Rory Stewart on the pain of losing to Boris, and near-death experiences in Afghanistan | Unfiltered

- His CV reads like the diary of an eccentric colonial administrator - tutor to princes William and Harry, governor of a province in Iraq during the war, he has walked across Asia, including Afghanistan, delivered vital speeches about hedgehogs in the House of Commons and once upon a time Brad Pitt owned the rights to his life story.
But after being purged from the Conservative Party by Boris Johnson, he had no political home and instead turned back to charity work and podcasting, granting him more influence and wealth than ever before. Our guest today is Rory Stewart.

A tragedy that a man of his erudition and empathy cannot make it as a successful politician which says so much about the moral corruption of our political class
All modern politicians are followers of WEF ideology but, if you read Orwell, you’d know that thought control follows many extremist left wing principles (but also extremist right wing principles too).
This is why, as a slight Segway, you have so many extremely ugly on the inside, or very mediocre looking externally, butch and uncharismatic women in the UK, such as Ava Evans, who mistakenly believe that all men hornily want to rape her, when for 99 percent of men she is a repulsive type.
It might seem a little banal, purile even, to keep drudging up this topic next to other important topics, yet it is something (this tedious, modern, woke battle of the sexes nonsense) for which Politics Joe takes a very ‘WEF’ divide-and-rule stance so it must be dealt with.
Rory Stewart might have a good idea or two, but he, and promotes himself as a type of politician with real human experience, and he may be genuinely be this on some levels. However, as he also says, politics, and ipso facto, the media, is based nearly 100 percent on lies and therefore someone who speaks the truth will be practically an alien in these spheres of society.
My point, from the first paragraph of the above commentary, is not that politicians or social commentators should look a certain way, or anything like that, incidentally, if that is what you have garnered. As the ancient societies said, the external might point to certain internal factors but it may also be a result of genetic luck.
However, we can generally agree that ancient philosophical ideals, such as the Greek philosophical ideal of the externally and internally charismatic and capable being vs a blue haired, obese, smelly, charmless, unable to engage, listen or impress in any way woke toilet seat of a human, are worlds apart.
Since it has been in the news lately, to nonetheless broach the topic, I will make the observation that whenever you come back to the UK from another country, you realise how nearly everyone here, but especially the women, look like charmless tramps, who really are completely unshaggable, as Lawrence Fox got in trouble for saying, not that I’d likely believe every single thing which he believes, and definitely they haven’t been shagged, at least not properly, in months or even years. Nonetheless, this strange modern chimera of a woman is convinced that everyone wants to hornily shag them. I am speaking rather plainly and even in a slightly bawdy way right now, but that is not necessarily a bad thing next to modern political pretence and fibs.
Orwell called this human mind control scenario, where human desirability becomes an area in which a government tries to manipulate perceptions of the masses, the ‘anti sex league’ (for Orwell knew that sex, whilst a nuanced topic, is a sign of freedom and even human power in a generally functional society) where robotic females especially (for Orwell knew that women are more emotional and illogical and hive minded so follow ‘party slogans’ more than men) walk around with blank, charmless, sexless faces with red sashes of sexlessness around their waists and hips believing this makes them above all others.
This thread is not about women and sex, however, since Politics Joe has been in the news lately for this very topic, I will conclude that Orwell was as insightful as ever that women are key footsoldiers of the New World Order owing to their hive minded, easily programmed psychological make up (yes, women also have many relative strengths but that’s a separate topic) and the truth; that genuinely capable women stand by men and engage with them in a non robotic way, for far fewer men are deviants than Epstein Islanders/Politics Joe big wigs/WEF (same clique) tells you and you must study those types in a certain capable way, will not be revealed to you by the mainstream media.
I think it also says something about the moral corruption of the people of our country that they'd rather vote for a blithering idiot of a clown as their PM and of course it shows that FPTP is the worst system a supposedly mature democracy like the UK could possibly have.
theres plenty of time....
I like this man. Wish he would run for London mayor again. I would back his cause.
A person with strong erudition and empathy would go mad 🤪 with boredom if they became a politician, due to how dull the job is, unless you are equally dull.
Plus, with how many connections with managers of businesses, government agencies, and NGOs politicians have via the nature of their job, it is very, very easy to leave.
As a Labour man through and through I have nothing but admiration for Rory. In an age when we've literally got nothing to say, here is a man speaking with insight and conviction all underpinned by an overwhelming sense of decency and respect. In the ridiculous age that is the 21st century, he is a beacon of hope for the better angels of our nature. And a great interview too, you let him talk, well done.
could not agree more, think how much harder it would be to beat the Tory's if Rory was PM
Same brother
I agree with you, but remember he is a Tory and will always vote Tory
tho he stood down as a tory mp @@marythorpe928
Rory you are honorable, decent and respectful man with so much humanity and understanding and self respect and respect for others. What an interview we'll done
This man lost to Borris Johnson 🥴 Says everything we need to know about this country.
People didn’t want an establishment darling whose rumoured to be ex security services.
@@maxpowerii7368 They wanted a criminal liar who's damaged this country more than any other person in living memory. Again says everything you need to know about this country.
@@maxpowerii7368if u think Johnson wasn’t a disaster then you’re a fool
@@maxpowerii7368I think you’re probably right in the sense that people mistook him for more of the same Tory, but they definitely underestimated who he really was
He lost to Johnson but not in a public vote. It was Tory mps and members who fell for bojos nonsense and they have been proven to be utterly clueless again since then with truss and now sunak.
He was my MP. He was the only politician that I've ever had faith in and I'm not a Tory voter.
I didn't agree with all his policies but he was/is a good man with a strong moral compass.
Parliament is worse off without him.
I absolutely don't agree with all his politics - support for austerity being the big one - but I do actually respect him at least and I can imagine he's quite a good local representative.
Should definitely listen to the rest is politics if you don't already.
@@tobyanderson5360 Good point and also good advice. Excellent podcast.
@@sonicwingnut
He voted for austerity because MPs have to vote as the whips say.
@@rogerhudson9732 He's defended austerity multiple occasions on his podcast and this is way after being an MP.
I nearly cried when I heard Rory say about giving aid directly to the needy rather than through these agencies who waste a massive proportion on administration! How wonderful!
We all know it goes on, how refreshing to see that it done this way and work
funny he never proposed this when in government and voted for the cutting of money to the poorest in society........ seriosuly you people need to take more than a 5 minute interest in politics so you stop getting duped
Agreed!
@@Cronhour the problem is he probably proposed within the party and got crucified since there's too much money to be made from aids money.
@@Cronhour You don't know he didn't propose this while in government. Party politics means an internal consensus is reached & then anyone who wants the support of the party in being elected also needs to support whatever the party line is.
If you want to see how it goes for people who aren't prepared to do that, look at how many seats are held by independents.
I'd love to see Rory Stewart re-enter politics. He's intelligent, thoughtful, self-reflective and fundamentally decent. He's also leagues ahead of the total mediocrities who forced him out.
He is best away from politics he can do and say more
" fundamentally decent" nonsense! he's an austerity tory who's fine with poor brits dying to maximise rich corporations profits. You're just falling for his grift
@@Cronhouroozing with prejudice I see
he's no gonny shag you mate
Would ye aye!
This is the calibre we need. People who are intelligent have empathy and are capable of working out difficult situations with self reflection, honesty and respect for their position and their responsibilities
On the contrary. No.
Don't fall for it. Check his voting record as a Tory MP.
@@heypresta he already said he voted in line with the whips. I don't hold right wing views, I was talking about his personality
@@bereal6590 Then he didn't demonstrate integrity or empathy when given a position of power.
He would never admit the real reason why they are so poor when they live in a country of such richness in natural wealth under their feet.
If Rory ran for office, regardless of which political party he represented, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. The world needs more Rorys and an awful lot less of the self serving wankers we currently have calling the shots.
He's a tory. 😂
@@yetidodger6650you're a Tory
@@Snugggg But he's right, Sir/Madame/Mx. Rory Stewart was a member of the Conservatives. Before they became the far-right mess they are now.
So you’d vote for draconian lockdowns, which we now know don’t work, and Net Zero targets, which are a scam that robs the poor and makes the rich very much richer!? Both of which Rory says he supports.
I like Rory’s views on localism as opposed to centralised big government, but he’s either clueless and uninformed, or not vey bright.
He talks about the people in government who can’t possibly have the understanding and expertise to run the different departments. The same then applies to him. There has never been ‘the science’. There has always been different scientific arguments with regard to lockdowns and climate change, yet on both of these issues the government only allows one view- theirs. Rory, it seems, has also fallen into this trap.
yep
As much as I would not vote Conservative, I can only wonder at how much better a country we would be living in if Rory, or people like him were in government.

we had it under Cameron, when Rory was a minister.
dont u remember how terrible it was with cameron & osbournes punitive austerity that led to the avoidable death of hundreds of thousands???
You wouldn’t be voting Conservative then
Why not fighting to change this obsolete Victorian electoral system? Why not supporting changes to this change and not following the agenda of the past?
@@retnox2Still trotting out that lie?
Giving money directly to those who need it bypasses corruption, consultant waste and corporate greed, who would have guessed?
Yes whay a novel concept.
It's a grift and the same message pushed by right wingers for ever.

@@thorinbanenot so.
The grift pushed by right wingers is that giving money to elites and groups near the top of the socio-economic food-chain would somehow result in a trickle down benefit for the economies/societies and citizens 'below' them. Instead it typically resulted in predatory restructuring of those socio-economic ecosystems for the benefit of elites, and using the resulting suffering of those who did not experience the promised benefits in order to justify maintaining flows of wealth from the state into private enterprise; somehow blaming the shortfall on interference from the left, thus mobilizing working classes against their own interests.
They'd pull tricks like suggesting the poverty of the poor is evidence of their inability to responsibly manage money (as opposed to evidence of not having enough money...), and their failure to ingeniously identify and capitalise on some nebulous concept of opportunity as being evidence of that 'the poors' are lazy and wouldn't even know what to do with money if they had it ('probably spend it on a big screen t.v.' - nevermind that it has been relentlessly advertised at them, and is a primary component in engaging with contemporary culture... How dare they...).
He is referring to a form of 'bottom-up' economic stimulus. Even if a number of people abuse it, the amounts are smaller per recipient, and there are far more recipients, so the overall effect on outcome is negligible. And with almost no overhead to admin, compliance checks and intermediary consultation, etc., you can easily cancel out the impact of those suboptimal applications of resources by recipients. And even if someone decides to go buy drugs with that money, they were probably going to do that anyway, but now they probably have money for food still... Or maybe the drug dealer goes and spends more money at the local businesses since they had a flush week... The main thing is that money is moving around and changing hands...
I agree wholly with the concept but (and there is a but) giving people large redundancy payments after the close of steel left many people with no financial understanding investing in rip off schemes or trying to set up businesses without understanding the nightmarish administrative stuff- employment, tax and insurance are just the start - that can lead to a loss of everything. Maybe if you give to existing businesses. Ok they can expand but to everyone, without equipping them with skills to navigate the system is a recipe for heartbreak and exploitation
This man should have been PM not Boris. I'm not a Tory but I've always admired Rory.
Sums up the Tories that they chose the liar Johnson over Stewart, sheer madness.
I was new to the country, watched the conservative leadership debates & thought he was the only one out of the entire line-up speaking any amount of sense.
Naively I believed this gave him a fair shot against Bojo the Clown, but he didn't even make close to runner-up out of that lineup of muppets. Which tells you all you need to know about the Conservative party, and the type of people who make up their membership.

Look at his voting record before piling on praise
@@commonsense9176
The only recent MP who didn't toe the party line on 99% of votes was Corbyn, who voted against his own Party around 50% of the time. That's why he was such a waste as Leader, nobody within the House of Commons Labour Party trusted him.
PM's are different to MP's. As PM you get to set the policies and defy your MP's to vote against, under threat of expulsion.
Stewart in on his arse politically because he did vote against when push came to shove.
Politics is not a game where you get to do what you want, unless you are setting the agenda.
@@rorykeegan1895 give me an mp to vote for the people he represented than a yes man
"I came across a corpse with plastic bags on his hands and a face that had been eaten by birds, and it was at that point I realised this crossing was tougher than I was quite ready for". Classic British understatement right there.
*RORY STEWART AND GORDON BROWN* should be ministers for political reform under a Starmer government.
because they're 3 austerity tories?
Not in Starmer’s government.
G.B. is no austerity Tory
G.B. is behind some of Starmer's policies for reform.
An interesting idea.
We need people like him back in politics.
No we don't, all his decisions in politics have been disasters. He's a decent person and he deserves better for himself doing something he is better at. There is a role for people that hold politicians to account which is a space in UK politics with lots of room to expand. I think he is better suited at that.
What, a privileged Etonian? I really don't think so.
🎯
no, this is performative,. He voted for and was complicit in all the standard big business extrative tory shit when her had power, you're just falling for his grift, he's the tory alistair campbell in that regard. People grifting pretending to be against the politics they spend decades facilitating without the acknowledgment of their mistakes.

I'm no Tory whatsoever but I would have been proud to have Rory represent us as Prime Minister
Rory's story about giving directly: On a vastly smaller scale, when working as a Lock Keeper I asked the Area manager to pay for some flowers to fill the neglected flower beds. Instead he spent £250 of the company's money getting an assessment/design done. Nothing materialised so after several months I spent £50 of my own money and planted seeds over the whole lock. Over a year later I got reimbursed after the company saw the results.
Lesson: it's the Admin that wastes the money.
So typical of our NeroLib times.
Omg, am balling listening to the story of his dog, that's heartbreaking. Animals show more loyalty than most people. Rotten that happened
The fact he can keep composed even years later and fire onto the next question was incredibly impressive
@@enemystand2981 deffo. You can tell how much it upsets him and the regret over not being there.
Who are you balling
My cat once save my life. I've moved into a new villa with a wood-burning stove, just been installed. I woke up with the cat clawing at my face and I couldn't see my hand in front of my face with the light on the entire house was filled with thick, choking smoke. You think you will wake up with the smoke chocking you but you don't.
The cat clawed me to wake me up, and then I followed it down the stairs on my hands and knees opened all the windows and doors. The flu had not been installed correctly and something a drop-down inside and blocked it. The fire backed up and was filling the house with smoke out of the great..
The entire house needed cleaning and repainting, I don't think my lungs have ever totally recovered. Ive never really been a cat person, but Wuster was special...
There’s tennis balling and there’s boo-hoo bawling and ne’er the twain shall meet .
Rory Stewart, the best Prime Minister we never had
Thank you Rory for such an open and moving talk.
Thanks also to politics joe for the interview.
Please, please, please get involved in politics again Rory.
It really seems that the country has got lost on a lost, lonelywinter walk.
Deep respect, Tim
you complain about the state of this country and then back the likes of this neoliberal Tory whose policies are responsible?! If so…people like you are complicit with the Tories and just as bad.
@timharris5948 not so much a lonely winters walk more like stuck in sinking sand, getting sucked down. I lived through the 70's & 80's, Thatcher etc, never have I been so despairing or had so little choice about my future. Nowhere to rent for a reasonable rent, struggling to pay bills, health system in utter crisis. Shit, it's never been this bad. To cap it all a bunch of mindless fascists in power and an opposition led by Rupert The Bear with thumb up his arse & his mind in neutral.

My point, from the first paragraph of the above commentary, is not that politicians or social commentators should look a certain way, or anything like that, incidentally, if that is what you have garnered. As the ancient societies said, the external might point to certain internal factors but it may also be a result of genetic luck.

Since it has been in the news lately, to nonetheless broach the topic, I will make the observation that whenever you come back to the UK from another country, you realise how nearly everyone here, but especially the women, look like charmless tramps, who really are completely unshaggable, as Lawrence Fox got in trouble for saying, not that I’d likely believe every single thing which he believes, and definitely they haven’t been shagged, at least not properly, in months or even years.

Orwell called this human mind control scenario, where human desirability becomes an area in which a government tries to manipulate perceptions of the masses, the ‘anti sex league’ (for Orwell knew that sex, whilst a nuanced topic, is a sign of freedom and even human power in a generally functional society) where robotic females especially (for Orwell knew that women are more emotional and illogical and hive minded so follow ‘party slogans’ more than men) walk around with blank, charmless, sexless faces with red sashes of sexlessness around their waists and hips believing this makes them above all others.
This thread is not about women and sex, however, since Politics Joe has been in the news lately for this very topic, I will conclude that Orwell was as insightful as ever that women are key footsoldiers of the New World Order owing to their hive minded, easily programmed psychological make up (yes, women also have many relative strengths but that’s a separate topic) and the truth; that genuinely capable women stand by men and engage with them in a non robotic way, for far fewer men are deviants than the child raping WEF tells you and you must study those types in a certain capable way, will not be revealed to you by the mainstream media.
I cannot remember another politician who has caused such sadness at his departure from Westminster. It's hardly surprising that Boris Johnson and the Tory party let this man go.
Rory Stewart is a constant reminder that there ARE people out there who have the empathy, common sense, curiosity, life experience, tenacity and simple humility to inspire a country in order to try and make things work.
Whenever I see he giving a lecture, or being interviewed, I actually take the time and trouble to sit down and LISTEN TO HIM. That's probably why I've NEVER seen him trying to cover his own back when giving his opinion on any subject.
There is a parallel universe where this man became PM in 2019, we are not that lucky...
Maybe he'll make a comeback!
If only we had a government with people of Rory's calibre. He's not like the others, and that's why he's not there. In the UK or the UN, we need Rory in some capacity.
@@FartyMcFartypants590 Yes, you're bang on the money there, but let's not also forget that the lib-dems had no small role in lubricating the passage of said austerity laws through onto the statute book...which a decade later, has left the country broken and in ruins. Think about that, people when you're at the ballot box, thinking "I can't bring myself to vote labour, so I'll vote lib-dem. NO ONE has clean hands when it comes to broken Britain. Certainly not anyone in the 2010-2015 coalition. I'm no labour apologist, I find Starmer a BITTER, BITTER disappointment!!! 😵💫😨 PS I love your handle!
All modern politicians are followers of WEF ideology but, if you read Orwell, you’d know that thought control follows many left wing principles (but also extremist right wing principles too).
This is why, as a slight Segway, you have so many extremely ugly on the inside, or very mediocre looking externally, butch and uncharismatic women in the UK, such as Ava Evans, who mistakenly believe that all men hornily want to rape her, when for 99 percent of men she is a repulsive type.
It might seem a little banal, purile even, to keep drudging up this topic next to other important topics, yet it is something (this tedious, modern, woke battle of the sexes nonsense) for which Politics Joe takes a very ‘WEF’ divide-and-rule stance so it must be dealt with.

@FartyMcFartypants590 He explains in another interview you can't vote against the party whilst a minister without resigning, so it was always a balancing act between staying in a position to motivate change and supporting policy you may or may not agree with.
He is dead right about needing a new type of politics. We all know it is broken.
cracking interview, a tory with a integrity and a backbone, how refreshing
There aren’t many of them, and he left so now there’s one less.
I'm not sure he's a Tory any more, I mean that in a good way.
He has a backbone on the face of heavy fire. He's no coward.
His backbone when it comes to standing up against the tide of awful that was austerity a bit less so - but it's clear it wasn't cowardice (and he absolutely agreed with some of it, let's not whitewash it) but he really just wanted to stay on where he could influence. He eventually realised he was influencing nothing and the madness was just getting madder.
So hes brave, also naive, but ultimately he's quite wise and certainly smarter in the way he thinks than the party he left behind.
Hes really the only Tory-at-heart I could ever see myself voting for as my MP, put it that way, because although he wasnt able to influence things much, we're all better off with people of his calibre in That Place than leaving it to the vultures.
In my opinion.
Note the number of labour MPs I'd vote for is vanishingly small also. I'd vote for Hillary Benn all day for instance but so many of his colleagues come across as just as weaselly as the Tories do.
Can we just give Hillary Benn, Caroline Lucas and Rory Stewart some power of veto over policy?
Like, anytime those three agree something is a bad idea I can lrobbaly guarantee you that indeed it is. I don't necessarily want them making policy but vetting it? Absolutely.
I lost faith in and gave up on politics a long time ago. Watching this interview, I wish we had more people like this in government. The fact that someone like him could lose to someone like Johnson in any world is the reason I still have no faith in politics.
My thoughts exactly.
I understand completely what you are saying but I don't think any of us has the luxury of giving up. The current Government acts with absolute impunity, even when their corruption has been publicly exposed. The more complacent or resigned the electorate is, the more corrupt politicians like it. We have to keep trying; at least that way, they know their actions are being watched and may have consequences later down the line.
the story of his dog is utterly heartbreaking.
having read his books and listened to his podcasts and interviews like this, honestly, the UK would be in such a different place now as to be nearly unimaginable had he won that leadership contest. it is actually a tragedy. it makes me even angrier about what's happened since BJ became PM knowing how things might have been so different.
I have a lot of time for this guy. For a politician he actually sounds sincere and reflective!
check his voting record, is all i would say, he supported some appalling tory policies but he sells himself well
That's pretty interesting. An example... he voted against slowing the rise of rail fares

Rory was referring to being a military governor of a foreign country, not an experienced minister seeking election in his own country.
Rory is a real authentic thoughtful person.
Rory is a breath of fresh air… we desperately need people like him in politics now and not the nasty chancers we are saddled with. Rory for prime minister!
The main thing I like about this gentleman is the way he is constantly re learning and refining his approach. A deep thinker too good to be swallowed up by some grubby political party. He has enlightened me on the middle ground and I know a good few people from left and right politics who respect Rory Stewart. Thanks PoliticsJOE ! all the best
meh. His career has shown he is exceptionally good at re-inventing himself. What you are currently seeing is him reinventing himself once again, and erasing some of his more right-wing past self - e.g. making up excuses for his right-wing voting record when he was in power, gradually winding back his previous full-on support for austerity, etc, etc. I think he comes across as a very good and thoughtful speaker, but his past actions simply don't tally with his current words. It's just rebranding before he goes back into politics in some form imo.
A joy to listen to this intelligent man
A genuinely caring and thoughtful person. Politics doesnt deserve him. Always fascinating, respectful and funny.
Rory...please come back into British politics! You are the kind of principled politician that we need so desperately.

Politics Joe does a very good interview in this video.😊
The more I listen to this guy, the more I am impressed. He is sensible, intelligent, knowledgeable, caring and honest. No wonder he was kicked out of office as a politician.
This interview should be on mainstream TV.
fact that Rory had to leave politics because of how awfully inept the people and system is says all you need to know about how completely mismanaged our public life has become
Or the voting systems for deciding new leaders
the people he spent years supporting? would you like to buy a bridge?

I can't help but admire this gentleman.
I can listen to this guy for hours
I find him so interesting to listen to. Such a different life experience but I feel he really cares and has a good and wise approach to life
This is way more interesting than the title would suggest.
Edit: They've changed the title!! My comment sits here out of context now, but I'm glad because the new one does more justice to this fascinating interview. What an incredible life and a dire shame we ended up with such a monstrous buffoon of a PM instead of someone like this who appears to genuinely have all the honour and integrity we need in our politicians. I would actually Vote Tory for Rory. There's a slogan for ya! Can we bring this man back into politics, please?! 🙏
These are the humans we need in government.
As a socialist I feel that I have more in common with Rory Stewart than I do with Kier Starmer. If Rory ever returns to politics and became the leader the Conservatives, I think I would vote for him.
Don't be taken in by this grifter. If he had a conscience he would not be a Tory. Look at his voting record when he was in office. He is as dishonest as the rest of them.
lmaooo
Ikr
He will never return to the tory party. It has nothing to offer a man of intelligence
check his voting record this video is meant to make you think that a moderate tory is ok
He's certainly on the right track. Sadly, the main way that Rory's politics falls apart is this idea of 'simple government,' and the idea that government shouldn't touch peoples lives. The problem we're having in the UK is that there is no regulation where there should be some. Paradoxically, he wants small businesses to flourish, but there is no regulation of commercial rates in this country, and high streets have died as a result. There is no regulation of the private property market, which is why renters are constantly getting squeezed. There is no regulation for lobbying government and no punishment for lying to the people, and that's why all the politicians are in the pockets of corporations. The country is a lot more complex since the time of 'simple government,' and we've learned that sadly people cannot be trusted to self govern. The removal of regulations just leads to exploitation of the system, and his Conservative colleagues have demonstrated that perfectly.
I could listen to Rory all day.....this has been so interesting.
An incredible human being.
Definitely isn't
Restores faith in human nature to listen to him didn't think there were any left like him.
I have nothing but respect for this true gentleman. He speaks eloquently with respect and knowledge, such a rarity these days.
Hah, described him bang on, liek some eccentric colonial administrator. I've always felt like Rory is the typical example of what a good british statesman used to be. Someone that had spent time governing a colonial region, understands the region, has proper grasp of geo-politics etc.
He thought it was bad for the
He thought it was bad for the
Well, some of them might have been good, but the whole point of colonialism was to extract our resources and destroy our economies.
Heseltine and Stewart are the only Tories worth listening too.
And Ken Clarke
I think Michael Portillo is a great TV presenter on the history shows he's done... wouldn't listen to a word he has to say about politics, but he's got a good on camera persona and his passion for history really comes through. Shame he had to get into politics, really.
Ken Clarke, the best PM we never had ...
Best Prime Minister we never had.
I think British Politics is poorer without him. He genuinely cared about making a difference as an MP. People in the Prison Services have nothing but good things to say about him while he was Prisons Minister. He has fascinating insights on his Podcast with Alistair. I hope he goes for London Mayor in the future as an Independent. I think he would do really well and change lives for the better.
There is a reason his podcast is so successful. As a man from the north east I could never vote conservative but I could certainly support this man.
I feel so excited about Rory potentially coming back into the field. I volunteered to help with his Mayor candidacy but alas Covid
What a wonderful, inspiring interview. Someone who has integrity and intelligence. All values completely lacking in this present , mediocre government. A future statesman perhaps...??
Future statesman possibly as he is an Etonian elite. Don't forget to buy his book!

Orwell called this human mind control scenario, where human desirability becomes an area in which a government tries to manipulate perceptions of the masses, the ‘anti sex league’ (for Orwell knew that sex, whilst a nuanced topic, is a sign of freedom and even human power in a generally functional society) where robotic females especially (for Orwell knew that women are more emotional and illogical and hive minded so follow ‘party slogans’ more than men) walk around with blank, charmless, sexless faces with red sashes of sexlessness around their waists and hips believing this makes them above all others.
This thread is not about women and sex, however, since Politics Joe has been in the news lately for this very topic, I will conclude that Orwell was as insightful as ever that women are key footsoldiers of the New World Order owing to their hive minded, easily programmed psychological make up (yes, women also have many relative strengths but that’s a separate topic) and the truth; that genuinely capable women stand by men and engage with them in a non robotic way, for far fewer men are deviants than Epstein Islanders/Politics Joe big wigs/WEF (same clique) tells you and you must study those types in a certain capable way, will not be revealed to you by the mainstream media.

I'm sure he fought his Mum & Dad to a standstill not to be sent to Eton. He would have told them that "40 years from now this choice of yours is going to undermine my career", eh?
Every Eton boy I have ever met, be they a PM or a jewel thief, share one thing in common. A decent education.
@@rorykeegan1895 yes and a contempt for the working class
Well done for the frequent mentions of the book title Rory, Mr Campbell will be proud of you 😂
Oh my goodness, hes saying exactly what I've been wanting to hear from Labour leadership. Clear, articulate ideas for moving our country forward. Yes please.
@ just shows what a clever - though wide-eyed , politician he really is. He’ll never have to prove anything. Just dislodge Starmer. That’s his brief. ±
I attended an Electoral Reform Society (Scotland) event a couple of weeks ago, where Lesley Riddoch spoke about the need for very much more localism using the examples of the Eigg community and local government in the Faroes & Norway. Very close to what Rory is saying, but from a centre-left/Scottish Independence perspective. She had little confidence in any of the mainstream parties, and that includes the SNP here delivering, yet she believes the party that runs with it would be on a winner.
The problem with this book is that it's a book. People don't read books. Doesn't matter how important the message is. It would have to be made in to a documentary and shown on primetime for significant numbers of people to actually get the message.
The story about his dog as he lay in the snow is incredible
i have the enduring sense that not a single person in any US government position of any influence whatsoever knows anything like this about anywhere in the world,
over which they and their friends exercise enormous influence.
Probably the best PM we never had. Excellent interview, thanks
Dogs can bond to your soul like no other with their unpredjudiced loyalty...I feel Rory Stewart's pain at losing his...very adjacent but still very different to a family loss...
Story about the dog had me close to tears!
One of the best interviewers and one of the best public servants in one place.
Brilliant. Poignant conversation and well thought out. I feel as though I've found someone who has done a lot of the mental heavy lifting for me.
I was so sad when he lost to Boris. Genuinely think he'd be a great breath of fresh air in government.
What a great guy, I would vote for him.
The man Rory Stewart is a light to follow in a very barren world I could listen to him all day, RESPECT
100% Spot on! Thank you so much for sharing the truth!
This is exactly why we need people outside of government, so to give a realistic and untied picture of our governmental reality.
Love and respect Rory. Such a thoughtful, perceptive, humble intelligent man. We need him as our leader. Wish he'd stand for PM.
I'd vote for this man immediately.
I have massive respect for this man . Please come back !
I don't agree with his political views, as he is still a Tory, but yes, I can absolutely respect him. He is decent and has integrity.
Whether Rory is Conservative or not at least he can realise when things don’t work.That has much more to do with his honesty and ability.His direct approach to Aid is the opposite of the reason why the Public shy away from giving to charity,they think their donation will get lost in admin and it does.
I've never voted Tory in my life, and never would, but if most Tory MPs were like Rory I would have respect for their party.
Sadly, because they're nothing like him, I detest them and all the suffering and damage they've inflicted on this country.
In a fptp system there have to be at least two decent parties who will do their best in the national interest otherwise there is no true democracy.
At the moment our only hope is that the Libs or the Greens will take the Tories' place as official opposition party and the Tories lose their support completely.
I could listen to Rory all day
What a stunning interview. Thanks both. The cycle of blame chimed with me in my current workplace, it's insane!
This guy keeps it real. Would love to see him back in politics. People like Sunak and Johnson live in la la land and have ruined the country.
*I LIVE IN BURGAS BULGARIA* we have a very decentralised system of government here, where local mayors and local authorities have got a lot of power tax, raising authority, and it works amazingly well.
I've lived here, 15 years, the transformation in this city in 15 years because we have a good mayor is absolutely astonishing. We also have a flat rate tax system. All forms of income and wealth are taxed at 10% doesn't matter what accountant you get what column you put it in. You're gonna pay 10% so don't bother supercheap to collect. And benefits are not means tested, so they're super cheap to distribute.
I'm not saying things are perfect, but it's a lot better than the UK
Very interesting, thanks for sharing, I will be reading up on this I think
One question, when you say wealth, do you mean an actual wealth tax at 10% pa? Or just an income tax? A wealth tax at 10% would solve a lot of problems in a lot of societies, but it's very difficult to implement politically (and administratively for that matter) thanks!
@@Muzikman127 Any REALISED wealth I believe it is. Ive never been wealthy enough for it to count LOL. If you buy a house for £100k and sell it for £200k you have to pay £10k, [you might even have to pay £20k] if you make £50k on shares you have to pay £5k. You make £10k on dividends you have to pay £1k.
If you earn £10k in a low paid job you have to pay £1k. If you make £100k in a high paid job - £10k.
The low paid person gets a REBATE.
The point is, there is no loophole anywhere in the system, except absolute corruption. You can't put it into a different column and save money. The result is, it's incredibly cheap to collect the tax and Tax evasion of the British kind is almost non-existent.
No one ever rings the tax office with the tax query, because the answer is 10%.
@@piccalillipit9211 I used to work in HMRC, answering the phone. We had callers who would talk you to death, going through every caveat and loophole, that according to them meant we were wrong and they owed us nothing. I'd love to have said 'What part of 10% do you not understand?'
Really interesting comment
Rory pointing out the toxic mixture between government, media and banks. Finally.
Goodness, that story about the death of his dog is tragic.
The fact Brad pit owned the rights to his life is mad
That completely spun me, I can't lie.
He is a truly amazing person, the more you learn about his life. It's just absolutely insane that he's managed to do all the things he's done.
@@piccalillipit9211 what a lucky person though, to get to do all he has done. Really shows the difference in what sort of life you get dependent on what class and circumstances and nation you're born into. He has been very lucky but at least he hasn't squandered it so I give him quodos for that
@@bereal6590 I 100% agree. Everyone should have the opportunity to BE Rory Stewart. Now I dont want to brag, but I have led a pretty amazing life, but every time I wanted to do an adventure I had to sell my house to fund it and Im now 53 and renting.
AND even that option is not available to young people today...!!!
not his life but his life story, to be clear
Rory Stewart is an example to us all. I wish I had even a tiny fraction of his qualities.
Those qualities are in there somewhere
The Tories really do have a death wish , they get rid of people like Rory and others who one could argue were talented .
Now they've left themselves void of any talent whatsoever and filled their ranks with chancers grifters and just plain crooks in suits .
If this man became prime minister I think I might start to believe that there is hope for this country. We need change and we need massive change. Our current politicians don’t seem to have a clue and are led by the those that make the most noise and this is often a minority group. His ideas make so much sense.
Ollie and Rory love-in; I'll get a brew.
This man would be singing a very dufferent tune if he was pm,thats a cast iron guarantee.
I’m with you all the way. Keep going Rory.
What a fantastic episode. PoliticsJoe can typically be a bomb throwing wild ride with a plethora of hot takes and drinks. This was refreshing. I don’t agree with a lot of Rory Stewart’s politics. But I think I understand better where they come from. Thank you.
Great interview. Excellent questions and engaging dialogue. Thank you for putting this out.
Excellent discussion. One decent human being. If only we had more people like Rory Stewart.
I've been saying this about the distribution of money for decades. Nobody listens. He's just simply and totally correct
An excellent interview .Having been in Iraq I can honestly say well said Mr Stewart .US & UK messed up big time ..He is too good for Westminster...
The rahbar made it worse. He turned it into a vassal like he did with Lebanon and Syria.
Brilliant interview with a brilliant man. Politically we aren’t on exactly the same… or maybe we are. He’s not so polarised, like so many these days, there are many subjects I can agree with him on. Fascinating.
What a brilliant interview
Thank for being so honest ad giving insights in Afghanistan which my wife and I have had experience with the politics.
