- “They've turned the governing of this country into a game of Tory musical chairs.”
Polls show the British public has “had enough” of the Conservative Party as even Rishi Sunak is at risk of losing his seat, says Times Radio’s Andrew Neil.

The sheer gall of the Tory party to complain about the threat to democracy from a weak opposition. You haven't given a fig about democracy or correct conduct in government for 14 years.
But was backed to the hilt by Andrew neil the hypocrite who backed bojo farage on brexit while living in the EU..
Sums his opinion up completely, do as I say not what I do..
I offer intellectual reasons to vote REFORM UK in the vid in my channel. It will give you the intellectual muscle and theory you need to understand your feelings of right and wrong. I have the higher education. Do not believe the projected seats. If a sufficient number of us vote REFORM UK we can win, the first past the post cuts both ways.
@@DrDanielHowardYou've got more chances of making friends with a puffer fish.
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k it would be nice if people could keep an open mind particularly as immigration is changing the country so much. I am Anglo-Saxon British but was born in a corrupt country and lived in such countries the first 20 years of my life and so I have a different perspective to a Brit born and raised here. That is a strong reason I am voting REFORM UK. I know what awaits us.
@@DrDanielHowardyou have the higher education? That’s debatable! And there are not intellectual reasons for reform, the new British Fascist Party. Back under your bridge,troll.
Tories finished. End of.
Canadian here: Is it just me or is it odd that so many are shifting towards Reform despite Reform being one of two parties pushing for what I perceive to be the failed Brexit? Isn't illegal immigration worse post Brexit? 🤔
Even tories don't like tories. Hence the concept of shy tories. What this lot have done is remove the mask. Some life long tories are dismayed.The rest of us have always seen the tories as inept privately educated careerists. They can't even manage the economy in their own interests.
Doesn't Mongomerie realize that the 'special pleading' of calls for a strong opposition is now an incentive to vote Lib Dem, such is the disdain for the Tories.
if he looks at the daily mail, murdoch, people like himself, & thinks that they're the ones who are going to be telling the british people what the location of the opposition will be, as his comment would suggest, then that in itself shows why it ought not to be
Really😂😂😂?
Labour needs every single vote. If you want the conservatives out, vote Labour 😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😅😅😅😅😅
It's people like you Andrew who have promoted Tory ideas. You are so obviously biased it's shameful. You and Kuenssberg bring journalism into disrepute. 😡
Really, what about the bias of BBC, Sky, Channel 4, and ITV? All of which collectively push a left-wing agenda. You're not competent or knowledgeable enough to comment on Andrew Niel's journalistic skills. How many MSMs beat a path to your door for an informed political opinion?
LK's bias is disputed, unlike that of the Chairman of The Spectator magazine and co-founder of GB News.
@@joesoy9185 AN has done many jobs where bias may be encouraged (editing right wing newspapers, political commentary). LK has stuck much more to reporting and (supposedly non-partisan) analysis. ANs biases are more in evidence, but I'd say LKs make her more unsuitable for the job she actually does. She was a sop to the Tories in power by a craven BBC.
Thank you for that. I was going to post something similar . I'd forgotten about the awful Kuenssberg!
And the bias of Fiona Bruce.
Johnson kicked out 21 decent but EU leaning Tories on the 3rd of September 2019. Kenneth Clarke, David Gaucke, Nicholas Soames, Rory Stewart, Oliver Letwin etc.
A man link Dominic Grieve would have saved Johnson but he was kicked out.
How can you say we should give respect to a prime minister who doesn't show any respect to us! You give respect, you get respect, you don't give respect, then you get no respect back!
Respect!!!!! Tell that to the veterans.
THe idea that the priminister deserves respect because he's the priminister is a farce. He or she will deserve respect when they earn it given the absolute showers we've had for the past 14 years.
Neil showing himself as the bootlicker he is when the establishment is concerned.
Who's on the right?
I agree. We need a strong opposition. They're called the lib Dems
Vengeance is the voting public’s!
is called a political "CORRECTION."....CONSERVATIVES WILL POLISH UP THER ACT AND RETURN .......thats all
How does share of a vote come down and stay at 20 per cent?
Oh yeah that was the problem.
Not mangling literally everything, just the fact that they had a high turnover.
You can swap leaders as much as you like, just get the sodding trains to run on time
I don't understand the "threat" of super majority. Even with a moderate majority you can get all your policies through. People have it would reduce scrutiny why?
Todays Tories arent a patch on old school Tories. Skillful Insider dealing was a core Tory skill, in the past they would have NEVER been caught betting on the election result knowing the result ahead of time.
Pass a law that a Government party can change leader, but they have to hold a General Election within 6 months ?
I've never voted Conservative or Labour in my life. I can't stand either party and millions are going to regret voting Labour, they have no clue as to what is coming to them. But if I was a Tory adviser, I would've won the this election easy. Just offer a series of referendums within 12months of being re-elected for Proportional representational voting, British Bill of Rights and free speech. Net zero and immigration. Change the civil service so that it is a rotation system, no government should have to deal with civil servants who are politically different, a government should be able to fire and hire who they deem fit. Open democracy right up and even put into this pledge to have an even more active involvement from the public, even on policy changes and allowing them to vote. If Farage made this his 'contract' pledge, even Labour would be in serious trouble also. I'll tell you this, if Master Yoda was real, he would be looking Labour voters in the eyes by Christmas saying "Fxxk around you did, Find out you shall".
The reason it Isn't worse for the tories is that they're already at their bedrock, and to go down from that requires quite a lot of mining.
BREXIT...BEXIT...BREXIT....The systemic economic problems caused by Brexit are going to remain regardless of who is in power. The "original sin" of this crisis is the Tories is calling for a referendum on EU membership. That blunder is going to haunt the Tories and Britain for decades to come.
Brexit was never implemented by this remain, globalist government
@@ianbetts4435 Desperate and meaningless.
Nothing to do with brexit all to do with that lovely man dave cameron
@@chucky2316 Are you trying to convince us or yourself?
Don't forget Cameron and Libya .
Come on Times Radio, wheres that clip of Sunak, Hameron & Stupidly that makes Rishi look even tinier that you always used - have you been got at????😂
8:06 I will call it special pleading....
Tories don't deserve to be the opposition anymore
This guy, Andrew Neil has got some Brass Neck - Mr Tory Boy himself. Times Radio is a disgrace. I see they like Tim Montgomerie as well. I'm sure they'll be recommending the punters to vote for Reform.
Andrew Neil sitting in front of a portrait of Andrew Neil 🤣🤮
This country does need a strong opposition. Vote Lib Dem.
Also Tim, PR would give the Lib Dems around 10% of 650 seats. 65 seats. Savanta predict them 50 seats. How is that much more than PR would give them?
Absolutely, Tim doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to PR.
Tories are done, can’t think of any UK election where the sitting party has been so universally hated.
I’ve been a voting since I was 21 in 1969, never missed a local or national election ever. I do that to honour my family who fought in both World Wars who believed in democracy.
Tory musical chairs is a good analogy, plus not listening to the public, theyhad their chances to change and they didn’t, this is where we are now.
Vote Reform 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧
Vote Reform!
Hows France today Brillo?
He's right that there will need to be an effective opposition. The left wing of the Labour party will provide it from within.
Too many drama queens.
Too many internal fights.
Too little respect for election results.
Off you go - don’t call us we’ll call you.
The way Reform will pick up votes is by the inevitable failure of the carbon net zero policies which both main parties have been associated with. Its better if Reform is not connected with the Tories in parliament. Such a connection would sully the Reform image. Happy to take Conservative members and voters instead and maybe odd MP.
Sully the reform image?
LOL. The 41 fascists have put that in perspective.
@@Geffo555 I don't think you would vote Reform in any scenario so your views don't matter. Do you take the views of the opposition to characterise your party? Its a well known cliché that the left says everything they don't like is far right, which saves them having to debate any policy issues.
@@alanrobertson9790 So what is it that attracts fascistic types to the Reform Party?
@@Geffo555 Why don't you ask the fascists that you know better than me?
@@alanrobertson9790 I'm not in Reform. Nor will I ever be. All too extreme for me.
ex RAF, always Tory now Reform.
Vote Reform. Andrew hits the nail on the head again
Labour would like to paint a picture that they have made themselves electable but the truth is rather less palatable; the Conservatives have made themselves unelectable.
Another truth for those believing the Conservatives are ‘finished’ is put simply:
The electorate does not like to vote for the Labour party.
I believe this is because too many do not like to associate themselves with being working class.
Labour have made a big thing by not even using the ‘class’ word.
It all about ‘working people’ - people who work.
Labour, will I fear, revert to type with their mantra based on the ‘politics of envy’ whereby they will find money and people in possession of it, to vilify so that they can be seen to be righteously taxing them.
This will occur if growth is seen to be non-existent of more likely anaemic.
The Conservatives believe in the discredited ‘trickle-down’ economics and find it hard to frame any economic policy that does not have an element of handing money to the wealthy in the belief that it ultimately makes its way to the less well off.
Those who believe the Conservatives are finished will be surprised when Penny Mordaunt retains her seat or is parachuted into the first by-election and becomes leader, then leads the Tories to government in five years time, such is the electorate's association with the Conservative party.
If the Prime Minister doesn’t respect the people and WW2 veterans then he doesn’t deserve ANY RESPECT 🤬
He does respect them, but he made a mistake
Do you know how busy a general election campaign is?
The busiest
@@laxeystu8096any excuse from the Tory supporters!
@tonyharpur8383 That's what happened, and it was a mistake
I'm not even a tory supporter - I'd say the same for any leader, I just think the episode has been wrung dry already
Andrew are you missing GB NEWS? Have you got a new wig yet? This Week is long gone these days but this veteran keeps popping up on many channels including Times Radio, owned by Murdoch, he was a big Tory support was Andrew Neil, but like many even he's lost faith.
@@laxeystu8096A mistake isn’t wrung dry ‘til it’s been paid for…
How they laughed at good ole Boris “he’s a real character “ then the political car crash carried on. Give me boring politics and running the country over this circus any day. “They haven’t got any worse!” Well when you are on the floor, there isn’t much more to fall.
Absolutely. Starmer should wear a red cap with “MPBA” on the front. (Stands for “Make Politics Boring Again”)
Same thing the sane half of America is saying: I'll take boring over chaos every time. The current iteration of Republicans (MAGAts) has caused US Congress to be the LEAST productive in decades.
Don't be silly you can always dig a deeper hole! Really put your back into it like rishi is doing!
I don't think "fed up" with the Tories describes it. It's quite a bit more than that for the vast majority of voters.
Fed up is the right adjective to apply to many voters who voted Conservative in 2019, however. And they are the ones who will be costing the Tories this election, by either voting Reform in protest, or staying at home.

I have the higher education. Do not believe the projected seats. If a sufficient number of us vote REFORM UK we can win, the first past the post cuts both ways.
@@DrDanielHoward : Oh sure - Reform can win the election with a 40 seat majority if they win 40% of the UK national vote, Labour win 34%, and the Tories only 4%. But that’s really very, very, VERY unlikely to happen…
He’s right: we are sick and tired of the Tories.
We are sick of the Andrew Neil's in this country.
Farage was a Tory and still acts like one.
The reason the Tories have changed leader so often is that their policies are simply doomed to fail, and rather than reassess what they are doing, they just double down under a new leader
"Are our policies so out of touch? No, it's our leaders who are wrong."
Worst government of my lifetime.
I'm an OAP, and I've seen a lot of governments. But this lot (Boris/Truss/Sunak) are by far the most inept and corrupt government we've ever had.
You must be under 15 then.
@@keithstevens8913 I'm 70 odd and the Tory Brexit is a disaster or catastophe.
You haven't lived 😂
@@keithstevens8913I always forget when I look at the voting intention graph that there’s still around 20% voting intention for tories. I’d not seen an actual Tory in so long that your brainrot took me slightly by surprise.
Anyone now voting Tory would vote for a sheepdog with a blue rossette
or
they have Stockholm syndrome
zero seats
LibDems for the official opposition
I'm voting tory purely to try and take the edge off a super labour.
I'm afraid that I must disagree; a sheepdog would do a FAR better job of running the country than any of the current crop of Tories. :)
Usually vote Tory but they are worse than useless. Reform for me this time round.
The Tories have supplied so many reasons for us to hate them, it might be their only real achievement.
They haven't done any of the things they said they'd do.
Is there a Guinness Book of Records entry for most scandals in a political term? Boris would easily win the most lies category. Miss Pork Markets (2014) has to be in with a shout of most inept world leader.
The Tories have only ever had ONE policy !
Take from the poor and give to the rich !
Sunak awarded government contracts to his wife's company millions of pounds.
he awarded his farther in-law contracts to . hes in it to make his family empire richer
Not true. Even a pm can't award contracts . This government has been awful but no need to lie
Tory’s have done all the lying!
Even the media have lost it now...
Voting against the Tories, by Jove Andrew I think you've got it!
Even the sheep 🐑 ran away from Sunak on the farm
The World's Cleverest Sheep!
THE SCALE OF THE TORY DEFEAT IS THE GREATEST BREXIT BENEFIT EVER.
Yeah !! I agree !
Labour party were equally split, ref Red Wall. Why do you think rejoining EU isn't on Labour agenda?
@@alanrobertson9790 Rejoining isn't on the Labour manifesto out of pragmatism. Many still cling to the dream of Brexit, and Starmer cannot afford to alienate them. But Labour will still put an end to all the contentious posturing that Mail readers seem to like. And we clearly need a more practical relationship with the EU.
@@alanrobertson9790: The EU referendum of 2016 was less than 10 years ago. It’s still too early to hold another one. And the next Labour government should not apply to rejoin the EU without getting a mandate from the people in another EU referendum first.
Rejoining the EU should be a top issue in the 2029 general election, in 5 years’ time.
@@timonsolus Agree with your views expressed on timing and mandates. My point is that both main parties were split by Brexit, so its not in either parties to make it an issue unless they want to lose half their votes. Yet for some reason we keep getting message such as Brexit broke Tory party which is a very one sided way of looking at things.
Tell me that's not a portrait of himself on the wall.
It is!!!! My word!
It's a bit like the picture of Dorian Gray.
It frowns when he says bad things about the Tories.
@@Geffo555bore-ian
The Tories chose a leader who lies rode roughshod over our democracy and led to a ruinous brexit. And now they appeal that a weak opposition is not good for democracy. Maybe they should have thought about that before. Just go!
They should have bought a mirror, they might have seen the problem.
Err. Didn't democracy produce a brexit result?. You want a vote, vote and vote again 'democracy' until you get the answer you want.
@@brianwillson9567 Democracy is about making informed choices. The 2016 referendum was more of a misinformed choice. And democracy isn't about making one final vote.
@Geffo555 only "misinformed' by the bbc, the msm and the establishment. Fortunately so many saw through the misinformation agenda.
@@brianwillson9567 Not if the democratic process was corrupted by Tory lies.
I’m fed up with the Tories and Andrew Neil.
NEIL IS ONE OF THESE EX.SCOTS WHO MADE HIS MONEY/LIFE IN HIS BELOVED ENGLAND OR MAYBE NOW FRANCE,
Respect is earned.
Andrew A person has to earn respect, the Tories haven't.
At least Sunak brought inflation down after Truss sent it soaring to stratospheric levels with her disastrous Budget… so he deserves respect for that at least. Not enough to vote for him though.
@@timonsolus Inflation has dropped in every country. Has Sunak done it all? Or is the world just bouncing back.
@@timonsolus no Sunak brought nothing down. As he said he didn't cause the increase he can't claim a reduction. That was The Bank of England.
@@timonsolussunak had nothing to do with inflation falling
Lol he made loads of money when people suffered
The only person i want to see the back of more than Sunak is Andrew Neil. Political Elite Crony
A read that the Tories could end up with 36 seats oh dear how sad never mind.
That would be fantastic - but it would require a high turnout from progressive parties’ voters, and also a very high level of anti-Tory tactical voting.
The lack of self awareness with the likes of Montgomery are incredible. He is the walking embodiment of what people dislike about this crop of Tories and true to form, it’s all the fault of others.
Is that the guy who in every interview mentions how Sunak is a thoroughly decent and good person? 😂
Just to be clear: Rishi is a total Bawbag, but I'm not voting against him, I'm voting against the Tories.
Andrew noel is one the most expert on politics I've ever seen..I thought Robin day was good but Andrew eclipses him .he s flipping brilliant.
More air time for Conservative Home - this guy can pick and choose his media outlets. He is aligned to a discredited and dysfunctional rabble - why give him so much air time?
"Whoever the Prime Minister is, they deserve our respect"
Lol, no. Boris was devoid of any respect for anyone else. They shattered that as well. Respect is earned.
Andrew Neil, you enabled them with your platform so dont come here screaming. You are part of them, you are a long life Tory right wing man.
He’s such a hypocrite this guy! Mr Neil was cheering it on with is Pom poms. The whole time it was happening. Now stands back and correctly narrates.
True. I offer intellectual reasons to vote REFORM UK in the vid in my channel. It will give you the intellectual muscle and theory you need to understand your feelings of right and wrong.

I can't be the only peraon who has lost all respect for Andrew Neil. I won't be watching.
I use to hang on to every word uttered by Andrew Neil during elections, at one time. Now I think he's as tired, as boring and as imperceptive as the Tories have also become.........
Did this guy just figure this out now?
Wow. So insightful. What a truly awesome intellect. I could never have come to these conclusions.
Who has a picture of themselves in their wall?
Aha Andrew, that man of the people -- preferably those with money,
Not a game of musical chairs, a Game of Thrones!
03:20 "whatever you think he's still the prime minister and deserves respect.." WTAF😳😱😱🤬🤬
People are sick of the Tories AND THEIR CLIENT JOURNALISTS!
This includes you, Andrew.
He deserves respect...?? Why? Did they respect us when imposing austerity when they should have got the money from those who took it? Did they respect us when we couldn't see dying loved ones when they partied...?
Sod him. I didn't vote for him as PM.
Dear Times Radio, fantastic content but please stop putting the 30 second flashforward clip in at the beginning of each video. It's very disorientating.

We have had enough of the terrible standard of cabinet ministers and mps we have had from the Tories since 2010" I can't think of any of them being any good plus Brexit"Cameron then the Buffon and liar Johnson"how people thought he was the answer well they found out then COVID"the total mismanagement deaths then party lies' .The truss budget
Was such a disaster for the country and the Tories then sunak just not up to being pm and the biggest disaster the there handling of the economy has been so very poor and so we want change so good bye to this very very corrupt Tory government.
Tories its like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic
Its interesting in 1997 the Tories made the same argyment of dont give labour a big majority 😂😂
He says 'I think it's just the Tories they're fed up with. They're just voting against the Tories' with a high inflection like it's some kind of surprise.
If they get more than 100 seats it would be an incredible performance and testimant to how sick in the head a big chunk of the UK electorate is.
Whatever you say Oldman.
GB news by the back door. You Andrew have given the loon right a platform for years and your lacky Farrarge has been doing a very good job it would seem.
The Tories only have themselves to blame; They bought a term by using the extremist ideology of Brexit and now must face the cost - as must the country which is submerged in the consequences
whatever polls say, i believe that Tory will be only 5 to 10 seats all sitting at the far corner in back of the house lollllllllllllllllllllllll any vote for tory is a waste Vote REFORM we need the proper opposition to Labour gov
Proud of their record? Don't make me laugh!
But none of you Tory-loving client journalists complained at the time!
Andrew, the Tories as they were do not exist any more. Boris and Brexit saw to that. He got rid of Ken Clarke Rory Stewart and lots more of decent MP s
The people want the Tories out like flushing the toilet.
Conservatism has a bright future in Britain, but the Conservative party does not.
Did Sunak just clap that man in the back, makes a change from his back stabbing of people
He made alot of money out of that tory coalition remember it like yesterday andrew
As Sunak said, respect is earned. He has demonstrated time and time again he has not earned that respect.
The Tories have made the great offices of state a joke, you can't blame the public for that
If you want tory policies without the tories, vote Labour
Guilty as charged .
Brillo is part of the problem and should be brought to account
Andrew is also part of the problem.
Unless you have a crown on your head who sits under a portrait of themselves ?
Tory vote share hasn't fallen any further as some people will vote for "their" party no matter what.
