling like they're alienated which takes them down the manosphere/'alpha male' influencers rabbit hole because those people and groups loudly state "I'm concerned by the issues affecting you". Sometimes even just a gesture like a minister for men can have an important impact.
I don't think it's "dismissive". The Tories have tried to use men's mental health as a complete point scoring exercise, when it's obvious they couldn't give a toss about anyones mental health. No one's denying the stats. The stats are shocking, but the only solution I've seen anyone offer for mens mental health is "it's okay to talk guys." I genuinely think the actual issues are being avoided to make it another culture wars issue that we can all argue about. It's not like the "minister for men" is suddenly gonna decrease these horrific figures, I think that needs genuine systematic change in the mental health sector, and the workplace. No one in power actually wants that though, they just wanna virtue signal that they care so much about men (when they obviously don't, especially if you're working class). If people care about mens mental health, fund the criminally underfunded mental health system. But they won't. Because they don't really care.
As an NZ doctor I can say that our system is pretty similar to the UK you can got private but very rarely does it happen but the hours are way worse. Every week we do 1-2 14/15H shifts and thats just expected. We currently have massive deficits in doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and allied heatlh.
Regarding the NHS "Honesty Box". Everyone has an NHS number, assigned at birth (or at first visit to GP) which shows if they are a UK citizen or not (among other things). this allows GPs and the NHS and everyone else to share data about you without having to have a copy of all records each. The NHS already has "Paying Patients" teams in each trust who are in charge of extracting money from overseas patients who may owe it. they are woefully underfunded as normally it costs more to get the money than you would be getting. no one goes untreated in an emergency. it's always an after-the-fact process and only tends to impact people (mostly from America for some reason) who have elective surgery in the UK
Immigration lawyer here. Health surcharge .. It’s paid in advance, so you pay a set amount depending on the duration of your visa. At current rates it’s £624 per year, so a 2.5 year visa will mean you pay £1,560 as a mandatory fee along with the £1,048 application fee. So you pay that full surcharge even if you have end up having no medical treatment for the duration of your 2.5 year visa. So in reality your application fee for a 2.5 year visa (potentially just to stay here with your child or partner) is £2,608. And that’s BEFORE the fees are due to go up. I find the health surcharge a particularly cruel part of our immigration system that isn’t often talked about and I’m glad you mentioned it, even briefly…. but, y’know, get it right, yeah?
Re policing the surcharge - I moved to the UK in 2005 and the very first time I went to A&E five years ago they did ask me for evidence that I was entitled to not pay for NHS services because my NI number is from a range reserved for foreigners. It was a bit weird because my GP never raised this as an issue. They didn't refuse to treat me but told me to return with evidence as soon as possible to avoid getting a bill in the mail.
You pay the NHS surcharge, per year, for the length of your visa, upfront. So it is basically slapped onto your visa fee that you pay for when applying
I looked at the shortage job list, it's huge!! The worst part was that even if the salaries displayed were 80% the full salary, they were so, so low. Salaries in this country are so poor 😭
I think we need a minister of mental health and a minister for communities not a minister for men. Because that’s where mental health issues starts because if our communities are ruined then unemployment is high, productivity is low, education levels are low, children don’t have hobbies to play and learn life lessons, families can’t afford opportunities to live life, health problems are high and talking to a mate about can’t do much other than ‘I’m sorry mate, but go to the doc’. We’re in a pandemic of mental health and communities losing their soul and we need to act now
I agree that mental health is not just a health issue. Oftentimes people having a mental health crisis only get proper help and support when it gets so bad they are a danger to themselves or others, by which time the healthcare system is unable to fully address the multiple issues involved.
My wife is Korean and when we were living in the UK she would receive bills from hospitals after the fact and we would need to send a scan of her resident card to have that bill voided. To try and answer Ava's question on how NHS payment works for foreign nationals.
An interesting person to watch at PMQs is Penny Mourdant. If you watch carefully at this week's Qs you can visibly see her dislike of Sunaks answers, and the dislike of the behaviour of "the boys on the bench". I predict that if there's a change of leadership in the tories Mourdant will win it.
Cool. Looking forward to this. Rishi on toast today - and talking about poor specimens of the male gender - please, Ava - more news of your friend with the poor taste in men. Comedy gold at the end of that Doctor Who/polyamorous show the other day.
Guess the argument RE making big business pay reparations, is that ultimately that cost will just be passed on to customers. Shareholders are never going to be paying for that out of their own pockets or even with their dividends.
O dear Wes Street in was over here glad I missed that. Yes our health system is partially privatised but still has major equity issues - partly due to privatization. Not the answer IMO
Admittedly not the critical topic of the day, but I think noticed you noticed. Why is PMQs on TH-cam streaming through a potato these days. Pretty sure it wasn't 480p a couple of months ago.
A bit of lazy and unchecked research suggests the recording now originates at broadcast quality, but the feed for stream -like TH-cam- is done (of the many parliament feeds) at SD for cost, with upgrades incoming. No argument there’s better things to spend money on than 4K PMQs. Ultimately, ‘shithole’ quality or not, you’ll always be able to hear it.
Regarding the minister for men issue again, you correctly identified a lot of the contributing issues, and as it turns out there is a minister responsible for all of this; The Prime Minister. The mental health epidemic is directly related to total failure this government has been running everyone into the ground to bolster the capital class.
It seems to me Stephen Flynn's attacks on Labour shows the desperation of the SNP to not lose votes to Labour. As for Labour am I mistaken in saying Starmer said he would repeal this Rwanda deal nonsense?
Sunak is so weak. He's like a puppy barking at a group of larger dogs. But he thinks he's one of the big dogs because he's got a nice expensive collar and was groomed in a fancy pet shop.
Put an egg in a glass of water.. if it sinks and either lays flat its really fresh or stands up its still good to eat.. If it floats its no longer fresh. Saves Ava having to eat 6 eggs in one go.
Either there should be a minister for both women and men, or neither. There is a huge empathy gap facing men, a suicide epidemic, in part fuelled by institutional sexism in almost all parts of the government and media.
I don’t hate the idea of a minister for men… though we should probably start the work of providing for men’s mental health by giving any kind of provision for anyone’s mental health at all and reversing the gutting of the NHS.
It's also got to be a little damaging to UK-Rwandan relations to make the Supreme Court repeatedly comment on how unsafe Rwanda is. Even though it's clearly a legally valid position i can't imagine they like having this judgement repeatedly called out by a foreign court?
A men's minister will hopefully protect Men's relationships with their children. From someone who has been through the family court system, we are second-class parents in the eyes of the law, school, social services etc. There are many inequalities specific to men, that the speaker couldn't begin to discuss in a 30-second question. What harm would having a minister for men do? Otherwise, enjoying your content as always.
36:23 The NHS is NOT good at dealing with people with extreme suicidal thoughts - I speak as someone who lost a close friend to suicide where NHS failure was a big contributing factor. I don't believe that this was in any way unusual either.
To be fair Starmer can’t promise to scrap something that’s not actually a legal and legitimate thing at this point. You said Stephen Flynn did well because his question was “ funny “ ? I mean yes it was funny. But it’s not a comedy contest. And why didn’t you talk about how lairy it was today ?
Ed: "Should we have a minister for men?" Eva: "I disagree" *LAURENCE FOX INTENSIFIES* Eva: *Nuanced well-thought out answer* *Laurence Fox weeps in GBNews*
The men's health campaign seems to be a worrying trend. Like Ava said in the past there should not be a distinction in mental health between gender. The only reason woman's mental health has needed a distinction is because they were historically disregarded, ignored or institutionalized with conditions like autism and bipolar. This "men's health" campaign seems to let the Tories control the narrative of public health and I don't like the direction they are taking it.

Starmer has said he would scrap the rwanda plan no matter what
Kia Starmer has said he will scrap the Rwanda policy, even if people are sent to Randa
Starmer is on record, explicitly stating that he would scrap the Rwanda plan. he said (almost verbatim) 'even if the scheme is in place and deemed to be working, Labour will scrap it'
Yo Eva, check yourself! Starmer said ages ago he'd repeal the Rwanda plan, even if it was functioning once he comes into office.
He also said he’d stick by his Labour election pledges and that’s gone oh so well.
One of the issues I don't understand being overlooked by the £38700 figure is that that is substantially below a nurse's wage, (excluding doing a lot of overtime, enhancements, etc. which are not guaranteed and therefore would not be included).

We should concentrate on the shocking mess his own Government has made of Scotland and it's corruption.
Starmer has been pretty clear about scrapping the Rwanda policy if they win the next GE.
There are particular issues besides the astonishing suicide rate that have disproportionately or almost solely affected men and boys for quite some time now and are becoming more acute - education attainment gap, homelessness and likelihood of dying at work for example.

There's now a Minister for Common Sense... when youve got to that point, you might as well have a minister for every social issue.
To get the visa you have to pay the surcharge and the massive fee…
You often have to pay the nhs surcharge when paying for your visa, so you don’t get in if you don’t pay
if labour privatises the NHS, i will not only leave the party, i will for the rest of my life campaign actively against them.
Labour won't do that, but if you campaign against Labour you get the tories. Who will privatise the NHS!
Power to the People. maybe.
Health surcharge is paid in advance for the number of years the migrant has permission to stay in the UK. It is not an honour system.

From someone who has been through the family court system, we are second-class parents in the eyes of the law, school, social services etc. There are many inequalities specific to men, that the speaker couldn't begin to discuss in a 30-second question.
What harm would having a minister for men do?
Otherwise, enjoying your content as always.
Olis gone because he kept talking about people running trains
Transport policy is important

36:23 The NHS is NOT good at dealing with people with extreme suicidal thoughts - I speak as someone who lost a close friend to suicide where NHS failure was a big contributing factor. I don't believe that this was in any way unusual either.
"All fart no poo" perfectly sums up our current political environment, and it stinks!

The truth is, sunak is s secret arsenal fan.
He pays rawanda, then rawanda pays arsenal as a sponsor.
So this is really all arsenal's fault
Can you do some research into who stopped slavery and when and who tried to keep it going
NZ's public health is a joke, frankly. It seems to have a good reputation among those who've never had to use it.
To be fair Starmer can’t promise to scrap something that’s not actually a legal and legitimate thing at this point.
You said Stephen Flynn did well because his question was “ funny “ ? I mean yes it was funny. But it’s not a comedy contest. And why didn’t you talk about how lairy it was today ?
Starmer has promised to scrap it no matter what but it seems like they forgot
love podcast hate nonsense it's Paul Show
first question....is Rishi Sunak actually reading anything?
Ed: "Should we have a minister for men?"
Eva: "I disagree"
*LAURENCE FOX INTENSIFIES*
Eva: *Nuanced well-thought out answer*

Sunak is right, no child will grow up in poverty in this country; cause he changed the criteria for child poverty. Integrity much not.
Can I ask, why you have PepsiCo and Coca-cola products so prominently placed in your videos? Is this a paid product placement?
Like deployed 👍
You two cannot match ollie's delivery on the intro
The men's health campaign seems to be a worrying trend. Like Ava said in the past there should not be a distinction in mental health between gender. The only reason woman's mental health has needed a distinction is because they were historically disregarded, ignored or institutionalized with conditions like autism and bipolar. This "men's health" campaign seems to let the Tories control the narrative of public health and I don't like the direction they are taking it.
