Selected, not Elected
2nd prize in a raffle (1st being a lettuce) more like
Selected to continue with Boris’s manifesto of 2019.
Not to create his own.
Truss also thought she could create a new manifesto..
@@thebeatcreeper Brown knew had to continue with Blair’s policies,,
Yooooo this is the comment of the day ❤️
The man considered to be less suited to leadership than Liz Truss.
My skin starts to crawl whenever he starts speaking.
I know what you mean , I'm 100% against violence but he's got a voice that the minute u hear it you want it to STOP by any means possible !!!
For me it's the smug grin!
Indeed.
I hear you - he is Goldmans Sachs trained corporate hack . A ponzi schene artist now heading a Ponzi scheme economy .
@@HamishM22 The BS get's me.
I won’t be voting conservative.
They are in for a big surprise
There in for a record loss. I hope there isn't a single Conservative MP left in Parliament. There lies and delusions we have had to unbearably survive under is coming to an end. Attacking the severe disabled and vunerable in society is the lowest blow after allowing illegals in and not using the UK border patrol and navy to turn the boats around. We need our country back.
Have you got kids? If so why wouldn't you vote for a brighter future for them?
@jayhenson2316 Yes, that is why I am not voting conservative
@@jayhenson2316 Are you for real? another five years of these dogs and there will be no future for anyone other than the ultra rich.
The billionaire speaks of hard times what a joke
And an insult to those struggling to live
@@user-wf3nn6rx5twhy is it an insult? People with money can't point out a fact? Would you say the same if millionaire Starmer was saying it
@@stephenmurray2851 Your proof that Starmer is a millionaire is?
@@nigelsynnott7344 You already know that he is. He owns a ten million pound estate. His wife owns a one million pound second home and their primary home is worth just under a million. Why are you asking me that question when you could have just done your own research? Where is your evidence he isn't a millionaire? I'll wait. I have all day.
@@stephenmurray2851 Your sources for his property wealth is? If you base his wealth on his property assets, he's merely joining a huge number of residents in SE England.
I could find no evidence of him being a millionaire other than his property, hence the question. If he has a readily way of realising those assets into cash, then yes, he's a millionaire.
Like Sunak, he's come from a relatively modest background (no apparent inherited wealth for example), and both deserve credit for getting where they are albeit in different ways.
Sunak's greater wealth is likely to insulate him more from real life than Starmer.
Nick Ferrari with his soft ball 'Journalist propaganda 'interviews'
I wish he'd just finish his audition for the real life version of the Glutton from SeVeN and leave a lovely silence.... At least till the next shameless shill comes along
@@chrisdickens4268 hey, that's unfair, glutton is in far better shape
Should have been James O’Brian
@@khethiwezulu6706 Richly Sunak will never agree to be interviewd by James.
That can't be a real surname. A trolling surname
Tossers....yes that's both of them.
Nick is about as much of a grill as a wet lettuce!
A torie never grills a torie 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Spot on 👍
he's your host get use to it
Well, if they know it’s a Rottweiler going to interview them then they won’t come on to the show! But if know it’s going to be a light feather tickler then of course they’ll show up!
😂😂😂🫡👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I really dislike your support for Israel. I won’t be voting for you Rishi or Conservatives!
That support won't end once Labour get in.
Labour and starmer are taking Israeli donor money
@@PedroPanzerSo???, labour is 10000 times way better than this disgrace Tori’s that over 14 years have put the country in shambles and only great for themselves and their donors.
As long as their are people in the UK who stand against oppression of occupied palestine then we have hope it will eventually force leaders to change
Does Sunak's wife have Infosys business in Israe- ooh, aah.
A very empty man.
Yep a total empty suit...
No there are plenty of sausages in there, I doubt his stomach is empty.
I disagree . That he is an empty man! He is full of lies . That is not a man that can lead a country in prosperity, poverty, crisis or war.
He's empty but rich as F
That's the word I was looking for. Empty. His word salad almost rivals Kamala Harris's. Top notch evasion in answering questions, too.
Pack your bags.
He's off to california or florida that's a certainty
He'll get his butler to pack his bags.
Red Tory starmer next to rob the public purse
Dont forget to add a E at the end of your opening word
@@adgepeterb packe that's not a word you 🤡
So rudely patronizing, horrible
Nobodies buying it anymore PM read the room the games up
Just walk away please
No need for ‘please’ He is a disgrace
We are asking for a general election because we are more desperate by the day to vote you out of office. Give us more days and see the results of that increasing desperation.
Billionaire:We've all been through a tough time!'
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Manipulating people always say WE to feel inclusief and "together" . Like ita bout US , but they actually mean ME ME ME ME😂😂
Just call an Election. Enough already.
It's not accurate to use the word "grilled" in the title of this video 😂
Lightly tickled is more like it
Why?
Because your version of grilled is moronic. You'd blame him for your mortgage, rent, energy prices, food prices. ALL out of his control, and out of Labour's control when they win and ruin the country.
@Dynasty1818 who else is to blame for the problems you listed? Which party oversaw them? And who’s in charge of that party now? … those aren’t rhetorical questions
@@Dynasty1818there's only one version of "grilled", and it's the one in the dictionary. And yes, I blame him and his party for everything that's gone wrong in the past decade or so (especially since 2016), since they are the ones in power. And I'll be voting them out and can't wait.
I notice he doesn't mention anything about all the tory mistakes that have cost the tax payers millions.
What exactly is this plan he keeps going on about???...
Millions 🤣...it's been over 700 BILLION in just over 3 years
Millions? Try 8 Billions of fake PPE gone to his mates for starters.
He keeps nicking Labour policies. He has no actual plan apart from draw out general election
It's the plan to cost the tax payer millions. So he did mention it!
Zero
Would have much rathered James O Brien interview him.
James O'brien wouldn't have given him an easy time, that's for sure
He’s very quick to snipe at Labour in Wales but where do we get our funding from? England dictates the Barnett formula across Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland. Sunak is lying…again. He’s is ultimately responsible for funding and hasn’t compensated for the EU funds we lost either!
Boris promised the £350m tens times over. If it went to the NHS, how could it replace any EU funding?
The glee with which he seized on the fact that the woman who'd been waiting years was in Wales was quite something.
@@johnrussell3961 I’m talking about both funding channels being watered down by the Tories.
@@nicindiff . Brexit resulted in cutting. There never was going to be a huge tax surplus. The former membership fee hardly dents the post Brexit tax deficit.
@@olliebeanYep, quite disgusting to watch wasn’t it?
What a waste of time. He was so happy when he found Louise was from Wales so he could absolve himself of any blame for her problems. So obvious.
His obvious glee that he could score a political point was gross. I really hope she gets the help she needs.
I noticed that too, sickening, he didn't even try to empathize with Louse. He went straight to political point scoring. This is just a game to these people. Sad state of affairs.
Were is the 700 billion pounds gone spent on the pandemic?
In his wife's bank account probably
I can send you a list of donors to the Conservative party that should act as a reasonable proxy to this answer
To rich people?
Up goves nose 😂😂😂
Middle managers
Never seen someone so incompetent, failed by all of his own measures
Starmer? Agreed.
@@Dynasty1818 So you are happy with Sunak's record?
To the woman who is needing Mental Health support. This man doesnt get it, the moment you said it sin Wales, he should have taken ownership and directed it to the right people. Instead he plays the "Flip Flop Blame Game" - Labour this, Labour that...
This is not a man who cares about the public, this is a man who is looking for quick buck exit when he gets his India Trade Deal.
💯 per centb
It's absolutely appalling how Nick Ferrari just lets him go on and on with his incredibly easily refutable lies.. he doesn't question *anything* that comes out of Dishy Rishi.
So about the same level of grilling as JoB usually gives to Sadiq Khan then? 😂
@@dftfire or GB news gives Reform owners and employees
Biggest crook in Britain
What an absolute shambles, see you later pal.
😂😂😂😂😂
Who voted for this guy? I didn’t! He’s complicit in the G! They’ve all got their sticky fingers in some kind of deal or another and are not really interested in their actual job. The Sunak’s are also benefiting from £650 million in UK government contracts. He also has business interests in Israel. How can British voters allow this to happen?
Yeah we’ll labor would but those into the billions. Just look at Australia and spending of billions on submarines under labor there.
@@MrWhitmen1981 sorry mate it’s not labour who did that it’s the conservatives who agreed to that. Also, please learn to spell.
@MrWhitmen1981 so we stay in this 15 year economic nosedive because somebody told you the others might be worse? You must really despise this country
Rishi Sunak makes Boras Johnson look "acceptable"? Sunak, so far, the worst PM of 🇬🇧
Both equally bad tbh
No, both Boris Johnson and LiZ Truss put policies in place which are still hurting UK citizens and businesses to this day.
I'd say they're on a par.
Don't forget lettuce liz
Cameron was the worst, came up with cuts to public services, came up with brexit and split the United Kingdom in half.
Then May was the worst, came from the remain camp but did a backwards dithering robot dance instead of stopping brexit.
Then Johnson was the worst, resigned in disgrace after delivering a bodged brexit, had parties while threatening to fine everyone else.
Then Truss was the worst, almost killed the British economy after 12 years of austerity and cuts.
Then Sunak topped all that off, strutting around like he's got ''a plan'' - an insider trader selling the country to his mates.
He’s got more grifting to do before he calls the election
Pretty much 😂
😂😂😂
He talked and talked and actually said nothing, he had over 30 minutes and didn’t answer any question he was asked only praised himself for doing absolutely nothing, what a joke
😂😂
A Tory being ‘grilled’ by Ferrari is akin to been savaged by a sheep.
No by a cat 🤣🤣🤣
More like a feather duster?! Lol!
More like a masseuse
The ECHR is not a foreign court, it’s an International court that the UK is part of with British judges. It was the British Supreme Court who declared the Rwanda bill illegal. But yeah, keep spouting your lies Sunak.
Using the wording of the UN charters, not the human rights of the ECHR!
Well said. It is yet another Tory lie/gaslighting attempt.
🤫 shh you
@@johnrussell3961Sunak mentions a “foreign court” at 19:23 - he is referring to the European Court on Human Rights even though it was the UK’s Supreme Court that voted against his Rwanda bill because it broke international law. The European Convention on Human Rights is what the Tories are threatening to pull us out of because they’re just plain evil. The Court oversees the Convention.
I think my comments are being deleted but I clarified the difference between the Court and Convention in a previous comment. Hopefully you can see it.
Why would be proud? The results in Gaza are appalling - not something we could possibly be proud of.
This is so scripted!! Callers are chosen to ask the right questions.
100%
and the Dork still can't handle it
T'were ever thus.
Has rishi or his billionaire wife ever bought a pint of milk???? Me thinks no.
we did see him filling a car with petrol, so he does have some use.
@@edwardbernthal160yes and he borrowed that car to do it , it wasn't his , then he went into the shop to pay for it and he DIDNT know how to use his contactless payment card lol lol
@@HamishM22 he probably didn't drive it to the pump
His change in tone when the lady talking about NHS wait times says she is from Wales. Disgusting... using her strife as a political football. He seemed almost happy that the lady had a 5 year wait for treatment. Despicable.
I don't call that being grilled, he doesn't have any opponents, he just answers questions and can spiel as he likes.
Because they are all in it together! The great uni party! Vote for independents get them all out!
Ferrari does a puff piece interview with barverman now with sunak , is he after a seat in the house of lords when sunak gets the boot ? Arise Sir nick of torybumlickerland
Same goes for the rightwing labour party
Haaaaaa!
'I have 2 young daughters' - 'do they talk about trans issues?' - 'I like to keep them out of politics' - Dork!
Obnoxious Tory women have to come from somewhere. It’s hard to believe that Bravermen was ever a child.
@@johnrussell3961 I think braverman was a medical experiment that went drastically wrong and somehow she escaped from the lab and into the population. She is definitely not human .
Did nick only take calls from card carring conservatives loons
Yeah because he’s a Tory himself
So every question he answered was a lie? Why didn’t Nick challenge on this.
Blaming NHS in Wales as usual. Woman phones up about not getting help as Sunak wants to make political points.
Pathetic PM. Call the GE and put us out of our misery.
did not ask why shoplifting has increased.....due to the cost of living people are more likely to buy half priced stolen goods
I try and keep my children out of my political life.... But mention them every single time I'm on tv... 🤷♂️
It's called having your cake and eating it.
When is the general election?
Next January
Not soon enough!
October I think
@@Alsmithize Nah it's October I believe
Once they've filled their pockets
Cliant journalist gives Dr Death an easy ride, James O'brien should have conducted this interview
Why was Nick asking such easy questions and not pressing for clear answers?
because he’s a tory
Because Nick knows full well if he doesn't do that then Sunak won't come back.
Im french, i dont know a lot about uk politic, am i right assuming everyone hate this guy ? I had the feeling when he greet the first caller
He became Prime Minister by default. He wasn't elected by the country and has absolutely no mandate.
Blatant liar.
Other 'allies' have suspended weapons supply to Israel.
Japan and Denmark.
600 lawyers and judges have pointed out that Britain is in breach of international law.
Not that our prime miniture is concerned about breaching international law or his members of his cabinet who have done this on several occasions.
Just keep in mind Wales NHS budget is set by Westminster, so sunak being all happy and jolly that that women has been waiting 5 years for treatment in Wales is still his government's fault.
Just two buddies having a conversation
What a waste of time 😂
What’s the point of inviting this man on if he isn’t going to answer a question properly?
The NHS in England is so bad that I’ve started going private, even though I can’t afford it. Sometimes I have to choose between heating my home/eating and getting the medical care that I need. So don’t pretend that things are any better in England than they are in Wales. They’re worse, if anything.
EDIT: Also, even then I can’t get all the medical care that I need, so I just have to let my medical needs lie neglected, which has ultimately created new medical problems that I have to deal with. I live in constant pain as a result.
The NHS is starting to go private. It’s impossible to reform it.
@@johnrussell3961how's englands privatised water going 😂😂🤣..
England let's get the same lot to take over englands nhs 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 the voter in england have lost their marbles 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
They do not care ,this man Has no idea about poor people ,working class people people with ,disabilities a failing NHS,however what we do know without a shadow of a doubt that we have been subjected to a bunch of liars ,and corrupt individuals governing this country .
Louise from Rhonda..Sunak 'Hi Rhonda' No wonder he missed the UN general assembly
Where is journalism that holds those in office accountable, asking the tough questions and pressing the questions with facts and holding the persons feet to the fire!!
Poor people are stealing from the shops. Poor people are not stealing from the taxman.
The laughing is maniacal.
Wragg should have resigned as an MP not just stood down from committees!
Don't disagree, in "normal" times this would have happened. I personally believe that they are afraid of a further bi election defeat humiliation.
lots of people should be phoning in to ask for a general election now
A weak prime minister interviewed by an equally weak interviewer. They are truly well matched. Not an incisive question or a direct answer in sight even with the Hubble telescope taped to your eyeballs! With this performance we can safely say that Nick puts the “soft ball” in “soft ball interviews”… not to mention he IS a soft ball himself!
The Indian Norman Wisdom isn't funny.
In India, he’s considered Modi’s mini me.
😂😂😂😂
Grilled? Don't make us laugh. The only person who is grilling Sunak is his father in law. I'm sure he keeps asking when the India deal is going to be done.
The first question, he just ignores it. It’s like “I know you have asked me question A but that is the wrong question, you should have asked me question B and this is the answer to the question you should have asked “. I don’t hate many people BUT I do hate this man
What personal hardships has he suffered in the last 5 years?
Getting caught without a seat belt
He had to use the loo
The way he just gave that lady with mental health a party political statement was disgusting. His party has left millions with mental health without the support they need when they need it.
The moment he found out it was Wales he was almost giddy that he got to attack the labour party, he has no empathy at all
The waiting lists for the NHS has come down because they’re all DEAD..!?! 🤬
PM getting desperate now.
I'm really not liking LBC's method here - the other day Suella and now Rishi and "surprisingly" Ferarri conducting the interview again after his poor performance the other day. Very fishy.
When you say grilled, you mean free Propaganda by a paid up member of the club.
Grilled? That’s not a grilling!
Where's the grilling? More like pampering.
" We'd been through a tough time", that he's made tougher.
Didn't ask my question.....how much richer has he got since becoming PM....
Richer?; the correct word is 'wealthier'.
progress? Things have got worse since 2010.
They fixed things which didn’t need fixing out of dogma.
The delight on his face when she said the hospital was Welsh
You're dredging up people from the bottom of the barrel, Cruella yesterday and now him, where do you dig them up from?
And Tories are always given an easy ride by Fararri. So many lies went unchallenged.
He's the stain on the floor underneath the barrel the Tories have scraped the bottom out of.
They should have let James loose on him!
Ferrari back in fine form cheerleading for the Tories. Absolutely pathetic he's even butting in to cover Absolutely pathetic 🙄
I'm sorry... Nick Ferrari is just way too polite to be doing this segment and as a result the prime minister is able to talk through him and not allow him to interject...
Evey time Nick tries to make a point or question him on things he has just said sunak just talks over him and doesn't allow it opting to talk about something away from the subject matter..
I would say let him try that with James o Brien but let's face facts... Sunak is way too much of a coward.
If James was the host Rishi simply wouldn't show up...
Nick is allowing him to get away with way too much here.
Much as I like Mr Ferrari I really think he is the wrong guy for the job here and he is getting walked on by the prime minister
"I am keen to make progress"... You mean I am keen to keep pocketing tax payers money so is my crocked greedy wife.....
LBC, people did not get to grill the prime minister. we were allowed to ask 1 question before quickly being cut off so we couldn't refute any of the lies or misinformation you have allowed the prime minister to spout.
Disappointed Sunak was not asked about the Rwanda refugee homes built partly with UK money are being sold to locals
I can not believe the PM of the United Kingdom as just said to a woman who will have waited 5 years to be treated by NHS your from Wales which is Labour run , never asked how she was hope you get sorted all he was interested in was political point scoring. That can not be what a PM of this country should have said . Absolutely outrageous, and the commentator never even pulled him on it.
“Grilled” 😂
More like a chat in the pub laughing at poor and ill people. Sickening.
He talks a lot but says nothing
The lady from the Rhondda is obviously one of the 60,000 English who have retired to Wales and put extra strain on the Welsh NHS,before I get any backlash no problem with them coming here just highlighting our problem with a very ageing population and its effect on the Welsh NHS.
"We are doing our bit with humanitarian support and supply weapons to destroy them". Absolute madness!
He did Not get inflation down ,it’s was energy and fuel coming down . So that’s a lie to start with .
Sunak’s claim that more aid crossings have been opened isn’t true as the Erez crossing to Northern Gaza remains closed.
It's (the ECHR) not a foreign court. The UK founded it and still runs it 😮.
Fararri knows this, but let the Tory get away with it, as usual.
Disgraceful bias.
@@rickyhay Spot on +1.
What about hostages held by Israeli which are in 1000s?
Did he just take credit for his stance on a ceasefire? This man is a worm.
I wonder why we’ve seen such a huge increase in retail crime? Might have something to do with how the richest people in this country (like Rishi and his mates) are getting richer by the day and poor people (like most of us) getting poorer by the day
Exactly
If you care about children why are so many living in poverty.
He just talks & talks & talks & talks and most of it is absolute b0llocks!
Why have they got members of the public on the phone lines and most of the questions are coming from Nick F?????
This along with the Suella Braverman interview was all cream puff, folks are annoyed and un satisfied because they want these Tory guest on the hot seat and very uncomfortable answering relevant questions from the master James O'Brien!! Oh by the way, saw the movie Scoop and it was terrific, Gillian Andersons role and makeup as The LBC'S Emily Maitlis was spot on.
Why not ask him about Alan Duncan’s comment, about CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS OF ISREAL
He's actually made the country worse and I thought that was impossible.
As he has said multiple times, the date of the General Election is entirely dependent on his “working assumption”. What a fine example of a democracy.
"When I got this job Nicklarse, we'd been through a tough time as a country, everyone had been through a tough time" said ex chancellor worth millions.
Who also made a great deal of money working in banking during the financial crash and probably contributed to it, only for his overpaid job to be saved by tax payer bailouts. Conman and grifter.
I thought when he asked about which NHS trust it was, he was going to say its unacceptable and he'd sort it out. Instead it was "AHA, its someone else's fault" - the Labour Party. Small Boats - France's fault, Waiting List - Junior Doctors Fault, Rwanda - ECHR's fault, Cost of living - Covid/Ukraine's fault. (definitely not Brexit).
