- Rory Stewart is an independent candidate to be Mayor of London.
He quit the Conservative party after losing its leadership contest, during which he made short videos, walking around the country, asking the public to meet him and question him.
We went on one such walk with him around Brixton, before stopping at Morley’s for some chicken.

#GeneralElection2019
This is an odd episode of Chicken Shop Date.
Was the only conservative pm I could of trusted, gave it to you straight, no lies and generally seemed like a good man.
You could trust a politician who lied to his majority leave constituents just to get elected and stood on a manifesto he decided he no longer agreed with after the fact? You're the reason why we end up with the shit politicians we end up with. It's "I could have".
The man is a Jeremy Corbyn in disguise
Anyone who backed a 2nd referendum is two faced
yamabushi170 Farage said he wanted a 2nd ref.
I want a 2nd referendum 😊
What you see is a open and balanced mind but also a technocrat and former civil servant and diplomat- he knows the ins and outs of government and how to boost productivity; he does not care for politics and realises that politics causes division and corruption by appealing to the rich. Is he privileged? Yes but, he is principled and in a way reminds me of an old English gentlemen- caring for all people and open and pragmatist. Rory as mayor would be a fresh change for all: young and old. A vote for Rory is a vote for a new approach to daily life and the link to politics.
Yes, and he realises that someone with his privilege (and experince, gifts, and - as you pointed out - his understanding of many of the systems) has somewhat of a duty to use this to make lives better for people not afforded that privilege
A complete popinjay.
Wait do you actually believe technocrats are a good thing? How naive
Bk Bk 30000x better than career politicians.
Bk Bk if you still think a typical career politician can still fix more problems than they singlehandedly create then you are the naive one
A frank, knowledgeable, wise, fair, good, open and honest man.
New Joe Series "Tories in Morley's"
Imagine if one of the Millibands was in charge of Labour, and this man was in charge of the Conservatives. British politics would look completely different.
Yeah it would be fucking shite.
@@vidiveniviciDCLXVI an unintelligent comment pal, care to say why or are you just whiny piss vinegar?
@@Robin4 What an amazing idea. We could have socialist David Miliband on his $850,000 salary and poverty conferences in millionaire Aspen, or Walter Mitty Stewart. Perhaps we should also invite Ken 'I never read the Maastricht Treaty before agreeing to it' Clarke.
We need completely new politicians who aren't dishonourable and know how to tell the truth. Not the same old same old that got us all into this shit to begin with. Educate yourself.
Very true
Jees that would be great
Stuart is a rare creature for me - A Tory that I respect! He's principled, has integrity, common sense and speaks the truth. I don't necessarily agree with all his ideas, but I would seriously consider giving him my support, if I was a Londoner.
i feel ashamed of my self utterly for judging this great man and dismissing him just on mere image at first glance, i thought oh another dweeby toff, just like Rees Mogg. but i have binged on nearly most of his interviews and valiant speeches, i am kicking my self why i didn't vote for this man for his mayoralty election. I'm Iraqi and hearing him talk about Iraq resonated with me immensely, he absolutely understands local, regional and international politics, this man needs to be PM. without a doubt!!!!!
edit: i now realise he ended his election due to coronavirus made it difficult to campaign
This might be an unusual observation - but I admire the fact he can polish off his chicken and chips while talking sense and providing a fascinating incite to his politics. I think it's for the best he didn't win the London Mayor and he's now independent. With such genuine, considered and consistent views, the country will eventually be ready for Rory Stewart. By then, we'll really need him!
Best Chicken Shop Date ever.
Rory Stewart should've won the Tory party vote. A man of character, humility, and, unlike Boris has actually lived a little.
Shame him and David Milliband aren't running the two big parties.
Hear, hear.
He is a good man, he brought something different to the Conservative party. Its a shame he left.
I’d actually think Rory would actually be a pretty good mayor for London.
Wish the deluded conservative party members had voted for him.a true politician
i'm a tory and the conservative members have lost the plot, they literally would rather lose scotland and have a hard brexit (shown in a poll before boris was voted in) . Sorry but the whole point of being a conservative is supporting the union. Brexit love or hate it has polarised all of politics making the tories absolutely deluded.
No just a lying smack head
I like Rory a lot. I do believe he’s a sincere man and unlike the majority of politicians, he’s had to make difficult decisions. Once in Iraq, the compound where he was based was completely surrounded by a rebel group. The leader met with Rory (he speaks Arabic) and informed him that if he and his staff surrendered he would guarantee safe passage out of the city. Now, what would you do if you was in his shoes? In the end, Rory decided to stay and wait for reinforcements. He knew the history of previous British officers who left their fort/barracks. They never survived.
"Could I have a chicken and chips with Pepsi please". I laughed out loud for some reason.
Good manners are almost extinct.
Followed by the code switching mockney from Joe
This man will save us one day 🫶🏻
Probably another one of the greatest PMs we will never have. Put him on the list. :(
We need someone to clear up the mess, Boris will cause, come the next General election, come the man. The London Mayoral campaign will give him a great base.
@@barryhill3131 maybe, I'd like to think maybe. But Rory Stewart has ruled out a return to the current political party(s) as an MP. It's conceivable he may find a home as and when the current sh!tshow reaches its nadir and (again, hopefully) party politics start to change. Probably wishful thinking though. In the meantime, if he did get in as London Mayor, at least Londoners would have someone I think who would push back against a nasty national govt of whatever political stripe.
@@williamedwards3911 The Brexit sort out of British politics still has a long way to go, whatever happens on 12th December.
A see a gaping hole at the centre of British politics, its also quite remarkable how in a short time Rory has put together such a strong group of volunteers in London. Winning the mayoralty in a strongly Labour city may be just out of his reach, but a close second place finish and the momentum/supporter base will surely be there for the establishment of a national party.
Sit him next to Charles Kennedy
He looks both like a 12-year-old and a 40-year-old xD so weird seeing him get fried chicken
Haha
HMM VOTE LABOUR
Why is it weird?
@@thunor3656 because he sounds so posh
If he was representative of the Tory party even I would vote for them
0:28 Rory: "Very very well, thank you for bringing me to this..."
And his very polite order of "chicken and chips with a can of pepsi please".
@@tcstarr33 ale fajny bober
All these year on, he still makes sense. What a loss.
Good interview. I think I'll vote for him.
cool I guess im in love w a middle aged conservative politician
get in line
those sound like good chips, nice crunch. but did they stand up to the salt test?
The only tory who comes across as a genuinely decent human being.
STOP YOURSELF!. Stop falling for style over substance
@@scorpion32 Believe me, when it comes to voting, I vote based on policies. It's just nice to see a Tory, or an MP, in that matter, that answers questions and is honest.
One could only dream of having Rory run the conservative party, and this is coming from someone who just voted for Labour. Politics needs a reboot, down with FirstPastThePost.
Chicken shops - the new coffee houses of our time
The episode of chicken connoisseur is a bit different to the other ones.......
I have always held Rory Stewart n high regard, a man of honesty and integrity who would be an excellent leader of our county.
The only problem with him becomingTory PM would've been that the rest of the party would still be in Parliament. Despite the partisan support that he appears to have, I think it's also important to remember that the PM isn't omnipotent and the MPs that many people on the left of the UK's political spectrum still can't agree with would still be there - having Rory as PM wouldn't have changed this, leaving him, and many of the people that would've voted tory instead of Labour because of him, very frustrated indeed.
the only tory MP I don't mind.
Go Rory I’ll be voting for you
May there always be a Britain!
It’s quite funny to watch Rory Stewart try so hard to be normal and not have a gaffe
Nathan Pamment I believe that he’s genuinely trying to interact with normal, working class people. To me it doesn’t come across as false and just for show. His time spent in Afghanistan and Iraq, talking to various tribes and sleeping in many Afghans homes, has helped him.
i would never eat food in that establishment... especially sober
There are a lot things you'll never do, but do you feel the need to constantly list them all to thousands of strangers?
Never been a tory, but I have a lot of respect for Rory Stewart. I don't have to agree with him to know that he is the real deal. Christ alive, at least he's intelligent.
What does he say Sadiq implemented, at 13:00?
This is two years later but I think he said the “hopper” fare. Bus passengers that take two journeys for the price of one, within the hour. This was Sadiq Khans idea.
@@Lyuoe56 fantastic, thank you!
I think he was a labour supporter in his younger days
In fairness, if you're not liberal/left/social leaning in your "younger days", you're probably a bit of a psychopath.
Yes, he was a member of the Labour Party.
Rory, please come back!
he’s just a genuine guy , isn’t he?
He’s never been in a takeaway before
As a Lambeth resident living near Brixton I'm disappointed. I was expecting to see him in Morleys the department store in Brixton NOT the chicken shop LOL.
In the coffee shop,nah he needs that sick ass chicken, less lies when your trying to eat the grease and seasoning.
I sense he is the sort of man who normally eats fried chicken with a knife and fork haha.
Generally agree with a lot of the sensible things Rory says but I can't agree with his stance on Brexit. His plan would just lead to further acrimony and resentment. We just need to rip the metaphorical plaster off the wound and let it heal instead of prodding it tirelessly.
Morley’s?. I forgot they existed 😳
The food at Tennessee chicken up the Brixton Road near Oval Station is much nicer
Shame he didn't got in :-[ would be such a great Mayor and Prime Minister
My biggest takeaway, Morley do crispy chips... But what I like about Rory is his ability to openly rationalise and in doing so be able to explain his viewpoints with merit whether you agree with it or not. His approach to politics what politics should be about.
Love how Rory is getting stuck in
Thoughtful man. The role of mayor suits him and I don't think he would've been a good PM.
I wish Rory would come back into politics.
Morleys chicken is dead lol
So you didn't get anything out of tge video except for hurrrr durrr chickin?
Would prefer it if he went to the job center
Rory should keep reviewing trees 🌲
I like Rory Stewart. I hope he can remain close to the Tory Party.
We don't need you to eat
The best Tory leader they never had, but he's far too decent to be the leader of the Tories.
This Vs fucking Boris...... Rory is a good man
Seems like a decent guy but how will any of this happen with a Tory government and Brexit?
Rory was originally a memeber of the labour party.
When he was like 18 yeah
Apologising for someone else's behaviour has become the existential angst default for every bloody interview ?
good video but it was incredibly with rory pausing to eat a chip every second
He sounds like a labour mp.
shame he didn't vote like one
He was a member of the lab party as a younger.
Milo Holmans oh really? I didn’t know that.
I'd vote for him
13:41 rude host, friendly Rory
Yeah yeah he comes off nice but people know he’s a spy right? Look at his history....he admits he was working for one of agencies awhile but says not anymore but somehow safely wondered around Afghanistan on a walking holiday (!) no joke, was governor of a province under siege in Iraq & private tutor to the princes!
To be fair, he was attacked and shot at in Afghanistan. He later met the leader of the gunmen and asked "why did you try to kill me?" The reply: "Oh that was just business!"
rory do you use chilli sauce brother?
Good chicken at Morleys.
It all went wrong as the Torys had a remainer trying to broker Brexit and a Brexiteer leading the labour party. All good now though as Boris is going to get it done.
I like Rory but it now feels to much as he trying to be the cool MP that is pretending to not be a tory.
Boris the idea theif
He looks like the puppet from the music video of Evil by Interpol
He looks like Plug from the Beano
I really hope he wins lol
ok. I’m certain he will 😂😂😂
Please do not use this 'eat in a fried chicken place' format again when doing your interviews. It's very distracting and making me hungry 😔
Jesus christ, no. Rory Stewart is about as trustworthy as a wet toilet roll.
I didn’t know the green goblin liked Morley’s
I respect Jeremy Corbyn more for his approach. Its why he is a leader of a major political party and this alleged/reported ex-spook isn't. His efforts to do 'normal' would be hilarious were it not for his support of austerity.
Ughhhhhhh what pandering am I watching?!
Tory
This interviewer is the exact reason the rest of the UK hates Londoners.
👌
Jeremy didn't have anything to apologise for!
The real revelation Rory, was Johnson did what he said he would with regard to the withdrawal agreement. You said it was impossible, and then threw your toys out of the pram and quit the party when he proved you wrong.
No Boris specifically said he'd get Brexit done and has consistently since then but fails to be honest about the actual amount of time it'll take to even get passed the withdrawal agreement
@@veryfitting If you revisit the TV panels, Rory said Johnson could not renegotiate. Now Johnson's claims about the other stuff is up in the air... but basically Rory was wrong with his initial assessment. Ultimately, he is a Bilderberg shill.
@@britbox4517 conspiracy theories only mean something other than humour and intrigue to those who have no way of dealing with the perceived randomness of the world.
You and I both know he didn't renegotiate the deal he just renegotiated the back stop.
@@veryfitting Which was part of the deal. Thus the deal was changed. Not to mention the Political Declaration.
Do you think, even now, that it's all done with? One can't blame the pandemic for ever, for the awfulness of Britsin today.
Corbyn apologised continually in fact it was ridiculous he had to so often, the smear campaign against him was awful, Andrew Neil hasn't taken down anyone he merely engages in nonsense claims, I've never seen anyone take down Nicola Sturgeon and honestly Rorys position on Scotland is awful, it infuriates me when English people think they know what Scotland wants or needs. Too often the Westminster government treats Scotland with contempt and its impossible for any English MP to understand Scotland and its people because we don't share the same ideas or desires
So posh lol
Prize bellend
He won't win London.
Never trust anyone who can't look you in the eyes.

Vile toty
Umm sorry
I thought he went to Morley's department store, which is one of the focus points of Brixton, not some damn chicken shop.
You failed with me with your stereotypical chicken shop interview. Says a lot about BOTH of you. Brixton is not a chicken shop. You'd could have gone anywhere else, and I include Morley's. You are both entitled men taking a stereotypical view of Brixton, with your little cheap shots. 🙄😠
A pox on BOTH your houses.
Yes because going to Morley’s department store during Black Friday sales would be a swell place to conduct a serious, lengthy interview.
Where would you have conducted the interview if you were JOEs producer?
@@liamlyons6645 no because Morley's is never swamped during a black Friday sale. Most department stores on the UK aren't, as you well know if you're a Brit. BTW, the coffee shop in Morley's wouldn't be swamped either....
@@liamlyons6645 That's for him to work out. I'm not Joe's producer and I'm not doing his bloody work for him.
It’s not JOE’s producers job to make sure you don’t feel offended by a video of a politician in a chicken shop either
I don't know this guy from Adam but he's instantly unlikable. He's a toff and i do not believe for a second a normally eats fried chicken. He's putting on a show for the poor working class. He's taking is all for fools.
Listen to what he is saying and listen to his message , he is a true man of the people who aware he isn't one of the people and from a good background .
Look up his past and see what he has done before venturing into the commons - and then say he is a deceiving swine who doesn't care
@@jamesturner2914 I'll have a look thanks
Ignorant comment. Rory was born upper class but he’s one of the most pragmatic and genuinely decent politicians the U.K. has.
@@ChipZilla69 maybe do that before judging next time, k?
@@thunor3656 your advice is two years trip late.
Eating with his mouth open. Tragic. Vote Tory.
Why tories? To continue the economic decline? To underfund the police force and NHS? To continue with the rise of homelessness and food banks? To bring the uk into a facist era? If anything, don't vote tories or brexit party
ginger trump Get a job. Save. Progress.
@@andymrkipling exlpain to me what part of the conservatives ideas are progressive?
John McDonnell is in multiple videos openly stating he’s a marxist...
What am I imagining?
The NHS is overfunded.
We live in a declining British population. If we just stopped taking a net of 300,000 migrants we wouldn’t need more staff/facilities etc.
I’m sure he can share his smack pipe with all those he talks with in London, because they are objectively not British.
Working class people in Britain realise that Brexit is good for them, that mass immigration effects them directly, effects the services they use and the jobs they find, alongside the quality and pay they receive.
The only reason London does not hold the same views as the rest of Britain is because it’s population is not British, if you where to ask generational locals of Mile End how their neighbourhood has become a Muslim majority neighbourhood, i’m sure they would reminisce to a time (not long ago) when things where very very different.
Britain and British people do not want to their country go the way of London, and as such they have and will continue to support Brexit.
Do you really think that immigration is going to be reduced after Brexit? ahahahaha
Judging by the rest of your comment you are more than a little bit thick.
TheBenchPressMan London population is not British? Who’s using your brain cell today?
@TomaberFoyle No budget contributions to the EU, no freedom of movement and governments will no longer able to use the EU as an scapegoat for their own failings.
@TomaberFoyle You just asked what I considered to be the advantages. On balance I am not sure whether leaving the EU is a good or a bad thing.
With regard to immigration low skilled immigration will prevent wage growth and encourage wage stagnation, rising accommodation costs and acceptance of bad working conditions amongst the lowest skilled in this country, London being a prime example of this effect.
Increasing the overall size of the economy does not necessarily help the average person or improve the quality of life and at the end of the day it is unsustainable. A developed country should not have a constantly growing population.
Look at Japan, their population is more or less stagnant and have been in and out of recessions for the past few decades and their economy has barely grown yet their quality of life is very high, it is for this reason that I would say Japan is one of the only developed and sustainable nations.
Also if it was such an issue, ending free movement with the EU does not mean an end to immigration, less than half of all immigration to the UK comes from the EU and despite what the Tories tell you, not all those coming from outside the EU are highly skilled.
@@alanpartridge2140 yes because if the Tories don't they will be replaced and not by labour 😂
This man is so utterly see through. He's went to Eton, then went to Oxford and he's acting like he's 'one of us.' Piss off he's an upper class snob, who's utter contempt for people that voted for Brexit and thinks they're all dumb compared to him.
Sounds like someone has a chip on their shoulder. He is a citizen same as you, when did he pretend to be anything other than what he is?
I don’t agree. He may be one of the elite but I sense he cares about the Country and how politics could be improved.Doesnt mean I agree with him, just that I think he’s sincere. Compare and contrast with Pinocchio 🤥
