The public donât want you to do anything but announce a general election
They ain't listening...
The public want you 2 go 2 ruanda and never comeback ok traitor clow
Here here!!
That horrible man... just repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats and repeats. It's seems, he isn't able to understand... we DON'T want the Conservative party anymore... destroying what is left of this country...
The Tories are tone deaf. The public doesnât want or believe in this âplanâ. Get Sunak out
I was just about to write the very same.
Bunch of clowns.
They'll never get it
In summary the public are wrong thus nothing will change until they lose the GE.
@@juliemaddern the problem is they do get it and are pushing lies and deflections so enough of the public will believe them
In thirteen years they have not done ONE thing promised in the manifesto.
They take the credit for driving down inflation but not the blame for driving it in the first place.
it's nothing whatsoever to do with the Tories that inflation has fallen, but they are constantly wanting to claim the credit.
Hahaha yeah exactly
The markets brought down inflation not the tories.
He canât disconnect from his talking points. FFS.
You are beautiful and very intelligent, my sexy model.
The only thing Tories disconnect from is reality unfortunately đđŹđ§
Give us a break stop whining and give us a general election please
The arrogant, greedy and cruel Tories! Mark Harper has all those attributes. These Tories have delivered nothing good for this country in the last 15 yearsâŠ.
"The Public" want the Tories out
82% of the South Blackpool voters did not want Labour, what about that then?đ
Finish the job? What more damage do they have planned?
dread to think
Leaving the ECHR, stripping us of all our working and living rights, rounding up random brown people and threatening them with deportation/ deporting them ILLEGALLY, selling off the rest of the NHS, handing their mates all the land they bought for the northern leg of HS2 at completely knock down prices, further cutting funding to NHS, schools, and all basic services and then continue to blame immigrants that nothing works because of it, more raw sewage pumped into our rivers and waterways, I mean thereâs loads more stuff theyâre planning, this is just a small list.
Spending all the money so labour has nothing to spend on programs.
They want us out of the echr, so they can remove our human rights!
Leaving the ECHR. Freeports. Total loss of rights & standards for the population of the UK. Handing over more of the public purse to Infosys.
Just go for all the good you have done Rishi. Cameron, May, Boris, Truss & Rishi. We've been traumatised and ripped off by the entitled.
Yep and they still canât see that! Heâs not conceded or taken anything from this, none so blind. đ
And he thought going to spec savers would get him a sympathy vote .
@@imi4449word salad. Troll on.
This dullard will say anything to keep his job,whatever that might be.
I utterly despise these people.
I donât care about the boats. I just want a functioning NHS
đđđ
Yes, indeed, I need a dentist.
Me too! â@@Piggybank80828
NHS beyond the point of no return? Having worked in DHSC, NHSE and an NHS Trust I thought I could navigate the NHS, recently with serious illness in the family it became abundantly clear that despite some brilliant people the NHS is a knackered disjointed mess. Private care was the only option to get them better which has cost thousands.
@@zogzoogler Nonsense it's not the NHS it's the Tories deliberately sabotaging it to bring in a sell off to American companies.
General Election is needed, now.
This guy is like a broken record. He only has a couple of sentences and repeats them over and over and over again.
Don't they all, they just pass the notes with the same answers to every question to the eejit whose turn it is to face the media,
8:30 He's focused on repeating them in a sustainable way so that people have confidence that he can continue repeating them.
They just can't help themselves spouting the same messages - "the people want" when no-one is being asked or listened to!
100% because they should gather what we want!!! Like she said the public are telling you and still they double down!! Theyâre too thick at this point to be in powerâŠâŠ plus, why donât they ever think errrrr whoâs been in power for 14 years.
I don't recall anyone asking me what I, as an ordinary member of the public, want
Indeed. But have you noticed they always begin their replies with "look" or "listen"...
The British people are so angry with the mess you've created
Deluded utterly ridiculous he is clueless .
He just doesn't get.
Let's face they lost. Stop blaming the
Labour party
His deafness is one of the reasons they are being rejected. They have lost touch with voters priorities and having nothing to offer. Time to go.
The public want an election to chuck you lot out, Harper.
But you already know that.
The vile CONS are finished.
ZOMBIE TORY. Flogging a dead horse
Typical lying Tory (excuse the tautology - there's no such thing as a Tory who doesn't lie). What WE, THE PUBLIC, want is this so-called government to resign, and let us choose an alternative that might start to make things better and show some level of compassion and care for people who are not wealthy donors to the Tory party.
Harper the man who employed a cleaner that should not have been in the country
Dont elect billionaires to be in charge for any cabinate positions. They will never understand the needs of the general population of people
They're completely out of touch. Deluded.
Imagine if in employment, you personally lose over 50% of your customers for example...then when questioned by your managers, you double down and say your plan is working.
And Labour are "in touch"? That's not true either. The people are just saying "Well your idiots have made a mess of it, let's see what their idiots can do", We have a deep structural problem that won't be solved by a changing of the guard at the next election.
They don't have a plan or vision, Tories are pathetic.
"The public want us" - I think you'll find they don't đ
The lie detector said that was a lie đđđ
These people are deluded
I'm surprised he could hear the questions with his head wedged firmly in the sand.
Or somewhere else !!!
Thatâs not where I thought heâd put it! đ€Ł
Theyâve done nothing to actually help anyone. âStop The Boatsâ wonât alleviate the cost of living crisis
Stopping the boats means billions more each year to support the uk.
@@ncooper8438 it was a political choice to spend billions on hotels & not process the claims. They also declined setting up a processing centre in France. Their approach is completely wrong
They were looking for a new 'Get Brexit Done' narrative to leverage the 2024 election like they did in 2019. "Stop the Boats" is meant to be it, believe it or not, but it is not going to achieve the PR windfall they are looking for.
@@ncooper8438 Err figures please? And what about the millions spent on sending a few poor sods to Africa. If you really believe the illegal immigrants are the problem I think you have a different problem
They wouldn't have a boats problem but for Brexit.
These tories are deluded.
Kate`s face say`s it all, having to listen to his b/shite.
These clowns really think Rwanda is a solution?!
I think this is the first time I've seen a times broadcaster effectively challenge a deluded tory MP, not sure if this is a sign of things to come but long may it continue
She did a good job, surprised me! No doubt she will be suspended!
Theyâre just practising ahead of the incoming Labour government
Yes they were very good weren't they but usually we have people like that Laura on a Sunday morning who setued a Tory she nearly cry when the results came in we've also got Richard Madeley now showing his True Colors I used to think he was quite good but he can't seem to keep himself neutral either they should just ask the questions like they did and he gave the answer didn't he no you're wrong we're going to do more of the same however does he expect anybody to vote for him will anybody with any compassion or Sensibility or anything I expect the Greedy The Selfish will but then they're mostly torys anyway aren't they
Do the Tories seriously think if they load up flights to Rwanda with some immigrants that it's a game changer đ€Ż
Yes, unfortunately.
Do you think they will make a big splash in the media invite TV and newspaper journalists to watch while the 500 trained staff lead out the people out in handcuffs with Sunak on a podium making his big speech while fireworks explode all around him đđđ
The Public have had enough of the tories letâs hope theyâre outed next election.
Never EVER trust a tory!
One of my main issues with the Tories is that they refuse to acknowledge reality and address it. PS folks - there isnt a plan đđ
There must be a plan everyone says there is a plan and the plan is working, they have a plan to make the plan public when they have achieved all the actions points on the plan, but for now the plan is kept under lock and đ in a safe with a huge đ¶ guarding it.
The people want a general election
The Tory Govt have a not got a clue.
Oh I think they do. They know exactly what theyâre doing.
And in opposition they will not learn a thing.
The public wants a general election but they tone deaf to that
Fabulous interview. She just would not let him off the hook. Excellent stuff.
This could have been done 15 years ago! And it's amazing to watch!
Can you remind them that they have no mandate and have delivered none of their actual manifesto pledges from 2019
This man has 3 talking points that he keeps repeating. Why have people like this on? He adds nothing while coming across as desperately, willfully, out of touch.
What else can he say, they keep going on about delivering the 'plan'. Now this is going to go on for months until the end of the year.
The fact they lost London, despite the fact they claim things like Ulez is hugely unpopular.
In some ways they have reaped what they sowed, especially by cancelling Hs2 and claiming they would spend it on potholes. đ€Šđ»ââïž
We don't want you, we want to choose. We need a new party and a new set of civil servants
Listening to the Tories address what happened at the polls is like listening to someone who goes through half a bottle of single malt on a daily basis 'explaining' why they're not an alcoholic.
đ€Ł cheers
But they lost only 430+
@@maneshipocrates2264 Exactly!! Detractors aren't talking about the 515 seats they've managed to cling on to. That's nearly as many as the Lib Dem for goodness sake!! So it can't be all that bad surely? đ€Łđ€Łđđ
Brilliant
These people arenât just lying to the public anymore. They are lying to themselves
Public priorites
1. Reduce inflation to levels closer to what they where before the tories took over.
2. Reduce waiting lists to levels cooser to what they where before the Tories took over
3. ....You get the idea
By finish the job he means Sunak needs more time to rack in the money before he jets off
Sort out his India trade deal...
@@stevec6232 Very selfish! Local Cons thrown under the bus. The next few months mean further decline in support for the National Cons. Is the India Trade deal that valuable? No it isn't, except to Sunak. Tail wagging the dog - at everyone's expense but Sunak's. The definition of corruption.
@@stevec6232 Has to keep his daddy in law happy. There's a reason why his fans in India call him 'Mini Modi'
Maybe it's about time the public goes out and PROTEST for a GENERAL ELECTION- NOW!!!
THE PUBLIC WANT YOU LOT OUT OF GOVERNMENT, NOW!!!
âWe want to focus on what the public wantâ Not one politician, from any party knocked on one door in the street where I live. Which members of the public are they talking to?
Their friends.
@@lizdocherty3067 isnât that the truth!
Wasn't Einstein the person who said 'Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of madness?' . . It's called perseveration error in research.
Probably not.
When's the General Election?
Toss a coin..when little sunak say so, can you believe it !!!...
Like one of thse dolls with a string at the back. Pull the string and you get a quote.
'The public want' 'We will deliver' 'Hello nurse' 'Whahhh! Mummy'
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!
It's time to get behind the Prime Minister....... and push, cos he definitely won't jump.
đđđđthatâs exactly what I shouted at the telly last night when someone said this! đ
Call election now we want a change
Doing thesame over and over and then expecting a different outcome...đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Its called Madness.
Isn't it called Conservative Party Strategy?
@@keithewright Yepđđœ
The racist party put a brown guy in charge đ€Ł
Well put. The racists are hiding behind him. This is always the case.
That`s why reform are doing so well because the tory party faithful are deeply racist and hateful and will not vote for someone of Sunak`s skin colure
Who's members didn't want and voted for Liz Truss.
Lol the sweet irony, the racist plan of using a selfish brown man, to push racist policy that hurt other brown people is failing.
@@TryDiy That is just how racist they are. They would prefer white incompetence over a brown lesser incompetence. As a person on the fence, I actually dislike Rishi less than Starmer but the fact that a brown person is in charge has made the mood even more toxic and racist.
Get these people out.
Tell little richy to call a general election then, if everything is as good as you are saying, harper (but he won't, they all need to make a few more quid before getting dumped)
Follow the money, they will be sitting at home working out how much more money they need to have a nice cushy retirement.
Carry on regardless, and not listening - thats the tories all over. The arrogance and ignorance is very real lol pity
The public wanted you to listen to thier concerns and act on those concerns but that never happened so its time to go
They've basically give the game away on a conjouring trick: Convince the majority of the public that they're acting in their interests while, in truth, simply protecting the privileged position of a chosen very few. Now they're basically a Penn and Teller routine, openly displaying how the trick has been done while trying to get us all to believe it's magic.
Kate needs to stop questioning these pesky Tories, or Times Radio might Sangita her.
I like this dude. Go on Tory, donât change anything keep doing everything the same way! đđđđđđ
tories are a waste of time and space.
He was up and down the country, a mile above the voters, and never once heard anyone say they want a change. headinhandsemoji!
How about some tax increases on the rich and big corporations and more funding for the inland revenue specifically to target tax avoidance loopholes used by those categories and better legislation to close them?
This is ground control, come in Tories........Nope, looks like they have left the planet!
Hang on, there was no voting in Scotland or Wales so they are done!
Delivering: yes they will be. Pizza's to our homes as they are forced out and have to work for Domino's
PLUS THE TORIES ARE DOIN SO WELL THE VOTERS GIVE THEM A KICKING
The public want working public services, and fair pay. Can you work on that?
Arrogant and deluded horrible party.
So Ă ll that fuss was really for nothing whatsoever to really change....................................
NOTHING CHANGES!
NOTHING!
Busy doing nothing, working the whole day through; trying to find lots of things not to do đđ€Šââïž
Driving down NHS waiting lists, a Tory mantra that has no manifestation of the investment needed, to refurbish the only institution that promotes any pride in uk citizenship.
They have no public mandate for ANY of the things he's dribbling about. NONE of them were in the 2019 Manifesto. If they took zero blame for inflation going up they cannot claim credit for it coming down, which they had sod all to do with anyway. Get these chancers out!
why do politicians have so much difficulty saying a simple "yes"?
Not listening
The Tories are so out of touch. They have no clue what the publicâs main areas of concern are.
It's over tory boy!.. it's like they are trying to keep a frozen chicken on life support!
This man is in denial ,
Wow. That sounds like a politician who is going to be out of power for a LONG time.
We're sick of the tories end of. Harper reminds me of a budgie.. repeatedly saying who's a pretty boy then.
14years of achieving nothing positive,just money for rich mates and tax dodgers.
Meanwhile public services spiral downward!
This clown is beyond delusional. He talks about "public priorities", when the priority for most of the country now, is a general election ASAP.
Blaming the Labour party for your failure. The public want a GE
Why do politicians often begin a response with - Look.... To me, it's like a teacher telling you to listen. Anyway, confidence in the party equals sorting the NHS. Time to elect Mia and her team
what do you want? a couple of quid savings in TAX cuts, or do we want better public services? I'm on minimum wage, and I choose better public services every time, the current government still think that they can buy people off with fake tiny TAX cuts, sometimes quality of services far outway a few extra quid in your pocket, because they are so motivated by money they are completely blind to this.
Yes, the public want you to deliver. The problem is that you haven't. What the people want now is a general election so they can put in another government that they hope will deliver what they want on the cost of living and the NHS.

Get behind Richi. Fffffaaaaatrr behind him
What the public really want, is a general election.
When we were in the EU, boat crossings were negligible. Why didn't the interviewer correct the Tory's lies? Legal migration was also a fraction of last year's 1.2 million from Africa and Asia.
It's because we had a returns agremeent under the Dublin convention. Once we left the EU that was not replaced,the irony is probably lost on the Brexit voters that far from taking back control of our borders, we have never had less control.
@@CA_I exactly! Take Back Control!!
The only things they are delivering is the migrants to the hotelsđ
He surely cannot deny that this result is the will of the people. đđ
He said they haven't got flights off to Rwanda yet? What about the one they sent back or did they..
The guy that they sent wasn't a migrant from the boats, he was allready here for for ages but his application was allready refused and he was due to be deported any way so they asked him if would mind going to somewhere slightly different I.E rwander with the promise of ÂŁ3000 so he agreed, but in reality he had nothing to do with the refugees from the boats...as he was already here before any of this started, so when sunak or anyone else says that one migrant has been sent to rwander it's not strictly true...
She's very persistent. I would have given up in the first minute and told him to f*ck off and get a proper job. Which he probably already has.
Itâs like a broken record. Tone deaf itâs surreal
This man should say OK lets have an Election, the people want one ASAP, they are Effing Toast!
