Why are the Tories so worried?

- You'd think that a government with a big majority and high on the polls would have little to worry about, and yet the Tories are showing signs of being very worried. How long is it before failings on Brexit and Covid 19 catch up with them, corruption is rumbled and Scotland declares it has had enough, leaving them as the party that killed the country? Their behavior suggests that they think the answer is 'not long.'

Watching this in May 2024 it's clear how prophetic your words were
I think you're absolutely bang on Richard! I hope enough people wake up to it soon, otherwise we'll end up with a genuine fascist state.
people are..... but slowly .... I hope it isn't too slow !!!
I don't people have woken up yet, not in my town. Give it time I suppose
@@taniatinn9072 you must tell them .... that's proably why they shut pubs to stop people talking about it .... go and spread the word ....
I certainly hope the tories luck will run out very soon, they are destroying this country and many peoples lives. And they've made a complete pigs ear out of handling this covid crisis here in the UK. Beginning of 2020 our tory government decided to do nothing and came up with this crazy herd immunity idea etc etc etc
@@fredatlas4396 agreed, they're still up in the polls. People can see the way they have tortured the vunerable but still love bozo. Human nature truly stinks sometimes. I hope tory policies hit them.
Never EVER trust a tory !!
It is unlikely we get rid of the Tories without first getting rid of FPTP.
Because the progressives insist on splitting their vote across three parties, thus winning 57% of the vote and losing by 80 seats. The idiots needed to form a coalition to act against Brexit but they just couldn't bring themselves to make the sacrifice of their collective egos for the benefit of the country. Even the hopeless Corbyn plan for Brexit was better than letting the idiot Faragisti take power and ruin the country.
You are right to use the word fascist - I only wish others would be as clear less reticent.
We already have the tories wrapping themselves in the Union Jack. Now councils have been ordered to fly it. How long before the public will have to fly it or risk being called a traitor.
Echos of the inter war era in Germany and Italy. Facist is the word.
This is fantastic analysis - and he’s not bitter! ( Because he’s called Murphy! ).
There is an underlying assumption here that these Tories will respect democratic processes.
The smearing of political opponents & Cambridge Analytica episode suggest otherwise.
everything you say is spot on .... but people keep voting for them ?????????
So interested in your comment on neoliberalism. Time was always going to run out on the neat trick of getting the poor to vote for the rich to have more. An illusion can only last so long. Great video.
My God exactly my opinion Bravo.
How much longer are people going to put up with this??????
I would add another plank and that is the endless lying in Parliament. There also seems to be a 'law' that no minister will be forced to resign, no matter what they have been found out doing. This is a new - dare I use the word 'paradigm' where the misdemeanors come thick and fast and as soon as you grapple with the last one another comes along to distract. As for the hope that this will bring them down, I'm not so sure.
how much longer can the lying in parliament not be called out ??? does the speaker have any power ? can someone advise me please?
@@barrytcook1 I don't think speaker dies, have any real power, and thanks to the people who voted for the tories, no one can hold them to account now, Kier Starmer appears to be doing quite a, good job of calling them out, but can't really do anything as they have such a large majority thanks to our first past the post voting system which isn't fit for purpose or democratic
@@fredatlas4396 I agree ..we have to go for some kind of PR ...... the speaker did say at the last PMQ's johnson should answer the question but he still didn't bother ....
Subscribed, sounds about right.
Best wishes and greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪🇬🇧
Excellent insight
A well thought through analysis of where the Conservatives currently stand. The arguments put forward were logical and well presented. Keep up the good work.
Just discovered your channel. Superb analysis.
Should be shared widely!! 👍👍
Thanks Richard great observation as always #voteyes
nailed it again richard
Wise words.
We've come to the stage that many English people are looking enviously at the Celtic parts of the UK as they have a chance of escaping the UK. Hoping the UK will come to an end would once have been an extremist position.
Now it seems the best thing that could happen. I just hope that war can be averted in NI, and we will have a Czeckoslovakian not a Yugoslavian one!
Marianne
You put it well .
Excellent analysis but also extremely worrying!
Independence poll (29/07/22) 58% of Scottish voters want Independence. It's not if Scotland leaves the UK it's when, and the Torys cant stop it and they know it.
Excellent insight. Brilliant research too.
Keep up the great work Richard and take care.
Excellent analysis 🧐. Subbed.
Technically the Torys are doing better in Scotland now than they have done for the past 40 years. They get a 1/4 of the vote share.
"They think it's all over" (secretly) - well it is now!! 😁
Or will be quite soon, hopefully, once the Labour party kicks out Starker and provides a viable alternative. 😏
Winning Hartlepool isn't going to save the robbers' party... 😏👎
Great analysis, Richard. I shall be sharing and recommending it!!
I honestly don't know why you don't have *way* more subscribers, Richard - this is genius!!!😀👍👍👍
Share widely, people: including to all your (ex) Labour mates! This is one economist/analyst they really need to subscribe to!
👍👍👍👍
Wonderful analysis!
Excellent, forensic analysis.
Lose Scotland and we’re bound to have tories in again in24.
Labour only have 1 MP in Scotland so going Independent would have no real effect on a rest of UK vote, on the other hand the Tories would lose 6 seats.
Very true a good and interesting.
Very interesting. Subscribed and liked!
Interesting take on things.. If we had a credible opposition I might be enclined to agree with you. Sadly labour seems to busy fighting itself. Keir Starter seems to have lost the left of his party which I believed to be around a fith of the labour vote back in 2019. And if you follow Novara media the media wing of momentum which makes up for a large share of labour membership Keir Starmer is not popular. So while I would agree with the The Tories have made a number of mistakes and will have to tackle the economic impacts of Brexit personally I not convinced labour are actually in a position to take advantage.
It is important to emphasise the lack of opposition is a major contributor to the Tories contemptible behaviour!
@@stephenhardman4321 Agreed
I don't know if you guys lived thru the last tory government in the 1980's under thatcher and John major, and if you remember John major putting interest rates up to 15%or more, and leaving them up until businesses closed down and people lost their jobs, homes and in many cases lost everything they worked hard for. Have you forgotten the high unemployment throughout 1980's and it was intentional apparently in order to keep inflation down at 2%, but it was sustainable and was a vicious spiral diwnwards, higher and higher unemployment just to keep inflation down. To many people appear to have very short memories, and now this tory government since 2010 has been slowly destroying this country. They said you can't trust Labour with the economy, and you can trust us with the economy and we will pay off the national debt and cut immigration. Now over 10 yrs later, even before this corona virus pandemic arrived economy in a mess, immigration higher than ever before and the national debt higher than it was in 2010. I really don't understand why people can't see what the tories are really about and what they are doing to this country. This austerity policy since 2010 is actually tory ideology it's what they always do whatever is going on with the economy etc and it's not sustainable it doesn't just damage public services but also damages the economy
@@fredatlas4396 I agree with everything you just put. I am simply saying labour are a sh@t show atm and could not win an egg and spoon race nevermind an election. For a democracy to function in a first passed the post system it requires a strong opposition. We simply not had one in my opinion in over 10years.
I voted Labour or nothing since 1982. I'm disgusted and disillusioned by Labour now, having left the party recently. NIP for me as soon as we get a candidate in my area
Very interesting Richard.
SNP 1
SGP 2
Depressing isn't it! And what's wrong with being Woke? Caring about other people's feelings
Right on. You didn't mention the Tory disease 'AUSTERITY' and the damage that has done. Your in depth analysis of this topic might be very enlightening as I would say the effect of this is as far reaching as any other policy. Thanks.
I would add that research the tories have had done tells them that they have an aging/dying voter base that is not being replaced at the rate it used to be. Under 40s and the growing BAME population overwhelmingly vote Labour and in about ten years will be the dominant voting demographics. The Tories have their work cut out for sure!
Nothing more dangerous than a cornered (right wing) animal
Labour may not be going to town on Tory corruption, but it was all Starmer asked about at PMQs last week, and all Johnson could say was: "Well, I think you'll find I cut crime when I was London Mayor, *actually*!"
Richard, great content but sound level is too low and I have to stop doing everything in order to hear you
try putting on subs
Yup. I can't hear on ordinary laptop speakers either.
I disagree, with the press so skewed towards the Tories, they will be fine, Scotland & Wales becoming independent and united Ireland will only strengthen the Tories in England, I wish the opposite was true, but England hasn't voted labout since 1997.
Tories haven't looked worried for 50 years. The SNP have little interest in independence, they've had multiple mandates for indyref 2 but are quite happy lording it over Scotland and collecting fat salaries while staging theatrical politics from/with WM. Even if they do have one it is unlikely to win given about a third of pro-independence voters also voted to leave the EU and the SNP have ruled out seeking any mandate before sending us back into the bosses club.
Excellent and unbiased as usual Richard.
Nice to watch a video with some hope, i think its been a battle for labour since the banking crisis and the public don't seem to have the ability to know when they are being lied to unless its a massive scandal they can't ignore.
You are absolutely right Richard on everything except may be: are they so much worried? Labour could be more aggressive but is instead silent or discreet on many key issues (Brexit, corruption,..). Similarly Farage is very quiet. Where is the opposition? Is it united?
Please help by posting videos with audible and consistent sound level.
the real ones or the far right fith columb in its midst
Enjoyed that Mr Murphy, thank you. BTW is it true you that you and erstwhile tax inspector (actor) Philip Franks out of the Darling Buds of May have never been seen in the same room together!!?
Good analysis imo
Is Labour avoiding attacking the Tories until after the Scottish Elections on 6th May ?
No, however they have taken a step back from the one policy - anti independence - anti SNP stance.
Having been their only perceivable policy on any flyer, ad or other for the past 2 Holyrood elections I can personally recall, and having haemorrhaged support and votes, that Sarwar might have seen a correlation.
However he's extremely two faced. So how long this lasts? Anyone's guess.
As a side note, Labour seldom/never attack the Tories here.
I like Richard but...if the Tories win Hartlepool..
speak up, man!
The substance of what you are saying is great and deserves a wider audience. Please get some advice on video presentation though: sound is echoey and faint and visuals could do with improvement (reflection in glasses and dare I say it, dress sense). Intro music is a bit naff too.
Just close your eyes and listen to his voice
I watch you because I value your technical pieces on money creation. There is a massive need for clear, simple explanations on this subject which the man on the Clapham omnibus can understand. But this sort of political opinionating is a complete turnoff.
Interesting insight. My only disagreement is coronavirus. Let's see where we are by December 2021 in comparison to other countries handling. Better data comparison.
we've already got 126,000 dead !!!!!! wake up ,,,,
I think now we have over 130000 covid deaths and it's possible now johnson has just opened things up and kids and parents coming together, pubs, restaurants etc opening up. We may well have another spike. You can't possibly defend this governments handling of this crisis or their running of the country since 2010. January 2020 on the BBC an expert was saying this covid virus is not like the flu it's possibly 10 times as bad and very contagious. Our tory government decided to do nothing & came up with the crazy herd immunity idea. Taiwan Jan 2020 shut their borders and mobilised their resources, test, track, trace and isolate, whfn corona virus killing loads of people here and spreading, Taiwan no covid cases and months later still way, way better than us, New Zealand similar much better than the UK. Since 2010 our economy hasnt gone anywhere, homelessness increasing much more than before, poverty increasing, food banks which we didn't have under last Labour government, millions struggling to survive, zero hour contracts, gig economy. And our public services including NHS being destroyed due to tories austerity policy since 2010, funding cuts for all public services including NHS. A few yrs ago the United Nations condemned the UK for high levels of poverty amongst other things and they said it was caused by the tories austerity policy since 2010, and it wasn't necessary but was purely a political decision. They also said it started under the last tory government in the 1980's.. It's the tories ideology, and at the exact time as cutting funding for all public services they've been giving tax cuts to big corporate businesses and the wealthy and higher payed. None of this benefits the majority of people in the UK and it also damages the economy, it's not sustainable. I could go on but I think that's bad enough, and a very good reason to not vote tory
@@fredatlas4396 couldn't agree more ....
To take such a partisan 'analysis' seriously you really must have a closed mind
This man is completely delusional.
“Evidence of their behaviour”continues to produce speculation and projection.🙄.Just because you’re wearing a nice shirt and jumper hasn’t made you a critical thinker has it pal.
What?
1 Don’t only hope on government’s responds on security matter’s and Economy growth’
2: As an individual you should be safeguarded and also look for different self businesses and trade not only waiting on
betterment of stock market activities
No 3: Most important always save the little you can and think of what to do with it when it become Good for capital,
I have always believe in stock market and other Economics activities but is really unfair that 2020 trading and stock market is just difficult and unbelievable which is too bad now I rather invest my money on only Bitcoin and gain more profit in return
2020 was all about survival with many achievements not met but you have to be ready for the future and it begins right now buy making a move to achieve your goals ... if you have been saving and it’s not really getting you to were you want to be, then invest that money today for a better life tomorrow
I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple stream of income unfortunately having a job doesn’t mean security rather having different investments is the real deal ... so I really appreciate your transparency
I was introduced to my personal trader, Mrs. Stella Elliston sometime during the lockdown, she has helped me gain a lot from forex and crypto trading.
Wow!!! great to see my trader well represented here, I make huge profit on my investments since I started trading with Stella Elliston too, her strategies are top-notch.
I was able to send my kids to a private school with the extra money I have been earning with Stella
This is hilarious! CZcams recommendations make me laugh so much!
Ok, so how did the left's opposition to and castigation of Brexiteers work in the Hartlepool by-election? How many 'thick racists' did Keir bring into the Labour party? The twisting of the appeasement to EU demands on fishing and NI is of course classic Europhilia. If Boris wasn't a globalist we would have full control of UK territorial waters.
That other great left wing exercise in gaslighting, pretend the pandemic only exists in the UK and isn't occurring anywhere else in the world. Not many people fall for that now. Also the vaccine scepticism on the rise within the left, '3rd waves' is an anti science position.
Finally, the biggest gaslight of them all, apparently the left waving trans flags, putting pronouns in their social media bios and fighting for children to permanently change their bodies isn't extremist, divisive and done for a reaction but 'deeply held positions that cannot be challenged'. Wonderful. The left should really voice their support for race and sex quotas, because nothing says 'equality' quite like policies endorsing active discrimination.
I look forward to more 23 percentage point victories for the party in trouble!
This is really such a silly presentation
Good for you, Terry. I was scrolling down the comments hoping to find one that wasn't drivelling idiocy and it took me quite a while.
Every word here that Murphy says is true and you can't disprove it!
@@alanmarr3323 then you are as silly as he
@@alanmarr3323 Let's examine that. "Why are the Tories so worried?" is one thing Murphy asks. This presupposes that the Tories are worried. You are challenging me to prove that the Tories are not, in fact, worried. What possible evidence could I adduce which would show that a political party (or let's say, the Government) is not worried? Absolutely none. I'm afraid your assertion is vacuous and inane.
What a pessimistic skewed view of the Tories get over yourself!
I think your talking "negative" rubbish Richard.
Don't you like the truth or as a Tory you are probaly averse to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@alanmarr3323 I dont polictally pigeon hole myself unlike some. This guy like you are talking rubbish.
This guy pretends he’s impartial but he’s employed by the snp, he makes out he’s some sort of expert but you can see through his arguments. Troll
Scotland's biggest export market is the rest of the UK at 62%, and the EU just 18%. So your economic argument for independence is baloney.
Scotland could still export to England after independence .
"Scotland's biggest export market is the rest of the UK at 62%, and the EU just 18%. So your economic argument for independence is baloney." Do those figures refer to the UK before Brexit occurred, or after, when Northern Ireland remained in the Single Market and the Customs Union?

You have no understanding of economics. The English wouldn't jeopardise their investments in Scotalnd and stop Scottish exports from companies they own in Scotland !
@@alanmarr3323 When you say English you obviously mean British or do you also lack understanding. You scratch just beneath the surface and you will always find anti English bigotry
In Scotland we have a fascist state and it ain't Tory.
Don't talk rubbish. There are 5 political parties in the Scottish parliament voted in by a proportional voting system. At the recent Scottish parliament election the Green and SNP who both had Indyref2 in there election manifestos got 72 MSPs in the Scottish parliament a majority of the MSPs.
