'On reflection, it was mistake to become Prime Minister.'
to be born?
it was for us
All of their prime ministers have been mistakes over 14 years
😂
That's the polite way of saying he is UTTERLY INCOMPETENT and completely out of his depth. From one disaster to another that has brought the country to a National Crisis and bankrupt the government with gov debt now over 100% of GDP.
We would have been better off if he had just never stood for PM and Tories had kept Boris Johnson who despite his personal mistakes at least had leadership qualities and clear policies that connected with the electorate..
Boris delivered on Brexit by DRAGGING his own party with him and having to call a General Election first to assert his authority and even then after close Parliament using the power of the Monarch just to pass the Brexit Bill through the House of Lords.
The Tory Party and Whitehall fought Brexit every step of the way. That shows how bad the Conservatie Party is and how rotten Tory MP's are who ran on a Manifesto promise of Get Brexit Done. Utter contempt for the electorate.
Sunak's government has shown a new level of utter contempt by lying to us consistently about the open-border mass illegal immigration crisis. It took him over 800,000 migrants a whole year or more to announce Stop The Boats promise. Since that promise, 80,000 more people have crossed the Channel in boats. He promised his Rwanda Deal would solve the problem. After spending £653 million of tax-payers money and building a £20 million luxury hotel-resort in Rwanda he's failed to deport a single migrant. He then moves the General Election date from November to BEFORE his NEW deadline for Rwanda flights to start because he knows full well no flights will be leaving UK before a November Election and he had absolutely intention of leaving the ECHR and returning the legal power to control migration and deport back to Westminster from the EU.
The only conclusion here is that Sunak WANTED mass migrants to come and its a continuation of both Labour and Conservative party policy of just keep bringing in more and more people to prop-up an unsustainable situation of an ageing population and increasing welfare State dependency burden and a low birth rate population. Government public spending has now surpassed the UK's GDP same as France, Spain, Greece and Italy. The UK government is now going into debt just to support public spending. So they bring in more people as a quick fix solution same as Tony Blair and Labour did.
Instead of doing real work and sensible governance, ie growing the UK economy through investment/expansion into Commonwealth of 53 English-speaking countries with have good diplomatic relations with. And having a sensible immigration policy based on quota-merit from Commonwealth English-speaking imigrants giving priority to those with a good education, useful skills or investment capital to start businesses. And instead of investing in our own people and encouraging training and diploma's in the private-sector for tax breaks. Moving the unsustainable non-functional NHS onto a means-tested semi-privatised pay-to-use model and encouraging innovation and efficiency at every level. It's barmy that a multi-million like himself with £653 million in bank pays the same price for prescriptions and receives free NHS healthcare when he could and should be contibuting much more into it whenever he uses it. Sunak didn't even pay 40% income tax on his £25 million earnings last year. He paid just 23% using a tax avoidance strategy.
Ironically it's Conservative people like Sunak who are the reason our country is in the mess it is. It's not just because of his increasing barmy policies and incompetent leadership, but because the UK has massive wealth inequality and allows very wealthy people like himself to hoard a lot of wealth, not pay taxes or pay less than the working class whilst getting everything subsidised by the State or free. That's just not sustainable with an ageing low-birth rate population economy. There's an insane amount of sheer wastage in government and the public sector. Billions upon billions wasted annually with literally nothing to show for it. There's hundreds of opportunities readily available for both savings and revenue generating by just introducing common sense easy to do government policies. Here's a few examples I'd do:
1. Online NHS Appointment slots. No more NHS clinic/hospital letters and surprise dates and odd times people often can't attend or forget about. Every missed appointment costs the NHS £100 or more. Tens of millions wasted annually just in missed appointments. With SMS/app reminders and people choosing their appointment date and time from a selection offered, that's brought down hardly any money wasted.
2. Means-tested NHS prescriptions. No one of high net wealth (ie over £1 million in bank) or income exceeding £200k a year should get subsidised NHS prescriptions. You pay the full cost or you take out private medical insurance. That would save the NHS hundreds of millions.
3. Better funded police. Use existing fixed-penalty law powers to generate revenue from minor crimes to fund the police itself. You call 999 in a non-emergency you get a £50 fine if you're a private individual or £500 if a business. You do a public order offence like littering, or parking on a pavement you get a £50 fine. Road a motorcycle on a pavement you get an instant £500 penalty fine. Drink alcohol outside in a prohibited alcohol-free zone you get a £50 fine. Every opportunity you can find for a fixed-penalty on the spot fine you use. That would probably generate over a billion pounds in revenue.
I'm sure there's 1,000's of ideas like that people can think of for saving and making money which to most people is just simple common sense and obvious. Yet it doesn't occur to our elected government Ministers or MP's? We have a bad budget problem and public sector in shambles and these lot in Parliament just move money around clawing back money from welfare reforms, higher taxes, and cut-backs on defense etc instead of thinking ok how can we make this more efficient or here's a way to generate more revenue without raising taxes.
That's why I'm in favour (and setting up) a better approach to our political establishment where the elected and electorate are fully engaged and the electorate is fully involved in decision-making and policy making..so the government can use the electorate's feedback and collective brain to make better informed decisions and policies we all agree on.
The thing is, if he actually respected the veterans of DDAY, he’d never have even entertained leaving. He would have told advisors no. He would have stayed. Actions speak louder than words every single time.
Sick of apologies. They mean nothing!
Especially if you follow it with more lies
Rishi sunak's days as PM are numbered
Sunak has no identity with our society.
@@JC-oy9ou There is more chance of me becoming the Pope than Sunak getting back to 10 Downing St.
@@JC-oy9ouare Over !
Is this guy the right person to be the minister for children 🤔 these politicians are a joke
Today, this so-called Minister for Children - on LBC Nick F show - admitted he had NO IDEA how much child benefit was....
It’s like they’re trying to lose on purpose.
He's having a bad day, got rinsed by Ferrari for it as well
The £2000 figure was deliberately misleading because of dubious Government assumptions and totalising over 4 years but that's modern politics. Claiming this was an independent Treasury estimate was a bare faced lie, repeated even though the Civil Service told Sunak that the figures shouldn't present it that way. That's Trumpian politics.
The thing that's frustrating is the Conservative are quick to point out that other parties don't have plans, are incompetent whilst literally being incompetent themselves. Like that claim loses its credibility on the basis of their actions. You can't say we arbitrarily put up numbers together that suggest labour will raise taxes and that's bad for the British people, when you've raised taxes by 13000 for each household since 2019, it's makes no sense
@@kb101istAnd when they’re asked what the plan is, they can’t answer.
It's one big Lie for the Tories. Doesn't wash anymore.
I actually think Labour tax will be more than £2000
The Tories are lying to the British public by continuing to push the £2,000 tax line.
They're just too shameless to admit it.
No wonder people have lost trust in them, especially after the last five years.
It seems honesty doesn't mean anything anymore.
July the 4th can't come soon enough for these shysters to get their just deserts.
8:51 Judge Rinder is everyone's face here.
How can you be the Minister for Children and not know how much Child Allowance is?!?!
Surely that's part of your brief to be aware of these things, is it not?
@@nimzgaz7049 why?
@@nimzgaz7049For the rich hopefully. The 1% can definitely stand to pay more taxes
another hapless candidate who sailed through his Tory party interview...they collectively have absolutely no sense of the public mood being insulated from "real life" issues
Rule 1 ) Tories are liars !! Rule 2) Never forget Rule 1 !!!
3) his wife won't pay taxes
It doesn’t LOOK bad… IT IS BAD! How dare he be SO DISRESPECTFUL!
Always sorry when they're caught. They only care about themselves.
The Minister for Children, how appropriate !
Sorry, once again. Their excuses mean NOTHING.
Little integrity little morals, little respect, little honour, large pockets and large self interest
Facts period...
And that scary election grin... 😮
like a schoolboy who forgot to do his homework
embarrassing
'Pet poodle ate the homework'
Apologie or not , he is what he is and has demonstrated his distance from British culture and ways.
He tries to 'curry 'favour.
he can't even help the veterans who are on the streets now -utter disgrace should not have left Normandy it was a slap in the face of the surviving veterans and the ones who gave their lives for freedom
Well said 👍
why do care so much about a bunch of old people who can't look after themselves. focus on what actually matters. focus on winners instead of losers.
Even Rupert Murdoch is deserting Rich Sunak.
Murdoch did the same with Blair in 1997. Wants to land butter side UP.
The man who divorces by text looks down on Rishi.
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence As murdoch said in America, "it is not red or blue" it is green. $$$$$$$$$$$.
He always follows the money
Why are you all surprised? Sunak has been attacking the sick and disabled for months now.
since 2010!
💯
Getting worse and worse since 2015
Should he apologise for his contribution to the 2008 finanical crisis and profiting millions while many Brits fell into destitution and then using that money to set up an investment fund registered in tax havens and subsequently funneling millions of potential UK tax money offshore? Maybe?
Calling him the Prime Minister is a disgrace in itself.
So long Rich man
So true he’s the worst PM ever
@@amreenazam9013 A few years ago I would have given that accolade to Thatcher, but at least she was a strong leader. She wouldn't let the EU bully us because the Tories at the time saw it as their exclusive right
The day was about remembring heros not about politicians who should not have been there@@amreenazam9013
it's good to see these jokers finally being called out for what they are.
What an absolute embarrassment and shambles, how can you defend Sunak is beyond me. But I suppose it pays well to deflect, lie and whatever else 🤡
Don't the tories know how to tell the truth!!!!!!!!!
Nope
Lies Lies Lies
Shows his priorities.
Lack of honesty, integrity, and competency. More importantly lack of respect for the country, for the service men and women, for the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. Disgraceful. And they think young people need to serve this country! They are national disgrace. We deserve better
Proportional representation has to be the way forward. Otherwise we’re stuck with these clowns forever.
Single transferrable vote is the only way to modify the electoral boundaries system.
At this point, I will take either because first past the post is clearly bankrupt as a voting system.
Oh dear! Mr Johnston, really! Trying to defend the incomprehensible and then, as Children's Minister, not know the value of child benefit. Unbelievable. No wonder the tories are finished.
Very good interviewers... thank you for that!
Rishi should quit the Mr Bean tribute.
Rishi sunak is richer than the king
@@JC-oy9ou The source of his wealth seems 'Murty' and unclear.
You can tell he is lying. Means nothing he is saying.
PM Rishi sunak will be gone soon
@@JC-oy9ou Not just him. The rest of the Tory muck.
Sunak has absolutely no empathy for Great Britain or its key historical events. This was an act of unparalleled crassness. Perod
The tory party should come to his aid immeadiately and help him pack his bags and get him out of this country as soon as possible,check his taxes on the way out though.
To be a Tory the ability to lie is a must
optics looks mad for Rishi especially due to the fact he pushed this out of the blue national service for under 18s to appease older voters/veterans and their view on national service. but he couldn't stay until the end of the D Day remembrance to show his respects , the irony .
Spot on
The hypocrisy is off the charts.
''YOU CAN TRUST ME FOR OUR COUNTRY'S SECURITY'' he said!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Tory Party KEEP DIGGING THEIR OWN GRAVE!
Yes, PM must apologis for misleading the public about £2000+ tax labelled on Labour Party.
Labour will put up taxes its what they do, no apologies needed.
He should just resign and hand over to Labour. This is a catalogue of debacles. Shameless Sunak.
You mean hand over to Reform we want the country made great again not trashed by socialists.
Oh yeah because we all know how much love for Britain labour has
Sorry, no party can take power without the confidence of a majority of MPs after a free and fair election. Just wait a few weeks.
Because the communists will be great 😂
@@manoo422 nothing socialist about labour ya div.
Sunak can’t keep making these mistakes. If he keeps going Reform will move up into 2nd place.
We're not even half way yet!
@@monged4life442And he’s already bottling it. TWO points between Tories and Reform already.
And Farage is on the debate tonight. That’s his strongest asset. He’s really good at debates.
Reform don't have any viable policies there just a FogHorn of gesture politics
That MP is about as interesting as watching paint dry with the charisma of a damp rag.
Unelected Crime-Minister
We are a representative democracy, not a Presidency.
He was backed overwhelmingly by his MPs so that’s enough.
If you want a Jacob Zuma type mouthblower, you’re welcome.
The Brits will get what they wish for...then pay the price. Don’t come and whine later
surat didn't apologise at all born lier thats what he is
the deed displays disrespect........apologies change nothing
Tories have given up, already they know its over
Labour is going to win the general election in a landslide
How is it 'alleged' when he did it on live TV?
His job made him the richest man in the UK he should be thanking the people not lying to them.
and paying his fair share of taxes
Apologize and lie and apologize! 😂😂😂😂🤪🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤪🤪
By the end of today Rich Sunak will be wanting a ticket to Rwanda for him AND his family. THE END IS NIGH!.

Sunak has nothing but respect he did not have a lot when he left did he Sunak must resign.
it was corbyn
He's squirming to the point that it's painful to watch.
The Tories are sticking to their plan. If all else fails, deny, deny, deny.
The only people to Defend sunak are GBnews …. Shame.
yes, but then he's a tory and he's used to lying
“Allegedly “ he lied is a fact he lied
Tories out
Rishi the Dumb: the secret weapon of the Labour party...
As someone has pointed out, if he didn’t want the event to be overshadowed by politics, why did he call the election now? It’s not as if he didn’t know this was coming up.
All profit from all US airlines doesn't total half the money spent on Ukraine.
Where does this money come from?
He should have had a word with the Racist Khan about the way London disrespected D Day
Sunak resign your a disgrace
Rishi big disgrace
Not good enough👀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧itv is this a joke
Feels like everyone is just waiting for this election to be over so we can move on already.
It’s highly likely that Labour’s going to get a strong majority, Lib Dems are going to make gains.
Reform are going to either lose seats for the Tories, or, replace the Tories as the main right-wing party.
And the SNP will lose seats too.
Hes an Indian he doesn't xare about this country only stealing as much from it as possible
His wealth comes from 'Murty ',shady sources.
Yes agree he won't give a hook.. He'll go off, with his millions, and sunning it up, in a big house etc. 🤦
What a muppet, never mind the offence this was a great bit of high profile exposure for his election campaign.
He is out of his depth.
Globopopulists are always clowns
Why didn't refused in the debate about £2000? Because he already have a plan.
Brexiteers have to show contempt for anything to do with the EU. He probably thought that it would play well to Leave voters.
Still stamping your little feet over brexit seriously.
@@snowyowel7961 exactly. Brexit has been everything that we were promised. The economy is booming. We have a wonderful trade deal with those nasty forrins in the EU, we've lost none of our rights to travel work live or retire to the continent, immigration is under control, fishing and farming are having a golden age, no-one threatened our place in the single market, and NHS waiting lists are down to below 2010 levels. What a wonderful decision 37% of the electorate (some of whom are still alive) took 8 years ago.
@@guywilletts2804 We only officially left the EU bureaucracy in 2020 and we have had the worst hand dealt us with the worst crisis since WW2 the unprecedented pandemic Afghanistan evacuation climate change war in Ukraine etc
Brexit has not had a chance.
We are doing better than a lot of countries in Europe.
What about nhs
Saying it'd be taxing working families is entirely dishonest, Labour have clearly stated who they are taxing - the rich.
The rich who have been getting richer the last few years while everyone else's pay is eroded by inflation.
Even during the debate, they agreed no increase on Income tax, NI or VAT (excluding private schools) Which are nearly entirely taxes regular working people pay.
Sunak should be Arrested!
Rishi didn't even want to attend 😒 no self awareness
Someone needs to tell this MP. Our Country is already overcrowded and we don't need any new towns.
It was disgraceful. The tories are looking more insdequate and corrupt daily.
sorry dont pay bills
He shouldn't even be speaking as a prime-minister he was not even elected he is not my leader
He should resign being a British citizen. He should FO to California
This is just another absolute disgrace from a prime minister that has not got a clue what is important to the country and it’s people but let’s get things in perspective we have Sadiq Khan who is labour mayor in London and did anyone see all the flags and bunting up around our nations capital that would be a great big NO .There’s not a picking between them and we need to have a big clean out of the lot .
where is Khan going to get the money from for bunting? taking away school meals perhaps?
And he's still doing it 😂😂😂

I see money is frequently cited in political discourse & in people's commentary. It certainly gets people's attention judging by the replies I see.
In absolute terms, money doesn't exist. When you create a credit you simultaneously create a debt cancelling each other out.
The debt only exists in the mind of the people subject to it. The truth is all money is debt. It exists only in people's perception.
It's a massive confidence trick.
Governments & banks simply tap more naughts onto a screen. Money is meaningless to them in this regard. Yet it has great meaning to 99% of the population. Hence the comments.
@@XAVR_
People ought to understand what's going on with money.
When governments talk money to the citizenary its perceived as meaningful. When the citizenary talks money to the government, its meaningless. It's all one way.
UK could have spent £1000bn on Covid 19.
It makes no difference to those who sanctioned or spent it.
Who's going to hold them accountable or responsible?
They face no repercussions as they enjoy their wealthy & comfortable retirements.
@@danielrawlings8355 the whole Michelle Mone scandal is deplorable. In any moral political system she'd be in prison with her assets seized and sold off to compensate the tax payer (indirectly or otherwise, I wouldn't say no to a "sorry for the cronyism" lump sum...)

2. Wet Squib lies and says his £2000 tax claim was authorised by the treasury

Not much to chose from, but will definitely not be voting Conservative.
