- On election night 2019, Labour lost seats that had never been anything other than red. One of them was Bolsover - which had been held by the MP Dennis Skinner since 1970. Our reporter Sean Clare spent time in the constituency in three months before the election for the Victoria Derbyshire programme and spoke to many people who were thinking about doing the previously unthinkable - voting Conservative. He's been back to the area - which as of now is held by the Tories. Broadcast on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme 16.12.2019
Remember Thornberry sneering at “white van man with his cross of st George flag” ... these things are never forgotten
Well here is the funny bit through marriage she is a "Lady" of the realm. She is also the champion of affordable housing. Lives in the same street as where Tony Blair use to live in London , and to boot owns other property. Champagne Socialists, dont you just love them.
@@Eric-the-Bold The even funnier bit is she is aiming to become the new labour leader.
white van men are sniveling tearfully into their pints as we speak
She also said to a colleague who lost her seat "my constituents weren't as stupid as yours", now she's running for labour leadership
I suspect you are bang on with that. There is this cabal of Home Counties middle class so called socialists who have patronised and disenchanted the traditional labour core vote. Abbott being another example. Votes against grammar schools and then sends her own son to one. Who finishes up spitting at policemen!
It all kicked off with Brown and his "that bigoted woman" ten years ago. Labour activists view white, working-class males from the North with utter contempt.
And white working-class females. There seems to have been a lot of political cover for the grooming gangs".
Edit: I understand that the grooming gangs also did Hindu and Sikh girls.
@@richardlee653 And they still are !
What a load of bollocks. You think that all Labour activitists hate the working class that they stand for just cos Brown called a woman bigoted? What about the Tories and all they've done? Always lying to get elected and taking away the ability of the working class to climb the ladder as well as taking away basic public services.
Oh, it kicked off long before that. But that recorded 'bigoted' comment was the first time that people realised just how deeply out of touch politicians are with their constituency voters.
@@Clavinovaman she was bigoted.
The House Of Commons seems strange without Dennis Skinner
Do do feel terribly sorry for Dennis Skinner to end like this.
Lol !
Ropes are available
Had it come never done anything for Boza and when his big moment came he stabbed his voters right in the back
He's just part of the system he's earned over 6 million quid since becoming an mp. He got £17k relocation fee and £56k parachute tax free cash, plus his state pension and his parliamentary pension is £51,560 a year plus he's had 45 years of absolutely fantastic pay

A political party is in trouble when it stops representing the views of its voters . Labour has been going down that road for years. The whole purpose of a political party is represent it's voters not the views of its hard core membership.
Does this represent working class voters more? th-cam.com/video/24du25osgRY/w-d-xo.html

Empty words. Labour and Tory are equally as bad
The party that was “coal not dole” has turned against this. A kick in the teeth for decedents of miners.

A party for cities and students, absolutely bang on.
For those who are 'all heart' and no brain.
students and cities are sexy - no one's killing themselves to move to shitholes like Bolsover
People too thick to become students hate them?
Jon908584 A young man who is not a liberal at 20 has no heart, but if he is not a conservative by 40 he has no brain.
@Alex Jones So are old people. Most of them are not students.
When you consider what Thatcher is commonly believed to have done to mining communities, for former miners to vote Conservative in preference to Labour is staggering. They, Labour, lost because they deserved to lose. They don't speak for working people anymore.
@Nick Firth I wasn't sure of the facts, which is the reason for "commonly believed". Thanks.
All my life I've had to listen to the moaning of miners and how hard done by they were. Nobody asked them to be a miner, they volunteered. Now that the mines have been closed, they're still moaning. Few, having been handed a lemon, have made lemonade. The Government through the Social Services should give help only to those prepared to help themselves otherwise all that happens is that the motley army of dependents who refuse to stir themselves and take responsibility for themselves will grow and eternally be with us.
The Mines Closed Because Labour Nationalized them which in Return made the mines unprofitable and inefficient, so really Labour destroyed the Mines and than scapegoated it on Tatcher
All they had to do was stick by the referendum and they would of won by a landslide, instead they convinced Corbyn to back a second vote, and he did want out.
I know they only care about Trans and Somalians
Labour lessons learnt = Never rely on students for your vote!
What is so special about students? Call them what they are - long term schoolchildren.
Anybody who has consistently interviewed graduates will tell you that many are unemployable. Governments of all complexions have pushed for more young persons to go to university for their own political purposes. Among the reasons that many do take up a seat at university is that it is seen as more acceptable than having to work for a living and selecting one option from a list of alternative answers is not an effective way of testing knowledge and identifying those who would personally benefit, and the country benefit, from making an investment in their further education.
The lack of common sense of many young persons is illustrated by the level of personal debt that they carry. Who in their right mind borrows money without having a credible plan to repay the debt? Being unable to settle debts shows a lack of common sense and the expectation that others will bale them out of a mess that they themselves created.
That so many students registered to vote in two separate constituences tells its own story.
@@Jon908584 (i) Higher education is a prerequisite for many careers - try removing a cyst with the the knowledge gained from a Biology GCSE;
(ii) Many many many students work full-time studying in the evening or online. Sounds like you need to do more research
TheConversation I do not disagree with your argument that yes there a great many students who have to work part time to support their further education, however, there are also a great deal of students who choose university as an ‘alternative’ to work and rely on ‘bank of mom n dad’ to support themselves. Also, we have to question whether the majority of subjects taken up (media studies as an example) is worth the resultant student debt that these kids have to carry for decades with little chance of getting a higher paid occupation down the line. What we mostly have in this country (and the Western world overall) are a bunch of millennials in further education who are angry with the system because they believe opportunities should be handed to them on a plate hence when they realise they have to get out of bed to earn it they develop a radical anti-establishment mentality.

I am not British, but a keen admirer of the British democracy.
I am also an admirer of Mr Skinner, although I could not always agree with the Labour nor the Conservatives.
That said, I am really sorry Mr Skinner lost his seat, he was the voice of normal working people, and will be missed sorely to keep Labour representing the working class.
Bolsover I get, someone explain how in gods name Jess Philips held her seat though?
all the horrible angry women of britain moved over there to vote for her
Not only held her seat, but wants to be fucking leader of the party. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@Bas Wenmakers it would be, labour wouldnt be elected for a generation, it would be great for the country
The ethnic population of her constituency kept her in. Let's pray for a benefits shake up to really kick them in the balls!
@Bas Wenmakers Phillips ,Abbot , Thornbury or the Long-Forehead woman would be amazing.
People didn’t leave Labour; Labour left the people.
Got it in one.
They are damned if the do, damned if they don’t. If they move left, they get smeared out of existence by the press.
If the dance to the press’s tune, they lose Scotland and the north.
Labour lost millions of votes that they will never get back in under a decade if ever . Labour are the total opposite of what people want . Labour want more mass immigration , more multiculturism , more gender diversity , more ethnic diversity , they are pro Islam and pro EU . Labour MP's went against the wishes of the majority that wanted Brexit . Rather than admit the truth Labour blame all their failure upon anti-semitism . Corbyn preferred to loose many seats in the North for gaining 2 seats in London . Blair the Liar hijacked the Labour party and along with his cronies destroyed the Labour party and everything it stood for . It has never recovered as it recruited all the wrong people such as Chuckup Umunna . Labour are heading for extinction fast . Out of the ashes might rise two parties ,one of which will be made up of the few Labour back bench MP's who represent the working class and will continue to exist but a far smaller scale than in the past . The second party will consist of the front bench MP's and Labour hierarchy that the traditional Labour voters hate so much as all are self serving ego maniac liars who are only out to line their own pockets with no regard for the people they expect to vote for them . This party will be gone almost instantly
They actually listened to actual Tories ?
And actually believed them ? ?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaàaaaaaaaaaaaw !
People wanted the referendum vote to be carried out and sadly only voting Tory was there a chance of getting what they voted for.
True but now we all suffer with the consequences, more rights have been stolen than every but hey
And now look what has happened as a result, you were all warned time and time again how disastrous it would be, but you chose not to listen and now what you referred to as "Project Fear" is now "Project Reality". Your arrogance cost you dearly.
We’re still waiting for the benefits of Brexit however
@@Pierrick2009 Early days, we have just managed to get away from the bloodsucking grasp of the EU. But two things you can see have already happened, despite remoaners saying when we left the EU house prices would fall in fact they have never been higher, and also they said the stock market would crash, it's never been higher, so we are well on the way to being Great Britain again.
@@ronvonryan House prices never been higher? AND YOU THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING?
"well on the way to being Great Britian again." Good God you're utterly delusional.
Why did labour lose any seat? Because they are arrogant and think the British people are sheep that blindly follow the shepherd. Sorry but no, the public woke up and realised today's labour is not the labour that used to be for the working person. The people also have a sense of pride in the way that they want to work for what they have, not rely on handouts all the time

If you've ever visited Bolsover you have to ask what did Skinner ever do for his constituency? Where is the inward investment?

@@yangziouhci7014 It's no joke. That's the mentality.
It’s not an argument. He has his reasons but he’s not telling.
Labour cared more for mass immigration (illegal PR otherwise,) sucking up to Political Islamists & the EU, as well as spending tax payers money on free stuff rather than concentrate on keeping us sovereign & safe.
"Free stuff"-- like hospitals, schools, nurses, police lol.
Because hard working people here want to get ahead and give their kids a good life, good education, own a house, have good jobs. They don't care about Own Jones demanding people use certain pronouns and they got fed up of champagne socialists in London patronising them and telling them they are stupid. Labour totally lost the working class🇬🇧
Owen Jones isn't an MP?
Dennis Skinner is a working class brexiteer
Thank fuck
Labour believe they have taken the working class as far as they can now their focus is on minorities the unemployed and immigrants but firmly believe the people they deserted will continue to support them
The immigrants are the only ones working
I had a discussion with my local Labour candidate shortly after they announced their policy on membership of the EU, & asked her to explain what the policy actually was. She's a fanatical remainer so was over the moon at the thought of overturning the referendum result. We live in a strong leave area and I pointed out to her that the party leadership had effectively raised 2 fingers to 17.4 Million voters... and therefore WHY should they vote Labour?
Her response was patronising at best, effectively assuming that the Red wall would stay red as "why would they vote Tory, they're Labour." I pointed out that Labour had just recieved a pasting in the EU elections, with the Brexit party taking seats in those Labour seats. She shrugged. I told her that Labour had shot themselves in the foot and would take a hammering in the next GE for precisely that reason and attitude. I called her on the 13th and said "I told you so".
She was right to tell you what she did. Where are the Brexit Party now? Can you look yourself in the eye and honestly say that Brexit has been a success? It clearly hasn't. Assuming Labour win the next election, Starmer is going to have to face up to this reality. The UK needs some re-alignment with the EU.
Quite right. Labour should come out and commit to taking us back into the EU. It's hardly been a success since we left, which is exactly what was predicted. Anyone with half a brain cell could have seen what a disaster it would be.
Labour are done. Have a look at their party and leaders. Pathetic
Because they [Labour] are more interested in LGBT and ethnic minorities, ignored the working man completely and are too London centric. But Labour still don't see it. Even now.
Whilst Labour deserved to lose the seat I’m less sure that Dennis Skinner did.
It was incredibly difficult for Dennis skinner as he was an MP who supported Brexit and working class people in towns yet the Labour Party in 2019 had become a party that supported remaining in the EU and students in cities.
But he never changed much , just blamed Tories, his labour opened borders, and he never said much about it

If you want the run down north to get back to its glorious industrial past tax cuts have to be demanded.
Small business taxes are just far too high. Income tax levels are far to high and the silly silly regulations have to stop.
@King Brilliant Explain Step 3 again. Step 2 won't happen btw.
@King Brilliant what foreign aid has double the budget for nhs?i think you may have got that slightly wrong as the total health spend was 115 billion pounds for 2018/19 yet foreign aid was 13.5 billion in 2016 predicted to go up to 14.5 billion by 2021 but only if the economy grows as it is a fixed 0.7 percent of gdp as suggested by the U.N.
Oh dear. You're going to be disappointed.
Brilliant video. I'm from Bolsover born and bred. I didn't vote for mr Skinner for the last 2 elections. This time was his hard party line which he followed. I think he should of retired in 2017 but he's still well liked even with his defeat.
Does he still live in Bolsover?
@@detnies never has. Clay Cross. Just up the road
I get that. But do you really feel the Tories will represent you? Boris never has cared and neither will Sunak.
You just need to drive around the former coalfield areas of north Notts and Derbyshire to know the answer to that. They are in a worse state than the rest of the region. Take it from someone who is from there and knows the area well.
The vote was to leave EU .This was not carried out .Labour prevaricated. Concerns over immigration were not addressed . Skinner was the most honest politician in pariiament so this gives some indication of the feeling there .
Because Labour isn't about Labour any longer. Labour is about dissolving the electorate and importing new subjects from the most benighted populations the world has to offer.

Watch these clowns complain about the Tories ignoring them the next 5 years. They absolutely deserve it.
Things haven't improved here for nearly a decade, so we'll vote for ... the people who've been in charge for that decade. Ok.
Why do you assume "things haven't improved for nearly a decade"? Brexit has proved a distraction but employment has been at record levels and inflation has been stagnant with record levels of inward investment. The cycle of British politics since the sixties seems to be that the Conservatives have 2 or 3 terms in Government with the economy doing fine and then there is a mood for change for change sake and Labour have a go and spend spend spend. The Conservatives then get voted back in and have to pick up the pieces and cut costs. The Conservatives get things back on track only for Labour to f*ck it up again.
In 2010 the Conservatives inherited a country that was trying to recover from the financial crash caused in no small part by Labour's bank deregulation coupled with spend spend spend over the previous thirteen years that left the UK potless. This period saw a ridiculous and unsustainable increase in the welfare state and sanctioning of mass immigration that have both undermined the fabric of British society. Not to mention an illegal war or two.
If the current Labour party were looking for a job I wouldn't give it a broom let alone allow it to run a country.

- An 87 year old incumbent, with not near the same energy as he would have previously, to either campaign or work for his constituents
- that incumbent being unable to campaign due to being in hospital with a hip complication
- despite Dennis Skinner being a lifelong brexiteer, he repeatedly voted against Brexit in his last year. People don't appreciate that.

“Labour don’t care about working class people they only care about old people” That young woman does realise 65% of people under 30 voted for labour doesn’t she? This was the best manifesto for young people, that will ever be seen in British politics.
Lazarus are you talking about the labour manifesto being the best manifesto for young people ever??
Ian Brown No it wouldn’t have Mr brown. Do you know why the country went bust? Because Tony Blair was spending too much money on the country?? No because he spent £400bn on the Iraq war and bailed out the bankers to the tune of £500bn. Those bankers committed mass fraud of billions daily, yet we had to give them 5 years budget of the NHS and cut domestic spending. Under the tories we cut domestic spending like never before, yet government borrowing was the highest in history. They didn’t spend it on the country, where did the money go?
The turnout for the under 30s was much lower than other age groups. Labour isn't supported by 65% of the under 30s - it is supported by 65% of under 30s that voted.
Go woke go broke...even in politics.

My sympathies to those that voted Tory. It will only get worse.
😂i think people were just at a loss and diddnt realise it was tory policy that was making their life shit
Let's be honest, if Labour had 200 working-class MPs with working-class accents, mannerisms, backgrounds etc they would win 80% of the vote in these areas. These people know nothing about issues, policies, Acts of Parliament, foreign policy etc, they are simply voting for people who look and sound like them. Always have done, always will do.
5:42 -"And is it him [Corbyn] or his policies?"
-"It's him."
And yet Dennis Skinner, who's working class and has a regional accent, etc still got voted out.
He couldn't actively campaign. He was in the hospital due to an infection from a recent hip surgery.
Its all down to culture. The north is still very culturally conservative. Nationalist, monarchist, anti immigration, not particularly well educated. Blair sent half of working class kids to uni where they started to question what patriotism means, dont agree with inherited privileged, have friends of other cultures and nationalities. Theres a cultural divide between the generations. The working classes dont really exist anymore. You have the old working class that are mostly retired and a new generation of service workers. Problem is Labour is still doing class politics.
Looking 4 years later, that went well didn't it. What a success brexit have proven 😂😂😂.
Programme makers obviously see the result as a bad thing
Out of interest what gave you that impression?
@@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810 as usual just the tone and intonation of the presenters and voiceovers. A bit like when the BBC news announced the result of Brexit for the first time...it was like somebody close to them had died.
NB. I voted to Remain but I accepted the result
Born in Chesterfield, my personal history has always been conservative. As a schoolboy and student I was conservative and my leanings still today (74 years of age) have remained conservative. I am also a staunch BREXITEER and would have preferred my beloved British and Northern Irish homeland to have left the "eu" 3 years ago, immediately following the referendum, without any (fudgy) deals. I was typical as aschoolboy and student. My conservative youth years made me think I knew everything. I would listen to no one and nobody could convince me of anything outside that. However, over the years, the mellowing process has "kicked in" and I see the world, I think, more realistically. Things are less "black and white". As a result, I've developed a great respect - and admiration - for the character traits and sincerity I have witnessed among longer serving labour members of parliament. Two who spring to mind straight away are Dennis Skinner and Kate Hoey. Unfortunately, neither will be present as MP in this new 2019 session. Both have demonstrated a humane warmth and, where necessary, sympathy for the needs of traditional labour regions and their peoples. In Internet, I've watched quite a number of Mr. Skinner's activities and, in my view, he constantly radiates this warmth and sincerity towards his own history as a miner as well as towards those still active today in this profession. Ms. Hoey too, like Mr. Skinner, was and is a staunch BREXITEER and radiates equally a sincerity in contrast to the cold societies surrounding her. Hence I regret profoundly the absence of both. I'll be writing soon to each of them and, in the meantime, I wish them both well. Regards, Horatio Nelson.
@@Horatio-Nelson that’s a long paragraph, when you proved your stupidity in your first sentence.
Unfortunately as was shown before the election, today Johnson has abolished worker's rights. It didn't take him long to shaft the very people that just voted for him.

@@AlwaysAC it will be more than four years. Labour is still at war with itself.
Elite and middle-class cosmopolitan Liberal contempt for native whites - particularly the working class - is why this happened.
Because thick people voted Conservative.
People are worn out from the snobs in Labour.
Labour shouldn't have made themselves a worse option than the Tories.
Remember when Gordon Brown had a chat with that old dear ..... she said the main thing is ....immigration! Gordon Brown called her a bigot ........he should of listened !
She asked where 'all these Eastern Europeans are coming from' lol errrr..... Anyway, I'd say the issue was more to do with people listening to the likes of farage and all his bs 'clean break' rhetoric. Immigration isn't the main issue, distribution of wealth is
@@danielsurlis2244 mass immigration is keeping wages very low at the lower end the of pay scale . And putting stress on NHS. I'm all for the distribution of wealth for British people in Britain. Because people from other countries where the immigration comes from are not left wing or liberal , they are proud of their home countries and will Always put themselves and their own people first . And that's how it should be . They have a right to better themselves but so do I and I will resist laws that allow them to take it from me , my family, neighbours and countrymen . British people first just like they put their country first. What happens when you are nice and caring and sharing? You get walked all over . Give people an inch and they will take a yard .
@@gravyboat2370 I could be persuaded it plays a part. But it's not the main factor in why things have gone downhill and while all of a sudden the money has become available to reverse the effects of austerity all of a sudden I think it's fair to be sceptical of those telling us it is
@@danielsurlis2244 austerity officially ended earlier this year. The milliband labour party have stated that they fully agreed with austerity and if they got into power they would have made even more cuts . Remember the financial crash of 2008. Bailing out banks etc .....That's why there was austerity. It wasn't just a tory policy they made up for a laugh .
Yup, that was a lady who had worked in the Cotton Mills of Rochdale since she was probably 12.
Labour deserted the people who voted for them, the 2016 election results was the natural results.
i wanna know are you glad now u have a torie mp in 2023 what have they done for you or the uk ?
A very nice video, informative, talking to the locals, well done Sean.
The character skinner brought to the House of Commons was like no one else, especially the blackrod comments. Will never be anyone else like him. Supported his people till the end
Kinda like the acid tongued Tony Banks
Yeah not a Labour supporter but sad to see back of him tbh. One of the few decent left in modern Labour.
I get the feeling Dennis Skinner hasn't got long left for this world. I gather he never stayed around long after the result. It was almost as if he was relieved to have lost. He knew the score. If only Corbyn did too. Leave means leave,and now not a year/18 months down the road. The very idea of holding another referendum when the UK had already decided on what it wanted was the equivalent of that pointless unilateral nuclear disarmament policy that bogged Labour down for so long and made them look even more unelectable and untrustworthy than they already proved to be at the time
@@petergreen2552 Did he turn up for the count but then leave once he got wind he had lost? I know he had a hip replacement, its why he wasnt out campaigning. I believe Skinner said he would retire at 65? He should have stood down like his mate Ronnie Campbell up in Blythe Valley did.
@@BionicRasta I agree. How could he possibly serve as an MP at his age? I say a cut off age of 70 should be brought in for all who wish to sit in the Commons.
Oh bolsover, so much to answer for...
But people who love dennis yet hate corbyn do realize that their politics are almost identical? (Bar brexit). They are both firmly of the labour left and always have been. Am I really missing something here?
Class divide.
Labour are now too different from the very most of the Working Class and many in Labour have hostility to that class and adopt positions that are completely at odds with their interest but look good on paper.
make sure that they lose it again.
Go woke go broke
Farage's strategy was right then..
Rotherham has gone though. Labour has embraced Islam and despite its corruption has enough Muslims to keep them in power for good.
Rother Valley got rid of Labour, as same as Bolsover , old mining communities with few Muslims.
Although the reason for our nation been in such a mess is mainly a spiritual problem, not a political one. We have rejected Christianity and the Bible.
I don’t think the tories will do anything to help the people in this area but don’t blame them for feel disillusioned.
Of course they won’t they’ll just take the lent support from the north and continue to leave the north derelict.
@@MarcusBlueWolf I live in Leeds. Is it 'derelict'?
@@yorkshiremgtow1773 How much have council budgets been cut by the Tory government towards labour run councils?
@@MarcusBlueWolf yes, they have been cut; but what's the alternative? We keep borrowing and borrowing, just to pay the interest on money that we borrowed previously? When Labour got into government in 1997, the outgoing govt was borrowing £0 per year; all expenditure was raised entirely from tax revenue. By the financial year 2007-8, they were now borrowing £41.5 billion a year; this is before the banking bail-outs. When the next government made attempts to get us back to an even balance-sheet, they were criticised for doing so, by Labour. So clearly Labour had no plan themselves to ever get us back to the circumstances of 1996-7, and instead, taxpayers' money would permanently be involved in interest payments to those who make money from buying government gilts.
Dennis skinner was brilliant 😊as an mp such a loss for bolsover
Labour were split internally over Brexit. A split party loses, its really that simple. The main subject was Brexit and the party didn’t have a coherent message. Labour couldn’t unite on Brexit for several reasons, mostly that the left of the party has always seen through the EU as a capitalist club. The EU is partly designed to keep wages and working conditions down through the free movement of labour. The right wing press took that legitimate concern and mixed it with “Othering” and the whole thing became a nasty mess. The Tories don’t care about that though, keeping wages low aligns with their goals, so a post Brexit Tory government is unlikely to address it. We are in a class war, the ruling classes are kicking our ass and pointing to immigrants as the root cause. The root cause is capitalism, the rest is a distraction.
more reason to never vote for the Labour Party again
It just goes to show; voters can get it right eventually! Need to keep trying in my area though then we can kick out Hilary Benn! 96 years since we last had a Conservative MP! Outrageous!
@@euanbell912 Ha ha ha! What a load utter bull💩! The looney party have always been bad news! They trash economy! As for the minimum wage that caused other problems. I had a friend who worked at Pizza Hut over 20 years ago now. Before the minimum wage came in he was provided with free taxis home when finishing late. However, when the loony party introduced the minimum wage these were stopped because they had to pay more, so ultimately he was out of pocket! That’s the loony labour way isn’t it? And as for the human rights bollocks what a load of utter crap that’s been! It’s made it extremely difficult to deport undesirables. There’s several thousand of them living in this country and most if not all are on bloody benefits. Makes you sick! The looney party are finished. They won’t be back in power for decades, if ever, and I’m glad!
How did you feel in 1997?
@@MS-19 Sick and worried for Britain. How did you feel?
One thing that gave me a lift was winning Eurovision!
@nigelkthomas9501 I felt like the Conservative politician Annunziata Rees-Mogg: that after 18 years, the Conservative government was moribund and failing, and that the public had made the right decision by switching largely to Labour and the Liberal Democrats. Tony Blair led an effective administration for four years and deserved his second landslide in 2001; thereafter we saw that we had elected a con but it wasn't until 2010 that the electorate managed to settle things favourably again.
One has to accept that sometimes one is in the minority, as was the case for Conservatives in 1997. A fifth consecutive election victory was just not going to happen.
One must also accept that there's good and bad in every political party's agenda. Conservatives take with one hand as they give with the other; likewise Labour. Balancing the books is a tricky thing to do at any time.
@@MS-19 Shame it wasn’t a hung parliament in 1997. That way John Major would’ve be taught a lesson and loony labour wouldn’t have had full control.
With the pending “review” of employment legislation I wonder if they’re still so confident in their choice of party.
It was damage limitation voting Tory, not because they like them.
Labour are so obnoxious arrogant that they are unelectable.
It’s who you trust the least.
The people who voted for Brexit were called stupid. They never forgot that and voted for the only party offering it. Corbyns manifesto with just few exceptions is what this country seriously needed. Capitalism needs checks and balances not allowed to run rampant.
The manufacturing industries have been running down since the 70's in favour of cheaper foreign goods we have become a service country ,the trouble is many have been left behind by this . Labour showed it wanted a more London based support and hoped the North would stay loyal ,When we didn't they called us Thick and Stupid . l'm no lover of the Tories but l'm done with the Labour party at least at the last elections the Tories pretended to care about the North Labour couldn't even be bothered .
If I didn’t know better, I would have thought this was the US election of 2016.
Yes, everybody in Texas has Derbyshire accents, err, keep up,
2024 or 2029 will be like the US election of 2020
People voted Tory to fix 9 years of the Torres 🤣
LOL, good one,
Yeah, we voted for change. What?!
Labour made a ballsover of it.
Labour lost because they spoke with arrogance and mockery against the people who cast their first democratic vote for "BREXIT". Their supporters also lost them the GE by tagging people as "THICK,RACIST, FAR RIGHTERS". Proof is in the pudding. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Name calling never wins for anyone.
OK, voted and got Brexit.
It's now four months ago.
How's it going?
It will be very hard to win these people back.
We can start by asking why they still haven’t got a job 5 years after Brexit and 1 year after end of FOM?
@@Pierrick2009 What if they angry with you and say, "That is why you lost last time. You are so superior!"
It's a very similar story in Blyth Valley where a Tory MP was elected for the first time here. I didn't vote Tory and was very skeptical at first, but Ian Levy has done 10* more in his short time here than the previous Labour MP did in decades. We're getting a train line built linking us to Newcastle, old schools are being rebuilt, a EV battery plant is on its way that will employ thousands in the area, main streets are receiving £millions in funding to be be renovated. We're finally getting funding the region has lacked for decades, voting Tory is the best thing to Blyth Valley.
This is very unlikely, the government is facing deficit crisis and long to rebuilding the economy. Like of governments of past its promises will shrink. Regional infrastructure development will be among the first casualties.
Momentum.. One word. Labour needs to ditch momentum and return to the people who trusted them.
Lets put the poor miners straight. If my husband had wanted a job in the mines NOT A CAT IN HELLS CHANCE Same goes with dockers and car industry. ALL CLOSED SHOPS. SO OUTSIDERS WOULD NEVER GET A JOB in those industries.
Sheer indifference. Treat the voters like fools. Demand everyone conform to their way of thinking. That's Labour.
And now they got the traitor in charge Sir Kier 😂 😂 😂 😂
Traitor? 😂

@@kingneptune8937 don’t think they bothered! What’s the benefit of voting Tory/Refuk if you live in a place like Bolsover (or anywhere else, for that matter)?!?
So you have the best MP ever and best advocate ever and you want change for change's sake. It's a lost for everyone that Dennis is no longer an MP. I wish Dennis well in his retirement and wish him a long life. He did good for the people.
its mostly about down to immigration, not who is coming or the skills they might bring but numbers. If every immigrant was white european who spoke perfect english it wouldn't change anything - its all down to numbers, the systems in place for infrastructure, nhs and benefits have a basis on supply (taxes) and demand. If the numbers go up, the spending to keep up with the demand has to increase, this is the reason why year on year the nhs requires a bigger budget.
tldr - its not who is immigrating, its the numbers, supply vs demand..
If in 2016 Jezza had said those magic words "We're going to get brexit done" he'd be prime minister now
No he would not. Britain has never voted for left wing loonies like Corbyn and Foot. Not even Miliband.
@polak polak Lefties can never admit their failure. The solution is never to move to the centre it is always to become more extreme. Under Corbyn Labour returned their worst election result since 1935 and the Tories polled the highest % of the vote of any party since 1979. And this is after a ten year Tory administration.
The economic policies of Corbyn were from the nuthouse. The British electorate has always rejected extremists. Corbyn is just another Michael Foot.
@@Kaiserbill99 Of course Corbyn's a left-wing looney, but he took away Theresa Maybot's majority in 2017. However, the evidence suggests that his support in the north was already starting to waver not because he was an extremist, but because he was seen as obstructing brexit.
All he had to do was firmly state Brexit Here We Come.
Given his extremism, and the even greater extremism of some of his colleagues (McDonell's basically a communist) I guess we had a narrow escape.
@polak polak Corbyn only polled more votes than Blair did in 2005 because there was a significantly larger turnout in the last election. In terms of % share of the vote Corbyn was lower than Blair and 8% lower than his share of the vote in 2017.
And Blair was an incumbent in 2005 having been in office for 8 years whilst Corbyn was fighting a government that had been in office since 2010. An absolutely disastrous result.
@polak polak spelling; its not it's 🙂
