- BREAKING NEWS: STARMER SCRAPPED THE RWANDA POLICY ON FRIDAY EVENING!!!!
The first Truth To Power video under a Labour government. I’m sure you’ve watched and listened to endless stuff about how the election played out, so in this video, I’ll instead be giving a quick send off to the Tories with a summary of their 14 years of misrule, and a quick welcome to the Labour government with suggestions for their priorities for their first few months in office.
I appreciate all of you who share my videos with friends and social media. Together, let's help bring this extreme right wing government to an end.
Unlike those weird new right wing TV "news" channels and ultra right wing "think tanks" that are always on mainstream telly, Truth To Power receives no hidden funding. Or any funding, come to that, except CZcams partner programme advertising revenue, and CZcams $uperthanks donations from viewers.
As well as sharing the videos on social media and with your friends, hitting the Like button and subscribing to the channel is also really helpful, as it tells CZcams to offer these videos to a wider audience.

The Tories need to know that there are consequences for robbing the country blind, so I really hope we see some convictions for the PPE VIP lane fraud at the very least.
Mone and hubby will be s******g themselves.
Consequences? They are laughing all the way to the bank. They will be off jet-setting the world or sailing their expensive yacht in some tropical paradise. Did you see Mogg after he lost he was almost laughing :)
There's a pub landlord in the mix of that one!
I'm afraid they'll be taking long holidays aboard on the way they'll drop their phones in various lakes, river ,etc. Just look at recent enquiries.
Absolutely spot on
1% has A QUARTER of the national wealth? That’s beyond outrage.
I gues your monarchs belong to that 1% too.
The fight isn’t over until we are back in Europe and our Human Rights guaranteed.
That, I'm afraid, is not going to be plain sailing (back in Europe) Apparently we will have to start from scratch.
@@dappergent9422 Then, that's what we will do. If Ukraine are going to join at some point, we should be able to.
Labour has done the right thing by removing the Rwanda policy and by doing so, took the foul breath of the fascist parties Tory and Deform away.
Please don't stop now we have a labour government. The Legacy media will continue to bat for the right lies. I value the truth
❤❤❤
We have that in the States. It's like the Right's in charge even though we have a Democrat in office. We don't even have a choice when it comes to Party. Forget it.
We only have a Labour government by name; in reality they are Tories MK2 being led by Tory-Starmer; therefore it's a victory for the Tories.
From small acorns, great oaks grow.
Not only are children stunted by poor diet, but their life expectancy has shrunk too. 😩😡🤬
Shame starmer kept the child benefit cap 😒
Hi rchas - exactly and a child obesity epidemic at the same time. Expect climate floods and to have no water. We need mass immigration but robots and AI are going to take all our jobs away. If your brain questions any of that then you ain't a Leftie.
The country can’t afford to pay them a pension if they live for too ling
@@jake751serves them right for not choosing better parents.
@@saabsonsan the country can't afford a declining fertility rate with an aging population. Encouraging people to reproduce and helping those children to thrive is actually an investment in the future of our economy, so maintaining this cap is just stupid.
They were only ever concerned about their own taxes and the benefits of offshore tax havens. They encouraged a form of capitalism that harvested wealth and created none. Brexit deregulation was their biggest enabler.
Couldn't agree more
Spot on
If you promote a clown to prime minister, you end up with a circus.
My priority would be to send the Reform Party and all the sad racists who voted for them to Rwanda
I agree labour need to squash farage toxic ideology so they can go on and repair the country and fix Brexit (rejoin single market and customs union)
I heard someone who said they'd vote for Corbyn, but they voted for reform because 1. they weren't in islington north 2. they didn't have anyone else who was "local"
The reform candidate here was.. Not even local, on top of that the reform campaign leaflet we got was of the candidate across from us as well. Hardly a vote winner if you can't send the right campaign leaflet!
@@alice1374 why, why did you vote reform? They are just as bad as the conservatives right branch from the conservatives far right extremists, if you want the country to go forward, you have to vote for liberal parties. Think about Liberal Democrats the Green part independent fraud isn't the answer. He is the man that brought us Brexit that took away our freedoms and made us all poorer. he is pure toxic. On the other hand out, he did help to destroy the Conservatives
Immigration is out of control and visibly destroying our infrastructure on many many levels
Like it or lump it ! It is a fact and needs dealt with .
How many just eat cyclists or football match stewards do we need ?
Excellent idea. Maybe they could take Ms Braverman with them.
Absolutely spot on! Thank you for all your work in highlighting all the failures and corruption of the tories.
Red or blue
Don't get too excited considering that Tories MK1 has been replaced with Tories MK2 and Tory-Starmer.
Yes Gove must be jailed. A great list of priorities which I agree with 100 poercent.
There needs to be a Covid audit and prosecutions for the profiteers. I’d also suggest and enquiry into Brexit, with prosecutions.
Glad the channel is continuing.
Completely agree Rachel Reese will set up a hit squad as she puts it on Covid but I think we will have to push them on investigating Brexit as there is likely a national security risk as they were outside influences but I'm with you. We cannot repair our country if we do not rejoin, the single market and customers union they need to do this or they were not getting enough economic growth
Problem is that is that there are too many challenges ahead for Labour to spend time looking in the rear view mirror. Sure the nasty party should be held to account, they have been booted out. Public enquiries costs millions and will achieve nothing
21st Century Country, under a 16th Century system.
Britain is now in such a poor state, it would take a generation to repair. The wealth that has been lost due to Tory asset stripping and the massive rise in national debt, the best the British can hope for is damage limitation in the next few parliamentary terms. I would suggest Labour drop their "make Brexit work" fantasy. Until then, I'm taking my life savings and getting out, son has already gone. Might as well get used to the reality if you're staying put in Brexit Britain where companies are no longer investing. The wish list sounds like desperation, sorry to say, but you cannot take a wrecking ball to your economy and there be no long lasting consequences. The embarrasing debacle of the British people voting for 'Blame the Scapegoat' parties suggests that there is little hope for this failed state.
What a Labour Government would not have proposed. The Brexit Advisory Referendum.
Just to save it's political party
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Starmer cancelled the Rwanda scam on Friday night. Whether we can get back any of the over £300 million that the Tories wasted on it is a moot point, but at least not a penny more will be sent there.
I , here in Canada, feel the same sense of relief and frank joy which I felt when there was a change of guard in the USA. It is remarkable how much cruel , dishonest and grifting people can affect you even from an outside view.
BIG challenge now Rob. Scrutinise the new guys and hold them to account as you have been doing with the Tories.....please!
😂😂😂
He'll have an easy job. I don't think Labour will make our children shorter, like the Tories did.
@@sirbasilflapjack671 They are shrinking due to global boiling.
Just about nailed it. The only other priority I would include is getting those water co's to clean up our rivers...at their expense!
Good to hear you've decided to continue with your channel
I can't tell you how pleased I am you've decided to keep Truth To Power going Rob - your voice is important, keep on keeping on, and thanks.
Clara, you're too kind - thank you so much for your support, it is so appreciated. Bet you're loving the new attorney general? Looks like a really good appointment, relating to the Gaza situation?
@@TruthToPower You're welcome Rob. His stand against Gove's anti-BDS bill was welcome, as is his recognition of the importance of international courts. I just hope the Israel lobby money doesn't mean Labour continue as they have to date, I must admit Starmer's track record to date doesn't make me hopeful.
Totally agree with your list of "musts"
Abolish the House of Lords. Lower the voting age to 16 years of age. Make the NHS the top priority - let the health of the NHS be the criterion by which this government will be judged five years hence. Abolish the anti-democratic identification barriers imposed by the Tories when attempting to cast your vote. Outlaw opinion polls three weeks before an election date. Abolish the class-ridden honours system; who needs Lords?
The House of Lords serves a purpose, ours e.g. serves as the seat of the Bundesrat since the year 2000.
I'm so glad that you are going to continue. We need clear eyed commentary from independents like yourself. We need to be as critical of Starmer's crew, as we were about The Tories.
I think the main priority for Labour is... FFS don't be like the Tory's!
Perfect!
In fact it’s SO perfect it’s off the scale!!
Don’t you dare stop Rob x
Thank youfor your summary of Tory rule. I had not realised HOW BAD it actually was!!! SHAME on them!!!! SHAME on them!!!
Why don't you just give Starmer a break instead of "hes not the tories". Let's see what he does, I'm sick of the last negativity brought on in the last 14 years. Can we do that?
Meh, tbf we’re used to the moaning 🤔😉😂
Exactly, without Starmer we would probably have another Concervative government.
Starmer has performed a miracle to get from where labour was when he became leader, to a majority government.
He did and said what was necessary to achieve that end, let's not criticise him for 'how' he achieved it, let's be glad with the result.
Whatever happens going forward, remember to compare it to what would be happening if the conservatives were still in power.
@@geoffpegler4506 Well said
@@geoffpegler4506Under Tory-Starmer there is no Labour government; they are Tories MK2.
@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO It's because of people like you that our country is broken.
It's because of people like you that our country has almost been totally destroyed.
It's because of people like you that we are rapidly loosing our NHS.
It's because of people like you that we have a massive poverty issue.
It's because of people like you that we no longer have a manufacturing based economy.
It's because of people like you that we had the worst covid responce with the most deaths of any major country.
It's because of people like you that we have a severe cost of living crisis.
It's because of people like you that the world looks down on us and can no longer trust us.
You know the UK is broken and bleeding to death, and yet you still try to stir the poo and shovel your pathetic attempt at missinformation.
If you want to know the real person responsible for the dire state of the UK look in the mirror.
Thanks, Rob. Always appreciate your candour and insight.
Thank you so much for those kind words, Michael. Your support is much appreciated.
So glad Truth to Power will keep on going. We always need to keep an eye on government. Hurrah for Rob! 🎉
AGREE
Look at the Cabinet - No toffs, no racists - just good competent people. They will transform Brtain!
No toffs?. You are joking!
Great video Rob.
As you articulate clearly there is so much to be done and undone. The Herculean task of cleaning the Aegean stables begins now. Many of those who caused the mess are no more, though there remain a few incompetent, incontinent assholes who thrive on laxatives.
Keep going, Rob, you are doing a great job in keeping us informed of the truth.
So much to fix, but right off the bat we should immediately nationalise
1. Rail
2. Water Utilities
3. Electricity & Gas
I can see your point but have you considered the cost - we need growth back.
@@billywiz1307 There is not cost if government issues bonds to previous owners that pay interest for say 20 years
@@billywiz1307 No worries. Rail is being taken back for free as each contract comes up for renewal (and those which go bankrupt). New UK power company will be set up in direct competition to foreign/shareholder owned ones (playing them at their own game). And the plan for water is to hold them to account and fine them out of existance, then buy it up for a song :)
@@richardh8082 Yes. Over a reasonable amount of time. Patience folks
@@richardh8082 👏👏👏👍
Agreed. All of these reforms are long-overdue, and worsened by 14 years of Tory plunder - the only term that describes the harm they inflicted on everyone. However, Labour will have a difficult time tackling them all at once. But it does not mean that this new government can't bring about some small steps to help alleviate the worst effects of Tory misrule.
Accountability in politics must happen, ... How Johnson is a walking free man is beyond me !! Non stick responsibility has to 🛑 stop!!!!
Welcome back on the european stage, my friends!
Who knows what happens from this point forward but at least today is a great day
I'm lucky enough to have retired early and am in the process of taking my campervan round the Baltic. The degree to which we've become the poor man / woman of Europe is really stark
What matters is democracy and we can vote out the government. Also if I want to call the PM an idiot I don’t end up in a gulag.
Absolutely! It can't be much colder in Siberia than it's been here though, lol. ;)
I agree with all of this Rob - you're a man after my own heart!
Hey there! Just wanted to say thanks for always being honest and making sure the government is held accountable. Keep up the good work!
Good Morning Rob, a Labour Government at last, mind they've so much to do we must not expect too much too quickly, but I have a new spring in my step and at 77 I damn well need it. Thanks for all your efforts over the dark Years of those tory governments.
Tory-Starmer's government Labour? 🤣; they have so much more in common with David Cameron than Corbyn.
To not expect things right a way, but to expect changes going into a direction.
I’m glad the Tories have been thrown out but our electorate gave 100 second places to Farage’s company Reform UK. 4 million votes that is frightening. Good luck to Labour and a good presentation from you.
Why is that frightening? Interpret it as a clear signal that they did not want to give the Conservatives their vote and also didn’t trust Labour. Why doomsday painting to the tune of having millions of brown shirts among the populous. Hanlon’s razor applies.
This is really scary and what the future we can’t look forward I’m on my way out but I have grandkids and I worry for their future
It's Reform that threw the Tories out, not Labour. Look at Labour's miserable vote share of 34%. And look at the many "small margins" gains by Labour: all a result of Tory voters defecting to Reform.
So Labour's "huge win" and Reform's 4 mln votes go together. Do you still like Labour's win?
Reform is based on populism. Populism thrives when people feel their lives are shit and there is little hope for improvement. The Labour government should prioritise improving people's lives. When the majority of people can feel their life is good, populism dies.
Thats a warning shot, do better or the next time it will be first places, (I voted Labour, and they won where I live).
Give them a chance! I'm waiting to see what they do as I feel the same about Starmer. He's started wel appointing 'experts' to Science, Prisons and Justice. People who are not Labour !
Spot on Rob! Had a fall out with my Tory supporting Aunt, after the election results, giving me the whole “they are all the same” bollox! 🤦🏼♂️
Brilliant, fingers crossed.
Good to know the channel is going to continue Rob. This is a polished and professional channel with well reasoned and presented content that does just what it says in the tin. Despite the change in govt. and the sense that whatever happens they cannot do any worse than the outgoing one, I still think this will be needed - sadly.
Thank you for all your efforts.
I thought that if it was 10x the labour food bank use it would be terrible. But 41k to 2.4 million food parcels is disgraceful.
Some of the politically ignorant in our society think the increase in food banks is a good thing and credit the Tories with them … that’s how broken we’ve become under the Tories
Glad you are continuing, Rob. One of the most poignant and articulate channels on TY. Personally, I'm in favour of taxing the income from wealth at the same rate as work income, as asset values vary and are harder to determine. Prof Richard Murphy makes such a recommendation.
I don't envy Mr Starmer in his new job.
Clement Attlee had a less difficult situation after WW2. At least Britain had factories and industries then.
And the biggest part of the Marshall Plan and on top of that the Anglo-American Loan.
The Anglo-American Loan Agreement was a loan made to the United Kingdom by the United States on 15 July 1946, enabling its economy after the Second World War to keep afloat. The loan was negotiated by British economist John Maynard Keynes and American diplomat William L. Clayton.
Problems arose on the American side, with many in Congress reluctant, and with sharp differences between the treasury and state departments. The loan was for US$3.75 billion (equivalent to $58.59 billion in 2023) at a low 2% interest rate; Canada loaned an additional US$1.9 billion (equivalent to $29.69 billion in 2023). The British economy in 1947 was hurt by a provision that called for convertibility into dollars of the wartime sterling balances the British had borrowed from India and others, but by 1948, the Marshall Plan included financial support that was not expected to be repaid. The entire loan was paid off in 2006, after it was extended six years.
Please do keep on.
And you end with a really good list. Yes, freeports need ending immediately.
As for my priority, it's independence from England, and a return to the EU for Scotland.
The dimwits up North just voted for a pro-union party. Unbelievable how so many Scots are so heavily influenced by English media
Tough then.
@@kirkhunter146 Independence will come. Good things are worth waiting for, and jettisoning English Tories is worth the wait.
Well done Brits! This tactical voting eliminated the biggest hurdle, the Tory Gouvernement. Now, it's time to reform the media control. Otherwise, they will still comment on their owners' instructions. Journalism should be the 4th column of democracy by REPORTING facts only and not planting their own opinions into people's minds. They should let the new gouvernement play the ball and not tackle at every step against the legs instead of the ball.
Best wishes from Germany.
Fully agree with this, the English media is utterly toxic. But Starmer will first need an evidence base in the form of Levenson 2, which he has said won't now happen.
Couldn't agree more! My thoughts exactkly. Games, distractions, enabling, divisions is all they are good for...ratings love that sort of thing. It's all about mind manipulation and i'm frankly sick of it!
Thank you 😊😊
Starmer will need at least ten years to improve things with the tories tearing themselves apart that's possible
Thanks Rob a great summary of the Tory disaster governments
Bravo!!!
Homelessness is the first thing we should fix
give them a chance to rake some money in from the rich first
No you are wrong, homelessness has many reasons & none of them can be fixed easily.
Starmer has appointed some people that actually know about the subject they have been asked to work on. Im hopeful.. Also stupid Rwanda thing gone.
Reverse academisation, take schools back under local authority control, scrap SATs and the pressurised, exam-focused curriculum, and denounce the authoritarianism and behaviourism that has taken over schools, where egotistical heads regard forcing 11 year olds to dress up like extras from Hogwarts and swelter in inappropriate clothing to be more important than allowing our children, particularly those with SEND, to flourish as individuals and develop into compassionate and openminded adults. Adolescent mental health is in crisis and the role of strict academies, which place more importance on nonsensical rules for their own sake and disproportionate penalties for pupils and parents alike, than the wellbeing of our next generation, are a major cause of this. Kids are not robots and schooling should not be about threatening impressionable minds into unthinking obedience through fear.
Scrap the two children cap, increase the tax band to lift people out of debt
Salut Rob, I also do not rate Starmer, he is not a class act by any means on a domestic political stage, and I seriously doubt his capabilities on the international stage. Also what really pissed me off was his rare comments on future development of relation with the EU if he won the election, eg …. no freedom of movement in my lifetime or whatever. He still has this totally erroneous view of the position the UK is in with regard to “negotiations” in the future. The EU powers have no interest in investing in any negotiations with the UK. The only political capital they will consider is related to Nato defence, AI considerations and other international issues …… not any return to the UK cherry picking as if they had any political capital to use. No one en France who I know gives a toss regarding Brexit ….. it is a dead parrot! The EU is not suffering while Ireland is actually benefiting. The EU does not need the UK……when will English politicians of any colour realise that fact?
Frankly Rob I could not do your job …..I would be suicidal … enjoy your life with your wife and family and leave the UK! Cordialement and bon courage. RB
Thank you Rob, I'm so glad to hear you will keep going. We cannot allow Brexit to be pushed under the carpet, so we need to lead the elephant out of the room.
I honestly don't know how Starmer leads the elephant out of the room, and maintain his integrity; but he has to find a way to do it.
From that point I want ot see a new senior cabinet position - Minister for Rejoin; with the responsibility of assessing and addressing all the factors that led the UK to making the most stupidest referendum decision a country can ever make.
Please keep this agenda alive!
Top priority PR. Defeat populism.
The UK cannot afford another Tory government.
PR is not a silver bullet but it does minimise the Tory's ability to govern alone.
It let's Niggle's mob in though.
It has been a disaster for fourteen years the other awful thing is Farage getting in to parliament he was the beginning of Brexit it may never have happened without him I voted Green this time and they won in my area which has always been Tory so it shows people had really enough of the Tories let us just hope that Starmer goes in the right direction and is strong enough to keep going and I might just add that Jeremy Corbyn is back in the House of Commons I am delighted thanks Rob take care
Farage was particularly ineffective and negligent as an MEP. I can't see that changing now he's an MP.
I 'd like to thank for all the videos you have posted, and yes I will continue watching brilliant
Rob. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 to you for your vlogs.
Protections for disability benefit claimants, strengthen disabled rights, more money into the NHS, mental health to be recognised as equal in importance as physical health and funding of mental health services at the correct proportion of the NHS budget according to its burden on the NHS. Getting Big Money out of politics (including the freebies that MPs get). Electoral reform. Tackling tax avoidance and tax evasion. Giving workers a proper Living Wage (even if the Living Wage is proportional to the cost of living in the local area rather than a National Living Wage). Increasing taxes on unearned income. Tackling corruption in politics (including legal cases against the most severe cases of corruption with fines and/or prison terms and a lifetime ban from holding public office on the table as punishment). Strengthening Human Rights and the Rights of persecuted minorities. Renationalising key industries. Abolishing student fees. Repairing the UK’s reputation on the subject of upholding International Law by prosecuting Tony Blair and those who supported the illegal Iraq War, banning arms sales to Israel, supporting any legal action against Israel if it is found to be committing genocide and actioning any arrest warrants issued against any individuals in regards to the Israel/Hamas War.
It's a great start off by Keir appointing a science expert for science & an expert from prison Reform as prison's Minister & an independent legal expert for the Minister of Law as an overseer of Labour staying within the law. That means Labour cannot step outside of International Law as for example Gaza or Israel. Other good things too numerous to mention.
Thanks Rob.
Keep 'em coming.
Let's hope we don't have cause to be as critical of the new government as we have the last 4.

Great to hear you are continuing your channel and look forward to your analysis of Labour's performance. We all know it's not going to be easy for them, having to fix the country yet again after the Tories break everything in order to transfer wealth to the already rich. I think the majority of people are getting sick of this cycle of, things being better under Labour, only for it to be destroyed under the Tories. They should never be allowed to govern again. We need proportional representation.
PR would open the door to Reform, a party of actual Nazis that would make the Tories diet version of the last 14 years look like the Attlee govt by comparison. I hate FPTP but we simply can't risk PR with anti-'woke' rhetoric now so mainstream. And I say that as a member of the Green Party.
Wise words. Can't fault you on any of your push points. However, I do have good reason to believe that Labour shall provide.
If your kitchen is on fire, you want the flames extinguished thoroughly and quickly before the damage spreads to the rest of your house. You can be concerned with the water damage later. We are at that stage right now. Labour are in the unenviable position of sorting out the deliberate damage created by the Tory arsonists over the past 14 years. Will they get everything done or everything right? Probably not. Certainly not in one parliament. However, a mediocre Labour government cannot be any worse than the very best performance under the Tories.
Good job Rob 👍🏻
I'd like to see Gove's poll that was ordered by the court to be published.
Just remember some things are going to take time, everyone must accept its gonna take time to fix what took 14 years to break!
If Labour do one thing, it has to be to fix the NHS again. We all pay for it through our taxes and can't access it.
The NHS desperately needs more staff to do this we must restore freedom of movement as all of our industries were highly dependent on this given them when we were part of the European union for 47 years

First of all, congratulations on getting rid of your fascist government, a phase that other European countries are still going through.

Thank you🙌🏻✝️🕊
Thank you Rob for all your efforts
Spot on....I would like the labour government to compensate the waspis as soon as possible too....we have waited far too long.
It won't happen, most older women vote Tory come what may.
Great video Rob, that was a pretty good list there, I dearly wish all of those are acted upon and quickly too. Pleased the channel is continuing.
priority #1 should be PR!
Very well said Rob
Highest average tax rate in 70 years and the lowest corporation tax rate in 50 years. Says it all really.
And Reeves won't change that.
@zotter2542 the rate, not the amount. Different.
There are more food banks in Britain than there are branches of McDonalds, but at least you stand a chance of getting healthier food from a food bank. The worrying thing is that Labour only have five years to show real improvement that people can actually SEE, otherwise we might get Reform in power and then it's game over, baby.
It does strike me that the reason there were no food banks in my youth was that society was too poor to donate to them. Looked at in that light they're a sign of prosperity of at least a fair proportion of the population.
We won't, unless we can't be bothered to challenge numptys, family numptys, wetherspoons numptys at every opportunity
The one priority is a second term. Anything that doesn't work towards that is a self indulgence.
I'd like to see social care more tightly integrated into the NHS, with a proper inspection regime, increased capacity to reduce bed blocking, and development of professional training, qualifications, and career progression for staff.
Might not be socialist, but I doubt that they'll be quite as unscrupulous, and hopefully a lot more competent.
The wish lists for Labour improvements are vast and various. One term will not see them all achieved. Perhaps part of holding Labour to account needs also to be specifically acknowledging the (incremental) improvements because the move towards a better future may well be slow (though hopefully steady). If the discourse - even from the left - is all impatience and dissatisfaction, the next election will be ripe for the far-right.
In US Elon Musk apparently pays no taxes as he has no income, he lives off loans taken out against the value of his companies. This allows him to also claim what I think is tax relief on his loan repayments! (Elon actually explained how he did it in an interview)
Is this a massive tax loophole used by the ultra wealthy to avoid taxes in UK too? If so how much tax is this country missing out on and what public services could be provided if the loophole was plugged?
@@MiPointIs 😠 Elon Musk has won a legal case to claim an income of . . . $56 billion 🥴!
