Campbell's self-reinvention as a hero of Remain has been thoroughly entertaining to watch. How he's been embraced as a hero after his part in the Iraq debacle. I guess all is forgiven... Oh wait, the Hague is on the phone!
I know right. I mean back in 2004 this creepy old dickhead. Called Anti War Iraq protesters. "Smug idiots". Yet *now* . He's a "progressive hero". Pass me the bucket 🤢
@@HS-fm9kv I know. But Campbell. As "Chief of Communications". Was the one drumming up support for it. & Co authored that bullshit dossier. About Iraq's "WMD"
@Brian Smith That's not very fair on the dog mate. Just lock the pair of them in the tower, along with May and Hammond, and throw the key mid Atlantic.
Absolutely on message here until he is asked to commit to something where he INSTANTLY changes the subject. His type never changes, full of chat, but when asked for actual policy...nothing!!!
He’s absolutely right, I’ve always liked Alistair. With the exception of Blair’s three landslides this party hasn’t won since the early 1970’s. Their hard left is more unreasonable than ours in the US.
No denying Corbyn is inept. Labour should of walked all over the Tories during the past 3 years but Corbyn has hardly done anything and he can't even get his team in order. Politics in the UK has become a joke and a disaster.
18:35 "Global Joke"... As a Brit/ EU Dual National sitting in a 3rd country for work.... surrounded by people from around the world..... Couldn't agree more..... Having same conversation that AC had in Australia with my non british friends/ colleagues who are asking WTF....
Kinnock lost two general elections. Tories got a majority both times. If Campbell is criticising corbyn on his record on general elections, why does he praise kinnock in the same sentence? Kinnock was the biggest loser Labour's ever had!
But, what does that mean on its own? And what does that's mean in the context of Campbell's criticisms that labour did not win in 2017? Campbell is quick to point out how "hard" kinnock worked, well, based on his results, he didn't work hard enough. Leader for nine years, trounced after 3/4 years, battered again in 1992. Tory majorities both times. Corbyn was leader for just two years before labour stopped a tory majority at corbyns first effort. So kinnock tried? Did he? And if he did, he didn't try hard enough!
@@heliotropezzz333 Yes indeed. He went to USA to work for a charity on a $ 300,000 annual salary. I wonder how much the recipients of that charity received. Another slimy individual.
Everything is personal for Alistair Campbell who is only there for his own agenda and his own future wealth he is looking for a job somewhere ! Luckily most people dislike him intensely and as far as accusing other people being liars people in glasshouses should not throw stones... I'm surprised his nose is not sticking through the TV camera! A thoroughly disagreeable and malodorous human being reminds me of Gollum!!... my precious!
Alastair Campbell was involved in years of bloodshed diplomacy and fabrication. Dr Kelly UK scientist killed, weapon of mass destruction was lie, Iraq invasion was wrong, sending UK young men and women to war is a criminal act.. all is done, in British name which had nothing to do with Britiain. it was ISRAEL business to fight these countries UK need to stay out of it. and luckily we have one guy in British politics who tell the truth and that is Jeremy Corbyn.
Needs to apologise in person to every arm forces personnel permanently injured and the families of the deceased during the Iraq war for misleading them into a false war !
To be fair to him, he could sell any thing. At his time, he had good politicians around Labour making good policies and lots of bad ones, then he could sell it all. Now no one at the Labour is making any real policies and there is no one to sell them!
I fail to understand the train of thought of people who deride AC / TB. Most of the individuals who do so base their derision on the fact that Britain participated in the Iraq war, which incidentally was due to the pressure from the then USA president GWB. Nobody seems to remember what New Labour delivered for the overall benificialty of the working person during their tenure, what people need to realize is that 99% of the UK population is working class, yet all the present cabinet appointments by BJ are members of the 1%.
Is anyone really surprised that the master of spin has the temerity to characterise his expulsion as him “walking away.” The lack of shame here is breathtaking.
Erm, ... I kinda like him. He's not a politician but he's a great student of political thinkers, Machiavelli maybe! He can accurately see/read the political landscape and situation and verbally he touches 'it' with a needle!
Kay Burley interviewing Alastair Campbell.What a complete waste of eighteen minutes of anyone's life.The worst journalist on UK television asking questions to someone whose opinions and judgement no one respects anymore.
It is little wonder that Australians largely think Brexit is bad and BJ will be a disaster as Aussies are largely dependent on the BBC for its news about the UK...no prizes for guessing the BBC's 'policy' on Brexit and BJ!
Some people never realise that they are has beens. Blair, Brown and Campbell and others still live in their own little cloud cuckoo land. Had he resigned before being expelled from his Party, he may have regained a smidgeon of respect. Unfortunately the media hunger for 24 hour dross keeps them going on and on and on and on...
If this two-faced hypocrite and liar ever joined anything I was a member of I would resign immediately. He would be just as much at home in the Tory party just as long he could parade his mendacity to his own advancement and get paid well.
Yes, Campbell is a hypocrite and has a less than reputable record. But that doesn't mean he's automatically wrong about what he's saying re: Labour and the state of the party. So far I haven't seen any comments which rebut any of his claims properly - just a load of stuff about 'Iraq, the Hague, expelled blah blah blah'.
The name of this video is misleading. Alastair Campbell was expelled from the Labour Party after he voted for another party. He has chosen not to challenge this decision. He has not “left” the party . He was kicked out. Proper news reporting please.
Why Alastair Campbell hate Jeremy Corbyn, because Corbyn does not buy ISRAELI and NEO con of US politicians bullshit ! Corbyn think British NOT American or Israeli That is why ! simple as that.
I wonder why Mr. Campbell is given so much air time these days. He may have been important when Tony Blair was Prime Minister but Mr. Blair left office 12 years ago. Mr. Campbell is in no position to complain at all about Brexit, he supported the Iraq War against the wishes of most of the population of the country. Sounds as if Mr. Campbell wants to have his cake and eat it.
9:30 She's got him here. I can't stand this 'man' - I use the word loosely - he is a hypocritical liar. He's never been elected whereas the right wing of the Tory party have, and his constant yammering like this is making me want to vote Tory for the first time in my life, given that they have the most positive sounding front bench of ANY party in the last 3 years. Can't stand his negative attitude, although I agree with him about Corbyn's Labour party. The problem with people like him is they only listen to their own echo chamber.
Think they need to change the name of this video
He didnt leave he got kicked out
Yes, but he also says he was appealing and had an 'air tight' case against the Labour Party. And, he does have a point on that.
It not like Campbell to twist the truth!
Your wronh
Good Riddance !
@@mum2jka however conveniently he isn't going to present his "air tight" case. Probably because it has a bloody big hole in it.

Definetly not a hero. Im glad hes gone.
I have no doubt he will be one of those who will return to clean up corbyn's mess.

So the former Labour spin doctor is spin doctoring out in the open and skys gobbling it up. Why is he doing this in france?
@Jim who sends a political open letter while on holiday?
He got expelled for not supporting Labour. So he’s not going to be missed

Because he's too corrupt even for labour. He would be better suited as guard in some pow camp or Sierra Leone when stuff went south.
This guy 100% fake I never trusted him
because he's not really a socialist.
Perhaps the most self-promoting and at the same most uninteresting person on the planet.

Not a spin Dr anymore, he is all out of date, everything about him...

Horrible man.

It's not hard to slag of racist Labour mate.
Labour on the way to lose the next general election because of Corbyn
I wish he'd leave our tv screens LOL.
Leaving the country would be my choice
Well done Alistair for standing up for what is right and basically saying Bollocks to Brexit in the face of a useless and impotent Labour Party
He's quite right I don't understand what labour want weather there remain or out it's a mystery
war criminal . why give him air time!
John Pullen why give Churchill a statue?
Campbell made a bollox of Iraq, no question. But he's absolutely right about Johnson, Corbyn and the state of British politics.
Kinnock lost two general elections. Tories got a majority both times. If Campbell is criticising corbyn on his record on general elections, why does he praise kinnock in the same sentence? Kinnock was the biggest loser Labour's ever had!

"why I left Labour" because i was kicked out for telling everyone on national tv to vote Lib Dem. Nothing to see here then.
Looks like he's fallen off the wagon to me, frankly. He's not well.
He’s correct on Corbyn but I don’t have much time for him in a political sence.
He's right about one thing Boris is crap Corbyn is worse I think we should go for Nigel farage and the brexit party
Sorry Alistair. I'm not interested in the slightest.

When I saw Campbell's face, I thought this was gonna be a propaganda video on "Why the West must bomb Iran"
To be fair to him, he could sell any thing. At his time, he had good politicians around Labour making good policies and lots of bad ones, then he could sell it all. Now no one at the Labour is making any real policies and there is no one to sell them!
