'Two things' have gone wrong for Sunak, claims ex-Labour communications chief

- Lord Peter Mandelson, the former Labour communications chief and cabinet minister, has said two things are stopping the attempt by the Conservatives to get re-elected.
One is Rishi Sunak's failure to "repudiate" and reject Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, as that would have been needed to get "a hearing" from the public.
Secondly, Lord Mandelson says Mr Sunak is having to "constantly" outflank Reform UK on the right of the Tories, and that by appeasing and throwing red meat to Nigel Farage, he is only emboldening the former UKIP chief.

Sunak. Chancellor by default. Prime Minister by default. Complete and total amateur in politics
Interim manager basically
Homer Simpson and Rishi Sunak agree: Default are the two sweetest words in the English language!

What has gone wrong for the Tories is that people are directly experiencing the result of 14 years of Tory "government".
This
Thats what people said about the last Labour government before Conservatives came into power. In 4-8 years the country will have enough of Labour taxing working people and want an alternative. And the cycle continues
@@nimzgaz7049 not true - we had 1o years of economic growth under Labour, it was the world economic crash that brought Labour down.
@@markshirley01not true, we had an influx of EU cash, loans and subsidies on top of which Labour ran up unprecedented debt. "There's no money left..." note left on Chancellor's desk.
Yes it all started to go wrong when David Cameron allowed Osborne to implement Austerity.
Sunak struggled to grow the economy. He increased:
immigration, taxes, poverty, NHS waits, crime and unemployment.
He attacked the most vulnerable in our society: Sick and disable.
He has become the most unwanted entity in British politics.
To be fair it’s not all his fault, the previous 14 years have been a sh1t show, the country was also utterly devastated and ruined by thatcher and Blair
We can't blame all on Sunak they were PM before him and they didn't do anything for UK!
The problem is labour will bring the uk to the end
The uk will end up outside the G20 in the first 2 years of labour
@@goharikjones7387Sunak was Chancellor 😂😂
@@Stephanie-wf6xrThe biggest mistake was making immigrant Sunak PM.
Ritchie Sunak should never have been prime Minister of the UK.
A very slimy, loathesome, has-been publicity seeker. Blair’s partner in crime.
Mandleson a criminal who should be behind bars
Wrong choice of Convict. Farage commits Treason every day of his wretched existence
Who would have thought inviting millions more into the country but not building houses or improving doctors/dentists/hospitals/schools/infrastructure etc would have an impact on the population and make them slightly annoyed about being poorer....
More than two things have gone wrong for the Tories and even more has gone wrong for Britain.
Things went wrong for Britain 14 years ago!
@@garryrobson8058Exasperated by making an immigrant PM.
Yes the Brexit Referendum was a classic error and Cameron should have introduced safeguards to ensure that a narrow victory for Leave did not trigger a departure from the E U .
Two things have gone wrong for Sunak "everything he says and everything he does."
but he doesn't actually do anything.... says loads... not sure he realises he actually has to do stuff!
@@robtheplodThe biggest mistake was making immigrant Sunak PM.
Ya beat me to the punch line 🎉
650 MPs at Westminster, each on an average salary of 91,000+ a year 'plus' expenses and allowances. On retirement each MP can expect a pension of two thirds of their final salary, 60,000 minimum. Of those 650 MPs only 8 or so showed an interest in the commons debates on the excessive deaths of our people who continue to suffer and die as I type!
Is it wrong MP’s get a pension as well?
@@matthowardtv Their pension is adjusted to time served etc. Lets hope some our people live as long.
@@matthowardtv many if not all are career politicians and the uni-party arrangement ensures that they are either in power or opposition (paid) Yet our people continue to die!
Don't forget using taxpayer money to fund themselves and their mates!!
The game is up for Ritchie Sunak -
was he pretending all along....
He showed how weak he was at the start by putting Braverman back in her job and protecting her until he couldnt anymore
What did they expect - that his own kind - it’s called nepotism
By Corbyn and hard left? A little disingenuous.
Corbyn and the hard left who were happy losing the election and 'winning the debate' - whatever that means
the left cant exist, its a risk to the money for the rich
I am a Corbyn fan and think we would be in a better position if he had become Prime Minister because he genuinely cares about people and their challenges.
The same can't be said for the Tories and, in some instances, Keir Starmers Labour.
A candidate is standing in my constituency who ran the Tory MP close under Corbyn. He's back again and they're throwing everything at it. If the gap is narrow it's easier to close it. I suspect this will be the case in quite a few seats. Corbyn's defeat may have been a disaster in terms of seats but Labour still got more votes than they did under Blair - but no one says that.
@@LorraineTapper don't think too tribally. I think Boris and Rishi Sunak care more than Starmer. I don't see anyone in the shadow cabinet who I would trust.
Theirs been a hell of a lot more things gone wrong for ordinary people.
Only two things?
A few things have gone wrong with Mandelson,the first being,he was born
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My prediction for the election is record spoiled ballets
Uhm BALLOTS I think it's spelt
"We had to put our foot on the economic accelerate" IE we sold off all the public assets, borrowed billions and printed billions more and then stole our money to bail out billionaire bankers.
Total borrowing was around 250 billion and 200 of that was for the banking bailout
Since 2010 the Tories have borrowed 1.6 Trillion
Our GDP per capita is now smaller than it was in 2010 by 10%
Interesting that we had to bail out the Royal Bank of Scotland after they bought the failing ABN Amro - a deal which Rishi made millions from - he clearly has form.
Sunak only screws up on two occasions: day and night.
Only *one* thing went wrong for Sunak - he was put into the PM job by a party that, having ignored the electorate for years, then ignored their own membership. Which begs the question - if not the electorate and not the membership, whose instructions are they following?
Their own
Their own membership is one of the biggest problems - they made Truss their leader for example when everybody else knew she'd be a disaster.
"Sky dishy Rishi"was his school nickname.
Easy - the Tories forgot what the public voted for and Sunak became leader. After being Tory all my life, they’ve lost my vote. Labour is equally as bad and any victory they have will because the Tories are so bad, not because they have anything other than offer. It’s Reform for me.
Remember Covid, it broke up the dynamism of Johnson’s tenure completely
@@matthowardtv Dynamism! 🤣
As soon as Johnson won the election, they were trying to undermine and replace him. They haven’t been united since Cameron had the EU referendum and they all thought they knew better than the people.
Peter Mandelson was one of the most odious, vomit inducing, political players for decades.
Part of our problem in the UK is that we've become convinced politics can't change anything. This isn't an accident. The Right will destroy as much as they can when in office...and then say 'we can't afford to put it right.' Liberals, the left and the centre will say, 'we can't afford to put it right.' We end up changing very little and doing the Right's job for it. No wonder people feel disillusioned with politics and convinced nothing will, or can, ever change. Politics is about the art of the possible, positively changing society and changing it for the better or it is nothing.
Brilliantly put Stephen. We do have a major problem in the UK with money, or the lack of being able to make any I should say. We have done for a great number of years now. we've depended largely on the ability to attract others that want us to handle there money and not much else as an income. Namely the banking sector.
We don't really have anything else left to offer the world in trade and what good trade we did have we've thrown away a la Brexit. Somehow we have to find something that we excel at that isn't banking based to make an income and when and if we do, we then have to keep it! Both of which wont be easy unless we have a government that thinks decades ahead, rather than just five.
The right used to be the change makers. Just look at Thatcher. It was the left that used to be more "conservative" i.e. a desire to preserve the old industrial economy come what may. The trade unions are still pretty conservative animals. They hate innovation if it means working practices changing. Just look at the railways. The problem for the modern right is that it's become very pensioner focused. This is not how it used to be. Thatcher never overly relied on old voters. Lots of younger people backed the Tories back then. We will have to see what Starmer does in power. His voter support will be much younger so that gives him an opportunity. The defining feature of modern Britain is our ageing society. It's not really surprising that an ageing society is less supportive of change.
Mandleson. With this snake in the grass loitering in the background is one reason I won't vote labour this time.
That an Corbyn would be PM were it not for Starmer sabotage with 2nd Brexit referendum.
Yep
His policies .
His personality .
Opinion polls show the majority of pensioners will vote Tory or Reform. So Labour have an opportunity to scrap the triple lock on state pensions. That would save many billions that can be reallocated to supporting working people. More money for the NHS etc... But will Labour be brave enough to do it?
Good demographics for a second term vote count then😖
Agree one was when he got an MPs job. And the other when he was Created from withing as PM. There are other reasons he Failed the Tory Party Leaders and the Civil Service pulling the Strings. Onl thing in his favour was his Dad wasnt a Toolmaker.
Wouldn't believe a word this snake comes out with
The old Prince of darkness gets dragged into shows a lot these days.....Must have factor 5000 sunscreen on..
😂😂😂
Opportunity for a complete change in our elite politicians. We need to vote in Independents, people from our own communities who understand the needs and are not in it for themselves. Labour is Conservative, no longer that party it used to be. Vote independents
Two things have gone wrong: Everything he said and everything he did.
why are we listening to bliar puppet master
One thing is for sure, when the capitalist masquerading as a class warrior Mandelson and his gang of gangsters ran the show, things did get better: for him and the rest of his hypocrites not the rest of us.
La Hasta la vista baby
The main thing that went wrong was his father didn’t use birth control!
Definitely
Have they dug this creep up again !
Mandelson talks a lot of sense, without the hyperbole.
It's a shame the interviewer tried to talk over him to defend the Tories.
Labour in 2017 got over 40% of the vote, in 2019 they got about 31% more than Brown and Miliband who were more right wing. Exactly, the other reason Labour are ahead is due to Conservatives becoming unpopular after Boris' lockdown parties, then the Liz Truss budget then lack of any significant change over Rishi, Brexit whilst 'hidden' has also hit the economy and inflation. Pretty much any leader right or left would be ahead now on the Conservatives including Corbyn and Michael Foot many are now backing the Greens instead of Labour, and some going to Reform like UKIP also helping Labour. Mandelson said he fought against Corbyn he openly admitted it and was surprised about the 2017 election.

i dont think" morgage Mandelson " should criticise anyone after his stint putting his hand in the till.
Is Mandy in the home he took that 'loan' on ?
equally as important, does he still own the belt that was bought when he went shopping with his buddy jeffrey epstein?
I remember Brown saying he had ended the boom-bust cycle.
He made it bust-bust.
Seeing him just reminds me how lightweight 95% of both Labour & Tories are. I never voted for Blair but at least he was a heavyweight as was half his cabinet. Starmer/rayner/reeves/sunak..?! Lightweights
He's a war criminal
Those two things: Everything and anything…
I loved the Mandelson parody from "Weekending" in the 80's Sinister Without Portfolio.
Oh my God. The anti - Christ is being interviewed.
Two things only? This guy just landed from Mars.
Starmer is doing well because the Tories are such a shower of vomit right at this moment.
Wait, that's not Johnathan pie
Only two? Is idiotic incompetency one of them?
Just two?!
They haven't helped themselves by making a case for "the parliamentary system" to explain truss and sunak -- and now ask us to "vote for the leader"
I miss such a well spoken man like Mr Mandelson, a very smart man
The point on Sunak Vs Johnson, Truss and Nigel Farage as argued by Mandelson to me deserved a follow up question because I think it is one major mistake by Sunak. But then, does he have the 'balls' to take on them three? He couldn't even get an apology from Anderson.
Is it just me that thinks Douglas Ross is bailing out of the Scottish Parliament for Westminster as he probably fancies his chances for the main Tory leadership in a year or so's time?
The Mandelson fella, he's the eptine friend right, the guy that frequented the Epstine shag Island ??????? hmmmmm
Yes he was still in contact with Epstein the week he died 😮
Are the two things "everyone" and "everything"?
Only two things gone wrong. Hang on while I get my calculater .
This presenter is the reason why I never watch Sky News on Sunday mornings, he’s just so smug
Captain Flipflop got lucky. Sunak is a weak leader is all. Vote Reform
Should of retired years ago along with Campbell
Oh come on. Everyone knows that what Ed says is Balls!
This is a very interesting interview, but misleading as regards to Starmer having "stood up to" the left wing of his party. He may have made some progress since becoming leader - though certain backbenchers remain, including one who openly called for the lynching of a female opponent and had a commemorative plaque to a terrorist who burned a Belfast shop worker alive on his office wall - but it is easy to kick people when they are down. The central issue for me is why Starmer supported such people when they were in the ascendent, and he was in the shadow cabinet. He openly denied that there was an antisemitism problem in the party, even as his own Jewish colleagues left because of it, only to later suddenly declare that there was indeed such a problem, but that the best way of countering it was to elect the "lifelong anti-racist" Corbyn as Prime Minister, even though Corbyn's leadership was the problem's cause. I understand that political parties are factional and it can be hard to take on the dominant group(s) at any given time, but the cowardly behaviour of the moderates, including Starmer, in having completely capitulated to Corbyn makes me wonder what they will be like when faced with characters like Trump and Putin. If on the other hand, as Mandelson has previously suggested, Starmer went along with Corbyn just in order to trick the far left majority in Labour into later voting for him as leader, this suggests dishonesty, which may be handy in politics, but is not an attractive character trait, and does not bode well for how he will run the country.
Labour in 2017 got over 40% of the vote, in 2019 they got about 31% more than Brown and Miliband who were more right wing.

@@JamJam0189 I don't see what any of that has to do with what I said.
The problem with Starmer is that there is a lie for everybody which exposes him as a liar but it also means people can choose which lie they want to believe which helps him.
@@simonzonenblick395 it's all part of the debate
Why are Epstein’s buddies still allowed on TV?
More than two
Only two?
His birth, running out on D Day, and that interview about not having Sky.
I said back in 2015 that Starmer would be the next Labour PM. Wish I put some money on it. 😢
I know these people complaining about Rishi will soon be doing same for whoever is elected wait and see
Oh no, not Lord Mandy again!
I still think there is something way bigger for him to call an election almost half a year in advance than just because the inflation numbers are going down. If the numbers are trending, why the hurry? There was enough time to strategise, regroup the party's candidacy in 6 months than a month the time he called it. My best guess would be Rwanda.
Look up Sue Grays sh1t list in which she goes through the possible problems upcoming.
1 big one is Thames water going bankrupt another is inflation going back up
Apparently he is getting a job with Elon musk
And who’s going to listen to the prince of darkness!!
Good grief!!! we can't be asking the opinion of THE SLITHERING. Is there anyone lower than he?
Starmer is like Attlee, not flashy but very good at his job.
The position Labour was after the last election, Labour was so far behind, he turned Labour around into a party that can win 450+m seats.
There must be something he has done good for Labour and it not all Tories own goals.
Were those two things Boris Johnson and Liz truss by any chance?
Why hasn't this guy been arrested for war crimes?
Only two?????????
The main thing in modern democracy. After resignation, the government is not responsible for what it did when it was in office. Therefore, they are not afraid to do the most terrible things.
"Two"......? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why is Peter Mandelson getting airtime. He should be banned from tv, radio and newsprint. He needs to just go away for good.
The more important question to really ask is what exactly has gone right for Sunak to begin with.
To use a military expression one move a thousand fcuk ups
Is this a joke guest?
Mandelson was once seen attending a Bilderberg Group conference during the first series of New Labour years and when asked by an independent documentary maker showed contempt for the people.
Only two? He has to be joking.
Does a Labour government mean he will have to listen to this grifter again? God help us
' what people want to hear' How do we know?
Two?????
Sunak is so out out date he has both eye balls in one socket
Those “two things being”: everything he thinks and everything he says
The Tories could do with a Lord Mandy to reform them.
More than two things could go wrong
Epstein
Only 2?
Only 2 ?????
Pure evil mandelson
If Starmer had any creditability he would have a televised debate with Farage.
Why? His party only has 1 MP and even he wasn't voted in under the Reform banner.
Mendle man is a complete waste of space
Come on, like it's anything Starmer has done.
Just two things !!! ???...
And I should trust the "éminence grise" of New Labour because...?
If Reform can take the Red wall and Tories hold their safe seats it’s a coalition that can bring the country a safe future!
