This is the sort of thing we desperately need. Friendly and candid chats with politicians, without entrapment or pre agreed scripts. Give them space to explain themselves. Let’s get to know and judge our politicians for ourselves, instead of how they are made to appear by journalists or because they are cornered into defensive mode. I didn’t know much about John Redwood, but I have a much clearer picture now. We can thank Nigel for this.
John Redwood Would make a fine prime minister We NEED Someone of his calibration And belief in his country I just hope he’d throw his hat in the ring when the tory party elect a new leader
Wrong….in my humble opinion, sir. By the time Redwood stood against Major the Labour lead was unassailable. 16 years in power and post-Black Wednesday the people wanted change.
The Tories had already lost the 1997 election after Black Wednesday in September 1992, or at the latest the March 1993 budget when they put VAT on fuel. Labour had 20 point leads in the poll before John Smith died. The Tories openly feuding with each other over Europe which was a completely irrelevant issue to the public at the time (it only really became important after Cameron became PM), also made them look ridiculous.
@@lesleywillis6177 That's what Labour have always failed to understand but prosperity an wealth are anathema to them because they need to live in the 'working class' syndrome.
Highly impressive, more please from John Redwood. His attitude is why we voted for Brexit. The current lot are very down-beat and obsessed with the green agenda (which the public are not).
Brilliant interview Nigel and at least there are a few Conservatives that tells the truth well done Sir John Redwood maybe he should be P.M G.B news never fells us great stuff
Sir John needs to stop talking and start SHOUTING from the back benches, what a great guy he is. He mentioned contacting our MP about things. We've contacted our MP so often about what the things the Tory party are doing he's stopped replying to us, what a complete waste of time he is, and I bet he's not the only one.
I find these pints fascinating. My parents have very strong opinions about politicians. I have very strong opinions about imbeciles running the country.

These voters switch off their brains when it comes to politics and consistently end up being the turkeys who vote for Christmas.

@@MsJackcool69 Good question. Present Labour is like Tory without the clowns. It's more of the same without the thrills and the pancake warfare. I know I'm going to be trashed here for saying this but I think Corbyn had the best package, with an inclusive vision that drew the line between working people and the plutocrats that manipulate society for their own benefit.
Two of my favourite politicians chatting & both with real job experience, what bliss! I think we are seeing the inevitability of low taxation (resulting in a white-hot economy) that is justified by the Laffer curve. Inflationary pressures (that cause price increases) & high taxation are driving a significant proportion of the population towards destitution & it can’t go on.
I remember John Redwood being referred to as "the Stalking horse" or the like... He comes across well here to my mind but at the time he was held in a dim light. Nowadays if he did the same he would be held in higher regard given the contemporary comparisons!
I think the accurate description of the picture is that Redwood has remained largely consistent and the politicians around him have deteriorated massively in quality.
What an excellent interview . Sir John really does make the point of low taxes . Since Brexit I have often said to people the government should make the UK a very low tax country to attract more and more international business more of the international wealthy aswell as encouraging British owned business to relocate back to the UK and making it easy for self employed and sole traders to operate . There must be dozens of ways to bring in huge tax revenues and this then would allow the gov to rreally cut taxes for individuals .
I compare JR with Johnson, Patel, Shapps, etc and I weep for the loss of proper conservatives running the country. His constituents are very fortunate to have such an MP.
It’s a crying shame that politicians such as Sir John are sitting on the back bench. He knows that the current Conservative party are moving in the wrong direction but is too loyal to rock the boat. Maybe, for the long term survival of the party, people such as him need to make their voices heard more in the party. The present bunch really are a waste of time.
"This is a great country". Truth is it was a great country, government meddling and living on a reputation Britain no longer deserves is the truth of the matter today, the attitudes of politicians now is such that they are not elected to serve the electorate but are elected to rule over us.
You reduce the number of MPs to 1 mp per county and four deputies for each sector of that county ie north south east and west, and abolish the House of Lord's ASAP.
Well done Sir John! Very enjoyable iinterview to watch. As usual he spoke a lot of sense. So much experience over the years in government. Always enjoy his blog. Loyal to Boris. Tremendously loyal to this country. I think Nigel Farage skill in interviewing came through and enabled Sir John to give his views, reminisce over being a Eurosceptic and what he would like Boris and his team to do eg. Low taxes
Single best political conversation i've ever watched broadcasted.....almost at a canter. Redwood - fascinating.....however full applause to both participants.
Nigel Farage IS EXCELLENT. There is a load of stuff I know about Farage! HOW come HE isn't the U.K.'s Prime Minister!? MAGA & KAGA! MUKGA & KUKGA! ALSO, too bad about that city being titled: 'Wokingham'. lol.
Now we are finally out of the clutches of the EU why has the EU tax system of VAT not been removed. This after all was a tax system imposed on the UK by the EU, we are no longer under their system so why has VAT not been replaced or is it just a case of,(Nice little earner there Rodders my old son) says today's Del Boy.
I m glad Redwood is on the backbenches, If he was in Cabinet he would have to follow what he was told where he can object to Policies of the Government that he does not like . Keep up the good work and keep the Government on there toes , but at the moment they think they can get away with anything and do what they want ,but this will bite them on there arse at the next election
Nigel is wizard at bring out the best in people . It makes one sad to think that political personalities, who have been characterized as stupid, weak or incompetent, are in fact very capable but were doomed to be branded as mediocre by those who would keep them down.
@@JohnnyNorfolk Nobody has brain washed me old boy. As for the Beeb I have not had a TV licence for more than 12 years, nor a TV come to that. I just remember that Mr. Redwood was unable to learn 'Mae hen wlad fyn Nhadau' which amused me at the time.
Nigel’s 100% right Conservatives are just slightly better labour and Lib Dem’s. The only good thing is more funding for the military and building more ships. But attempting to cut troops is stupid, we need conscription for prisoners, homeless. Reform UK is the party for people.
