Please. Please. Please. Would every one of the media stop giving Alastair Campbell Oxygen to express himself. You only have to remind yourself who he is and what he was a part of to know he his a very destructive individual.
I Remind Mr cambell in 2008 we had one of worst resessions this country has ever seen also the pound and the euro were equal. .. At this time we were in the EU so Mr cambell don't pretend all was perfect when in the EU
Stephen hunter. It was a worldwide recession that the Labour party lead us into in the worst possible state. gordon Brown even gave speeches praising the bankers at mansion house. Blair and Brown are the biggest pair of incompetents this country has ever had. We are still suffering today because of the 2007 crash and we will not be out of it for several years yet.. but when we leave the EU we will at long last be able to set our own policy, Instead of cow towing to the EU.. The EU is still in shit street. and is still doing QE to this day. The EU will ONLY go downhill because they are incompetent and they have just lost one of their biggest assets. And btw. Gordon Brown sold half our gold at rock bottom prices to prop up the Euro. The EU are a millstone around our neck. And thank God we are leaving.
Incorrect - the recession started in the US with the banking sector. Whichever party had been in government would have suffered the same consequences. Regarding Brexit, the tide is turning, people who believe as you do with no tangible evidence are slowly coming to their senses.
Stephen hunter. The recession was just as much a UK problem as it was a US problem. It was Gordon Brown that encouraged all the Government debt and thought that the private sector debt was not a bubble. He even said " no more return to Tory boom and bust". Gordon Brown was so hapless he did not realise that the whole economy was a series of debt bubbles encouraged by the government.. this was why He will always be the chancellor that sold the nations gold at bargain basement prices. and the PM that led us intp the worst financial crisis ever. And there is no way of denying that. However. Corbyn and McDonnel would be even worse. There are more and more people coming over to the brexit position. In fact this so called negotiation has caused a lot of anger in the country at the sheer arrogance of the EU and the uselessness of the 'remainer' PM. I am convinced that remainers are a genetic underclass and have no balls, spine , common sense or self worth. remainers actually believe it is acceptable to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats and be under the jurisdiction of a foreign court. We are still in the EU , but i hope it is becoming apparent to our 'special underclass' that there is no point in trying to do a deal with an entity that needs you to have a bad deal for their very survival. I am getting a bit fed up with making excuses for the 'remainers' in the country that keep on talking the country down. Especially as a lot of them in London. and london will suffer the most/
It was a worldwide problem you idiot. Iceland, Ireland and Greece almost went bankrupt - was that Gordon Browns fault too. Every Chancellor in every country in the developed world faced exactly the same problems. Gordon Brown was actually instrumental in leading the world economies out of the recession, until the Tories got in and curtailed the recovery with their austerity programme. Anyway I can see I've got an uphill task of trying to convince someone like yourself with limited intelligence and swallows anything Nigel Farage and the Daily Mail says - so will leave you with your delusions.
It is 'blindingly obvious' that the EU are never going to give us a deal that would be even remotely acceptable.We must be punished and ridiculed by the EU to show the other 27 countries what they would be letting themselves in for should they dare to ever think about leaving this failing political construct. Once we leave the EU in the manner we voted for,, we must next reform our electoral voting system to the fairer proportional representation model. These politicians MUST be held to account and our two party system is not representative and should be consigned to history.
The number of European nurses and midwives working in the UK has not dropped; several studies have said so. What has fallen is the number on the Register of the professional body, the NMC. The referendum result does mean that many nurses and midwives and other health professionals who have worked in the UK in the past but have now returned home, no longer see any point in staying on the register. I work in health care and during my life have worked between the UK and Australia. About three years ago I decided to let my UK registration lapse because I am very unlikely to return to the UK to practice in my profession. Brexit means many European nurses no longer fell it's worth paying the registration fees on the off chance they may return to the UK, where there scope of practice may no longer be recognised anyway within a few years. I suspect many British nurses now back in the UK have likewise given up their German, Dutch and Spanish registrations too.
If Campbell knows that there are things the government needs to sort out why have they not been sorted out? It's no good waiting until after the referendum to admit that and then whingeing about the path US PEOPLE took. Conservatives, labour, lib dems, greens and even ukip will not sort out many peoples concerns about immigration or the NHS, they are all the same. I will be voting Anne Marie Waters as soon as I get the chance!
Well Alistair, I am NOT regretting the leave vote. Bring it on ASAP. My doubts are with the useless Government not doing what is required. Alistair, the lying spin doctor of that treacherous Blaire wants us to believe what he says? He and Blair I would bet, have a very big vested interest to stay in.
Campbell pissed off all he worked for with Blair for 10 yrs been trashed. He reversing the lot . Eu cost us billions that could been spent on building britain not eastern europe
The process of Brexit would evolve smoothly if people like Campell stop meddling. Also, if we have sincere negotiators working on our behalf instead of the self serving clowns we have been lumbered with.
The pound was dropping long before the ref lol. Check for yourself. But it was overvalued. I don't know anyone with doubts alistair. Why does a doctor or a nurse need to come from the EU most are Indian or africa I deal with lol. Why don't they come from Britain?
Campbell...Blair's spin doctor...that means LIAR to you and me. He always was arrogant and pompous. Tell us where we'll be in 10 yrs time if we had voted remain!?
One thing the vote has brought about, is the true colours of the people in the public spotlight, that given the real FACTS of history regarding the eu and the direction it's heading, they must KNOW. Which shows them to be even more evil and self centered than originally thought. To me it's highlited some new ones whom I thought were ok, but for the record Campbell was not one of them. Funny also that its all about 💰 and no real debate touches the big issue which is centralisation of power.
UK was the fastest growing economy in Europe, now one of the slowest. Wages rising lower than inflation, with an expectation it'll take a decade or more to get back to 2007's real wages. And that's based on the assumption we do get a trade deal.
Phil Dobbie always strange to say slowest growing economy when compared to Europe when Europe was on its arse and now its growing again of course it will grow faster it was ON ITS ARSE for a decade the uk is still growing and as to wages not keeping pace with inflation that was the same in the e.u due to mass migration I earn less now than I did 20 years ago so stop trying to blame brexit on things that have been happening for decades
Just watching this in January 2021,Campbell has never been right about anything, he’s a Poundland Russell Grant😂😂😂😂.Every “idiot”who voted to leave knew there was no cliff edge, it was obvious to “illiterate” leavers the EU would not cut off there nose to spite there face.But according to Campbell everything he predicted was “blindingly obvious “!!!.
Campbell is an economic illiterate, inflation and devaluing of pound have nothing to do with Brexit. That is the governments general incompetence to control spending. Cause is not correlation, where Brexit is always the answer to him. Was the 24% inflation in 1976 due to Brexit also?
You have to remember that he and Blair were the architects of the extinction of a political party, a first in british political history. Bravo Mr Campbell for this you have my respect
Seriously guys ~ Why do you even give Alastair Campbell air time ? He's nothing more than a gas bag ~ He is just a chap who wants to stay in the EU ! We ARE leaving so his opinions are irrelevant !!
You people ! Campbell anything with your or the cottaging queen blairs name on it is a gift to the opposition what ever the subject. Just go away and stay there........
We opening 160 new markets to britain . Look what 27 new market did 40 years ago. Now we must move on to the world model. We will rise and EU will sink. You watch
Except that isn't how the economy works. The EU is the largest trading area in the world and will of course, as a percentage of global growth, lose ground 'relative' the rising economies of East Asia and South Asia (it goes without saying for any developed state in modern political economy), but it will remain the strongest economic powerhouse for a long time in the future. The trend for states which seek to compete globally is towards pooling resources into regional agreements and blocs. trading globally from within a regional organisation provides massive economies of scale, clout and collective protections which going global alone could not bring. The UK will become, if it gets no trade deal with the EU, the 'only' state in the G20 which doesn't have a trade deal encompassing its largest export or import market. The UK will sink if it continues along its current trajectory. Without even having left the confidence in our economy is declining, inflation is rising because of the value of the pound's effect on the cost of imports, Australia have stated a post-Brexit trade deal would be less beneficial than current arrangements, the UK will be leaving CETA (one of the most comprehensive trade deals between the EU and Canada), and these developments all come at a time when wages are stagnating. You talk of moving on to a 'world model' despite the fact that the world model was exactly that which we already existed within (a regional-to-world-facing economy). I am watching and, thus far, just the threat of taking an economically illogical, incoherent and silly turn in leaving the EU and SM has meant the UK has sunk to the lowest growth economy in the G7, the eurozone economies are out-pacing UK growth (2.5% gdp growth to 1.5), business confidence is shrinking, financial and banking jobs are being relocated to Paris, Dublin and Frankfurt. It is a mess.
Ed underwood. Thank you for an oasis of intelligence in an intellectual dessert. I despair at the quality of the other posts, I fear very much for the UKs future if the quality of debates we have on TH-cam are anything to go by. Thanks again for raising the bar!
More Lies from Campbell
Very pleased to be one of the "you people"
I would be happy to be one of the "you deplorable people".
Once a spin doctor, always a spin doctor. That's all you need to know about this man's opinion.
ALASTAIR CAMPBELL S the biggest prick in this country ...... some one shut him up
He’s right
Please. Please. Please. Would every one of the media stop giving Alastair Campbell Oxygen to express himself. You only have to remind yourself who he is and what he was a part of to know he his a very destructive individual.
He wants a job in Brussels !!!!!!!
Well the toilets won`t clean themselves will they !
Hey Alastair found any WMDs lately
Campbell a traitor with bipolar?
And the award for 'Remoaner of the year' 2017 goes to..👏
Alastair Campbell the spin doctor, been spinning on Tony Blairs knob for years.
frtuihjg . That really made me smile.
Alistair Campbell is full of WAFFLE
I Remind Mr cambell in 2008 we had one of worst resessions this country has ever seen also the pound and the euro were equal. .. At this time we were in the EU so Mr cambell don't pretend all was perfect when in the EU
Er, that was a worldwide recession - nothing to do with our membership of the EU

Yes but can Campbell give us any good reasons why we should stay in an EU which we have no control over?
Simple, find out who is paying him.... follow the money....
Blairs Former Minister for Propaganda was, one of best advertisements for Brexit.
The British People Spoke.
Judging by your choice of "words" I know more than you.
The pound has been down to around 1.10 before Brexit, how do you explain that?
Can't even begin to make facts like that to remainers who believe that we are in a crisis. It's ludicrous.
How can ANY member of Tony Blair's party have a voice. Unbelievable...!!!
Alistair Campbell..........WE want sovereignty of our own country. WE do not want to be part of the German Empire. Any questions ?
It is 'blindingly obvious' that the EU are never going to give us a deal that would be even remotely acceptable.We must be punished and ridiculed by the EU to show the other 27 countries what they would be letting themselves in for should they dare to ever think about leaving this failing political construct.

Alistair camp. Bell end
alistair campbell is lord haw haw this Brussels calling this is Brussels
campbell is odious and should be taken to the vets
Pillock Paul stuffed into his shirt. Glad he was sacked from TalkRadio.
Alistair Campbell, given his history, whinging about the importance of ‘facts’ is bloody hilarious.
Campbell proved what people thought. To attempt to win an argument, allow no rebuttals.
Dummy out the pram again Alistair.WHAAAAAAA
Not left yet and they are making it as hard as possible. 40 plus billion. What a joke. But no ones laughing

Why on earth do the media give this guy airtime.
No one told me Malcolm Tucker was doing the rounds again.
Paul, you are supposed to remain impartial! you may find what Alastair was saying 'fascinating' but even he admitted he was being patronising!
On who's authority had he the right to speak for anyone?
Did Alistair Campbell behave like this when his buddy was in power?
If Campbell knows that there are things the government needs to sort out why have they not been sorted out? It's no good waiting until after the referendum to admit that and then whingeing about the path US PEOPLE took. Conservatives, labour, lib dems, greens and even ukip will not sort out many peoples concerns about immigration or the NHS, they are all the same. I will be voting Anne Marie Waters as soon as I get the chance!
The pound has been going 'south' states Cambell since the EURef. Wrong again, the pound has been going south since 2007.
Wouldn't define that as a row.
He's on the verge of a breakdown.
blairs bitch wanker.
Alistair Campbell is spot on.... George Orwell would be feeling vindicated, reading the comments to this clip.
Why have two presenters, one of whom interrupts both a presenter and the interviewee??
Tad unprofessional.
Why does he get on the radio,
Campbell missing the point, we voted out and accepting there maybe downsides and a price worth paying.
Why don't people get over it. We will be worse off now just face it, it's what people want.
Poor Alistair was in line for a cushy number in Brussels. You people have deprived him of millions.
And you answer have we lost 800.000 jobs now we have voted to leave.
Facts, facts, facts, guys !
Good for Carole - don't always agree with her views, but she did a great job here.
I too am very happy to be one of you people
Pleased to Support Brexit👍 Glad to confirm Campbell is a Pratt👍
Paul Ross, James Obrien and Cambell. Lets just exile them to their beloved EU.
Campbell did more to lay the groundwork for brexit and peoples discontent than anyone they just cant see it
He is completely correct in what he is saying
why is this criminal campbell given airtime,he should be in jail or strung up.
Well Alistair, I am NOT regretting the leave vote. Bring it on ASAP. My doubts are with the useless Government not doing what is required.
Alistair, the lying spin doctor of that treacherous Blaire wants us to believe what he says? He and Blair I would bet, have a very big vested interest to stay in.
Campbell still at it, I see. Does he even have ANY power anymore?
Campbell pissed off all he worked for with Blair for 10 yrs been trashed. He reversing the lot . Eu cost us billions that could been spent on building britain not eastern europe
So project fear gave true facts, the Border between Northern Ireland and the EU should again have no place in the negiotations,
Alistair Campbell the only politician defeated by salt.
The process of Brexit would evolve smoothly if people like Campell stop meddling. Also, if we have sincere negotiators working on our behalf instead of the self serving clowns we have been lumbered with.
Doubts, what a *****
You do not won't any one who voted out to have there say
The pound was dropping long before the ref lol. Check for yourself. But it was overvalued. I don't know anyone with doubts alistair. Why does a doctor or a nurse need to come from the EU most are Indian or africa I deal with lol. Why don't they come from Britain?
Campbell...Blair's spin doctor...that means LIAR to you and me. He always was arrogant and pompous. Tell us where we'll be in 10 yrs time if we had voted remain!?

Funny also that its all about 💰 and no real debate touches the big issue which is centralisation of power.
Campbell can see the eu gravy train pulling out of the station leaving him on the platform. Go and cry on your buddy Blair's shoulder.
Spin spin there are positives as well remoaner and then some.
Does Paul Ross have a drug problem? The last time I saw someone fidget like that they had speed and coke issues.
Don't give this man any air time......we'd have a Corbyn government if it wasn't for him and blairites
Everybody has a major row with Campbell. That's what happens when you try to talk politics with an aggressive drunk.
What an odious man he is. Anything to do with Blair then forget it. He is a nasty piece of work.
UK was the fastest growing economy in Europe, now one of the slowest. Wages rising lower than inflation, with an expectation it'll take a decade or more to get back to 2007's real wages. And that's based on the assumption we do get a trade deal.

Carole should have said the 3 words that always shut the deviant Campbell up....
Doctor David Kelly !
No deal is a good deal
When he says facts, what he means are HIS facts!
should have stuck to making soup
Just watching this in January 2021,Campbell has never been right about anything, he’s a Poundland Russell Grant😂😂😂😂.Every “idiot”who voted to leave knew there was no cliff edge, it was obvious to “illiterate” leavers the EU would not cut off there nose to spite there face.But according to Campbell everything he predicted was “blindingly obvious “!!!.
Campbell has mastered the art of talking out of pessimistic miserable arse to a tee.
Campbell is an economic illiterate, inflation and devaluing of pound have nothing to do with Brexit. That is the governments general incompetence to control spending. Cause is not correlation, where Brexit is always the answer to him. Was the 24% inflation in 1976 due to Brexit also?
A thrashing for the terrible Carole Malone who can never back up Her statements and just moves onto the next rant.
UK voted out
He is a traitor. End of.
Campbell-a pathological liar.
With blood on his hands.
How can a man who made a living from lying, talk about facts?
Paul acting like a child sums up alot.
Carole is an obvious Sun journalist.
well done Carole Malone
The man is such a weasel.
Facts are often fabricate to serve one's purpose. Lets leave.
And he was right all along.
You have to remember that he and Blair were the architects of the extinction of a political party, a first in british political history. Bravo Mr Campbell for this you have my respect
Alastair if your career was based on facts you wouldn't have a career
Argue on the basis of fact! Are those the same facts you used to take us to war then Mr Campbell, I would not believe a word this man utters!
Biased host supporting ranting Campbell - Well done Carole for fighting our corner!
If Campbell likes the eu so much why don't he p1ss off to euroland
Hard Brexit!
Seriously guys ~ Why do you even give Alastair Campbell air time ? He's nothing more than a gas bag ~ He is just a chap who wants to stay in the EU ! We ARE leaving so his opinions are irrelevant !!
Campbell Spinner of lies. It is a proven FACT.
You people ! Campbell anything with your or the cottaging queen blairs name on it is a gift to the opposition what ever the subject. Just go away and stay there........
he is so emotional and weak
Horrible man!
He`s desperate to stay in the public domain any way he can everyone knows he`s a liar.
