7:54 "Prime miniature" the Freudian slip we never knew we needed 😂
Was it a slip. I rewound (showing my age) that part 5 times because I thought I was hearing things. Definitely a moniker thar should be used throughout the election campaign
@@darrenowen3199 I use it whenever I can
You don't get out much do you! "Prime Miniature" has been around for a long time.
@@georgewaters6424 bit of a stretch there mate. I wouldn't equate my life experiences with the dictionary knowledge of nicknames political commentators use for MPs.. because "I get out much"?
@@xl3nx you really do need to get out more, or improve your long term memory. Insta reply isn't helping you much here :P
James, watching from New Zealand and I'm fascinated as to why they have been in power for 14 years.
Winston Peters Rocks
Because Labour is no longer for the working class and just runs the country into debt. Furthermore, the Blaire and G. Brown era is still raw in the people's minds. The Lib Dems are Dictators and crazy, disillusioned WOKE.
We are all in crisis...and really despise this rabble!
Hi, New Zealand, Wish I was there.
best wishes from Scotland.
@@elizabethf1591 Is that because they got rid of Queen Jacinda?
I love it when a billionaire tells me how we’re all struggling
Yes and Starmer is the next billionaire to do the same
@@TEMPLAR969 apparently his net worth is around 7.7 million compared to Rishi Sunaks £651 million
Yea, I much prefer a multi millionaire tell the same thing 😂😵💫
He's not a billionare but would like to be, I ate today :]
He wasn't born billionaire. He worked hard and lucky to have a rich wife😂
All the polls are down; And the sky is grey

Did James just call Rishi Sunak "Prime Miniature"??
… but he should have! Little runt!
He certainly did.
And the 2024 nomination for the Oscar🏆 for best soundtrack🎶 goes to........

Don't dare take it for granted that the Tories won't win. You can't take anything for granted in a post-brexit, post-trump world.
Interestingly, the school year in California Schools generally starts on 08 July 2024-four days after Sunak loses.
Um, no it doesnt. It starts in AUGUST
I so enjoyed listening to this post, I found it hilarious. Who knew James was such a comedian 😅 Brilliant!!!
There's more really bad news on the horizon and he wants out so it's somebody else's problem
💯
HE WANTS TO LEAVE WHILE HIS BANK IS UP
He's ok
That’s not his money. It belongs to his wife family and that has nothing to do with him
@@nykaaanair1864 he stole from the british people
@@darkjustthewayyalike2322 which they stole from his ancestors.
Dominic Cummings and Analytic with Boris Johnston started the downfall of the UK.
tony blair and mass migration*
"Talent puddle"
Love it
David Cameron enabled the arsonists and that is why he should be top of the list.
Bet you the cat wasnt out in the rain 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
He can’t get the India deal done, so he’s had all he can get, and no chance of Rwanda happening, so he can’t make any more money and he’s off.
Hmmm who to chose between a PUPPET and a LIAR 🤔 I have no confidence in this government tbh.
So it comes down to voting for the man who held a press conference outside in the rain, without a hat, coat or umbrella, or the man who did it indoors.
Rain never hurt anyone. Unfortuatly.
@@garyz2043tell that to William Henry Harrison
@@garyz2043 tell that to William Henry Harrison
If he used an umbrella , he would have been labelled The Wally with the Brolly ala Steve McLaren 2008.
because he knows the torys are going to get rid of him anyway so he has got in first
He presided over the 2008 crash as an investment banker and made money and has done the same in the past 8 years he has no guilt, he’s to arrogant, I mean pure arrogance!
How do you preside over a world event when you are employed at a bank? You might as well say the same of every investment banker going. If you do a bit of research Nigel Farage was never an investment banker. Trawling through the internet Nigel Farage is listed in a number of places as a commodies trader, specifically in the London Metal Exchange. He never apepars to have worked as an investment banker ever.
When you are presiding over something you have some influence over it, technically the dictionary definition means "in charge of or in control of." So, you are saying Nigel Farage was in charge of the 2008 finicial crisis that was the US mortgage sub prime market afordability and repayment problem. The people in the UK who presided over the 2008 financial crisis for the UK were, the prime minister, chancellor of the exchequer and the governor of the Bank of England. Those people were Gordon Brown (Labour), Alistair Darling (Labour) and Mervyn King (appointed by Gordon Brown). Whilst you might not like Nigel Farage, you credit him with too much power and influence that he simply never had in 2008.
@@iggysfriend4431 No, you misunderstand. He was part of a team specifically engaged in masterminding the events leading up to the crash. It's not just guilt by association.
@@Non-Doctors-Music Which team was this, when was he appointed, what was his role, who appointed him, whom did he work with on this project?
how exactly have the war in ukraine and energy prices fixed themselves?
It's going to help Sunak when some of your colleagues allow him to spout lies and drivel without pushback. How you look some of your colleagues in the eye is beyond me?
He ,Sunak, doesn't want to be a wartime PM.
We both smelled something’s burning 👍.
They look like characters from spitting image without the need of a mask! They certainly acted like them!
The bit about his wife saying "call it a day was hilarious" lol
He call the election before he was pushed.
Did I hear James call him Prime miniture?
Wife said, "If you go on I want a divorce!"
Things can only get badder.
When I get drenched by the rain I now say Im sunaked
Rishi has had all the fun there is to have and now he's off to his next adventure. California is calling!
The Crime - Minister
Trump needs a fresh snake oil salesman.
I am laughing so hard I'm crying and when I'm not laughing I'm just crying . This is because of the circus , that is politics...Luckily for my mental health I can turn off these messages but one day I have hope that this circus will leave town and the messages we all endure will be of a healthier sustainable and more complete nature.
This has got June 1970 all over it. He’ll be hoping for a wave of optimism in glorious weather (as then) and an England quarter final in a major tournament. When In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry is announced as his campaign theme we’ll know for sure.
I'd go for "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" by Travis.
7:53 was the prime miniture snipe intentional or just a slip of the tongue? Either way it's absolute solid gold 😂
We are going bankrupt😢
I been WAITING for this upload....
Cheers from across the pond!!!!
Vote the Torries out!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s it got to do with you?
@@jimthompson9370 Nothing....Everything
Yeah but who to vote for.😂😂😂😂😂
25:44 "How bad would things have to be to have your day brightened up by James Cleverly walking into a room?"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well look at what they did to the meaning of pandemic 😷
Maggie Thatcher!
I am amazed James that you are the only person to ask that…Sunak has claimed all sorts of stuff he’s never done but no one challenges him…I heard “Tory Boy” spouting about how the Tories had created 4500 jobs…but no one asked him how….
Thank goodness for James !
He's called a snap election before summer ends because he knows his nonsense promises will never come to fruition and has to campaign on successes that 'might' happen instead of failures that 'have' happened.
Oooh boy….you’re in for a surprise when Labour take over 😂😂😂
@@powerhouse1949 how? Labour literally have a better record over the same level of time.
@@powerhouse1949Why’s that?
@@ManGoatHamburger time will enlighten you bigmac !!
@@V4Now times have changed since Labour were last in power. This country is a whole different kettle of fish now. I’m neutral so I don’t see it as Tory vs Labour. The Tories have been appalling but Labour are truly special. We shall see………
Maybe Sunak sees a war coming.
@Lesiga1 Correct! Sunak is getting out, he has no intention of being a wartime PM.
The reason why Risky lies, because he takes the voters for fools. .😂😂
Perhaps he was ordered to?
"Prime miniature" love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🌹 🏳⚧ 🏳🌈 Blame? Simple. The voting public.
He can always get a job on talk tv after the election
The reason why he didn't use an umbrella?
The Sun headline from when Steve Mclaren was England Manager and England lost a crucial match. Mclaren was photographed looking drenched and hapless, despite the umbrella. The object on media hate and ridicule, the headline the next morning was: THE WALLY WITH THE BROLLY.
Still, don't worry, Rishi - things can only get better. 😅
James ur doing great job
HAHHA 'So you couldn't feed it to a Vegetarian' Haha Ya like a fine wine in the bottle or a whiskey in the cask James haha
Why on earth wld sunak care what anyone thinks of him. He doesn't care about working class pple, remember he doesn't know any, so I believe u r crediting him with a compassion he does not have.
I can only assume something absolutely horrendous is in the offing and that is why he's gone now. Something which is a result of brexit I wld think. Why is no one talking about the half million leaving UK every year?!
FOR THE LADS 😂😂😂😂😂
Expecting this to be a fun show. And it's Thursday so Mystery Hour - WOO HOO!
He called it because there will soon be an ICC arrest warrant for him .
Izzat right?!
James O’Brien: with respect, why is it that George Galloway isn’t being mentioned in the conversations about upcoming elections ?
Don't we need to start talking about the honours list and what it will do to the future balance in the other place!
He will obviously be happy with rewarding those who have already rinsed the public coffers.
Where is the Iceberg ? Next Day Sunak visits the Titanic Centre . S . O . S .
Things will only get worser
Do you have any idea how bad things are going to be by the end of summer, when the sewage has had months to brew up raw sewage related diseases like dysentery and typhoid and cholera? All the antibiotic resistant bacteria breeding and multiplying and mutating??
This is indeed a tangled web going back many years where a lot of people set out to deceive for personal reasons!
Jimmy, they should have named you Walter! You’re such a Wally!
I wish you were the UK's prime minister
Great news about the sun being gutted 😅
He is literally out of his depth on a wet pavement. Can't even think to grab a brolly on his way out of the door.
Whenever I see a JO'B pop-up I laugh and remind myself some people think he's an actual journalist :D
Submitting letters of NO CONFIDENCE. That's sweet,, I've been saying for years that unless we have the choice to vote for a NO CONFIDENCE in the ballot box it cannot be considered a Democratic vote.
Extreme weather events are going to ramp up with warming temperatures too . That's definitely something rural voters notice and are most affected by.
It's amazing what HAARP can do
James, you're brilliant 👏 👌 😆
At a glance...1 was reading from a well rehearsed script, the other 1, was talking directly to a crowd without looking down once at a written script.
It's very obvious who is telling fibs.
What about Cummings
Occam’s razor is not “the simplest solution” it’s the conclusion with the least assumptions.
Answer: meat contains water. During freezing, the frozen water molecules grow in size, like tiny crystals that grow and over time disrupt the texture of the meat. The slower the rate at which it is frozen, the worse the effect. The red fluid after thawing is the «juice » of the meat.
I think he's calling it now so we can still promise Jam tomorrow, especially when it comes to the Rwanda scheme.
I voted brexit just(we never had truthfull honest debate(but in 2019 went with corbyn liked his manifesto, I cant beleive what we are putting up with.sorry people we all need to get involved in politics wide and varied.
Vote for the Citizen Independents or The Workers Party of Britain!!!
End the reign of the Uniparty Crime Collective!!!
Hear hear
James O Brian ….the happiest liberal socialist I know 😂😂😂
You need to get out a bit more, sweetie.
@@ManGoatHamburger you need to eat more hamburger, darling 😂
Can you imagine many politicians making you feel better by meeting them? Especially Tory MPs.
Alex Salmond needs a chapter
He’s doing it so he avoids this years strikes from the public sector and NHS who have been offered a measly pay uplift this year, the union are intending to turn it down. He wants the GE before all of that chaos because he has plenty of money for war but not for nurses, psychologists, care assistants, local council workers etc.
Who broke Britain? An unpopular suggestion which will unlikely get voted up: the British people
VOTE GEORGE GALLOWAY.
Some people are just never happy.
he's called it because a) he knows they've already lost so what's the point, pull the plaster quick. b) He wakes up each morning curled up like an ickle feotus in the corner of his massive bed (normal sized really) petrified about the next wave of disasters of the day and has run out of underwear to cope. But in all seriousness, he's doing a cammy (david cameron) and getting out before the storm hits.
Prorogation of Parliament has since taken place. King Charles III Windsor and the House...
It's not like they need the dosh
The only reason he couldn't wait any longer was the long term view is only getting worse, and he knew it. Between now and January 2025, things, as bad as they are now, are going to get worse.
Only Labour can introduce new policy which can turn things around.
The economy is based on a GDP of 3.5Trillion $
Which generates a budget of only £650Billion.
Taxing the biggest sector, by 10% more will generate another £150 Billion that could fund the services such as youth programmes and elderly+child care.
Who's to blame for the state of the nation? In an ideal world the blame would fall on the entire Tory party. Personally, I think it should be the architects of austerity, division and Brexit... Cameron/Osborne. Those that followed just ran (on steroids) with what they introduced.
Plans. The Tories talk about having a plan. Does that mean they have not had a plan to date? If they did have a plan then why do they think we in such a mess? (NHS, Immigration, economy).
Brexit broke it
Andrew bridgen has told us why.
Nice hatchet job .
Klaus told him, of course.
Because he knows things are only getting worse.
You forgot Taresa May - she was very iffy about her policies big problem as a leader
The caller who said _the public_ was correct, or to be precise- Anyone who voted for the Tories or who voted Leave or even to a lesser degree didn't vote against them or it.
They're all responsible and they're all still out there and still will be after the Tories are gone.
Yet another argument for federalism and decentralisation
