Jeremy pounding the pavement with the people, this man was a threat to nobody - they lied to you
He was a threat, but certainly not to the 99%
And many of those who didn't vote for him in 2019 accepted the lies and hence another 5 years of tory rule.
@Skalekul and in doing so, rejected quite possibly the most radical political changes of our lifetime. Denying millions, the opportunities so badly needed. And keeping generations locked in poverty for the benefit of big business and the ultra rich.
He was a threat... To the 1%!
@@Skalekul many people voted conservative because there wasn't any better option. I like Starmer, but not the Labour parties stance on many issues.
Mr Corbyn deserves to be the prime minister of a prosperous and happy nation and yet here we are.
Instead we're knee-deep in raw sewage thanks to Tories.
🙂👍
Best PM we never had.
'We never had.' So a useless politician who couldn't convince the electorate and get elected.
I still find it hard to understand why the UK and Labour in particular thought this man who makes his own Jam was the most dangerous person in the country
Ah yes Jeremy who's been at IRA, isis and every other terrorist rally 🙄 he's harmless he makes jam! 🙄 😂😂
@@leewilson3839 he did condemn their actions but he was anti conflict of all kinds, he wanted to get all sides round the table and talk things out, not just bomb them into oblivion with airstrikes and cause more death and another generation of people needing to avenge their fathers.
I see him as a anti-war of all forms from all sides, not a radical terrorist sympathizer
@@leewilson3839 yeah I mean look at the good Friday agreement and how long we've had peace in northern Ireland. I guess sitting down and talking to terrorists never works, right?

I work retail and I’m on £11.44 an hour. That means junior doctors are paid only £4 more than me. £4! That is actually disgusting. These young people are out here saving lives and keeping the population healthy, they deserve more than just above the minimum wage.
What a lovely and intelligent human being Jeremy is 😊
Brilliantly said. A politician genuinely living in reality, unusual
Always on the right side!!!
Jeremy will always fight for us.
What isn't mention about junior doctors is that, not only are they grievously underpaid, but the student debts they have accumulation over five or six years of study means they have student debts of at least £50,000 and more, and they have to pay high interest rates for the privilege of paying back that debt. They are screwed financially every which way by government....
The other consideration people forget is they study for 5-6 years. That’s 5-6 years without pay whilst their peers who go straight into work accumulate 120k in that time (assuming they are paid minimum wage).
Their pay needs to reflect that so they can catch up! The property market, fertility etc isn’t going to grant them an extra 5-6 years to catch up.
Juniors in any field start on low pay because experience earns you a higher salary. It's not any different for people that go into other professions, only people think doctors and nurses are special.
@@Mjbeswick ‘junior’ doctors have 5-6 years of education, plus 0-10 years of working as a qualified doctor (depending on their route this could be much higher, I’ve known junior doctors who have been doctors for decades)
Jeremy Hunt didn't award drs pay rises for the 6yrs health secretary to decimated .he wants NHS in the American deal. To get into private practice
@@Bringon-dw8dx in that case the problem isn't simply the pay, but experience and expertise not being recognized in the form of position and pay.
Bless you Jeremy always on the right side
The elephant in the room - global wealth inequality stronger than the UK govt 😢
Every time starmer sees him on the benches, he'll feel like he's sat on a drawing pin. Can't wait
That’s if Starmer doesn’t lose his own seat 😂

Well said Jerermy, what about the UK Pensioners who have worked and contributed for a lifetime only to have their pensions frozen at the time of retirement until death?
I've always been a big fan of this man. He's honest and caring. The media did him a great disservice when they assassinated his character.
He's worked for his constituents, the working class people, for people who had no voice for the last 40+ years. He could have been a transformational PM. What did the right-wing media do? Drag his name through the mud every single day for 4 years until they forced him out.
He is an anti-semite and a lickspittle of the IRA. He is a traitor to the UK. A traitor should not be Prime Minister.
Yes and the snakes in his own party inc Starmer unfortunately
@@JupiterThunderYou're a little know-nothing fashy fanboy, ain't ya?

I was thinking exactly that when I saw this. We have one in Australian Labor too, Bill Shorten, chances killed by a toxic media campaign by Murdoch media and it's ilk.

just pay the people who work in this country! Support the doctors the nurses the railway workers the teachers the fire service! pay people what they need to live. and pay for the nhs to function!
Drs that have studied medicine for 5 years are getting £15 per hour!
INIQUITOUS!
Wonder how many MPs would work for that!
Junior doctors don't get paid much as they don't have any experience.
MPs are not fresh or of university and don't actually get paid that much; about 90K. After a few years, doctors get about the same.
@@Mjbeswick junior doctors aren’t junior .. misleading description
@@Mjbeswick Junior doctors can have 10 years of experience before they become a consultant.
@@callyyeadon2653 junior doctors are junior, as that is the position they are contracted to do. The problem is as much the employment structure in the NHS as it is pay.
Indeed! 💯
Doctors at £15 p/h? I'm a warehouse operative for a supermarket and I'm on £15.47!
I remember back in the mid-late 90's earning £15ph as a temp legal sec.
I was on £14 as a doctor not too long ago, it’s only risen to £15 since striking!
@@Bringon-dw8dx that really is so fucking shit
@@ChickpeatheTortie which, accounting for inflation since just 1999, would be £28/h today
Same, and I'm still barely getting by. Each time bills go up, I have to cut another meal. How the hell are medical staff supposed to manage working longer hours, doing night shifts etc?
JC is one of the few politicians i admire and trust. Honest with integrity and doesn't play the game to just get ahead. He truly cares about people
It is a moral obligation, if you work 8 hours, make sure you can afford to have a roof over your head and a decent life. In the conditions in which the corporations, for which you work, make billions in profit, regardless of the field... the food industry, electricity, water, gas, 🧐
Amazon paying no taxes despite making record profits is perfectly fine, but when it comes to paying essential workers properly, suddenly there isn’t any money (but there is when we need to send some foreigners to Rwanda)
I always knew he is a good person. Never doubted Jeremy Corbyn.
My GP who was fantastic. Left doctoring completely as she became so disillusioned and unable to do her job. This was due to cut backs and policies.
So gutted Labour didn’t support Jeremy to get Starmer in. Starmer terrifies me. We will never see another decent politician like this.
Good on you, Jez!! ❤🙂👍 Hope you win! 🤞
Love you, Jeremy 😍
as a store worker this is reason i never went to uni etc why should i go get a degree and shove myself into debt so hard to climb out for 3 pounds more then the average store worker lol. its madness add insult to injury for doctors bin lorry drivers are 14.16 a hour lol.
💯
#JC is my favorite politician, a consistent honest politician!
This is causing early deaths and suffering it's not right all round
Junior doctors in France are on about 15€ p/h. I was recently quoted 37€ for a light trim (hair/beard). 10 minutes work!
...and you actually paid that??
@@arcan762 No. I asked if they serious. Managed to get down for 28€. But I was used to paying 16€. I’d always thrown in 2€ for a tip. But my barber had to sell his shop due to family problems.
@@RalphBrooker-gn9ivit's £12 here in Newcastle England I can't afford even that and iam working so I bought some hair clippers for £20 I have had them 2 yrs now 😂
Same in Australia. I have given up on the public system and their multi-year waiting lists. I go private now. Makes me sad that I have to do that in order to get help
“What if Corbyn was in charge….” Things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now that’s what would have happened.

UK Government to NHS - words speak more than actions
UK Government to foreign rulers - actions speak more than words
Do the maths people. You can't have an adequate NHS, let alone a good one, without tax money. For 14 years the British people voted again and again for Tory tax cuts knowing full well the NHS would be impacted. Come the Labour government, if they put up taxes to try and resuscitate the NHS, you people will vote them out. You get the government you deserve, you get the NHS you deserve.
In 2010 NHS spending was 9.9% of GDP, in 2022 it was 11.3% . Going up not down.
I would be happy to pay more tax towards the NHS if there is a guarantee that the money will be spent to provide life saving treatments. The NHS is strapped for cash right now and still manages to wastes resources providing alternative medicine and things like gender affirming surgery; while other people are on waiting lists dying.
@@Mjbeswick for every £1 in the NHS there's a boost of £4. It's a no brainer to pour more money into the NHS. However half of that is getting siphoned off into private hands, due to the ever increasing privatisation of the service and you cannot ignore it. It makes no sense. Already over 557 have died (counted) because of privatisation. Which could have been avoided. Likely more however the report only said 557 due to privatisation which could have been avoided if privatisation didn't occur.
@@alice1374 💯
It's not just about putting money into the NHS. The whole healthcare system is broken, too much paperwork not enough actual face to face treatment.
why are people surprised? capitalism is designed to work this way. If you're a worker and support capitalism please get your brain checked - privately :-)
God bless you Mr Corbyn, protect you and grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans ✝️
❤️💯👍
Your "god" isn't gonna do anything, it's up to us. Frankly, I find that much more heartening.
@@django3422 Like, I suppose, there is no "justice", "just us". Thing is. We need more of us!
What about the band 2s on min wage
£15 luxury.
There are multiple people in the comments saying they earn £15 in retail/supermarket work/driving based jobs. Really not luxury.
Luxury? When rent is £950 per month, utilities can be as high as £600 per quarter, council tax is another £140 a month, then there's food and essentials on top...
No, £15 isn't luxury, it's barely scraping by.
Really at your age mister😂

Hello from Canada.
15 Pounds an hour?
How anyone takes this guy seriously is beyond me.
First year doctors’ hourly pay is £15.53/h
The NHS are even in more crisis when doctors go on strike.
Seems like paying us properly to avoid that would be the best course of action then. The government refused to even meet with our union until we had a strike mandate.
@roryokane5907 patients lives are at risk when doctors strike. Not acceptable.
@@pjmlfc05 They wouldn't have to strike if they weren't forced to.
@@alice1374 the patients still suffer.
When i realised the job that i went to college for 3 and a half years to get my qualifications to be able to do was not going to pay me enough money i looked for a better paying job. Simple as that.....
It was my choice to decide to get those qualifications for a job that didn't pay enough money once qualified but i didnt go on strike constantly. Just accepted that this job was not worth it and moved on.
Always seen countless people walking around hospitals doing very little from many of my experiences. Just get another job doing something else rather than complaining about the pay (which you already knew the salary before getting yourself into that amount of debt) NHS is struggling for funding for many years, service isnt going to get any better for patients when the funds just go to boost wages of staff that just abandon their position when they arent happy. Doctors and nurses have seen plenty more pay rises than i ever have in the past 25 years. Some of them should be ashamed behaving like this.
The issue here is that there isn’t a “better paying job”.
There’s either leaving the NHS to do something that isn’t medicine, or leaving the country and going and being a doctor in Oz, where you can earn two-to-three times the salary for 20% fewer hours.
Simply put: doctors pay has fallen further than that of the rest of the working population (which has, on average, stagnated or at most fallen in real terms by 4% max). In real terms our pay has fallen by 26% since 2008. No one else’s pay has fallen further - except hospital consultants, of course.
If you think our job is so easy and so well paid, feel free to do graduate entry medicine. Otherwise, just be grateful that all we’re demanding is that our pay goes back to 2008 levels.
Also: we didn’t *know*.
First of all: if you’re at uni for six years, the pay can have meaningfully have been cut in real terms DURING your course.
Second: when I signed up to medical school in 2008, there was a final salary pension. That got taken away in 2015.
Your argument seems to rest on the notion that paying doctors a reasonable salary is a bad idea (reasonable by the standards of the profession and the other far more lucrative professions they could have chosen - which has always been the social contract under which medicine has worked since the founding of the NHS, now sadly broken by 15 years of austerity), and then your solution is “if you don’t like it, leave”. Which people ARE doing, which compounds our issue of staff retention. More gaps = more work for those of us left = more people going “sod it, this isn’t worth it any more” and leaving = more gaps = more burnout…
The only way to stop that vicious cycle in the long term is train more doctors (but it takes ten years to train a GP and fifteen to train most hospital consultants), so in the interim, we need to fix the pay of the doctors we do have to help stem the bleeding.
As to your complaint about a lack of pay rises: in your own words “get a better job”. Consider medicine, if you think our pay rises are adequate, and of course, if you can meet the requisite academic standards.
@@roryokane5907Incredibly well articulated, I couldn’t have put it better myself!
Just because you're not very bright, don't know what the work entails and don't know how to count, it doesn't mean there are "countless people walking around hospitals doing very little".
@@django3422 grow up child, stop expecting to get everything you want in life
@@bendrummond3063 Ironically, that's a very childish response from you.
Perhaps we can bring in some more foreign doctors to replace these striking junior doctors?
So that's why he couldn't get in power I guess? Why the hell do they all fall for the same blindspot in this system? Is it a general health issue perhaps? He seems such a bright man but still he can't see that feeding money to a system with rotten basics doesn't work, It's sad.
Do you think the Starmer party will repeal the Health and Social Care Act (2012)?
Answer:- No, they want to privatise the NHS!
Notice that in this whole 6 minutes video Jeremy did not ONCE apologise for antisemitism. Typical. /s
The media lied about it. You believe that?
Such a shame he is a terrible leader.
At least he stuck to his guns and acted like someone who understands democracy. As soon as Starmer got in he got rid of anyone with a remotely controversial view and has since u-turned on nearly every decision he's made (aside from excommunicating the most passionate members of his party, thereby further dividing Labour's demographic)
@@ericlayton8888 Starmer is looking at election victory on the first attempt. Corbyn failed twice. You are just parroting the usual boring rhetoric.
@@joetrent4753 No he's right, Corbyn obviously wasn't helped by the insidious parts of the GLU / PLP working against the member wishes and elected leader. Starmer has seemingly purged anyone to the left of Milton Friedman, which is why they're now so devoid of original ideas, they aren't even promising to reverse all of the Tory cuts from the past 14 years. That's what happens when you stick to Tory fiscal rules which even the IFS have said will leave £18 billion worth of cuts with both of the two largest parties planned manifesto's. At least the two previous manifestos were costed and supported by world leading economists.
@@joetrent4753Starmer got lucky and help bring Corbyn down. Look at his Brexit policy.
@@joetrent4753 Starmer's got insanely lucky by Tories downfall. Corbyn would be winning if Corbyn was Labour Leader still. It's just because the Tories have failed! NOBODY WANTS A STARMER PARTY.
And all of these junior doctors will retire early and wealthy. We are all struggling with the cost of living at present but few of us have the promise of a lucrative career.
Jeremy says they deserve more money. Don't we all. But where is it coming from?
Junior doctors will not be ‘retiring early and wealthy’, I’m not sure where you’ve got this idea from. Their pensions are linked to state pension age.
It doesn’t matter what you are going to pay someone in 20 years. They need the most money at the start of life, especially at the moment. Have you seen the cost of overnight childcare/childcare for 13 hour shifts (plus commute) or the cost of having to keep up routing their life with no choice in the matter! Plus the cost of simply being a doctor (GMC fees, insurance, royal college fees, exams, courses etc)
@@Bringon-dw8dx you know that they can't have it all ways don't you? One of the big reasons they enter the profession is the ability to earn a lot of money. Everyone struggles at the start, it's just like the rest of us. Don't have kids until you can afford them Stop sucking up to an already privileged group of people who spend their lives bring greatly respected and spoiled.
@@bigblueocean you don’t ‘earn a lot of money’ working for the NHS, at any stage.
Junior doctors are not all ‘at the start’. Some are 15 years into their careers!
‘Don’t have kids until you can afford them’. Junior doctors pay DOES NOT cover the amount childcare costs for the type of hours doctors are expected to work. Therefore you are asking women to put off having children until it’s possibly too late to have them, which alongside the fact doctors have higher rates of infertility and miscarriage/early labour etc then the general populations is a completely unfair ask for people that should be quite comfortable giving their level of responsibility.
@@Bringon-dw8dx dearie me. The drama of it. Stop suggesting special working conditions for this group of people. What you describe is modern life. It's the same for everyone. It's true that times are hard. The rest of us have to suck it up. Why should they be babied? I guess they are free to find a different job. But they don't do they? I wonder why? Yes doctor, no doctor, three bags full doctor.
@@bigblueocean
I’m not asking ‘special working conditions’, infact I would LOVE it if doctors worked the hours the average worker in the uk did.
No more nights, minimal weekends, 9 hour shifts rather than 13. Full time work for a junior doctor is 40-48 hours (as per ONS the uk average for full time workers is 36.6). The NHS would crumble.
‘It’s the same for everyone’… I don’t know many jobs that require you to find childcare for 15+ hours, and regular night shifts?
Some do find a different job, I personally don’t because I want to help people although am looking to see how to make that work abroad.
Corbyn's finished. He will lose to Labour and then he'll have to start working for a living, having been a parasite on the taxpayer for the last 40 years. Let's hope he has some transferrable skills and that he's worked on his interview technique.
Nah. He's got a fat pension fund. It's, a matter of public record.
@@bigblueocean Thank you so much for telling us! 🙄
You are wrong, and he will win ! (Why would anyone vote for this Pratfull Nargund, too cowardly to debate? 😏)
Anyway. If Corbyn wanted to, he is of the age to retire.
Corbyn needs to be Ashamed of himself He caused such pain and suffering to the Jewish community until Starmer came along and shut him up and kicked him out I think Starmer is a good bet
Except he didn't, did he, unless you're intentionally conflating Zionism with Judaism? Which is, you know, anti-Semitic. Starmer has expelled more Jewish members from the party than Corbyn ever did. One thing we know about Starmer being in charge is the genocide in Gaza which he supports, will continue, what else would you expect from a Zionist without qualification though?
Mm never mind the pain and suffering and death Starmer endorses to all of Gaza then, eh
