- As Labour launches its manifesto for the upcoming General Election, James O'Brien and Natasha Clark analyse Keir Starmer's pledges.
'It's like night and day.'
'The atmosphere could not have been more stark.'
'People are literally hanging off the rafters to hear from Keir Starmer.'
'There is excitement, electricity - genuinely people are beaming.'
'He said: "We don't have a magic wand. But what we do have...is a credible long-term plan."'
'A plan built on stable foundations with clear first steps.'
'He's clearly enjoying this campaign.'
'The response I'm getting is almost unanimously positive.'
'Did you get an apology from the Tories for being ignored?'

There seems to me to be an obvious line that they're missing. All they need to say is that it took the Tories 14 years to do all this damage to the country, it will take some time to repair it all.
But then people will wonder why Labour have not been in power for 14 years ………..
Was it the Tories or the people who voted for them? Voters are have take some of the blame too.
He doesn’t want to insult people who voted Tory. I suspect his tune will change.
Joe Biden was a conservative Democrat throughout his Senate career. But when he got into office, he immediately began advocating for and implementing some fairly liberal public policies. The main one was sending out even more pandemic-related government checks to US citizens.
We can see now that the massive Keynesian influx of cash into the economy pulled off by Biden was what stopped America from going down the economic tubes like many other countries after the pandemic.
True there is inflation but much of it is price gouging. Biden did not push against that form of blatant corporate theft until a few months ago - he’s a conservative. Recently, though, store prices have started to come down. Because Biden, under pressure from liberals, changed and started issuing veiled warnings about prices and corporate greed. That may have done the trick.
What have you heard that suggests they will repair it?
@@user-ke9dk4hs3u That's a different question. One of the big problems we've had is that the skillset and combination of qualities that win you elections doesn't correlate in any meaningful way with the skills and qualities required to govern effectively. The Tories have been far better at winning elections than they have at governing. Ideally there would be a much stronger connection between the two, but that's not where we are.
I assumed James was quite a big bloke but judging by that mug he must be tiny!
He needs a bigger mug.
@@montaguewithnail6372
how about anyone still willing to vote tory
It's not a mug. It is a bucket with a funny handle.
@@deanbarrett3225 Is there actually any of those left? They seem to be dwindling every day.
@@montaguewithnail6372 Here in West Berkshire there are still quite a few unfortunately, especially amongst the poorer sections of society. Seems to be the old "my parents always voted tory so I will always vote tory" ideology. I remember having many a fight with mine when I told them I would never vote Tory back in the Thatcher years, and that way of thinking still holds in this neck of the woods. They are your prime GB News believers and Sun readers.
Starmer needs to make PR a manifesto commitment. So sick of the elected dictatorship see-saw.
I think at most he can promise is a referendum with PR. Generally only people who pay attention to politics want PR, those who don't care about politics and voting don't even know how the current system works, let alone a major change to it.
Is it bad my first thought for PR was public relations, but then it clicked.
@@terry9819 I thought it was public relations, but it hasnt clicked. What does he mean?
Loool in what planet with a 300+ plus majority is labour going to do PR.
It's likely they will make the switch to PR. The FPTP system is so heavily weighted towards the tories with the constituency boundary changes that it's in Labour's interest to make the change
The reason we're struggling to grow is because what we have already is so unevenly distributed. Working people generate new wealth by producing things, and its much easier for them to do so when they have more resources (money). Where has all the money gone? The rich have it.
Its not the only issue although the Tories have done a lot to create a wealth divide. People are not inspired to work hard when they have to done 60 hours a week, their kids school is about to collapse and the beach is covered in sewerage.
Dave Spart speaks 😂😂
Growth? We gave up / sold off our manufacturing sector in the 80s. We sold off our utilities sector in the 80s /90s. Our biggest export is cash, to the foreign owners of whatever large companies are left. We're killing off our agriculture. The 'small entrepreneurs' Thatcher espoused have seen so many of their dreams crushed. Our traders are crushed by the weight & cost of bureaucracy post Brexit. A large part of the budget of government contracts goes on 'consultants'.
We have become the Golgafrinchan 'B' ark; telephone sanitizers, ad executives, hairdressers [ I won't denigrate nail bar technicians ] and the like.
Just as you don't fatten a pig by constantly weighing it, a small village doesn't grow by just bartering amongst its residents.
we need trade!
@@shaun906 And we need to generate something to trade with.
Well perhaps that's why they plan to creat a state owned energy company, to start getting utilities back.
Well said, wealth creation by any party is a bare faced lie
There have been other social hierarchies than the one we employ, some of them were very successful, even if there were massive problems.
For example in Japan there used to be 4 main classes of people. Now, there were many problems with this system, not least social mobility, but it is still an interesting study.
At the top you had the Samurai class. Military force, police, the providers of order. Directly under them were the peasants - people who allowed others to eat and continue living, farmers, fishers. Under them were artisans - people who gave life meaning, or provided housing, comfort and infrastructure. And right at the bottom were merchants.
Can’t really do anything with that, but it’s interesting to me. Civilisation has become very fixed in its thinking. What we value is a choice. Until we learn to value things outside of their monetary value again, I think we are locked in on this downward spiral.
Wealth creation means very little, until we know what its distribution looks like.
Nah, mat. You got that one back to front. If there is no wealth creation, there is nothing more to distribute.
How would you distribute the country's wealth, anyway? I can't wait to hear.
@@jacobcohen9205 Bold idea but you could make people pay a bit of their money based on how much they get and use it to fund services and help out the struggling and hungry.
@@totalvoid6234or even, based on how much they have.
Guess that must be impossible for some reason…
@@jacobcohen9205we already have massive wealth. We already created it.
More than ever before. And yet, more children in poverty…
@@danielthompson2561 The United Kingdom per capita has less wealth than most advanced countries.
There is no Treasure Chest full of gold being withheld.
The only way our welfare services, education, and NHS can improve is by creating more wealth. We can only do this by being more productive. Nationally, we lag far behind most of our competitors in output.
No other system devised anywhere has created wealth more efficiently than a 'free market-based capitalist' economic system.
Its use over the last thirty years has pulled hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty and would have made your eyes water.
Socialism and its economic model have failed whenever used anywhere on Earth.
It's not the answer.
Railways, energy company to help the citizens of the UK and not profits for investors, considering they have no plans they seem to have more to offer than the toriea
No competition = no need to innovate, improve, compete, enhance, transform, evolve….
No need to do any of that.
@@leefisher816 yes, because there's been lots of innovation the past few decades hasn't there?
I'd argue the opposite - no shareholders means no profit, and thus more money to put back into the system!
Privatisation without competition was always going to lead to high cost and poor service
@@leefisher816 how is the competition going ? Apart from shareholders are you seeing any benefits ?
@@stevec6427 That's the basis of all privatisations, profits before service.
As opposed to the Tax and Steal Party
There's nothing in this clip that analyses their manifesto, simply an acknowledgement that there's very little in it that sets out how they intend to raise the finance to fund their targets.
The people complaining about Labour need to take a look at the damage the Tories have done over the past 14 years.
YOU NOT SEEN ANYTHING WHAT LABOUR WILL DO YET.? THEN ONLY YOURSELF TO BLAME FOR VOTING THEM IN.!!!!!!!!
They are crazy 😂
Oh yes a decade of Tory lite coming your way.
I’m creaming my pants at the thought of pfi v2 and “stopping the boats”
Let’s see who they “grow the economy”
which is why i won't vote for more toryism, the greens are the only party offering hope
@@chrisspencer6502 I'm no fan of Keir, but is that the best you can do? Can you add some substance to your claims?
I think people get too hung up on “where’s the growth going to come from” because it’s a question that’s almost always impossible to answer. However, if long term, steady growth is your goal (and it should be) then investing in regular people, public services and sensible infrastructure is probably the best approach.
'long term' just means maintaining the current status for the foreseeable future
@@neonwired4978 No it doesn't because 'long term' in the current status quo = 0 growth and contraction.
The main thing to get the economy and public sector services going is money into the working class and into public services
Until it runs out like last time? I have no idea who to vote anymore
Easily the most narcissistic manifesto I've ever seen.
With 33 pictures of Starmer, it looks more like a celebrity calendar than a political manifesto.
I think it's clear to see that after losing several elections to pathological lying self serving malignant narcissistic unethical sociopathic criminal charlatans who use social media to spread disinformation and create toxic division and distractions so that they can cling to power in the most toxic/destructive/ darkest way possible and continue gaming the system while consciously overseeing the avoidable deaths of hundreds of thousands of people as part of their game as they see it, Labour decided to change strategy and play the game. I don't like it, but unfortunately we live in a country controlled by right wing media propagandist brainwashing disinformation spreading machines plus lazy minded hard of thinking ill informed electorates who embarrassingly regurgitate disinformation which is easily disprovable with 2 seconds of thinking or research. So others are forced to lower their standards in order to stand a chance of getting power.
If politicians want people to be better off RAISE THE PERSONAL ALLOWANCE. Up that to 15k and you have a few 100 quid more in peoples pockets per month.
Yea but to pay for that we would have to tax the rich a tiny bit more, can't have that they work far harder than us and deserve all their money!
100 quid wouldn't cover the increase in most people's bills. Costs are shooting up
It’s not just the Tories who want us all poor and living off the Govt teete.
@@markwelch3564 it would be an extra 2.5k a year so just over 200 a month extra for everyone, would be nice
If that was doable the "nice" governments of Scotland and Wales would be doing it already.
Why aren't any of them addressing the real problem... BREXIT?
The red wall voters are anti-European.
They are pretending that Brexit never happened.
What exactly about brexit needs to be addressed? Brexit ended way back. We need to make independent plans that don't involve Brexit again. They are talking about immigration , work etc, atleast sunak is stating how he will do it, wereeas starmer is full of wishes
We could do with a debate around returning the UK to the EU. After all, it’s the will of the British people according to polls.
How about infinite growth in a finite world...
Another way to put it would be there is no daylight between the tory party and the labour party.
I’m concerned that neither party are talking about the dire straits of our national finances or the Brexit fiasco which contributed to that state.
THAT! is an impressive mug!
Unless Labour learn from other progressive countries on drug abuse and crime, anti social behaviour will increase .
Yes immigration will stop alot of that vote for him no I won't worst than sunak
Like El Salvador? 😂
You mean unless Labour learn that an open door migration policy has an effect,all those issues you cite will increase
@@simonspeedo8122 No, they need to focus on the real causes of issues, not the easy and imaginary ones in your head. Immigration is if not quite the least of our problems, it's very low on the list.
Europe is moving Right, Starmer going Left,uk out on a Limb,interesting to see how it'll all pan out.
A "return to austerity" implies that we aren't currently under austerity. By what metric are we not under austerity?
Exactly.
Unless Labour plan to reverse austerity (they aren't) then it will continue indefinitely.
The biggest block to growth and reducing NHS waiting etc is the fact that Brexit has happened. Trade is going to be difficult and the desperately needed employees won't be leaving EU countries any time soon.
We are right on the cusp of real change for the first time in 15 years. Hopefully the right wing newspapers can't stop it!!
Stùrmer has courted the rightwing media! Let’s hope people see through his treachery!
No we aren't. Kid Starver is a Tory and is going to stick to Tory spending plans and justifying it by lying about there being no money left. He's unfit to be PM.
Why are we educated the World's children and leaving ours on the scrap heap?
How is the Labour party going to grow the economy without being in CU & SM? Deluded. Seriously.
Trickle down doesn't work. It never has. It won't with Labour at the helm. Its magical thinking.
They're not even proposing a trickle down economy 😂
@SimplySketchyGT They're wanting to grow the pie rather than redistribute the pie. The idea is the wealth will trickle down...
Hands up all the Tory apologists in the comments!
No ones apologising. Brainless people say what you just said. We need to analyse data presented at us, but lame people will think that means you an apologist😂
Extract your head out of the sand. Some of us gave the professional knowledge to realise what is coming is more austerity
Starmer also opened up on a topic he hasn’t shared much about: how he and his Jewish wife are raising his children to recognize their Jewish faith. Starmer, who succeeded Jeremy Corbyn earlier this year, said Monday that he was “brought up Church of England, loosely, and my wife’s family are Jewish, they came out from Poland.” As reported in The Times of Isreal 29 Dec 2020. He kept that quiet in the UK
*Starmer's Tory Labour are going to maintain the status quo. Prepare for no change and more NHS privatisation.* 🇬🇧🇪🇺
What privatisation? Taxpayers spend £182 BILLION on the NHS every year - and get nothing for it but a few rainbow flags. I don't even have a GP.
@@JupiterThunder The privatisation and sub contracting that's been happening since Thatcher. The NHS was the envy of the world once till Neo liberalism broke it.
@@JupiterThunder Contracts of public health care are bidded on by private companies. This is well documented and not hidden, look it up.
Just in case you missed it... ...his dad was a tool maker. A first class tool maker.
Guessing yours was too
@@robandrews8047 incorrect, Armed forces.
Labour offering little more than thinly veiled Trussonomics it seems.
The Earth's resources are limitless, so growth should be continuous and everybody can expect more of everything! I think that's right...err
Yes the concept of constant percentage growth independent of company size is mathematically exponential. This is incompatible with finite resources and so at some point must end in catastrophe no matter how large the planet is we inhabit.
the most simple idea to reduce the costof living is to mandate reduction of prices for private utilities, otherwise they get nationalized.
I do not understand why people object to rewarding people for hard work. I work 60 hours a week & struggle to pay my bills. There are many like me & we are disillusioned. No big surprise.
This might seem personal and don’t answer if you don’t want to, but do you drive to work every day and how far in mileage?
@@matthewburns7989 No actually I am very lucky, only 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk to work. My hours are in work. Most of my friends work similar hours & some have a commute too which is really hard. It seems long hours are an expectation for most these days, even if they are working from home.
Will you be voting Labour then because your taxes from pay packets are going up . Look at there manifesto tax, tax tax
This is all extremely important and all, don’t get me wrong but can we just take a second to appreciate that mug at 1:27?
It feels like a continuation of Tony Blair’s damage.
Which damage specifically are you referring to? Or are just using one of Sunaks throw away lines
When I hear people say he's boring, I smile to myself. After Johnson, boring is what we need because 'boring' equates to 'serious.' He is clearly a man of high moral standing and isn't that a breath of fresh air?
The thing that Labour needs to understand, is that most people aren't voting for them for anything in their manifesto, they're voting explicitly to remove the Tories.
Which is tres retro
There both the same

If there was a copper bottomed blueprint every country would be doing it.
You're assuming every single country has the same goal in mind. Some have the people in mind, some have the businesses in mind. Some believe that those are the same, some know that they aren't.
Most countries spend most of their resources attempting to convince us that this is the best there can be
Until Starmer stops supporting austerity there will be no change
According to a study by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a Labour government which refuses to raise taxes or increase borrowing will be faced with a hole in its finances to the tune of £18 billion, which it will only be able to make up by squeezing spending even further on already hard pressed public services. Austerity will continue under Labour
Labour are planning spending cuts to public services arent they? How will society improve?
Hello from a sunny-ish Bulgaria... just to let you all know.... The pound Today is the very best its been since 2016... and long may it be so.... !
It's misleadingly called "Change", when really Continuity would have been a more accurate title. Just the most uninspiring, insipid, unimaginative document, designed to stir up apathy.
'People are literally hanging off the rafters to hear from Keir Starmer.' - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah a ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa haaaaa haaa haaa haaa. When did you start stand up.
Our county is like a person who's home has been severely damaged by an incompetent builder who was supposed to fit a patio window and build a patio. But instead demolished the rear of the house. The said builder(Current government) is now telling the owner he has a plan and can fix it, because he's already put up a garden gate.
The new builder( Different government) has seen the damage and says they can fix the problem but it's going to cost. The old builder rebukes the new builders claim and says, He doesn't have a plan.
Both are making it clear that it going to cost the owner to fix the problem.
Which builder do you choose?
Ideally, I'd move house.
Growth will happen when you don't have people waiting for operations creating millions of sick days eating into company profits with sick pay
just 1 example
you point is repeated across the economy, sorting these out will take the tory boot of the economies throat! i think growth will come back fast!
And all the immigrants on Uber eats
Yes but the waiting list is so big, it's going to take something really special to get it down. Both parties keep claiming about cutting waiting lists but they never explain how.
@@haydenhoodless2055 they are buying new scanners, opening up shifts at the weekends. plus extra staff and no more strikes!
@@shaun906 New scanners will be a help, as for opening up shifts on the weekends and extra staff I mean that certainly would help, if they train and retain staff, but that's not going to be easy and it's not going to come over night. If Sunak could have done it so easily then he probably would have. There's no guarantee that Labour can end junior doctor strikes. They can try, but there's no guarantee that Junior doctors and a Labour Government will see eye to eye. There's no cast iron guarantees in that plan apart from buying new equipment.
She hates Starmer, doesn't she? She can't just say posotive things without a caveat
Difference between having the details to share and sharing the details. At some level, it is about trust in a leader's judgement about how to handle a new, changed, unfavorable, etc. situation. And how they plan to fill in the details as things evolve.
people do not realize the 3 system running britain,political,adjudication and the lethal prison system,whom let RULE 43's uses the white sheet
Has anyone had a chance to quiz the Sunak aide who tried to make a few bob out of the election date?
So University fees still rising?
Ofcourse thats his master piece of wealth creation😂😂😂😂
You can give the economy a shot in the arm using greater alignment to the EU, which we all know Starmer has been working on for some time. You can also do it through targeted immigration. He can hardly come out with this seeing as the press in general have no interest in the welfare of this country and he would be attacked for it. But he is a pragmatic man I think and is more likely to achieve growth because he will look at how to get it and not be prevented by prejudice and dogma. That is my hope anyway and what I will be voting for.
Starmer supports Brexit and the country doesn't...
Starmer getting better by the day
People keep saying 14 years of Tory chaos I can only go back when Boris Johnson tried to blag his way out of the cake and wine gatherings. Brexit was going to be difficult so what else happened.
Its a problem across the world. The lack of leadership, people that show grand idea's, show compassion and bring people together. Money and political donations have destroyed the political class. They live in a bubble and look at their past history?.
Its like fish and chips 😂😂😂😂
If you go back a few years and look at james , saying these immigrants don't get benefits . This guy is so far back that he can't see the future . Pillock !
It seems like Blairism is back in full force, judging by parts of the manifesto coming from the Tony Blair institute. You will either love or hate that.

Sort out the GP Service aswell.I have run out of heart medication and I can’t get anymore until I see a GP for an update(after 3yrs).Got the appointment 2wks ago and can’t see him until early July.
Oh Well I better just go away and die somewhere,is that the general idea ?
As someone who works in general practice I completely understand how frustrating it is to see a GP. Unfortunately because of the floodgates opening to skyrocket immigrants from outside the EU, there isn’t enough appointments due to lack of GP’s. GP’s and the rest of us staff are mostly left to rot in the back of a broken fridge and begging for scraps. Less pay than NHS staff, inadequate maternity policies and more responsibilities make it undesirable. On average the reception have about 1000 phone calls in the first hour at my surgery. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem as if your surgery have a separate team to manage repeat prescriptions and ensure you have your yearly health checks.
Write to your local PM it’s the Tories who have let the demand get out of control. Not to mention which young person wants to train for 12 years, be in over £100k of debt to become a doctor. Then have to pay for all of their ongoing training, plus their registration fee which is over £300 yearly to be lucky to have an NHS pension! Don’t forget they’re lucky to earn £45k a year.
If you are no longer under cardiology then you probably need to kick up a fuss at reception and ask the practice manager to prioritise you. Just remember it’s not the surgeries fault that they don’t have much to offer.
Sad but true
So Starmer saying we need to grow the pie, so everyone gets a slice? 🤔
Enough of all about the manifesto, did he tell you that his Dad was a toolmaker.
I love the way your contributor tried to inject a bit of the 1997 Blair pzazz to her introduction of Kier Starmer. Who's writing her scripts? The Labour Press Office?
Maybe she should give marks based on content than performance. Not sure they would be much different between labour and torries in terms of financial committments. This is why we need PR
Who doesn't love labour. ❤
Rejoin the single market = Growth, its that simple. But the british people have made the topic so taboo, so people don't want to say it; and starmer doesnt want to back himself into a corner cause it could be an election decider because you know Brexit......
Don’t mention brexit 😂😂😂
Jeez, the LBC Labour propaganda machine here. I'm not a party political person, I have voted for all the main parties over the years. I prefer the conservative manifesto this time around, for example, helping first time buyers and enticing landlords to sell their property to the people renting it and in this increasingly dangerous world committing to 2.5% spending on defence is essential for me. I wanted to hear about food security by developing a farming policy and an industrial policy in technology but no party has addressed that anywhere near sufficiently.
How about making the wealthy pay tax? Might be worth a go, just for a change..
Slowly you can hear the transition from the commentariats talking up the Tories to now talking up Labour. Got to keep those connections and "sources" sweet.

I hate that a lot of the positivity comes from how confident he was and how well he spoke. Seen it all before with the likes of David Cameron. From what I've heard he is promising nothing. He will just be another dishonest smug faced politician. He has already show he is a liar on many many things. But I guess personality gets you quite far.
I'd love to hear something different, nothing much sounds different to what the tories say. Maybe.....focus on poverty , redistribution of wealth and rejoining the E.U. , renationalising the water companies and railways.....I'm still going to vote for them tho as we have to get rid of the evil tories.
Working people stay home, don't go to work. Then we will see who the real wealth creaters are.

The sycophancy to the leader of Labour and next PM. Desperate to have access when they take office I assume? The manifesto was a disgrace. Virtually no increase in spending, no new revenue streams no change: Look at the IFS response. Details in full the absence of any real plan for change, but definitely further austerity, when Labour DO have levers they can pull, to generate income to tackle child poverty and the many other big issues.
I disagree that there aren't specific promises to grow the economy. All the commitments are linked to growth in some regard. Reducing housing prices should mean first time buyers aren't saving as much money, and more can go into the economy. The focus on the energy transition is them trying to get ahead of other countries in this emerging industry, if the technology becomes more efficient and cheaper then people have more disposable income. And reforming the bureaucracy of major infrastructure projects will mean that they will be much cheaper to build which means less taxes need to be collected and more of that money can go into the economy.
I hope I've shown that what is promised in the manifesto is all linked to growth. Whether it will actually work is something we'll have to find out if Labour gets into government.

Do exactly what the Tories would do and call it “change”
Wel,l you could always keep voting Tory, as that's going well, isn't it?
Have you actually bothered to read the manifesto?
Maybe turn the volume up on your TV and you will find out.
A Chinese billionaire pays way above the market rate for a London property, resulting in the exchequer getting a Stamp Duty windfall. Remind me why Starmer wants to shut this down?
Maybe the same reason why Sunak made millions out of The Bank of Scotland collapse while you and i paid for it out of our taxes.
Wishing it was worth voting another party, trust keir about as far as i can throw him. No one in my area that can approach the labour or tory vote numbers in their wildest hallucinations. Rather gouge an eye out than go blue so……

Of course he does

@@jimcourt9164 come three months after the election it be interesting to see his take on Politics.
I think if everyone is being honest with themselves, if you were to read the manifestos without knowing who they belonged to, you wouldn't pick the Tories or Labour. The Green Party has the best manifesto and if we had PR, they would do incredibly well. But in this election the aim is to get the Tories out so people are voting Labour because our voting system tells us that's the only choice we have to achieve that.
That's enough mixed metaphors James
Antisocial behaviour? Get Farrage out then 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
The woman who spoke about the labour atmosphere really needs to focus on important things. Nothing starmer said had real detail. It was full of what he wishes for and not how he will do it.
To fix problems you have to first admit they exist . The Tories think the last 14 years hasn’t created problems that need fixing.
Sunaks plan is more of the same.
