very difficult to solve the parochial stupidity that resulted in brexit. britain was definitely in a better state pre brexit. and yes, all the problems being experienced in britain are prevalent worldwide but brexit has magnified those within the uk.
"all the problems being experienced in britain are prevalent worldwide." Actually no. Its the West and especially the neoliberal countries (the opposite of liberal: reward the rich and starve the poor) that have it far worse. The EC does have systems rigidities which slow growth for some, but UK could have helped fix them from the inside.
I think so, If you work 8 hours a day, you should be able to afford a decent life with this salary, But in recent years you were happy that you didn't stay homeless.. This is not Life is slavery😢😢😢
The fact remains that 51.9% of the population voted to be poorer, have fewer rights and to hand control over to the British political class. It's hardly surprising there is economic distress, and we can no longer travel so easily in our own continent. It's true that the country is now rule makers, but the ruling classes reserve the right to break those rules with impunity.
Not true. 51,9% of the voters, not of the population. That included about 1 million Commonwealth citizens that happened to live in the UK at the time, even if just staying for a few months. Against this, the British legal immigrants to the EU and other countries found difficulties to vote even if away for less than 15 years, or were unable to vote after 15 years away, whilst many of the illegal (never registered) ones pretending to be "visitors" all year round, went back to vote against themselves.
51.9% of the people who voted. Not exactly the same thing. Also they were explicitly and repeatedly lied to about what would happen so you can't put all the blame on them.
Brexit was such a shoot yourself in the foot moment for the UK. The damage done is almost impossible to calculate. The ability to attract legal immigrants surely has taken a hit... employers have had no choice but to relocate a lot of their roles to other areas of the EU. Dublin has won big - due to English being the international business language.
My friends in England were comfortably middle class, one a professor, several retired. They’re now stressed out beyond measure, the insane hike in mortgage rates, groceries, cut backs. One can barely pay her mortgage, it’s at the expense of groceries and heating. She can’t sell though, because rentals have skyrocketed too. She’s stuck. The retirees fortunately have paid their home off, but groceries and other expenses are hitting them hard. I would venture to guess most Brits would say Brexit and the economy are a disaster.
The people who never were that keen on Brexit do blame Farage, but the 30% of the population that was strongly pro Brexit blame the conservatives for doing a bad job of it and so Nigel is still very popular with them.
The reason is the First Past The Post voting system. 60% of the population may think Brexit is a failure, but those people are thinly spread across the hundreds of seats. Many are concentrated in urban progressive areas. So even though being anti-Brexit is popular UK-wide, in key seats, Labour needs to win to form a government anti-Brexit that could cost them 30 - 50 seats.
'In a broken Britain, can a Labour government offer the UK a new start?' We've had endless (failed) new starts. What we need is fundamental change and no more tinkering like Labour is offering.
I voted remain but I don’t find a wholesale return the the EU very enticing. The EU has extracted the trading win in the Brexit deal but in the process this has poisoned the well and put off many Brits from wanting to get tangled up with the EU again. A return would be demeaning and involve a much worse deal than when we left. No one seems to recognise the strategic harm done by the EU to UK relations. Time will tell if that was a big mistake.
The only thing that can fix the UK is a complete electoral and judicial reform. Proportional representation and proper codified civil law. That should also be the base minimum requirement for letting them back into the EU if that ever becomes a question again.
I agree with proportional representation as this has worked well in Australia since Federation. “First passed the post” voting really only works when there are two candidates. Any more than two could result with more people voting for the non-winners rather than the winning representative. The UK (and many countries like Australia and New Zealand) use common law in civil matters but there is no really appropriate reason to replace this system with codified civil law.

What is the new start? How it looks like? What UK establishment must understand is that it is a very, very different world than they are imagining still thinking and living in the past. UK is a tiny country with very limited resources including bad cloudy and cold weather. It is an isolated Island even Europe has no more interest. Not London but Paris and Berlin are representing western Europe.
@@gogosegaga UK politicians are running around the world looking for trading partners . The EU was their biggest customer at their doorstep . Most MNCs don't want a UK without access to the EU . So wake up to the reality and check the facts and figures - the UK is bleeding and it's the poorer classes which are affected .
The immigration that they are talking about is only 1% is it important than UK people start to buy education for our kids , NHS . Public Service ? Since Tories in power the tutor company growth so fast . Friends of my daughter pay for math tutor £75/ week !! We paid tax for school how on earth the school can’t provide the best education ? Totally US system and like most of Asia where only the richer can have the best education . Tories love this b‘coz they want to private everything.
Why would you think high taxes can deliver good services? It takes good management to do that which is something severely lacking in the public sector.
We cercainly have no chance of any new start off the wretched Tories nor Foul Reform. Our best & only chance is with Labour. Keir has shown himself in his career as supremely competent compared with the chaos incompetence of the Tories. Against the absolute corruption of the Tories he's shown honour and justice. Labour is our best our only bet.
If it's only then it can't be the best . How has Starmer shown himself to be competent in his earlier career ? And how does that compare to working in Govt which is a totally different cup of tea ? Politics is a different field and it certainly can't be compared to business.
The real issue is that we have business man and woman in politics that want to profit for themselves and business parties and not do what's best for the UK. The system is really corrupt.
Brexit has definitely made things worse, but our decline stems from decades of underinvestment into industry, an overheated property market and 15 years of government austerity. All of our infrastructure has been sold off to foreign countries as have most of our utilities. Living standards are declining and people are upset and feel that they are completely powerless to change anything. The solution to this myriad of problems is a lot more complex than just rejoining the EU (assuming that was even an option). We need a national purpose and targeted industries that we want to be globally competitive in, with government legislation and sustained investment over a period of decades.
Britain is so badly broken, Labour is going to find it impossible to fix in one parliamentary term. The much-vaunted NHS, which Brits profess to love, is destroyed from 14 years of underfunding because Brits wanted tax cuts more than social welfare. The NHS cannot be saved without tax payers' money but if Labour increases tax, the British people will quickly turn against them, and will vote the Tories back in, lured once again, by tax cuts.
The real problem is that Gordon Brown broke the economy beyond repair. Starmer is only going to do worse but one thing may save him - Brexit. Unlike George Osborne, he won't be bound by ECB directed austerity.
Starmer will be remembered as the best Conservative Prime Minister the Labour Party ever had. He is an untrustworthy politician with no consistent opinion or backbone. He offers us nothing to fix our country.
Brexit was a costly mistake, but it's neither the main cause of the current problems, nor the main concern going forwards. The current crisis has it's roots in the austerity policies of Cameron and Osborne which crippled public services while failing to improve the economy, leaving the UK especially vulnerable to Covid-19 and also the inflation caused by the Ukraine War. If Starmer can't repair the economy then public services will remain underfunded and living standards will keep falling, regardless of whether the UK is in or out of the EU.
boris and his business men friends destroyed Brit economy . they are getting rich while vulnerable Middle class who they manipulated. Ordinary ppl paying the price
Re Brexit ;Ask yourself -Why?-& “cui bono?”. And why do U.K. multimillionaires go into politics or MSM? .UK is a wierd society -like a country concealed within another (the U.K.) if you inhabit the former you’re part of the “1%” -wealthy,privately educated e.g Eton then Oxford .It’s the connections you make that you’ll use throughout your life to become wealthy,and thus through UK’s arcane tax system pay less tax proportionately than those below the glass ceiling In U.K… so! EU decides it wants to harmonise certain tax legislation , money flow ,increase transparency in banking system . U.K. elite take fright ,don’t want the financially struggling general public knowing how much they conceal in tax havens .Mobilise “old boys network “ ,those who own the MSM to print anti EU stuff ….and here we are …it’s really that simple and venal Brexit was promoted as “all things to all men” and the English historical mistrust of foreigners.
You may find it difficult to believe, but more than half of those who voted for Brexit and were over the age of 70 at the time of the referendum in 2016 have already passed away. In other words, they handed over a scorched earth to future generations and departed. All of Britain's problems are caused by elderly people who have one foot in the grave but continue to harm the futures of future generations. This is a perfect example of British patriotism. I know this is difficult for some to believe, but the average height of five-year-olds in Britain has been declining due to poor nutrition and increased poverty. That is, since the Conservative Party took power in Britain and turned the country into a burned-out wasteland. Teachers in Britain have frequently warned that their students are hungry and unmotivated to learn, but the government has ignored their warnings.
The reason more than half of those who voted for Brexit and were over the age of 70 at the time of the referendum in 2016 is because older voters vote. The UK left the EU because of the people who didn't vote.
Unnecessary question. The answer is: "Of course"! But first, recognize that after 14 years of Tory Party governmental malfeasance that it will take time to repair the damage. There is no instant coffee.
A confused highly dogmatic most clueless politician and literally a priest in chief acted as prime minister for sometime of a colonial country? He thinks visiting temples and performing puja in public glare is a social service..no?
@@nicschu456 I do understand that but the ratio of the topic on Economics is too much. Don’t forget it’s doesn’t matter how economics is . We still have to pay same amount council Tax !!! Is government reduce the tax for us once the economics running down? The council tax cover education police , environment in your area. In addition , Road tax has been pay the same too but Tories use that money to where ? Why our road quality is running down . in the mean time the public transportation was so behind from EU too. Lack of management and corruption by policy so don’t blame because the economics , Covid or war . 13 years in power Covid war or economics issue didn’t happen every year.
That British guy conveniently forgot to say that much of the money going to the NHS is simply given to private companies, focusing on profit and not service. The Tories have accelerated the sale of the NHS, when social services should have stayed nationalised. The social gap in the UK,or better said England is dismaying and many people have no opportunities. Anybody depending on a payslip to survive, home owner or not, shouldn't vote Tory. Labour basic reason of existence is fighting for the rights of the many, whilst the Tories only focus on the very rich few. Look at Sunak's personal wealth, betting against the UK and making money disappear in tax heavens during the previous crises, now using his position to further increase his and his family's wealth whilst so many working people are destitute. That's the Tory spirit.
No, he isn't. Starmer isn't really my cup of tea, but he is at least decent person - a bit ruthless in some ways, but better than waiting 2 weeks to make a decision on a simple matter.

Can I just comment on the NHS ? ‘U.K. has an increasingly ageing poulation who are polymorbidic and have poly pharmaceutical needs . … Social services and health service funding streams are differently sourced .NHS is centrally sourced -so U.K. govt gives £XBillion to 🏴NHS and what Scottish ,Welsh,and N.I health services get is a per capita ratio of the 🏴NHS budget . However Social Services are funded by local authorities …who are part funded by central govt .14 years of Successive cuts to LA funding has had consequences down the line the result being “bed blocking”, The Tories say “we’re spending more on the NHS than ever before! “…well what they DONT say is “Over 14 years We have increased the NHS Budget juuuust above the rate of inflation “. However hospital equipment has a life span of ± 10 years before it has to be replaced ,medicines and treatments cost more as well .The last real big investment in the NHS was during the last Labour govt. However…Gordon Brown Chancellor the Exchequer didn’t want the Labour govt to be accused of being spendthrift somcapital projects like schools and hospitals were Privately Financed .The finance companies were encouraged with a high capital returns on the PFI loan . Hospitals have been saddled with paying off the debt since it started . Interesting fact -average length of a PFI contract =36 years average expected useful life of a PFI built school/hospital ….36 Years!!

So wake up to the reality and check the facts and figures - the UK is bleeding and it's the poorer classes which are affected .

The immigration that they are talking about is only 1% is it important than UK people start to buy education for our kids , NHS . Public Service ? Since Tories in power the tutor company growth so fast . Friends of my daughter pay for math tutor £75/ week !! We paid tax for school how on earth the school can’t provide the best education ? Totally US system and like most of Asia where only the richer can have the best education . Tories love this b‘coz they want to private everything.
Why would you think high taxes can deliver good services? It takes good management to do that which is something severely lacking in the public sector.
We cercainly have no chance of any new start off the wretched Tories nor Foul Reform. Our best & only chance is with Labour. Keir has shown himself in his career as supremely competent compared with the chaos incompetence of the Tories. Against the absolute corruption of the Tories he's shown honour and justice. Labour is our best our only bet.
Councils go bankrupt are all under Labour's rule
If it's only then it can't be the best . How has Starmer shown himself to be competent in his earlier career ? And how does that compare to working in Govt which is a totally different cup of tea ? Politics is a different field and it certainly can't be compared to business.
Not really. None are truly responding to the country’ needs
As a Brit, personally I support labour, especially around reform for our housing, energy and transportation sectors.
Councils go bankrupt are all under Labour's rule
Good intentions won't necessarily work miracles .
Sadly, I don't se a turn back from Brexit. The Conservatives opened a Pandora's box that can't be closed.
London still appears to be the global capital, give and take
The real issue is that we have business man and woman in politics that want to profit for themselves and business parties and not do what's best for the UK.
The system is really corrupt.
We had to pay Vat when we joined the common market to pay our dues. Give us that back now we are out then watch the country start to move.

@@qeitkas594 Its not about Brexit everytime. We no longer think about it, so stop sucking us to it.
Europeans kicked out and much more Asians in to replace them. That is the result of Brexit. It sounds like nothing but trouble to me.
Interest rate need to reduce . The centre bank of UK need to help people not just look after bank and investor.
Brexit has definitely made things worse, but our decline stems from decades of underinvestment into industry, an overheated property market and 15 years of government austerity. All of our infrastructure has been sold off to foreign countries as have most of our utilities. Living standards are declining and people are upset and feel that they are completely powerless to change anything. The solution to this myriad of problems is a lot more complex than just rejoining the EU (assuming that was even an option). We need a national purpose and targeted industries that we want to be globally competitive in, with government legislation and sustained investment over a period of decades.
Britain is so badly broken, Labour is going to find it impossible to fix in one parliamentary term. The much-vaunted NHS, which Brits profess to love, is destroyed from 14 years of underfunding because Brits wanted tax cuts more than social welfare. The NHS cannot be saved without tax payers' money but if Labour increases tax, the British people will quickly turn against them, and will vote the Tories back in, lured once again, by tax cuts.
Don't be so sure this time.
The real problem is that Gordon Brown broke the economy beyond repair. Starmer is only going to do worse but one thing may save him - Brexit. Unlike George Osborne, he won't be bound by ECB directed austerity.
No Billionaires wanted tax cut not the people.
Where’s the money ? All govt need tax money. So they will raise taxes.
The Hoyer doesn’t answer questions directly, is she a Tory?
Starmer will be remembered as the best Conservative Prime Minister the Labour Party ever had. He is an untrustworthy politician with no consistent opinion or backbone. He offers us nothing to fix our country.
That was Blair.
@@peteram9527 Blair will be Lenin compared to Syarmer
And the Tories can : ? This is what mass delusion looks like. 🇬🇧☄️
Hardly any track record to support that . If indeed That transpires to be true he will go a long way and get along fine with the likes of Farage .
Ah, you don't even know what policy he has.
MAKE GREAT BRITAIN GREATER AGAIN..🇧🇻
Brexit was a costly mistake, but it's neither the main cause of the current problems, nor the main concern going forwards.
The current crisis has it's roots in the austerity policies of Cameron and Osborne which crippled public services while failing to improve the economy, leaving the UK especially vulnerable to Covid-19 and also the inflation caused by the Ukraine War.
If Starmer can't repair the economy then public services will remain underfunded and living standards will keep falling, regardless of whether the UK is in or out of the EU.
boris and his business men friends destroyed Brit economy . they are getting rich while vulnerable Middle class who they manipulated. Ordinary ppl paying the price
Reform will win!
no! & why would we want one with full economic recovery already underway with the Conservatives???!

Re Brexit ;Ask yourself -Why?-& “cui bono?”. And why do U.K. multimillionaires go into politics or MSM? .UK is a wierd society -like a country concealed within another (the U.K.) if you inhabit the former you’re part of the “1%” -wealthy,privately educated e.g Eton then Oxford .It’s the connections you make that you’ll use throughout your life to become wealthy,and thus through UK’s arcane tax system pay less tax proportionately than those below the glass ceiling In U.K… so! EU decides it wants to harmonise certain tax legislation , money flow ,increase transparency in banking system . U.K. elite take fright ,don’t want the financially struggling general public knowing how much they conceal in tax havens .Mobilise “old boys network “ ,those who own the MSM to print anti EU stuff ….and here we are …it’s really that simple and venal Brexit was promoted as “all things to all men” and the English historical mistrust of foreigners.

Enough Brexit, we want Brenter EU!!! Blaming migration for the sins of greedy capitalism is crazy.
You may find it difficult to believe, but more than half of those who voted for Brexit and were over the age of 70 at the time of the referendum in 2016 have already passed away. In other words, they handed over a scorched earth to future generations and departed.
All of Britain's problems are caused by elderly people who have one foot in the grave but continue to harm the futures of future generations. This is a perfect example of British patriotism.
I know this is difficult for some to believe, but the average height of five-year-olds in Britain has been declining due to poor nutrition and increased poverty. That is, since the Conservative Party took power in Britain and turned the country into a burned-out wasteland.
Teachers in Britain have frequently warned that their students are hungry and unmotivated to learn, but the government has ignored their warnings.
The reason more than half of those who voted for Brexit and were over the age of 70 at the time of the referendum in 2016 is because older voters vote. The UK left the EU because of the people who didn't vote.
@@edwardbernthal160So the UK left because of the older people - who voted to leave . If they hadn't there wouldn't have been a B****t !
@@xcel5203NO.
But it would have made a difference, if the younger ones (18+ at the time of referendum), would have voted as well !!
Sorry, but that's nonsense.
Voters need to stop being lured by charisma. Policy and action, do they have a good record? Charismatic people are usually motivated by power.
Unnecessary question. The answer is: "Of course"! But first, recognize that after 14 years of Tory Party governmental malfeasance that it will take time to repair the damage. There is no instant coffee.
That will take 15 years? 😄

Why we have to discuss only economics how about education and environment 😢
Because all this depends on a strong economy.
@@nicschu456 I do understand that but the ratio of the topic on Economics is too much. Don’t forget it’s doesn’t matter how economics is . We still have to pay same amount council Tax !!! Is government reduce the tax for us once the economics running down? The council tax cover education police , environment in your area. In addition , Road tax has been pay the same too but Tories use that money to where ? Why our road quality is running down . in the mean time the public transportation was so behind from EU too. Lack of management and corruption by policy so don’t blame because the economics , Covid or war . 13 years in power Covid war or economics issue didn’t happen every year.
The English guy complaining about British problems by talking about London! lol
Moody, good work!
Hmmm... I don't think so.
In answer to your thumbnail question: No.
That British guy conveniently forgot to say that much of the money going to the NHS is simply given to private companies, focusing on profit and not service. The Tories have accelerated the sale of the NHS, when social services should have stayed nationalised. The social gap in the UK,or better said England is dismaying and many people have no opportunities. Anybody depending on a payslip to survive, home owner or not, shouldn't vote Tory. Labour basic reason of existence is fighting for the rights of the many, whilst the Tories only focus on the very rich few. Look at Sunak's personal wealth, betting against the UK and making money disappear in tax heavens during the previous crises, now using his position to further increase his and his family's wealth whilst so many working people are destitute. That's the Tory spirit.

Absolute nonsense. Fourteen years of lying from the Tories and you come out with that remark ....
Way more than 30% want to rejoin . Only 37% voted to leave in the first place
52%. Nobody gets to claim the votes of those who didn't vote.

Can I just comment on the NHS ? ‘U.K. has an increasingly ageing poulation who are polymorbidic and have poly pharmaceutical needs . … Social services and health service funding streams are differently sourced .NHS is centrally sourced -so U.K. govt gives £XBillion to 🏴NHS and what Scottish ,Welsh,and N.I health services get is a per capita ratio of the 🏴NHS budget . However Social Services are funded by local authorities …who are part funded by central govt .14 years of Successive cuts to LA funding has had consequences down the line the result being “bed blocking”, The Tories say “we’re spending more on the NHS than ever before! “…well what they DONT say is “Over 14 years We have increased the NHS Budget juuuust above the rate of inflation “. However hospital equipment has a life span of ± 10 years before it has to be replaced ,medicines and treatments cost more as well .The last real big investment in the NHS was during the last Labour govt. However…Gordon Brown Chancellor the Exchequer didn’t want the Labour govt to be accused of being spendthrift somcapital projects like schools and hospitals were Privately Financed .The finance companies were encouraged with a high capital returns on the PFI loan . Hospitals have been saddled with paying off the debt since it started . Interesting fact -average length of a PFI contract =36 years average expected useful life of a PFI built school/hospital ….36 Years!!
