- On the last day of this wasted parliament, the many retiring MPs got to say their goodbyes. Quite a few Tory MPs had harsh words for their colleagues.

My MP Useless George Eustice managed to get 2 terms, he represented one of the poorest parts of Cornwall, which depended on the EU. Eustice was ex ukip.
Mate, I’ve got a decade on you, and this is easily the worst parliament of MY lifetime.
World beatingly bad
Just look at the United States of America's Congress (if you've an exceptionally strong stomach). The worst since 1859.
Likewise.
The worst government of your life, so far…..
The apathy or disillusionment of many people saddens me. I know that on welfare benefits, water pollution, the NHS, energy, the railways, that Labour will make a real difference.
Pay someone £3000 of public money, so he doesn't have to pay out £1000 of his own money. Sounds about right.
I am 68 and been interested in politics since the 1964 election. I was 8. ! Im all my years this is the worst Parliament ever. The second worst was the 2017-2019 Parliament. The arrogance of the opposition leader not to coalesce around a unity leader and depose the Tories was criminal. We could have had a second referendum and possibly no Brexit. !
that pretty much sums up the idiot failbryn
As a foreigner from a family with political traditions, I agree.
Unfortunately!
(Although I started following British politics 12 years after you.)
Mrs May may share the responsibility. But 2019 truly became an annus horribilis.
Labour has no idea about how their reputation plummeted among "sister parties" abroad. 2002 was bad, 2019 was worse!
Jeremy Corbyn! he never wanted to be in the EU!
The arrogance of the LibDems to not accept the opposition leader as a unity leader was the real crime.
No other party in opposition would have accepted their leader having to stand down with an election likely.
Indeed, Corbyn was an old Lexiter and as culpable as the rest of them.
This is really disappointing. I have already bought 4 bottles of nice beer to drink on election night but now they are all running away. If Rees-Smug resigns too I'm not sure who I'll be staying up for.
Is Johnson running?
I hope Lib dems are opposition after July, then there will be an opposition pulling a willing Labour Government back towards the EU. A good reason for tactical voting!
The EU won't let them back in for a while and the members have to vote to let them in.
Other reasons than that - they’ll push on PR too, and many Labour MPs really strongly agree. They’ll push on better management of what nearly everyone agrees should be viewed as public infrastructure. They’ll push on the NHS and social welfare.
We may none of us think they’re a viable government yet, but they are the opposition I think the country needs.
@@viperswhip Correct. The EU wants to make sure that GB isnt just leaving again the moment the Tories are back. The Brits have to prove that they have a stable Pro-EU political landscape. Which may take a while.
Okay but I can't forget the Lib Dems worked with the Tories from 2010 to 2015, enabling those swine to visit "austerity" upon us.
Starmer goes into the election knowing that, no thanks to FPTP, he needs to gain 150 seats just to secure a working majority. That's a massive mountain to climb, which is why every single vote counts in order to oust the renegade Tori£s. Then we must reform our crap electoral system which is grossly undemocratic and biased towards the Ruling Class. Which is why they developed and imposed it on us in the first place.
To repeat: Vote A B C
Anyone But CONservative
And sort out your Voter ID or Postal Voting ballot NOW! 😉🙏🏻
A good move for Labour will be to engage young people more with politics, it's a subject that needs to be taught within our schooling system.
Yeah, nice idea. Just doesn't work. Because politics is run by people with "life experience" or in other words, people who are way too old to a) understand the issues of the younger generation or b) care what happens 20 years in the future. And with less and less children being born, the younger become less and less compared to the olders, so even if there were a politician with young people's issues at heart, they would be ousted by the older voters for the same reasons. Why should young voters even bother when they know that they are massively outnumbered by egotistical old farts who don't give a fuck about the future? And this has already been going on for generations and after decades of prioritising the old over the young, the young are now at such an incredible disadvantage that realistically, there is no political way they can get out of this mess.
We allso need to teach critical thinking.
All lined their pockets at the taxpayers expense. Massive conflict of interest when awarding contracts.
Noses in d trough😂
Starmer Is a People person, had to be a good listener as a lawyer to discuss the issues of a case....Sunak is purely a Money-person...ONLY money talks to him......Charisma IS VASTLY overated....Leave that to those in show-business.....In a P.M We NEED Competence, Trustworthiness, Honesty and the ability to listen to the people who know the true picture (i.e Employees, local councils, Doctors/Nurses) and Act in best Interests of the Electorate.....
I'll go with boring but supremely competent any day of the week.
We should only alow candidates with a proven track record of problem solving to stand for election to parliament.
A degree in an obscure subject which relies on only having a good memory is of little use in today's world where an ability to think in essential.
The brains and talent go to Cambridge, the politicians go to Oxford.
Day one: Announce an independent, FULL investigation into PPE/Track and trace scandals.
The battle is not over, now we must keep them out for good.
There is no such thing as a reasonable Tory. 😒
Weirdly, i've worked with some great people all my life and not a single one of them is a Sir.. !!?
No doubt you have also worked with some complete twats who also have not been knighted. Being a sir is not a sign of being a git, it is just that many are made knights because they are gits.
There's a few; ones who got knighted for service to charity, but now they're definitely outnumbered by those knighted for service to tory.
Nods and winks club 😂
It turns my stomach listening to people who have wilfully harmed the country and ended lives giving it the grandiose public service speech on their way out.
Her husband has shares in Group 4, the security (hemhem) firm that somehow managed to "win" a lot of contracts. So, MP's in it for them selves? Pots and Kettles Tes
I often think if Leadsom won instead of May, everything would have gone to pot a lot sooner and therefore would have been terrible but not quite as long.
How Lizz Truss's name is not up there is beyond me. arrogance of the woman 😡
Could a referendum on electoral reform be introduced via a free vote in a new parliament?
Yes Please! But I think it would depend on the majority. Too strong and the members would be ignored although voted for at the conference I think. Too weak and it will be impossible to pass all the other legislation. But I hope so.
Lords: Gove, Redwood, Rees Mogg, Schapps, Jenrick. Watch this space.
I never figured on that- good God I hope you are wrong ( especially Shapps )
Ugh; I forgotten that he gets one last salting of the earth in, as he's booted out the door.
Is Jacob a Lord?
@@stephenhardy312 He's a lordly streak of shite
Isn't Starmer committed to abolishing the Lords😂
Get Ray Mears in to track Richard Holden down.....
Yep, "Parliament was prorogued on Friday 24 May and will be dissolved on Thursday 30 May."
Thank you.
The lords failed to block rwanda. So ultimately impotent.
As my old workshop foreman used to say “Clock off and f*ck off!”
Thanks Phil 👍
Cor - 7 of your list are already 'Sirs:. What a con eh.
If Sunk claims that flights to Ruanda have gone, then why are the boats still coming?
If Graham Brady leaves, who will disgruntled Tory MPs address their letters of no confidence to?
They reminds me of the ill-fated 1912 polar expedition........Captain Oates...I'm going out now, I may well be some time....inside the tent...thank fuk for that......I thought he would never go........🥶🌨🥳
It's a pity most people wouldn't have read the punchline or you'd have loads of likes. That was really funny, that was😂😂😂
Could there be a few on that list who will have concerns about the upcoming PPE investigation when Labour gain power?
I have a feeling all these scandals will just fade away after all d whole tory party has been struck down with amnesia . 😢😢
Better to resign than be SACKED
You cannot vote on a deal that has yet to be made!? Which also means you cannot recommend it to the voting public.
Mays vile sugary words about service. Horrible woman
The first time I could vote was in the 79 election so of course I’m scarred for life!
Please adjust your sound level Phil .
Some key priorities for Starmers' first term IMHO , AND crucially ,to ensure the Tories NEVER again gain power with a minority vote ,will be electoral reform in the form of scrapping recent vot er ID (no justification or evidence of fraud and there never was !) reduce the voting age for general and local elections to 16 (old enough to work, pay taxes, serve in our armed forces, then they are old enough to be enfranchised ! etc) and restore boundary changes where appropriate (demographically etc) .and, if course replace FPTP with a form of PR.
Media and Press reform (Levenson on steroids) banning foreign ownership of newspapers and strong regulation of so called 'news' channels re impartiality and bias including the depoliticisation of BBC as part of it'd new charter in 2027 ie no PM of any party can appoint or endorse future DGs or influence or lobby for BBC governors as they can now (eg., Johnson, in return for facilitating a large personal loan secured 'help' from then candidate for Chairman Richard Sharp...surprise surprise he was appointed as Chair !). Root and branch reform of Ofcom and their powers of sanction...long overdue !
Include regarding regulators Ofgen and Ofwat AND introduce a rolling buy back of ALL utilities... Water, Rail and Energy !
And reinstate bursary grants for nursing and a new 'independent' and suitably qualified body to oversee reform of Social Care integrating it effectively into our NHS including pay rates and removing private exploitation if care both domiciliary and home care. I would also introduce sweeping changes to Carers benefits (Carers UK have an excellent manifesto that should be implemented asap ), scrap Universal Credit and punitive sanctions and reform rules on claiming sickness and disability benefits scraping the heinous work capability assessments relying more on GPs and consultants reports as before, but with greater real and targeted support for those who which to regain their independence and access to employment and services. Lastly introduce nationally at secondary school upwards the teaching of institutions , governance and how parliament works, what used to be called 'Civics'in the past !
With the above changes will come the possibility of rejoining eventually the Single Market and Customs Union...full EU membership, as Phil rightly points out, sadly may take a decade or more, but we can begin the process towards that goal much sooner having implemented the necessary reforms above !
Vote Tactically folks and reduce the Tories to third party status or less !.
Do we think Rishi will decide he's not standing for election??
Tactically my vote should probably go to the Lib Dem’s, waiting until the water clears a bit. I know the new Labour candidate though, and he is a really good man… I’m hoping the gap narrows and I can still vote for him in good conscience! Our constituency is newly formed, but it has voted Tory since the 1923 election in it’s previous guises.
Due to Sunak's lack of prior warning 200 tory seats have 4 working days to select and vet candidates. Lets see how many of them have embarrassing "History"😂😂😂
You mean even more embarrasing than being Tory ??
Good to see the linesman getting a listing. He’ll be a great dross. Sadly I have to suck it up at Hollywood as I firmly believe in proportional representation.
blame the voters
2010 to 2024 are the worst years un living memory for the vast majoriry of British ppl. Statistically, anecdotally and actually.
And the police let it happen.
Labour won't even have 2 weeks, the first few days will be oath swearing etc. then kings speech debate
Oh dear, apparently my old do-nowt chum is banning anyone who disagrees with him now. A moments silence in memory of the broad church. 😞
Thank goodness...I look forward to a complete change. A movement in the right direction, let's make shore the Tories do not get into any government roles again.
Who are the two Labour Lexiter MPs?
Parliament has been dissolved since 2010
😂😂😂
😆😆😆
I am a labor voting socialist and when Blair got in I was very disappointed hope history does not repeat.
He let us down badly! Better luck with Mr Starmer?
I wonder if it would
I just became a memeber of green party last month bit i find myself in an interesting position. I encourage folk in england to vote labour, scots to vote SNP in westminster.
But encourage folk to vote green in local elections and holyrood elections
I joined greens though cause they align with my views most i like what they pushed in holyrood and they are a vital part of scottish government.
My reasons for this is First past post means no option but labour SNP only scottish distinct party so optimal for giving scotland more attention in parliament
The greens are best in Scotland due to our system giving them a voice and work well with SNP
Interesting yes but sensible and pragmatic as well
@@user-uv8bv4dm9f yeah I've always been in a limbo, I'm not committed to one party completely I think in a more strategic way different parites are effective in different places. I like both SNP and Green party and want both in power working together not bickering.
But the green party align closest with my views and I see value in them.
If the Tories are committed to *_Con-Scripting_* might that put a certain cohort to *_NOT_* vote Tory‽‽‽
I bet all their wallets and Bank Accounts are fat and overflowing 🧐
I technically agree with you! But it doesn't avoid a scism into two separate factions of the Conservatives. I still believe that the late Lord Paddy Ashdown made a very plausible observation of that thing some 32/33 years ago! When leader of the Liberal Democrats suspecting that! He has turned out to be correct and accurate! Historically speaking! And in memoria!
As a Liberal Democrat supporter I would have preferred to discuss a possible return to Europe but I think we face a fundamental difficulty with that! We're simply not ready! The other issues spoken of - confirm it!
Catching up on this today, did you miss Dame Andrea Leadsom in timing or profile?
Ah you did mention her, her odious support of Brexit is enough reason to have her on this list
Phil, that list is pretty striking. Could you do a top twenty of Tories who are staying to fight?
Thanks for putting up the list being a Scot the only one i find utterly hilarious is the name of one Douglas Ross, who in Scotland is telling every one that they will stop the SNP, talk about putting faith in the electorate re voting you back into power being a lost cause
Does sunak get to do another honours list? I hope not …
Afraid so😢
Im 70iv seen them come and go and apart from thatcher this socalled govt easily is the wosrt iv ever expeien ed
I can assure you that many of them won’t have a job after July4
I believed in the house of Lords up until Charlotte Owen, that was the absolute last straw, tho there were others.
71 as of yesterday!
Latest UK polls show a heavy Labour victory in Banbury and Oxford East.
Our current crop of politicians seem to be totally deaf to 'public opinion' - for example a consistant 70+% of the UK population support a cease fire in Gaza - where are politicians on this - nowhere... None of them seem to have the populations' best interests, or wishes, uppermost.
Pity but neither the incumbent party or the opposition can do shit to cause one.
@@brianferguson7840 it's more about running a flag up the pole and seeing who salutes it; as one of the larger sponsors of Israel, we could (should) show them exactly what the UK thinks about where they are going - the fact that we are not doing this, despite the wishes of the majority of the population, is disgusting and a sad reflection on the state of UK politics and our major political parties.
Who are the two Labour Brexiters still in Parliament? Anyone know? I hope people will vote them out and vote in a Lib Dem or Green or SNP et cetera instead.
I think some of the departing Tories should realise their is a difference between retiring and jumping. Some of those who are leaving have served for a long time and its a shame they are being lumped in with those who are running away with their pension and contact lists !!
Douglas Ross??? The Tory Scottish leader. He is concenttating on Holyrood elrctions in 2026.
Sunak's exit reminded me of Shawshank Redemption, where a banker sneaks out through poor conditions and after making loads of money, escapes to another country
Thatcher was elected to office and replaced Callaghan in 1979.
NO PARLIAMENT IS NOT DISSOLVED TILL 30TH MAY
Just read Ian Dunt’s book and he says the House of Lords is one of the very few parts of Westminster/Whitehall that works properly so although in principle I’m in favour of reforming it in practice I’d approach it very warily.
Parliament is prorogued. It is not yet dissolved. That happens on Thursday. It’s ‘wash up’ until then 🙂
What would be worse for Sunak than being leader of the opposition? Not being the leader of the opposition!?
Parliament can pass a "carry over" motion tp "carry over" bills to the next session.
Petitions end and it is tgen up to the Petitions Committee to decide what to discuss in the next session. They have sent a standard email to this effect.
That list of standing down MPs is the final proof that Brexit is an economic catastrophe.
Do you mean Alok Sharma (not Alex); I knew Alok at University. The part of our second year, my room was next to his!
gosh that is interesting!
Always too quiet for my fone, think I'll miss this one! Shame...
Re Clarke, you normally have opinions so stand up and say he should be penalised for what he did and losing a title does not really punish him. They should be jailed. Yes, Lords should be scrapped. Just have a cross-section committee and meet monthly in a McDonald's.
Good luck 🙅to everyone...perhaps it's time for a change. By the way the state pension is a disaster...
The jobs market is going to be flooded with Tory MPs looking for new jobs. OK, some are of retirement age, but many (like Gove and Greg Clark) are not. I guess they’ll pick up some cosy part-time directorships. Am I weeping for them? Not f*****g likely - they permitted the car crash that we’ve all suffered the consequences of since 2010. It took 90 days for my partner’s cancer treatment to start last year. Thankfully, he was successfully treated by lovely caring people and a great surgeon - no thanks to the Tory shambles of a government!
I think Michael Gove will get a well-paid job with the Murdoch media organisation.
I’m anxious to know what jobs exiting MPs will get. Will the Tories all apply for jobs in the NHS? Or choose from a long list of directorships?
I'm not fond of Abbott, but I do like to see consistency. There are Labour members/MP's who have said far worse things than her, but who are still in the party, been allowed back in and have the whip.
It's nominatively the end of an era -- but other tories being tories will come along -- it's the party , never trust a tory,
No had to come with any sense and that’s Putin though as we!
Its not been dissolved yet
Windrush : Simon Webb on History Debunked can explain
I would say Gove and Brady are the biggest fish there and the most telling.
Sir Sir Sir Sir lol
sadly 3 names NOT mentioned on your list...Braveman/Patel/Sunak. Hamas are back to firing missiles ....not going to comment on that?
They're not standing down, so voters will have to eject them.
Then only Brexiteer which seems to be left is JRM. And i think he will quit as well.
C'mon Phil, we need to sort this 30% Superchat surcharge out, I've seen Labour Social take hundreds of pounds, get it sorted, we trust you guys...Grim's on holiday,so I'll have to wait till he's back....I don't think people are aware, we cant have that now can we, start a, movement, there, gave you guys an out, x
Superchat is and always will be a SCAM. A 30 % cut ✂ for google.
parliarment will be back soon enough, slightly less s££££t than the tories
I'll wait for the manifesto before I'll form any opinion. The simple fact about brexit is it's the only thing which will produce real results if labour can manage to get us that provisional membership in the way that Greece had when I lived there for the second time. To be blunt, screw the electorate, most of them don't have the intelect of breeze blocks and look how well it went the last couple of times they got their way. We got brexit and the last litany of tory oligarchs, kleptocrats and grifters who have left the uk's society, culture (or what passes for one) and economy in tatters. Just get in there early in a term, and, to paraphrase Reeves, laser focus on the things that will make noticeable improvements in the plebs lives. Otherwise I worry that we're looking at a one and a half term reign or two at best.
I'm not buying any more jam tomorrow lines, I've been fed that since 1979.
And fyi Phil, it is a fact that the cabbages will vote labour not because Starmer has rebuilt labour but the tories are son hated quite rightly. I do hope PR, if labour bring it in, put an end to tribal voting which is moronic. And please stop feeding the bs that it would take decades to join the EU but, that said you clearly know as well as me that labour's grip on power is as tenuous as I have said.
Not many women on the list.
You still need more gain on the lives.
I if the return of the red tribe song will return to number 10 by the 4 of July sending a message to the blue wall to move move move!!! By the song
Isn't Larry the Cat a Civil Servant?
No you fool- he is running the country. I thought everybody knew this.
Plot twist: Larry has actually been the real PM all these years.
Is Rees-Mogg standing down?
No he is standing up because he has fouled himself.
No, he'll be kicked out.
Love your channel but I don’t think Starmer needs to wait to hear the government’s legal advice to take a stance…doesn’t he have the expertise available currently? even if not it’s morally wrong to send a single bolt and screw to be used by the IDF…Very weak area for Labour
#Support Phil .... McCracken that is.... what ever happened to freedom of speech 😱
It's obvious the spoon bender doesn't like to be called out 🤷....very Starmerish 🤦
