It's interesting tactics employed regarding Mandelson. Labour keeps reminding Hartlepool that Mandelson was the former MP and the Tories keep reminding Hartlepool that Mandelson was their MP.
I’m from the north and I was in the Labour Party and we had a by election and I was at the meeting where they parachuted in some posh bloke from down south who didn’t win, and I remember thinking that this policy of parachuting posh people who don’t have the same values as the people they are trying to represent was a big mistake for Labour to make
No mention of Peter Mandelson, the last New Labour Mandarin to lord it over Hartlepool and a current adviser to Starmer. No mention of the fact that Mandelson's involvements with the Eurocracy after the Hinduja Passport Affair and related scandals pushed the constituency further and further towards Brexit.
This by-election has been long over before its even begun, Oli perfectly summed up how this a fight Labour can only loose. Even if they win boy it'll look awkward on both Labour and Hartlepool.
Go Thelma...shes correct in saying that she’s the only Socialist candidate. I disagree with the idea that young people have somehow suffered more in the pandemic....and sacrificed their freedom...for goodness sake. My parents generation went through a world war. That was pressure and they suffered greatly. My grandparents went through WW1. Without those generations young people wouldn’t even be here.
Why on earth did Labour put a committed remainer into an area that voted to leave? It’s almost as though they ignored what happened in the 2019 election where tradional Labour seats in many leave areas turned conservative
It's not Starmer,or just Starmer. Trying to convince people that Labour doesn't despise working class areas, isn't full of arrogant snobs, who only ever ask for votes, lecture, preach and condemn but refuse to listen or engage, that's a big ask. Labour is probably done for.
This was good but you interviewed the wrong person. Sam Lee was the independent who stood out and didn't lose her deposit, but I can't find an interview with her anywhere.
Great move Labour: Fly in a remainer to a leave-heavy constituency?! That's muppetry on a par with everything else you've done since 'Sir Kier' took the reins though isn't it? Labour would've been MUCH better off with a new Kier Hardie instead of Sir Starmer. But regardless, best wishes for tomorrow from me, one of the MANY former 'Labour Lifers' whose vote will be going elsewhere tomorrow...
Love that you quoted Rory Stewart. He says that every single time. On another note, I really liked your video. We don't agree politically but you really looked at everything critically and in a diplomatic and intelligent way, rather the usual screaming and whining rhetoric that many stick to without making an actual point of case.
I’m the only socialist candidate running Thelma said - 250 votes obtained. There we have the reason why socialist MPs have to stay in the Labour Party, they know full well they have to stay in the party to have any chance of getting elected. I wish socialists on social media who have left Labour would stop slagging off those who have stayed in the party. Without those socialist MPs, the whole idea of socialism would go down the pan, as socialists are completely reliant on the Labour Party to get elected representatives. If socialists want to get elected without the Labour Party, they need a different voting system, which only Labour has any chance of delivering... either way they absolutely need to stay on side with Labour, so all this posturing has made little sense to me from an electoral perspective.
You came to Teesside and you didn't try a parmo! I'm shocked. Btw I was rooting for Thelma and was surprised about the low turnout for her considering the now alienated Labour vote.
Yet we have a right wing government with the power to give multi billion £ contracts to their mates, get away with it and demand the public get a decline in wages and conditions.
So? Sounds good,we need to invest in infrastructure and have an industrial policy to support a thriving dynamic hi tech private sector which includes more than just call centres and financial services.we need to boost productivity and create high wage jobs and reverse de-industrialisation.
This video is really well done A battered chip butty with gravy in it sounds great, but I wouldn’t want the beans and peas. Who doesn’t know what a spam fritter is though? They’re hanging, anyone knows not to eat spam My heart is with Thelma but my head says vote Labour or get Tory
Dear Joe, this is slightly off topic, but, I wonder if you can advise me on how to make a chip butty? I am a Southerner. A Londoner. Thank you Comrade.
I hate what politics has become, though I guess it has probably never been different. Parties shouldn't have souls, they should have platforms based on issue, and votes should be based on that, not how 'in touch with the voters' a party might be.
I genuinely like these videos because (although there’s banter) you genuinely can’t see a bias in their reporting. This is coming from a right winger. Very interesting reports, keep it up guys.
So frustrating with Starmer. The CV, the lid, the background all with huge potential. Just needs to actually let himself be a bit more open with folk. I understand that you following him around with a mic is annoying but he could have had a chat over dinner right?
Damn. So bitter. No wonder he won't give you an interview. Starmer is under no obligation to answer your questions, so why are you so hurt that he didnt?
Wow how amazingly unpartisan your opening question was to Starmer..... or was that an attempt to let him know that you were a “friendly” so that he’d talk to you. Either way it torpedoed your credibility. Never heard of this channel but was wondering how long it would take for you to reveal your allegiances. What the hell has happened to neutral journalism.
@@mannyd-y5246 When asking members of the public, he could've posed similar questions about the Conservative candidate. He also gave Walker a free ride. He also had a pretty clear pre-planned narrative from the start.
Nope, that was Sir Keith and the rest of the Blairites that led the chicken coup. It was the 2nd referendum policy that tanked Labour in 2019. It was Keith Starmer who led the charge to get the 2nd referendum policy onto the manifesto. That's why 52 leave seats voted for the tories. You want to blame Starmer and his Blairite chums for getting the tories back into power.
@@RichO1701e You don’t know what a Blairite is. Starmer was a human right barrister when Blair was in Downing Street. Hate to break it to you but more people voted for 2nd referendum party’s in 2019 then they did for the Conservatives & Brexit party. How’s that Brexit thing working out for people? Oh yes complete s&£t show and getting worse by the week, just wait until Covid furlough ends.
@@nicksimmons7234 you're correct but our FPTP voting system means it doesn't matter that 52% voted for second ref parties - it is the leave Northern seats (and Scotland if Labour could flip snp) that matter. This is what needs to change. I am a strong remainer but I absolutely think it would have been a whole different story had labour backed leave in the 2019 GE (although not with out remain vote losses to third parties)
@@tyler6539 No way Labour can get Scotland back for at least 3 or 4 GE cycles that’s if Scotland is still in the U.K. If Labour had backed leaving the EU without a second referendum, Labour would have lost at least another 100 seats. Brexit supporters wouldn’t have trusted them, Remainers would have switched to Lib Dem’s and not even given it a second thought. Safe ish Labour seats like mine in London would have flipped to Lib Dem’s by 10,000 votes easy.
@@nicksimmons7234 I don't think that the country will ever see the Lib Dems as a viable alternative to government though. Although you're right, I remember polls being tighter than I would have thought in my Southwark seat but I think Labour won comfortably in the end
This place was known for Canoe Man in 2007 never before has there been such high levels of publicity for a place outside Leeds and Manchester in Northern Britain.

Labour's policies can be summed up - 'give ever more power to the state and its bureaucrats and workers'. According to lost Labour - these people know better than you and they are the only answer Labour has to any problem.

Remember John Darwin? Life insurance scam on a canoe.
Highest Leave vote in the country was Boston, Lincolnshire. 75.6%
Also, Oli is extremely upset because UniLad exclusively interviewed Starmer. Clearly he's got an axe to bury

If I was there I'd vote for Thelma as she's talking about ordinary working people. Good luck to her.
But you're not there buddy.
I like the woman who says that she voted Brexit Party but is now coming back to Labour. It gives me hope.
Is that woke?
In the minority.
God help you then !!!

Classic middle class student journalism from Joe, never expected any less. Stay in London next time.

Did the bill relate to the case? He said no, and I’ll take his word on that if he’s got to vote on it.
