"the first country to put economic sanctions on itself." priceless and perfect and sad.
We did that voting for Brexit
Either that of have your culture slip away. Most people would rather give up their wealth than give up their country.
@@martynblackburn9632 ha…haha…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@@martynblackburn9632 when you look back and say, "our ancestors made Britain what it is," remember that they were French. :D Or get learning Welsh or Irish if you really love what it is to be a Brit!
@@Checobeep Or maybe 'Beowulf' in its original old English or possibly Danish. Strictly (to use a term from another O'Brien snippet today) there is very little Norman blood in the English, let alone British, gene pool. The Normans were were just Vikings who had settled in North-Western France anyway.
Incidentally if ever 'debating' with a Brexiteer and they start talking about 'our' culture just start talking about history, genes, and ask them how much they enjoy Northumbrian pipe music. Then watch their eyes glaze over and face turn an alarming shade of purple.
This must be the first time Johnson pulled out of anything 😂😂
Weve all heard that joke
@@23bobjr Still true!
A bit cheeky but I like it!!
@@23bobjr his ex wives/mistresses have, and they certainly aren’t laughing
No. He pulled out contesting with Michael Gove some years back. He’s an idiot.
Boris is, "a man who waits to see which way the crowd is running, and then runs out in front of them shouting 'follow me!'" - Lord Heseltine.
Haha lol.
Spot on but the idiots still think he’s the man 😂😂😂
Perfect 👌
And this time firstly Sunak and then Mordaunt told him to sling his hook.
I take absolutely no pleasure in thinking that might have hurt his poor, delicate, fragile ego. None at all ...
Blair said that about Hague in 1999.
In all this Tory chaos, don't forget a man who wore a name badge pretending to be someone else to promote a 'get rich quick' scheme has been appointed Home Secretary!
I think James recently referred to him at ‘The Spiv’s Spiv’ which I thought was brilliant.
Mills and bour
Ah yes Grunt Schlapps or whatever name he's going by at the moment.
Haha lol.
It means he's qualified to know who not to let into the country
Tories:-the cream of society. Rich. Thick. And full of clots.
and very bad for your health. and if left to stay for too long, begins to stink and becomes very dangerous and must be binned immediately.
A would replace thick by ruthless or self servant
And containing nothing of any real use to the basic human needs?
I couldn't tell whether James was about to laugh or cry at one point. And that's the current mood of the country.
We are all on overload with the Tories.
I'm guessing there are days that Mr O'Brien wishes he didn't have to get out of bed.
It’s what defines being British. Laughing instead of wailing in adversity.
@@audreymcgready4329 ...aren't we just
@@davidanderson6100 ...I think most of us probably feel like that
I honestly can't believe they were actually considering putting Boris Johnson back in there as PM. 🤦🏿♂️
They would put Lebedev, the Queen and even Putin on the Throne if it suits their goals of destroying the country.
Nothing is unbelievable with the Tories.
I ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT...THEY STILL ARE...JUST WATCH THE WANKERS QUEUEING UP FOR HAND OUTS...THEY WILL SIMPLY CHANGE HORSES...AND WILL STILL HAVE THEIR GRABBING LITTLE PAWS OUT...READY!
@Paul Conway Brexit is a Disaster & a Vaccine was coming Boris Johnson or NO Boris Johnson...Try Again.
@Paul Conway what was "done"?
He jumps on the first available plane, like it was the last flight out of Kabul. Gets booed by his fellow passengers "probably forgot one of his kids in the mad rush, but not the duty free". Gets to England and told by Tory MP
"F**k off Boris" and then tells the press he easily got a 100+ backer's, but he decided to do the
honourable thing for the sake of the party. "but I'll probably be PM in a year or two" hint! hint!. I wonder why the world is laughing at Britain.
...not really...countries have their own issues and aren't interested in our problems....we are insignificant...

He's the Ronnie O' Sullivan of politics. If he doesn't win he's not playing anymore.
@@chatham43 we provide the comic relief for them. Their politicians say “yes it’s bad, but it could be worse. It could be Britain”.
..wrong again Jezza from North London....I was in Paris last week and they all thought Boris was still in charge....
“How did you bankrupt the UK Ms Truss?”
“Two ways; Gradually with Brexit, then suddenly with a mini-budget!”
"Practice!"
@@vercoda9997 Persistence!
With lies and total incompetence.
12 years it's taken them. At our expense. And now we are in for a really hard austerity 2.0
Don’t forget lockdowns. Rishi was Chancellor don’t forget billions in furlough money yes it helped to save jobs but how much fraud was involved. People started Businesses just after furlough was announced. They haven’t managed to get those billions lost back yet. Country was already in a mess. Never mind taxpayers have got to do that job
Rees-Mogg has a similar relationship with truth as does Johnson.
Rees-Mog writes Johnson's truth. It changes frequently, sometimes by the hour.
The Right Honourable Member for Jeeves and Wooster 🙄
Yossa Hughes- that's a radio classic James. You are so right and you have made me laugh. Thank you.
He said BIN-JUICE!!! I’m screaming😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rees-Mogg is the Kelly Ann Conway of British Politics.
Gizz us a job. Was the mental break down of a man. Who wanted to desperately work. So he could feed and cloth his children. He wandered the streets begging anybody for work. While watching his children. Go to bed cold and hungry. We watched as he became more unstable. More desperate. His manhood stripped away from him. I watched some of the filming. As a teenager. Saw his Kirby kiss being filmed. It stayed with me all my life. Even as a child myself. It frightened me. Thatchers Britain.
And it’s happening again. General strike till we force a general election. And without the NHS. I will die and I still say strike. Save my country from the Tory’s.
80s Liverpool. Talk about a city crumbling.
Reading this took me back to banking collapse 2009. I lost my job and had to sign on...as I approached local employment office one morning, Bernard Hill came out from same building!!
This has been an incredibly strange time to become interested in my country's politics. I sometimes wonder if I've started watching satire by mistake.
I bet you’re the sort to slow down and gawp at car crashes too.
Even the best British political satire is unable to capture the petty, greedy, incompetent mess that is our political system.
I knew it was a bad idea to turn the LHC back on...
Whenever that thing gets switched on the whole world occupies a parallel reality.
You are most definitely watching satire. It's not a mistake. The government has begun satirizing itself. Not just the U.K. government - governments all over the world.
prepare to be deeply jaded. it's okay, there's tea.
If ever someone had a name that's a misnomer, it's James Cleverly.
....not heard that before....sharp work....😂..
At least when news readers stumble over Jeremy Hunt's name, they describe him spot-on. And give him credit where it's due, he's a complete one.
@@Sootaroot Come on be fair that's an insult to c**t's.
Stop it, I am dying of laughter here. You are too brilliant today James, I need to go and lie down.
Except it isn't funny, it to depressing.
If you think that’s brilliant I really pity you
Nick I don’t find it one bit funny. I was being ironic and taking the lead from James who was enjoying himself taking the mickey out of the awful incompetent Tories.
In 2010 all the new Tory ministers were slipping in the phrase "the mess that Labour left..." every time they spoke to the media. Then it was "he got all the big decisions right". They are like parrots. But parrots have brains.
Tory voters running banks created the mess.
Strong and stable 🤣
Wrong and unstable.
The Tories said Labour left the U.K. nearly bankrupt but have managed despite austerity trebled our debt. They don’t talk about bankruptcy now it’s their watch.
Or how they thought slashing corp tax and cutting tax for top earners was a sensible way of managing even the interest on the debt?
build, back, better
levelling up
anti growth coalition
James is my safe space right now amidst all the chaos, thank you for helping me remember that I’m not crazy! It’s just our politics that’s gone bananas 🍌🍌🍌
“Safe space” get a grip.
You are a sad person thinking that he lied on here, and you think that you are in a safe place? You are a bigger joke then he is 😒
@@summit7051 No and no - politics is all relative though and we can’t help each other on a global level unless we’re on a stable platform. The UK feels too wobbly right now.
@@boywonder6659 Why do you think that?
@@NWard1210 Is a “safe space” somewhere where you can hide or be protected from the real world.
A place where your feelings can’t be hurt, where you can’t be critiqued.
A place where there’s no free speech, no progress.
That is what a “safe space” is and I won’t tolerate them for fear of the state controlling me more than they do now.
If safe spaces were to exist mine would be a place where I pay a lot less tax.
“They will blame Russia and China, they will blame anyone besides themselves in an attempt to divert public attention away from the international banking actions that created the crash conditions in the first place. We can’t let them. Whatever happens next, it is vital that people remember who really did this to us and who needs to be punished.”
So much for bring back control. We are now the worlds punchbag.
I will never forget this, but saying that,. I remember the Thatcher year and would never in my life vote for the Tories.
1st of all it's Dave, forgiving the vote to appease his party and put party over the country. Then its Boris who exploded it to get in power.
No integrity, no ethics, no honesty, no morals, no truth, no honesty, no self-respect, no shame...digusting and disgraceful
That's a bit harsh, I am sure O'Brien is loved by someone?
Sorry, you'll need to be more specific here rather than just providing a collection of adjectives which apply to the entire Parliamentary Conservative Party...
@@copperfield3629 I don’t think the lies and incompetence needs any explanation
But apart from all of that, what have the Romans ever done for us?
@@Neil-Aspinall The odds would suggest so, though I wonder why anyone would identify with such a blowhard.
Daily Mail of course mentions Party before Country
‘Well upholstered backside’ 😂
Boris pulled out because he didn't have the numbers. Can't believe he had the audacity to stand.
seriously, the gaul
The kindest description of crawlers like Cleverly and Zahawi would be opportunistic. A truer description would be rank desperation to keep one's snout in the trough.
James, it is so sad that you have been right about everything.
My heart bleeds for Britain which I love so much.
Im tired of trying to convince the turkey not to vote for christmas...
I have a lived a long time in UK, it is beyond my comprehension how so incompetent, in some cases not intellectually capable, people found themselves leading this country.
Well if America can elect sleepy Joe we Brits have to show we can go one step further on a farcical scale. We must compete with the Yanks
As one that lives across the pond, I am following these unfolding events with great interest. As an American, I suppose I find it novel that when a British politician bungles the job they have the decency to resign, while here the politicians that perform this badly become minor celebrities and their party's front-runner.
How TRUE the despair the ORANGE ONE has caused your nation is being repeated in the UK for example the Tory taking power 12 years ago and by comparisonthe TEA PARTY and men like Gingrich in the USA.I feel for the devision that Trump has caused your country from Scotland
Resignations are never because of any sense of decency but because they get forced into it by their party.
@@kahmed6 True, but at least the parties do force the worst actors to resign. That almost never happens here.
"Performing badly" is merely subjective. Is Biden performing badly or has been brilliant?
@@Alan_Wigz Biden looks half dead
James, you have clearly and consistently called these charlatans out! These people are dominated by self-interest. So frustrating as to why we the PEOPLE are persisting with this. It is a disgrace!!!!!
This is brilliant and sums it up, thanks for the laugh in the face of chaos! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm going to watch what happens now with Rees-Mogg, cos he threw his support behind Truss to be PM and stated yesterday he wanted Johnson back, so after failing to support Sunak at any point, will he get to stay as a minister in some form or another?
He may have a job ,in the broom cupboard, if he's lucky
@@justinquinn8921 as a broom!
@@mariannewilson6937 love it 😀
This is actually a great day, Johnson is gone and to add to the pleasure he's been humiliated, he came back from holiday offering jobs to anyone who'd support him, hilariously he could only muster around 50 backers and 40 of them were Rees Mogg in various disguises, the others were Nadine Dorries.
😄👍🏻 He really is such a clown, it's hilarious.
....odd post even by Paul's high standards...😊.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
It’s actually disgusting Boris and and bunch of his cronies thought it was appropriate for him to come back
It's actually really really sad.
What seems to be a continuous decline in standards in the Conservative Party. So glad I never voted for these jerks.
Very...
Never mind "his time will come again" he should be '"doing time" for his lies, corruption and despite of the people.
I really wish he’d said “Nadhim Zahawi jumped from one warm horse to another” at the end there 😂
As an American watching I’ve never been so interested in British politics. Hello from New York🇺🇸🇬🇧
Hi! You must be very pleased you had the American Revolution at this moment in time, even the old loyalist HQ, New York.

@@anonomous8719 If you could just be a bit more fragile that would be great.

Hi James what you read out sounded like the script for Blackadder 5 'the downing Street years', personally if I had a vote it would be for Larry the cat, a proven mouser and more capable than most tory mp's
You know when you're on holiday and everything seems achievable and then you get home and the holiday blues kick in, eh Boris?
Waiting for James!!! Thank you for helping me understand 💖
The whole saga over the weekend was objectively funny. He made such a show of returning to the country from his Caribbean holiday in economy class. Paraded in front of the press with his backside hanging out. Set up a fake photo shoot in an obviously empty office to prove he was doing the hard work of, erm, phoning his mates. Sent out his minions to tell everyone that he DEFINITELY had the votes, presumably in an effort to force some MPs to jump on the bandwagon. Then in his concession statement blamed the other two candidates for not working with him, even though he DEFINITELY had the votes.
😂

Disgusting and embarrassing. I’d rather any party than these lot but if rishi does purge these career ghouls from government he’d be doing the country a favor
@@summit7051 all true but they would still be better than the “let the bodies pile high” Tories - muppet.
@@summit7051 I don’t know the number but both my sons did two tours in Iraq so I know a bit about that, do you? That war was only ever about oil and I’m pretty sure that all political parties voted for the conflict. Your list of transgressions by labour as you see it pales into insignificance behind the decisions and behaviour of this government over that last 10 years. Do you really want a list of the transgressions by the trickle down party I don’t think so as you would not finish that particular novel until the new year. Please look in the mirror and see that doubling down and defending the indefensible and using whataboutery narratives is unhealthy. The country needs to move on with a general election and let the government and opposition parties stand and fall by the decision of the electorate. Many of us have had to live with that for the last six years. Just saying 🤷♂️
In politics there are two types of politicians, sign posts that remain the same and weather vanes that point whichever way the wind blows !
Thanks, James. Cleverly, the antithesis of nominative determinism.
i am speechless, and i rant a lot. this is like a cult the way these mp are behaving
am I the only one who cannot imagine any horrific ending which would not amuse if applied to Jacob Rees-Mogg?
It wouldn't surprise me if Boris joins Strictly Come Dancing next year, the man loves himself being on telly😆
Refreshing listening to someone saying how it is unlike 90% of the other media truly in love with the torys
Cleverly by name ...... only
Hahaha fantastic show today, had me in stitches especially when you changed voice
...patronising I thought to anyone outside North London.
I find it amusing you’re shocked at the craven actions of any tory mp 😂
All these MP’s backing Johnson and then rushing to support Sunak when Johnson withdraws care nothing for their constituents and only for staying in power and keeping their own cushy jobs
Rees Mogg looks down his nose at the common people, but can't seem to grasp that changing his mind every five seconds, doesn't make him popular - not that he IS popular, anyway, being a sneering, pompous, know-it-all, who actually knows nothing! 🤣
That's LORD Moggy to You, Commoner! Now, get back to your mill or chimney cleaning or scullery maiding or whatever the lower orders do, as Lord Moggington would say.

James Cleverley: a living refutation of nominative determinism.
As an 11 year old in the 60's I received a reply of (posh accent à la Rees-Mogg) "Oh, you're from the colonies!".
Skip ahead to the 90's and arriving in Newcastle , I was greeted with a 15 km taxi diatribe about 'those awful horrid Germans when asked where we were coming from. I admit that after the Brexit vote shock , the then ensuing chaos, denial and many frustrating roadblocks perceived to be set out by the EU when Boris didn't get his way caused me endless bouts of Schadenfreude. Now, after continuous failure to implement even the most basic strategies to failsafe Britain from economic implosion, my gloating has changed to disbelief that a government would let its people suffer such a miserable lot for their owns gains. A pox on the Party of the Entitled.
“The candidate with the most experience is clearly blank”.
Well he got that right at least.
Absolutely spot on
I think James may go insane 😂 bless you James, thanks for everything you do.
Boris ain't a dreamer, he's an opportunist
He's a lot of things. Some that would get me thrown off YT if i typed them.

Not to forget , she made Tourism from Australia cheaper!
Yes! Same from Austria!
Can’t imagine we could get a better trade deal…
And Austria could profit…
Why not?
From Londongrad to Morepork having buried the economy but no hatchets
I'm glad I'm not the only Aussie tuning into my new favourite British comedy - will new episodes daily!
9:57 of sanity, much needed.
Thank you James
"You may say he's a dreamer, but he's not the only one..."
Nice one
..yep...he was wasted on that building site..
nice one James we must have a general election
@Paul Conway
You mean like the one Liz Truss didn't have and the next PM won't have either?
What and let the Socialists in, are you insane man?
What we need and want and what we get are 2 entirely different things, we'll just have to accept that we have 2 more years of the clown show consevatives, because barring a miracle there's NO CHANCE of the tories calling one, they'll try to salvage the tatters of a party for the next 24 months and hope they've done enough with their idiot supporters to have a ghost of a chance.
@Paul Conway that doesn’t even make any sense. The “mandate” is with the Tory party currently via their manifesto. A party leader doesn’t have a mandate, we are not a “presidential democracy”. Parliament will express its sovereignty and vote for one soon enough. That said perhaps King Charles will get involved?
@Paul Conway what's the 83%?
"Absolute bin juice" haha.
Thank you. That was genuinely 'laugh out loud' funny.
It's like Mike Reid and the 70s kids show, Runaround 😀
Thanks James ,that was funny. I needed that. 🤣👍
Love the Show ,JOB...
But now it's business as usual austerity for many and bungs to the rich..
So no change there...
What manifesto are they on with this new pm.....
Hunt is going down a different route of privatise the nhs and bring in American style insurance plan, whilst with no manifesto on austerity...
Time to reform this circus..
Does this mean you'll be sending Rishi a Blankety-Blank chequebook and pen? ;)
Wow Tories are so ludicrously Incompetent even James can't report this keeping a straight face. But watching James O'Brien lose it laughing at these people is fun to watch.
I thought he was going to totally lose it there… that manic laugh almost crying. We feel your pain mate!
..yep he's really suffering..😊....
I just got one of the best launches of my life listening to you. Priceless.
If there's a demand for Jonathan Pie, just get him on.
He probably found out a retired PM only gets one £115 grand a year allowance, no matter how many times he's PM
Don’t believe your eyes, believe what we tell you.
I'm loving the energy James!
YES!! I finally understood a reference about an old english TV show!!
Question Everything. Listen to Everyone. Trust Nobody.

Great show today 👍🏻

I love these expressions of yours
The people are not the country as far as Tories are concerned. Only the rich are.
If this is true then why are the people out on mass demanding an election, I don't see anyone so far so it looks like the people are very happy with their mess of a government.
Absolutely brilliant analysis, very informed, very entertaining and even a passable scouse accent!
...patronising I thought but that's James for you.
I was driving when james was doing his literarure voice. I was laughing so hard i nearly hit the curb 😂😂😂😂
Poor James looks like he’s going to cry but laugh at the same time
It's how a lot of us feel, I'm sure 😭🤣
Anyone else wondering what deal has been made for Boris to pull out...
An off shore bank account with an undisclosed figure perhaps?
When you accept that the government does not operate in the interests of the many, all that at first appears illogical, irrational, ludicrous - starts making sense.
Thinking that voting one bunch out for another is a waste of time.
what a sad state of affairs, general election needed asap
So Labour can continue the same song and dance? Their intentions are the same as Tories.
I genuinely believe that the Tories would still win. This is a nation of self-flagellating, hat-doffing, toff-loving serfs who seem intent on self destruction.

Well said James.
As a scouser, feel free to borrow our accent any time you want when mocking the Tories.
We have always been at war with Oceania.
As an Irish citizen and proud member of the European Union that has done wonders for my little country, I respectfully suggest that if the UK eventually realises the economic harm Brexit has done to UK trade productivity and inward investment, the acid test will be sticking to its word on the NIP agreement with the EU as a prerequisite to any talks with the EU on easier trade terms. BUT Minister for State for Northern Ireland and leading light in the ERG has made it abundantly clear on Sky this morning that he supports Mr Sunak over Johnson , but will not hesitate to bring down the Sunak premiership if there is any weakening of the UK NIP bill progressing through both houses and the UK government's support for the DUP position. I fear Mr Sunak is 'hobbled' on Northern Ireland and by default European trade before he gets to No.10 unless the Conservative Party face down the ERG and similar groupings in its midst. Looking on as an interested outsider while Labour would not seek to reverse Brexit, (and anyway there is probably little appetite in Paris or Berlin to entertain a UK reapplication) it would not be as beholden to the DUP as the Conservatives are so are more likely to stick to former PM Johnson's agreement with the EU on the NIP than Johnson and the right wing of the Conservatives are.
Seems to me that there can be no improvement in trade relations with the EU until the Conservatives face down the ERG etc or Labour /Lib Dems come to power.
....nice try Joey boy....😂😂
