Sir Tony 😅. Oh how I wish we had a time machine to let him know then your Cheshire cat grin will get the cream in the end.
Poor TV AM, on death row after they lost their franchise in October 1991, however they still has 14 months to continue to air until they got the official axe on January 1st 1993. By the 1992 election, TV AM had closed their in house news gathering team, contracted the rest of their news out to Sky News, and then suddenly noticed they had to do election coverage, which they did with the least amount of money they could spend on.
Yea it was a shame they had a rocky start but were good by end of the 1980s.
Lorraine Kelly is as incisive as ever
Cool this was near the end of TV am.
Sad Blair got sucked into the Iraq war he ruined his legacy people don’t like him now. He looked very young there.
Sleazy Cecil
He did nothing to support the child he had though the affair he had with he's sectaty
That's absolutely the biggest criticism and scandal we can create for him
Sarah Keas ?
Labour could turn the majority that year
Whatever Blairs many faults and mistakes - and there were many - he was always a superb orator who captured the mood of the people and expressed it.
Our politicians nowadays just act like drones and clones.
Most people I know are sick of all the current career politicians who have done nothing to help this country, just presided over it's downfall.
I'd love to go back to 1992 - The UK was a far better place & I genuinely despair for my kid's future as they grow up in the dangerous and expensive shambles that is 2024 caused by the last 25 years of political self serving and ignorance.
The UK was a better place in 1992 because another thirty four years of Thatcherism had not happened. The previous fourteen years of it were bad enough but Blair hollowed out the Labour Party after John Smith's death, converting it to Thatcherism, which Smith or Kinnock before him would not have. The root cause of all Britain's problems is neoliberalism, above all the deliberate transfer of wealth to the rich, the sole purpose of Thatcherism. There are plenty of measures Labour implemented 1997- 2010 that left and right as well as the apolitical could agree with, but Labour failed to reverse Thatcherism, which is the only way out of the mess of 2024. It failed to reverse anti trade union legislation, ensuring wages remained low for millions and work precarious. Privatisation was left in place even though the public did not benefit from it at all, and right to buy sale of council houses continued. This is one of the major reason for the unaffordable house prices in recent decades ( as well as insufficient building) but Labour has no plans to tackle the housing crisis, including unaffordable rents in 2024.
Starmer is the establishment pick to maintain the status quo. In the sixth richest economy in the world, half of adults go to bed early because they cannot afford to heat their homes, and millions are dependent on help from food banks. Self- evidently, this is because of inequality engineered since 1979 for the benefit of the rich who do not pay enough tax. The rich can be rich, that is not an issue, as long as they pay their fair share for the common good. I hear the anguish you express and hope things work out well for your family down the line but the tragedy is that the public has allowed an ideology that does not work for the majority to flourish by accepting it since 1979.
the win in 97 was the worst thing to ever happen to Labour they learned all the wrong lessons.
Yes look at them now 😂
@@Isclachau just another corporate party
Yes 3 successive elections wins. Terrible for them. Glad they “learned the lessons” and reverted back to the Left to lose the next few elections
@@robcord5982 A few salient details you are choosing to leave out in your strawman. Anyone could have beat the tories in 97. Never said they should go hard left . After all anytime a party in the west goes left the media freak out and make sure that it never happens. But Labour became the party of the rich tax dodgers and lost its working class roots.
The Champagne Revolutionaries just hate winning elections and ❤️ losing them .
Evil man
That is a bit harsh on Cecil Parkinson. 😁
What the one who deserted his out of marraige daughter?
Lorraine Kelly yes yes yes
handsome

@Castlegrad He ruined his own legacy. I'm realising more these years that Blair literally went from hero to zero because of Iraq.
@Castlegrad Yeah you're right he's scared of being tried now and keeps a low profile
