- Former Tory Minister turned podcast host Rory Stewart joins journalist James Ball to discuss the state of UK politics ahead of the upcoming election.
Mr Stewart admits that he thinks he is likely to vote Lib Dem at the upcoming election although he would serve a Labour Government if offered the right role by Keir Starmer.
He is also scathing about Former Prime Minister Liz Truss, whom he accuses of being 'genuinely uninterested' about the environment during her time as Environment Minister.

Liz Truss saying to him that she wanted to abolish the Foreign Office somehow doesn't surprise me. Says more about Sunak who still let's her join the elections to be an MP. What a buffoon.
never said a word at the time though , just took the pay just another tory willing to join the revamped tory light , starmer is selling snake oil
As a party you leader, you can't just ban people from standing for election because you don't think they'll do a good job. What kind of totalitarian is this? That's not democracy.
She could still run (and lose) as an independent, so yeah the fact that she’s still under the umbrella of the Tories should be a travesty. But since the whole party is a travesty, it makes sense that she’s still welcome.
He’s a good man. I’m very anti Conservative Party, but he’s one of my favourite politicians x
That could be because he isn’t a conservative. Duh….
go look at his voting record and come back to us. he supported and voted with all the BS until johnson didnt want him any more
@@robkeeleycomposer go look at his voting record
@kanedNunable but if he didn't he wouldn't have been a minister...
@@kanedNunable To be fair he's been quite open on this topic. He's outlined the fact that being an MP particularly back bencher essentially makes you powerless and if you don't tow the party line you either get kicked out or the little power you do have is removed.
He's probably been one of the most outspoken on challenging the whip system on top of that he has explained why looking at the voting records can be misrepresentative. As it summarises policy into a single statement but you are voting on a list of bills etc.
If you were to take Theresa May's Brexit deal for example and claimed that MP X didn't vote for it therefore they voted against Brexit itself. It's just not a nuanced representation.
A few comments here have ridiculed this bloke for actually, and I mean actually, talking sense. This is why I worry for the future. The tories have maxed-out the money they can grab secretly and are now blatantly giving bungs to donors in the hope of backhanders and there are some people who still think this is better than any alternative. The country is getting ruined and there are genuine champions of it in these comments. Absolutely incredible.
This bloke was a Tory and even he can’t ignore it. Some of you need to see a GP and check you have a heart.
Oh, hang on, you’ll have to wait a bit for that appointment 🤨
What is "heart"?
@@joelboy19 it’s that thing that pumps blood around your body and often associated with empathy and kindness.
@@timhobbis1 tories have legislated that kindness and empathy does not exist and that anyone that needs help doesn't really need it.
He might have been in the Tory party but he isn't a Conservative only a handful of them are now.
You reap what you sew
Humane and intelligent. Genuine . Honest. Read his book. Five ministerial jobs in a couple of years. Every time he was getting to grips with the job, they transferred him.
Can't have someone actually trying to make things better. It's really depressing
They were probably put off by having someone actually intelligent and competent around. Tories can't have that in their party.
WEF member ... don't be a fool.
He’s a liar and sell out.
Why he pretended to be conservative, I will not know.
So he says. Could it be that he was always left-leaning and undermining any attempts to fulfil the huge Conservative vote-mandate. His books are well-written but they are his version of himself. Not necessarily the truth. They remind me of Obama's books. Seductive but -shall we say- partial with the truth
A decent man with a good brain. Hugely over qualified for government.
We don't want qualified people. We want competent ones and he's not that either.
@@1943colinhe’s really intelligent and compassionate and believes in public service. The best PM we never had 😢. Go and do your homework before posting disparaging comments m8
@@1943colinwhat do you do for a brain.
A former Tory minister who votes Lib Dem and wants to work for Labour.
In theory. But sadly his voting record is appalling. His voting record makes him the exact slimy toad he is railling against in this video.
The Tories shot themself in the foot not electing this guy as their leader. They would not be staring into the barrel of defeat if they had. I have never liked a Tory but he actually seems genuinely intelligent and capable.
The Tories went on this right-wing lurch.... so people like Rory Stewart were no longer part of the picture.
The trouble is he's not a Tory, and more than Blair was Labour.
@@WH-hi5ew Tories are so far left, there isn't a Conservative among them. Reform will trash them this year
Im not sure Rory is that great. He is a ardent Monarchist and would obviously not support taxing private schools giving his Eton education....So he would just be a "Nice Tory" but not offering any change to the massive inequalities in Britain
@@DavidDragonetti I'm not saying it would have been a gigantic departure from the conservatism that we've had but if that train wreck of a party had someone in charge who had a bit of competence about them they wouldn't have completely destroyed their reputation.
Always annoyed me that I liked Rory Stewart. I think it annoyed me that he gave the tories whom I hate some credibility.
But, to be fair to you, and other 'Rory likers' out there, he absolutely loathes what the Tory party has become (indeed, as he said, he won't even vote for them)
Dominic Grieve and David Gauke were pretty decent too. No wonder they're persona non grata in the Tory party.
You can think about the fact he served under Cameron for a decade, while the tories devastated the country with austerity. He may be the nicest tory, but he was (is?) still a tory.
Yes, please, get Rory a ministerial role. We need more brains than populism in our next government for the next 10 years. Otherwise, the country is going to sink.
The country IS sinking!
These sorts got us into this mess.
@1943colin I still think that another 5 years of Conservative we will. But I'm not sure if Labour is the answer.
@user-cn2uh1jy4e Truth!
But you got see the difference between the Tories. He is an old school of thought Conservative.
Foreign secretary
I wish he would join the Labour party. And then run as a labour MP and then be a labour minister.
Why? He by all appearances an intelligent thoughtful person but he is a conservative.
As someone with close to 50 years of voting Labour, I would be tempted the elevate him to the upper house and give him Internatioanal Development.
@@dogzero1 he should have always been Labour.
He’s a champagne socialist. Likes the benefits of free market but for everyone else, believes that the masses need to be ruled.
By claiming conservative values, he was nothing more than one whose entire mission was get elected on a safe conservative ticket whilst deliberately setting to undermine the views and desires of the Conservative minded electorate he was supposed to represent.
Treacherous and duplicitous.
Not a character who is worthy of trust
As usual Rory is spot on.
Any party should welcome him with open arms, he's clever, compassionate and articulate, absolute PM material, he was far too good and honest to survive in this batch of nasty, corrupt, lying bunch self serving Tories where the shit always rises to the top.
or, you know, we could just admit that eton is quite clearly a place concerned with turning out people who aren't fit to govern a democracy, & move on?
Yep in a democracy, we get the leaders we deserve. We weren’t good enough for a serious guy like this. I like Rory, I was rooting for him inhis leadership bid, despite never having voted tory. The only politician I can say I would have genuinely been pleased to see win the top spot of that party. But, He’s not the messiah, he still served in a government that caused the mass deaths of vulnerable people with their policies. And defends colleagues that did the same. I don’t imagine for a moment that he relished the cruelty of that in the way that I believe many of his colleagues did, or even agreed with the policies, but he has to remain tarnished by it to some degree, in my mind. Hundreds of thousands won’t get the chance to “rehabilitate” THEIR lives that otherwise might have done, because they are now tragically, needlessly 6 feet under. It’s a shame that he didn’t get a shot at taking his party in (if not a more compassionate,) a less wicked direction, as I’m certain he would have wanted to. And don’t get me wrong even if I’d had complete prescience and any say in it I’d still rather he was there at the outset. It’s not hard to understand why he didn’t continue in politics, with what the Tories have become. They’ve gone from the nasty party to something even more despicable. Wickepedia shows that he was labour affiliated pre 1993. I’d be interested to hear from him what caused the change of heart. Perhaps the greatest shame is that he threw in his lot with cameron and co.s wreckers at all but 20/20 hindsight etc…..no doubt he is proud of his achievement with that party. Which is part of why I think there’s a conflict to me letting go of my distrust. Not that I fully trust any politician, even ones I am prepared to lend my vote to.
If he was far too good and honest he wouldn’t have been a Tory in the first place.
@@rinkydinkfretboard8737The problem with that is, the Tory he claims to be, the party hasn’t existed since before Thatcher.
@@iangascoigne8231 indeed. I’d just add that society is constantly changing, as you no doubt realise. Attitudes that were acceptable then would be gasped at now etc. Overt opposition to very idea of the NHS for example. Political solutions are required for the time we live in, not 50+ years in the past. Failure to bring that kind of vision may be the overriding flaw of both the major parties going into this GE. Of course I didn’t mean to be as scathing of Stewart as I may have ended up being. Just that some collective responsibility has to be aimed his way, even if he was swimming against tue tide. At the same time as having to concede that It’s a shakey position, as I think it’s clear he is fundamentally a decent person. Ultimately perhaps the reason I’m so queasy about being too quick to point out my reservations based on his party affiliations is that I sense that he has learned from the experience (the right lessons, as opposed to the continuing lurch to the unpalatable right of the current tory party/nigel farage cover band. ;)
If Labour are smart they will get him!
Stewart has a brilliant mind and he is a patriot, something that has been in extremely short supply for the last 14 years.
He is a good man and I would have that man as PM any day!
Not looked at his voting record have you lol
I genuinely feel it's a tragedy that there appears to be no place in the modern Conservative party for a decent, smart, centrist one-nation Tory like Rory Stewart. I mean, I wouldn't vote for him, but at least he seems to have the intellectual heft to understand that politics needs some principles. That's virtually unique in conservatism.
Yet you wouldn't vote for him....🤦♂️
@@rosendo3523 No, because I'm a Labour supporter. I was born and grew up on a council estate in Tyneside you'd be surprised if I voted for anyone else. Doesn't mean I think everybody that doesn't agree with me is scum. Some of them are. But, I don't think he's one of them.
All our political parties have been bought and sold. all the high places are occupied by people epstein et al can blackmail

@@rosendo3523 No, because I'm a Labour voter - I was born on a council estate on Tyneside, you'd be surprised if I voted any other way.

Maybe you should trying being a bit less judgemental and a bit more open in your worldview. You might find you see the world with a bit more nuance.
I like Rory Stewart. He’s one of the most down to earth people I’ve met.
That's why he's a member of the WEF 😂
He doesn't strike me as genuinely down to earth at all.
I would love to see Rory working with the next government. He is a real Conservative, but more importantly, he is a humble and intelligent human being.
Rory Stewart, the best prime minister we never had, He is educated, eloquent, charming and he genuinely cares.
He was and is a Liberal Democrat he has no place pretending he is a Conservative, wrong party Rory !
Liz Truss is as mad as a box of frogs and she was PM, so what does that say about the Tories at the moment.
Frog spawn.
Liz Truss was just a mouthpiece. She demonstrated the true intentions of Tory backers. It was a mask-off moment for the entire movement.
“Finally we can do what we want”
Crashes the economy
“Well it wasn’t our fault that happened” even though it happened almost exactly when they announced the policies.
I think it shows what a bad idea it is for parties which want to appeal the public to entrust the election of leaders to their membership!
I know it seems undemocratic, but *members* are not representative of the electorate, so *members* have a tendency to saddle a party with leaders who lack broad appeal. When sitting MPs elected their leader they were more likely to understand both the importance of someone acceptable to the MPs, but also that the leader has to have the potential to win votes in the country.
Being a "god" among your membership is an unlikely qualification for taking the middle-ground where elections get won.
The answer is in the Question.
The fact thought the British people would accept her. The fact they accepted her. Says a lot.
@@rolandnelson6722 the British people didn't vote for her. 🧀🧀🧀.
Love the way he thinks about politics, rare to find someone you could respectfully disagree with in politics these days
Yeah, can't say I don't like him. He knows the difference between "duty" and personal gain. Unlike the vast majority of his ex-colleagues. He's also hated by a lot of the right-wing press as a "wet". It's a real shame for the country.
The damage the right-wing element of the Tories and the media has done is astonishing. It won't be fixed in one Parliament and Labour will be blamed.
I think the epitome of "wet" was when rishi sunak came out and did the public address for the election....absolutely soaked!!!!
That's ultimately where the tories have gone wrong.
Starmer has blairs hand firmly up his rectum operating the mouth.
why do you expect ANY difference between red tories and blue labour???
What he's hinting at toward the end is STOP aggressively asking Labour about tax rises and give them a chance to govern with their overall philosophy, which is nowhere near as 'left' as it used to be (and some would have you believe it still is). You have to trust people and give them a chance to show you the bigger picture can work. After all, how can it be any worse than the last 14 years.
One of the best political commentators. And the Tories have left him. As well as that Liz Truss was awful
Genuine fella I wish there was more like him the country would be so much better
He's not overly impressed by Liz Truss. What a surprise.
It boggles the mind that they withdrew the whip. He would have been a formidable leader, incredibly smart, thoughtful and insightful.
I like this guy. He seems to have integrity.
Probably one of the best PMs we never had !!!
Never a true spoken. (J J)
You are joking of course.
Perhaps a bit too emotional for the top job.
Totally agree
In a different world maybe, but he's too thoughful, too despising of party political games to last long. Which is quite sad.
Total and utmost respect for this man for his decency and his honesty, two traits that doomed him in the Tory party. I honestly think that he would be an asset to the incoming Labour Government given his experience and his knowledge and intellect. Says it all when he made his pitch to be leader and was beaten by Boris Johnson, and look how that turned out...
It turned out much better. We wouldn't have seen half of the investment we did under Boris.
As someone with close to 50 years of voting Labour, I would be tempted the elevate him to the upper house and give him Internatioanal Development.
@@Bettys_Eldest why?

Although I like Rory Stewart. As a lifelong labour voter it really does worry me about where they are these days when so many Tory’s & Tory donors are endorsing them & even willing to join / work with them.
Makes it very hard to get excited about the change when it feels like we are still getting what appears to be centre-right politics
exactly, it should be about different ideas, not re-branding the same idea.
They'll throw their hat in with anyone if it means keeping their careers and associated perks. It's more concerning that Starmer is happy to let them in just to one up Rishi for a few seconds. We've sunk incredibly low as a nation.
As someone with close to 50 years of voting Labour, I would be tempted the elevate him to the upper house and give him Internatioanal Development. It's an area which always looses out, gives too many opportunities for the racists in this country to kick up a fuss. But it's an area which like very few in politics, he is interested and knowledgeable in, he has the judgement to make sure that the money we spend improves lives in the developing world to all our eventual benefit.
I think that so many of these Tories historically made up the left of the Tory Party and the Right of the Labour Party, which were really close to each other, and the reality is that the Tories have gone so nuts that many such people have in fact, gone over to Labour because there is more of a home for them in the sensible Labour Party as opposed to the ridiculous Tory Party.
An honest man (JJ)
Vote tactically
We need people like him to save this country. Speaks common sense
My god, a politician (Liz Truss) not interested in foreign affairs. I get that a guy working 12 hours a day in construction might not have time for that, but it is utterly shameful for an MP of any party to be like this.
Rory to work with the new government on citizens' assemblies? :)
The best leader the conservatives never had.
Had the privilege of seeing him speak at his book tour stop in Oxford. Very funny, profound, and at times depressing. Looking forward to reading his book.
Perhaps instead of having a read team and blue team, we as a civilisation grow up and build democracy based on collective betterment.
A highly intelligent thoughtful man
Born, bred and growing up in a Yorkshire mining town, from a mining family, during Thatcher I am a dyed in the cloth left leaning Labourite, but this guy is the one ex-tory MP I actually have some respect for.

just look at it. the absolute state of that.
Mr. Stewart does rather enjoy thinking of himself as the prettiest centrist at the ball, gathering all the compliments that we see below.
Seems to gather plenty of cynics though...your comment being one of them.
The comments section under any Rory Stewart video is always one of the weirdest spots on the Internet.
How dare a public figure speak his mind in a reasonable fashion and have people agree with him?
Given that UK prisons are in dire need of emergency action and that Rory has been a prisons' minister, it would not surprise me if he were offered a non-parliamentary role by a Labour government
What a signing he would be!
A Labour Government would treat him with the respect he, and the country, deserves.
A decent man with a good brain. Hugely overqualified for government. Terrible dandruff problem.
This is great - is there a longer version of this somewhere?
As Ken Livingstone said " if voting really changed anything they'd abolish it " - prepare for another 5 years of sameness from Starmer's version of Toryism !!
He was a Primary school educator for William & Harry , clearly that meant Diana loved him , nuff said imo

What made you stop?
We need people out of the extremely well trodden path of Eton and Oxbridge who keep on reappearing in new roles and are not embarrassed at putting themselves forward. Nigel for example. Populist he may or may not be but he has the momentum of a winner.
Nigel Farage is hardly that different.... the son of a City of London Stockbroker who was privately educated at Dulwich college and became a commodities trader. You're right he is a populist - and just like Jeremy Corbyn (another populist) Farage has a very loyal support base... its also quite a narrow support base and Reform is unlikely to get more than about 2-3 seats at best. Also like other populists - Corbyn, Johnson & Truss... he's good at winning elections but pretty terrible at actually managing anything. Farage is anti-authority.... would not be good in a position of authority as then he'd be the one accountable.
@@WH-hi5ew yes, all of that is true.But what about Rory Stewart. I am very suspicious of how he managed to briefly hold the positions which he held. From tutoring William and Harry to governor of somewhere in Iraq. His background is highly Establishment. How did he get the jobs which he briefly held? At least Farage has made his own way .
@@erongi233 Everyone has to make their own way. Both Stewart and Farage come from privately educated backgrounds of relative privilege. I'd suggest Stewarts breadth of life experience would be a good thing for politicians to have... nowadays they seem to be nothing but career politicians. In that respect both Farage and Stewart have both done other things in life first. Personally I find Farage to be a bit of a chancer.... though I do agree with his position on Ukraine i.e. that had we left a buffer zone between West and Russia there is a good chance Russia would not have invaded Ukraine. John Mearshiemer also says the same thing.
@@WH-hi5ew there is a world of difference about being the son of a stockbroker and being the son of no 2 in the security services. Also I know someone who was involved with William and Harry.

Not who have made it a highly privileged feudal way.

The title is a tad click-baity.
It's not misrepresenting him, so it's OK, IMO.
@howtoappearincompletely9739 He mostly seemed to be talking about a potential cross party arrangement from what I could see, whereas the title reads like he wants to join Labour.
Vote Labour 🌹
He should pull off the sticking plaster and join Labour. None of this cross party stuff.
Politics is about leaving the world a better place. Just as the child said!
A thoughtful and capable man, I would like to see him working for a Starmer Labour Government on something he is passionate about.
So let's abolish this strange world.
Quality guy. Please can we see him back in politics and restoring leadership and dignity to our democracy?
I have long admired this person's knowledge, integrity and problem-solving ability. To me he is the ideal politician but in today's Government, of whatever stripe, he has no chance of being allowed to make a real difference, sadly. Today's politicians are much more interested in seeming to do something useful than in actually doing it.
Labour under Starmer are Tories with a red rosette so lots of other wet Tories could serve in a Labour government.
The only politician I've truly liked in my lifetime.
How man current MP's would do as he did when he took the prison portfolio and said he would step down in a year if there was no improvement in violence numbers.
He should of joined a Better party
Well you couldn't find a more Conservative party than Labour mate.
One of the very few descent former Tories. So much better and a world away from Johnson and Truss.
Rory is the only conservative I truly like. I would love to see him join Labour, especially after hearing his journey across the world and him wanting to find different viewpoints of the people etc.
As there is no difference between the two main parties why don't they just work together for the good of the country and MPS be able to have free votes on every matter.
I think he is very correct about trust in democracy. We need more devolution even within the party system. Even with Labour you know there are left leaning candidates who want more tax and spend but have been told to keep a lid on it by the party lead. The idea you can have a party with diverse opinion is just history today, you follow the party line or you are out. Liz Truss is a perfect example of what you get, a career politician who believes in nothing practical, with no interest in doing a good job
Trusses only objective in life was to become PM and she achieved that…who ever thought she was a serious politician must be mad…she was a careerist…pure and simple… and she just so happened to be in politics

Not really, he is conservative with a small 'c' through and through it's just that the Conservative party isn't anymore.
