  • Rishi Sunak has poured a bucket of cold water over speculation he could call a May General Election - claiming instead that his 'working assumption' is a vote in the second half of this year.
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
    That left his opponents distinctly unimpressed - as Sir Keir Starmer made his own pitch to voters in Bristol - our senior Political correspondent Paul McNamara reports.

      What are you talking about? Boris was calling for a ge over and over again while PM and labour refused. Boris dared labour to call a vote of no confidence and they refused to do it. Then when labour has favoeable polls they ask for a general election. Rishi has done nothing to warrant losing confidence in Parliament the people voted overwhelmingly for a 5 year Tory term in 2019. At some point elections have to have consequences.

      These people aren’t thick I’m sure they all have jobs in which they have a more immense and specialised knowledge than you. That being said yes there are a few that are less knowledgeable in politics (despite the first person being interviewed and a few others giving very reasonable answers).
      This by no way indicates any failing of the process. People who are ‘thick’ shouldn’t get to vote? Who next according to your world view? The mentally impaired, the disabled etc.
      There are enough of an educated electorate on politics to cancel out the ignorance on both sides anyway.

      One thing I do like about your system is the length in time one party has been in control makes comical for them to blame the current shitty conditions on anyone else. Here, there’s rarely more than 4 years where either party has control. (Which actually has changed… the Supreme Court is now a defacto permanent extremely right wing branch of govt for the next 20-30 years. I would not be shocked if they returned to upholding general segregation and race based slavery if those cases went before the court; I’m not exaggerating unfortunately)

    Lord Starmer has said very little to challenge to the government on any particular issue. (Of which there are many).
    Unfortunately this points not just to an impossibly weak Prime Minister but an unelectable (so-called) opposition.
    The choice at the next election seems to be between Mr Sunak (who is woefully inadequate) and Lord Starmer who is simply inadequate. What an interesting, nail-biter...
    I'm sure the journalists can do better trying to drum up a tiny bit of excitement about either idiots we have to chose from.

    The UK has gone through some very hard times lately. While Theresa, Boris, Liz, Rishi, and the bickering Tories have not significantly improved living conditions in the UK, the people of the UK have done the most damage to British trade that is the economy. The British people have the luxury of blaming the Tories because they have the right to elect or choose their government. But because they have the right to elect their government then it is the people who are to blame for their own predicament. Let us not forget it is the British people themselves who voted for Brexit and the Tories had to govern the UK while being handicapped by Brexit. Countries like Communist China cannot vote for their government so they suffer at the hands of an incompetent authoritarian Communist regime who has no idea how the create a modern industrialized free trading society. But there is hope with a general election coming up. Keir Starmer and Labour have a chance to take the UK in a new direction. Peter Kyle MP is the Shadow Science and Technology Secretary. You have to wonder what is the value of having a "shadow" minister. He has no power in setting and executing policy so why is there such a position? Is his position another useless fantasy position that only exist for Sky News to use on an interview? Peter Kyle keeps saying that Keir Starmer has a concrete plan to save the UK. But if you listen to Peter Kyle he remains extremely vague. One concrete statement by Peter Kyle is to have the fastest growing economy in the G7. That is very difficult. The G7 has the most developed, industrialized countries in the world. Like the US, Germany, or Japan. Can Keir Starmer and Peter Kyle say the magic words and accelerate the UK pass these countries. It is great that Peter Kyle and Labour wants to sail pass the G7 countries in terms of economic growth but that is a . Neither Keir Starmer nor Peter Kyle have presented a concrete plan to achieve that . Subsidizing renewable energy like windmill power farming is pandering to left wing political correctness and not a real solution for economic growth. In fact, using public money to subsidize windmill power farming is a recipe for economic disaster. Peter Kyle's title involves and . The was developed by academic researchers. They used electricity and quartz crystal to create a time keeper. Their device was the size of two full size refrigerators. Private companies of the US, Japan, and Western Europe countries took of research and development to make a practical clock for a table or a watch for someone's wrist. is the practical application of scientific principles. That practical application must be turned into something that is useful and affordable before you can commercialize it and make a profit. Once you can do that then you can build an assembly line and hire people to work on that assembly line. That is when the average worker can make a descent living, raise a family, and grow the economy. Private companies invested their resources (money) to develop that science into a technology. They might succeed or they might fail. Does Peter Kyle and Keir Starmer understand that? Does the Labour Party understand that? Socialism and communism do not understand that. The Tories have had their chance to lead the UK. Tories have not been honest with the UK. The people of the UK do not want to hear the truth. It is time for another political party to lead the UK. I hope Keir Starmer and Labour will be honest with the British people. I hope Labour will be realistic and lead the UK in the right direction.

    The election was always going to be held later in the year. CH4 were reporting such last year. That was always the case. Gosh knows where anyone in Labour got the idea of a May election but anyone with half a brain knew that was never really a thing going to happen.
    I loved Starmers response to no one knows what you stand for. "Oh well, like I said before I stand for buzzwords with no substance"
    Then the shadow science & tech guy talking pure fantasy with zero substance about the UK magically becoming the fastest growing economy in the G7. He's talking about growth before he's even considered the expansive issue the UK has with low productivity.
    9 months out from an election and the only concrete Labour policies we've heard about is Angela Rayners school lunch program which started its life as a brain fart on live television when Rayner couldn't come up with a single Labour policy when asked what Labour stood for. And their plan to "reform" (slash and break up) the NHS.
    The truth is, even they don't know what they stand for, and they're willing to change their policies every week in order to chase the popular vote. They stand for not being the Tories and hope that's enough to win, even though you actually have no clue what you'd get under Labour. We do know however Starmer is happy to openly back genocide and claim to be taking his policy positions from Washington.
    How does Downing Street meaningfully become the fastest growing economy in the G7 by following the policy positions and directions of another G7 member? Labour are lying through their teeth and know it.
    It's time to show the major parties you won't stand for their shenanigans anymore. Vote independent this election, vote both major parties out of office.
