  • 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    Britain is now in such a poor state, it would take a generation to repair.

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.

    Government priorities should always start with education and health. Begin by paying teachers, doctors and nurses a decent wage. Then turn to utilities, for services we all use such as water, energy, banking and internet, set-up at least one not-for-profit provider in each sector fully owned by the UK public. As for the economy, introduce redistribution of wealth measures by applying fairer taxation on the very rich and raising the lower tax threshold for the poor. Each of these could be initiated right now.
