Did you know only 13% of the voting public saw tax as the top priority. Yet the media covered it more than all other topics, this stagnant economy will be the fault of the media with it's obsession with not taxing the wealthy or assets. The NHS was 50% of voters top priority and was barely talked about, because you would have to objectively state that labour the last time in government were not just better on the NHS they were miles ahead. And in a "unbiased" media landscape rather than a truthful one, this is what you end up with. Edit : The percentage for voter priorities is from a Yougov top issues poll and the media bias study is from Loughborough University. The person claiming they found no reference to it in the comments, obviously didn't look in the first place.
It's not _vague,_ it's essentially a list. And each one in that list has then to be carefully constructed in somewhat legalistic language, amended, reported and ping-ponged back and forth between the two Houses before becoming an Act. Did you expect that a final polished version of each Bill was going to be detailed in a (relatively) short speech? Where have you been for the last few monarch's speeches?
Where have YOU been for the past 5 years? Starmer doesn't have an honest bone in his body. Google his U-turns if you want to see what he does with explicit promises. If you think he's going to do any better with vague gestures towards 'growth' then you are in for a shock. The era of performance politics is far from over.

Find it worrying that they want to build 1.5 million dwellings in 5 years (not a chance they will). But doesn’t this go against wanting to be net zero and do better for our environment? Where does it end, how many fields will be lost for all of these dwellings. Not to mention the added strain for more energy without the answers for that too also. Its all a great thought, but in reality I really don’t think the bigger picture is being seen by the government
Only about 8 percent of the UK is developed for citys, towns, villages, roads and motorways. I think we can use a couple more percent. The people that buy the new houses will be people currently living with there parents. They still use up local resources like doctors and power because they already exist. The fact they have the chance to own theire own home makes them happy and raises more money for the council via extra council tax income which can be used to improve the local services without adding extra strain.
But doesn’t 40% of all new dwellings built go to housing by law? To think of 1.5 million homes built and the infrastructure needed to support those homes alone on top of the struggles we already have with numerous things, I just don’t see where it stops as such. I’m all for first time buyers and younger people catching a break as I have children. I’m just not fully convinced on the bigger picture.
@@DatDirtyDogOnly a fraction of the people who buy the new homes will be living with their parents. Many will be people currently renting or (unless legislation prevents it) current home owners.

@@RobinHarris-nf4yv Despite some of those ideas having limited impact for a few people, the policies are mostly managerial. They pick at he scab without treating the festering wound beneath. The failure to tackle the fundamental flaws in the UK economy is almost inevitable given that Labour has tied its own hands re a progressive re-balancing of society. The rebuilding of the social state with functioning infrstructure is left to crossed fingers and a prayer for growth, instead of a radical 21st century industrial policy, delivering a reevaluation of modern work, the role of increasing tech and changes in the production of value. The elimination of income and asset inequality leaves the LP accepting and sustaining the model that we have seen fail again and again over the last 40 years. A 20th century model. They will leave the ground open to populists on the right, who will slot in nicely. As to addressing the climate catastrophe coming down the line....
So, you all listen to a guy with a fancy hat, was never elected, and provided taxpayer money to provide a speech he never wrote. How quaint. And you wonder why Brexit happened? It’s the 21st century. Let the world know when you arrive.
Charging VAT on private school fees is problematic. Firstly a number are special needs schools will be caught unless exceptions are made and so far Labour is not willing to make exceptions. Second parents who are on the edge of affordability will take pupils out of private schools and back into the state system; losing VAT on one end and costing more on the other. Third the extra 6,000 teachers Labour plans to recruit using the VAT charged works out one extra day of teacher per week per school; the benefit will hardly touch the sides. Fourth when this has been looked at in the past by Labour there was a human rights law problem in charging VAT on school fees and so it was shelved. We can expect this to be resurrected by the schools and It will be interesting to see how that is navigated. Fifth - not sure if the EU will be happy with this given EU VAT law and Labour's desire to cosy up to the EU. This is not a straightforward one for Labour to implement and was always red meat to the left. I suspect there may be yet another U turn from Sir Keir who lets face it flip flops on everything.

Meals without service doesnt make the parliament popular, still it was predictable with only 15 knights of the round table that they elect a spokesperson to represent the other 40 odd counties.
From Canada, the King seemed to lift these estimates off the page more convincingly than last time (when 'Rwanda' barely escaped his lips).
It's because everyone, including Charlie, knew Rwanda was complete BS.
Don't journalists realise that the King's Speech is a broad outline of legislation, it would have been absurd if there were details.😂
Ha ha ha... Very true... " WOT, NO DETAILS ? "... as Chad would say...
I assume that before filming me within the privacy of our home that you were all advised that I was sexually assaulted by undercover police / chis more than once in Plymouth. Or perhaps you were given a slightly distorted version of reality. Either way, you should not have filmed and then broadcast without my knowledge / consent. Article 8 ECHR.
I am amazed that giving 16 year olds the vote wasn't a priority. It's almost as if there won't be another election for another five years, so it wasn't seen as urgent.
It is especially not urgent to change anything about how voting is handled when you have a landslide victory in seat count with only a small percentage of the vote...
I think that if you're not in education and your not retired and you're not so well off that none of this matters to you... Basically if you're a normal working Brit whos just trying to keep this country going... You will probably like this speech, and you probably wont if you're any of the other things
0:15 And the green energy investment plans!!??
Still waters run much deeper than what people consciously think, James, though I agree, personal agency has to be respected...YW...
Find it worrying that they want to build 1.5 million dwellings in 5 years (not a chance they will). But doesn’t this go against wanting to be net zero and do better for our environment? Where does it end, how many fields will be lost for all of these dwellings. Not to mention the added strain for more energy without the answers for that too also. Its all a great thought, but in reality I really don’t think the bigger picture is being seen by the government
Only about 8 percent of the UK is developed for citys, towns, villages, roads and motorways. I think we can use a couple more percent. The people that buy the new houses will be people currently living with there parents. They still use up local resources like doctors and power because they already exist. The fact they have the chance to own theire own home makes them happy and raises more money for the council via extra council tax income which can be used to improve the local services without adding extra strain.
But doesn’t 40% of all new dwellings built go to housing by law? To think of 1.5 million homes built and the infrastructure needed to support those homes alone on top of the struggles we already have with numerous things, I just don’t see where it stops as such. I’m all for first time buyers and younger people catching a break as I have children. I’m just not fully convinced on the bigger picture.
@@DatDirtyDogOnly a fraction of the people who buy the new homes will be living with their parents. Many will be people currently renting or (unless legislation prevents it) current home owners.
How will they find the ‘builders’. James, mate. There is a world of difference between getting a bedroom plastered and arguing about how much it costs, and a contract to plaster a whole estate.
They found them pretty easily in the 50s
@@matthewv4170 No, they didn't - they just said you are a plasterer and learn on the fly. The plastering has reflected the quality of the workforce at that time. It is well known it was not the best quality, to say the least.
@@nothereandthereanywheretheir the best built houses in England mate
A bit vague, quite wishy-washy...sadly the perfect description of Starmers world view.
Not if you're a Gazan.
Which of these are Wishy washy, a bit vague:
end fire rehire
end zero hour contracts
repeal anti union laws
reform planning
nationalise railways
VAT on private school fees
Etc
Etc
@@RobinHarris-nf4yv Despite some of those ideas having limited impact for a few people, the policies are mostly managerial. They pick at he scab without treating the festering wound beneath. The failure to tackle the fundamental flaws in the UK economy is almost inevitable given that Labour has tied its own hands re a progressive re-balancing of society. The rebuilding of the social state with functioning infrstructure is left to crossed fingers and a prayer for growth, instead of a radical 21st century industrial policy, delivering a reevaluation of modern work, the role of increasing tech and changes in the production of value. The elimination of income and asset inequality leaves the LP accepting and sustaining the model that we have seen fail again and again over the last 40 years. A 20th century model. They will leave the ground open to populists on the right, who will slot in nicely. As to addressing the climate catastrophe coming down the line....
Disappointed that Starmer did not promise all adults a cadburys cream egg..😅
I appreciate these guys are jaded, but they project such a conceited attitude.
I'd click on a conversation about earthworms if Natasha was talking
Get used to hearing a lot of Tory bias masquerading as journalism, then. She’s grooming herself to take over from Kuenssburg.
There's nothing more important than the earthworm. Is a song from the 70s
If the King announced he was disbanding the entire Royal family and giving back every penny they pilfered over the last 1000 years?
Houses or ''studios'' (bedsits)??
Please tell your correspondent that create is not pronounced crate
So, you all listen to a guy with a fancy hat, was never elected, and provided taxpayer money to provide a speech he never wrote. How quaint. And you wonder why Brexit happened? It’s the 21st century. Let the world know when you arrive.
Charging VAT on private school fees is problematic. Firstly a number are special needs schools will be caught unless exceptions are made and so far Labour is not willing to make exceptions. Second parents who are on the edge of affordability will take pupils out of private schools and back into the state system; losing VAT on one end and costing more on the other. Third the extra 6,000 teachers Labour plans to recruit using the VAT charged works out one extra day of teacher per week per school; the benefit will hardly touch the sides. Fourth when this has been looked at in the past by Labour there was a human rights law problem in charging VAT on school fees and so it was shelved. We can expect this to be resurrected by the schools and It will be interesting to see how that is navigated. Fifth - not sure if the EU will be happy with this given EU VAT law and Labour's desire to cosy up to the EU. This is not a straightforward one for Labour to implement and was always red meat to the left. I suspect there may be yet another U turn from Sir Keir who lets face it flip flops on everything.
On the plus side, those choosing to send their kids to private school will pay the proper market price?
@@richardvitty1745 They already do
Yeah, maybe some issues and thats why bills go through debates and amendments.
Growth growth growth, yay lets build on green belt land 😂
Have you two ever listened to the State Opening of Parliament before? Seems not. You appear to think it's King Charles job to spell out every policy in minute and precise detail.

Yep. The grown ups are back with vague grown up policies.😀😀

Hardly value for money for the tax payer is it.
Looks like the 1600s....how many hospitaks can you buy wirh that throne. And we PAY for this?! Uk is a joke
And how much do you think a fancy seat made of gilded wood is worth, and if it would ever be possible to sell it? And how much would a President Lord Boris Johnson, Richard Branson or Elton John cost? Get real mate.
It certainly was under the tories. If you are not intelligent enough to understand what the monumental job the new government face, you really shouldn’t be commenting here. Go and educate yourself.
Of course it's vague and wishy washy, it's from Starmer
Look at the House of Commons website for the Briefing Note that will list in more specific details the Bills to be put before Parliament in the King's Speech. There's your detail.
What are your predictions for the next video?
Job loves cheap foreign labour. How about paying more money for uk construction workers instead
They're not employed by James O'Brien are they? So, what is your point? and is it actually addressing anything that will make a difference? If you are honest, you'd answer no.
Lots of pledges and no substance.
because every point needs to be debated and passed etc 🤷🏻♂️
@david He's pledging there will be substance in the near future.😊
No different than the tories then yeah.
At least he made it clear that the Government is 'His' Government.
I mean, yes, according to the British constitution, every government technically is merely a number of delegates approved and empowered by the King to act 'in his name', to run the country for him. It's been that way for hundreds of years.
@@thealmightyaku-4153 Yes indeed I recently discovered that through reading. Essentially, the House of Commons was a compromise by the Royal Family for the common masses to have electoral "representation". However, in reality the House of Saxe Coburg Gotha aka The Windsors run this country.
Just buy Bitcoin.
Boring boring what does
Not Sunak's wishy-washy but Starmer's flippy-floppy.
How government will stop long term European residence moving out from UK? And how they gonna stop money flying out of UK to the Europe continent ?
Vague and wishy-washy. Classic Labour, what else did you expect???

Yes we should, cry harder russian.
No rejoining the EU then. Or it’s institutions. 😢
No. We had a democratic vote less than a decade ago. Why would they just make us re-join?
You say that like it's as simple as flipping a switch. You think the EU are interested in having us come back when the only other party who gets into power are dead against it?
The question has to be politically settled before the EU will even allow an application. Pointless to put it in the speech even if they wanted to. It would just be making a promise they have no power to keep
Never on the cards
I don't think they would take us back. Some don't even want our tourism.
@@dwb1980 We had an advisory referendum with no parameters. Camaroon lost it and made the result compulsory then F* off. Russia report was never published because Tories wouldn't want the public to know about Kremlin interference. So not democratic.
What happens when the winds not blowing. were is the electricity coming from then?
Heard of batteries? In Australia the ACT is fully renewable and S Australia is 70% there, expecting 100% in a few years. This is despite a decade of conservative non-action.
Do you actually know anything about electric generation by wind or are you clueless. Scotland has the cheapest electric bills in EUROPE , because of their investments in green energy,hydro , wind and solar,do some research before posting BS.
Solar and Hydro power we've been producing in Scotland for years that way not that you'd see any benefit in Scotland from that we're still paying more for energy in Scotland even although we produce more than 100% of our national requirements.
@@hailstone2554 I beg to differ Scottish people pay more for electricity than people in England. Scotland creates cheap Electricity but does not benefit from the hundreds of wind generators that are an eyesore .
You ignore wave, solar, hydrothermal etc. Plus it is almost invariably windy _somewhere_ in the UK. And yes, it's not rocket science.
Kid Starver Starmer
The tories starved kids for 14 years, what exactly has starmer done to starve kids tory boy.
I like how James is actually being critical of Labour for once and not just blindly supporting Keir and his atrocious views.
Alot of young people voted reform plc.
How many? Facts please.
Yeah, because they’re as susceptible to conmen as the rest of us, just via different means. Let’s face it, the young have a right to be naive and impressionable. What’s your excuse for falling for their lies?

Sums up Labour

Not still clapping about their return?
@@dwb1980I am
This Labour. This Tories too. They are all just fronts for big business, our real overlords, or they aren't allowed into 'power'. Remember when Corbyn was leader and actually stood for things? He got torn apart by the lackeys of the corporations. Cause they recognised him as a real threat to their interests. So they had to make you believe he was a threat to your interests.
Yes, they are excellent
Growth is coming from increasing NHS waiting lists 😂
You been asleep for the last 14 years?
Ok 40 new hospitals everyone believed that one

The Kings speech is a bit wishy washy? I know it normally hammers out every detail and gives immense insight into the future. 😂😂😂 Come on James, although condescending your usually a bit sharper than that.
