- čas přidán 24. 08. 2023
- The Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer has had a meteoric rise from his humble beginnings in a small Surrey town. The Starmer household was a busy three-bed occupied by his parents’ four children and four dogs, and in 1985 he became the first to graduate in his family. In this episode of Full Disclosure, James speaks to Starmer live at the Leicester Square Theatre in support of Global’s Make Some Noise, LBC’s charity that supports small charities in local communities across the UK.

Well done Mr Starmer, now I know who you are and what you stand for. Got my vote
youve said it. exactly the reason im wasnt sure
I'm trying to imagine Boris Johnson or Rishi Sunak admitting to be this open.
He was asked, "have you ever felt gifted in some field?" and he just said... no. No, he hasn't, but that's because he doesn't think about himself that way. What a great answer.
Anybody can be open when they're not saying anything. He constantly changes his mind, that's why he's called sir flip flop. And I'll never forgive him for standing shoulder to shoulder with Corbyn.
@@fang_xianfu you have a very loose definition of the word great.
@@fang_xianfu you have a very loose definition of the word great.
@@georgemorrison4064 There aren't any perfect politicians and I'm still holding back my opinion on him for when he's in power. Anyway, he told a lot of personal life stories that came across as genuine, he didn't um and ah, they came straight from him. That's all I'm referring to. Johnson and Sunak just straight up lie all the time. There's a lot of hatred aimed at him through blind loyalty to one view or another, though.
Thanks for re-publishing this. I missed it with all the turbulence of the last 18 months
Interesting that this has been re-published. I wonder why🤭
He needs to do much more of this.
What he needs is some actual policies.
He's a Tory with a red rosettes and is in the pockets of the same billionaire/millionaire capitalists as them, too.
He won't re-nationalise anything either. Bad news.
@@GleebyDawk I think you are mad if you prefer the tories to him.
We have heard enough lies
Yeah I think your mad why you watching it if you can't stand him
Oh clever James O’Brien you have revealed to Kier Starmerr exactly what he needs to do to allow us to see what kind of a person he is. And you have done it so in such a skilful way that it has enabled the Penny to drop for Kier Starmer to recognise this staring in the face datait; such a vital moment that he must pivot to make it a reality.
Starmer is an establishment man from head to toe. His failure to do anything about Saville or grooming gangs tells you he's in the club...
"A man for whom I have no regard!" .......well done Keir, me too! ✊
As a fellow Keir, albeit one from Canada, I wholeheartedly endorse this video. Incidentally, although not Rodney, my middle name is also my father’s name.
What a great interview. Keir gets accused of being kind of bland and a bit of a non-person but I came away from this with a much better understanding of him as a person. I think he cracked more genuine jokes in this one interview than his political opponents have in their whole careers!
The one with Angela was great too though she definitely has never been called bland!
His mum and dad sound nice people and the great dance story was cool. Reminds me as a kid when we went on holiday. The car was so packed out and the roof rack and the trailer, the they realised the dogs couldn't fit in!
"I think he cracked more genuine jokes" Electing a comedian last time really worked out well.
The Independent's article on how the Corporate side of the Labour Party conspired to sabotage Jeremy Corbyn's leadership so that he would lose to Theresa May who they preferred and be replaced with a more corporate friendly leadership like Tony Blair. The truth is Starmer and his ilk preferred Boris Johnson than real actual help for the working class and unless this corporate capture of the Labour Party is rooted out it will be more of the same. Wars, corporate greed and the hollowing out of Britain for the benefit of the 1%.

James is awesome with his content. I watch every day from Michigan USA. 😻😻
Gawd you must be depressed.
Nope. Not depressed.
It’s ever likely American politics is in the state it is, if you let Obrien shape your point on view. Try and spend more time looking at the facts and not just soaking up presenters biased rhetoric. Don’t just listen to people you like. Their actions give away their true intent.
Straight off the bat mocking Johnson over having too many kids he doesn't care about. 😂
Warning...Serious issues are not included in this conversation....
Prior to this I was largely indifferent about KS. This was very helpful.
And since this Kier has backtracked on pretty much all of the promises he made that put him in the position he’s in.
Do you understand how elections work? @@karlhinze
@@mmcfarlane001 Er, yes. Obviously. What’s your point?
How will he improved society in times of austerity without taxing the rich? It cannot happen.
Thats a tory lie. Keir has had to postpone some because you tories have crashed the economy.
At last! Someone qualified. A man worthy of high office. All the best Sir Kier!!
🤮
Dignity. Thankyou Kier. Something I have never herd with feeling from the Tories. ❤
The tories just take the public for granted where’s I really feel kier and the Labour Party don’t
Lovely interview Keir Stamer is coming across very humble and human, quite witty not dull as the Tabloids would what you to think 💬 I sincerely hope he becomes PM after the next general election? 🙏 So normal compared to the narcissists in the conservative party.
I have met Kier - He really needs to get out more, he needs to go not just to Leeds, but Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Grimsby, Hull, Bristol, Exeter and York... he needs to go to his Country...
Last time he turned up in Liverpool he was berated by a proper Labour supporting constituent for backtracking on every pledge he made to become leader. He just sat there speechless wishing he was somewhere a million miles away from Liverpool at that moment. My guess is he won’t be back this way anytime soon. That’s what a disingenuous chancer gets when trying to pull the wool over the eyes of a proper Labour city.
@@gavleopardi70 Well, Liverpool is the City of Resistance...its how they roll up there.

@@balibelle63 Thanks 😊👍
Something twitched my nerves when Starmer uttered the words fiercely loyal. I dont think Corbyn would agree.
Just as Corbyn has no idea what the word means !.
He said fiercely loyal to friends. That is an important difference.
@adamturowski3765 Starmer once listed Corbyn as a friend then subtly denied it when things were coming down. Also, watch how he has purged the left..
@@ogribiker8535there's a difference between blind loyalty and critical affection for ones country, I'd argue the latter is what changes things for the better.
Nationalism is loving your country no matter what, patriotism is loving your country enough to point out its flaws to fix them

Starmer’s back tracking and U-turning has been his undoing slightly over the last year or so. Yes, he’s a fence sitter, he’s a little grey and boring, he doesn’t stand for much, outwardly at least - but he knows he could just shut up, let the music play and still win a GE.
The Labour Party is often like this, and Starmer particularly so… to borrow from that old Groucho Marx joke ‘these are my principles, and if you don’t like those .. well, I have others!’ It’s Starmer in a nutshell.
Starmer will be better than any Tory Prime Minister. However, Starmer lacks the integrity, charm and perception of hope to win convincingly. You can't really blame Labour voters for finding his message uninspiring. It's Labour's responsibility to inspire voters at the end of the day. I voted for Corbyn and Miliband. I'm not motivated to vote for Starmer like many others though. There's a reason we feel like this.
@@TheAjrclark my dear fellow - Starmer is a Tory PM! He’s just wearing a Labour leader hat at present.
He’s most certainly centre-right leaning. On most things. Believes in the integrity of the establishment institutions we have, the tradition of them… he’s from that world professionally, which is very central tenet of conservatism. Andrew Sullivan, the Anglo-American journalist, sat next to Starmer at Reigate Grammar school in Surrey and said much the same.. he was even back then, a young small-c conservative in many ways.
In fact - the things he actually seems to stand for, which are hard to even parse out, are more conservative in many ways. They certainly don’t pertain to the propagation of the working class particularly.
....perfect summation for once.....!
@@chatham43 well, when did the Labour Party truly stand for the working class? Not for a long time. It treats them with contempt more than anything. Sad.
Absolutely fantastic, every thing I would want in a prime minister I have just heard.
You've set a very low bar...
You want a lying tyrant?
He’s not a show of, not a Narcissist that’s what we need right now. It’s called humility. Deeply lacking in politics.
He has much to be humble about unfortunately.
Truly enjoyed delving into the persona of Keir Starmer - quite the impressive leader in the making, I must say. Grateful to James O'Brien for presenting this wonderful opportunity to explore and learn.
If he were alive , Jimmy Savile would agree.

"Thanks for chiming in," I say with a grin,
A chance to connect, let the conversation begin.
Let's steer toward the light, away from the shade,
Where ideas take flight, and respect won't fade.
Though paths may diverge, opinions take flight,
In sharing our thoughts, we can find common sight.
So let's leave behind jests that can hinder and fray,
And focus on insights that brighten our day.
In discourse we thrive, when kindness we share,
A respectful exchange, showing that we care.
So join in the dialogue, let's rise above din,
"Thanks for chiming in," as the journey begins.

Google Kier Starmer +Broken pledges...
He told a pack of lies to dupe party members to elect him leader...
He made pledges, all of which he dropped...
He said he Wasn't a Zionist... then promised to "rip out" antizionists...
He conflates antizionism with antisemitism... then purges the former, claiming he is fighting the latter...
He claims Israel is Not an apartheid state...
He flip-flops and U-turns on topics so much he must surely suffer a nose bleed...
"Impressive" is Not the word... "shameful"... maybe...
Zionist just about sums him up...

@@jeffsimon9594 Here's a thing...
I'm an intelligent person who, for example, has no interest in horse riding.

Superb interview. This was a revelation. Definitely, we need more of this.
Brilliant interview. Really enjoyed it from start to finish. Not sure what all the hand wringing is about in the comments, this isn’t a political interview.
in what universe ? disagree sorry.
Yeah imagine expecting a politician being interviewed and asked about politics
Everything is political and if he had said anything worth listening to it would have been controversial, which he is trying to avoid at all costs.
I'll take him as he is. Who was it that said "with life as tough as it is, sometimes it seems more like showbiz."
Is this a new interview or the one with James from last year?
New.
Last years
I wish they'd have published this when it was actually first released not 1.5-2 years later :( I tried finding it on the Internet. Anyway it's nice to finally be able to watch it
Yup. Boring. Obrien just a fanboy here.
"O'Brien" - I have difficulty dealing with people that can't even use a spell checker or just proof read their comments as they post them.
2/10 - must try harder.
Injustice? Not much to propose for the Palestinians, don't we Keith?
"If there is injustice we must fix it!"
Unless, you are expecting a third child while on benefits, you are a teenager being caught with a small amount of non-A class drug, you're an asylum seeker, nurse, teacher, farmer or a single parent. Rayner should be the Labour leader.
Wouldnt disagree with your opinion Rayner should be leader. But the fact is, its going to be Keir as leader vs Tories. As frustrating as those things may be, they have all suffered in the past 12 years and none will improve in the future under the Tories.
This obsession of us on the left to ONLY support the exact thing that we 100% agree with is the exact reason why we are in this Tory/uber capitalist mess. If you guys want to keep up the destructive criticism from within... it's your choice, but I for one am done with the self-inflicted misery. Keir is a competent guy whi can WIN and change SOME things. Let's take it one step at a time, shall we?
Jezz loves welfare breeders and his mate John loves the IRA. That was a big, big part of losing the red wall. But if it's easier for you to blame the Daily Mail than face reality, go ahead.
Unless working people's livelihood's, lives and families have been harmed and destroyed by the wrongs of Brexit and Covid. The first was a choice, the second could have been made less worse than it was. A public inquiry into the UK government's response to the outbreak is ongoing at the time of writing, the lessons have to be learned and applied at the earliest opportunity. Refusing to recognise the mistake of withdrawing from the EU and refusing to correct it by preparing to apply fixes nothing, and leaves a gaping wound. This is not rational behaviour.
@@AnaInTh3Sky There are many things I can overlook, but throwing trans people, of which I know many, to the wolves isn't one of them.
I've recently fallen into the trap of believing that all politicians are the same. This interview has reminded me that's absolutely not the case. Kier will make an excellent PM.
Keir will fix it for you and you and you
No fierce loyalty to Mr Corbyn though. A friend one moment and then ostracised the next.
A friendly interview and interviewer in Mr O’Brien, which isn’t his style when interviewing most political figures and his line “ I hope you will be busy soon” is telling
brown lipstick in the corporate suite
Fantastic interview. I have a much better understanding now of who Keir Starmer is, how he came to this position. I thought Keir came across as very humble in what he had achieved so far in life. This is not the image that I have been come to understand through the media. Once again this goes to prove to myself, how politics are swayed by the English media companies.

Totally agree. Even the worst and most cynical interpretation of the current Labour party is still orders of magnitude less harmful than the status quo...
if you concede to keir youre not on the left
@@trevfindley5704 Starmer is the status quo.
Starmer's the exact same as the Tories. All the policies are the same.
@@abigailweir7287 don't know if you noticed, but the status quo involves constant low level donor based corruption, maximising divergence from the EU, and wasting money on culture war non-issues. All of these things will be reduced significantly under a KS government.
That was the point of the original comment.
KS may not be all things to all people, but he's the only alternative on the table, and definitely represents an improvement.
Brilliant, dear James, as always. Annaxx 1:02:38
Did that rather tight jacket used to fit you James? 🤣
...James not watching the pounds...?😊
The thing is with Kia I see him in a powdered wig and a pink jacket like the prince Regent.
The interview is similar to Angela Ryana interview, it's about his history, so why the criticism about the questioning and not Angela' interview.
Then let Julian out if you get the power.
"If there is injustice we must fix it!"
- man who has said he won't repeal Tory policies.
What is deemed an injustice will be decided by his boss Rupert Murdoch
He’s saying whatever he thinks he needs to in order to oust this current cabal. Pretty difficult to see that as a negative.
He doesn't need to repeal them to neutralise them and make them ineffective. Repealing them would just waste precious parliamentary time when there are much, much more important things to do.
It's telling that when we have such an awful government, you choose to defend them by attacking their only opponent.
@@wofutokeratiyou'd think so wouldn't you?
But then imagine saying in a comment that Murdoch's his boss after having heard his testimony to the Leveson inquiry. We're obviously dealing with galaxy brains here...
@@wofutokerati so he can say anything and win at ANY cost?
Red rosette hiding a blue one underneath.
Why doesn't he stand as Tory then ?
Yawn
You can’t trust any of them.
He thinks tory policies are going to solve the mess tory policies have caused
Starmer is really the only chance England has of coming back from the Tory dystopia of today, but then I wouldn't expect most of the negative commenters below to realise that.
He’s got all the personality of a chair leg, and I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He lied numerous times in the first 15 minutes of this.
Would still take him over Sunakers.
Are you implying that the negative commenters are too thick to be able to view Starmer as the UK's saviour? Maybe we are actually astute enough to see him for what he is, and it is you who don't realise he is a snake.
Counting not your strong point ? Look at your ballot paper, you'll see we have more than one Option.
Starmer won’t do anything for this country, they’ve convinced you swapping from Tory to Tory lite every decade or two is doing you a favour.
Not one politician you elect will see out the will of the people, they will continue to dictate to us what our will is and what’s best for us.
Until people wake up and realise it’s the political system that needs to change nothing is going to get better in British politics.
I agree, Starmer is our only chance. That's why we are completely f'#@ed and most likely in for another Tory government :( it's a shame because he seemed so promising start.
Fabulous!
The thumbnail alone one this is just ridiculously hilarious! What miserable shame that we’re gonna have to put up with this pile of ambition wrapped in skin for the next however long. When are we going to have a prime minister who actually wants to change the country for the better?
And change it some the minority demographic can get their foot even more in the door, whilst making the majority into a minority
Remember: James didn't like Corbyn because he would give him an interview. Looks like it's more important to massage egos that make plans to fix the country.
I'm not sure that's the reason why he didn't like Corbyn...

Question I ask myself at 1:30 in, do I have the stamina, the constitution, the patience, to sit and watch James "When Presented With New Evidence I Change My Opinion" O'Brien for another hour as he toadies around softball questions for Starmer while studiously avoiding any stain of culpability for Corbyn.

Integrity? That`s a funny word. WHy do`t we hear more about it? Rarely mentioned in the House of Commons.
starmer is tory
Like Jim'll Fix it.
Even if Kier were right wing, which I’m not saying he is, then his party represents a non corrupt right wing party who haven’t been totally bought by their donors, who can focus on improving the country rather than just trying to make their friends and donors rich. Whatever you think of him, he’s a lot better than the tories and the country needs him to win
The labour party has been donated 20m more from large companies than the conservative party for the first time In their history, membership and public donations at an all time low for labour, and kier having dinner with Rupert Murdoch doesn't seem suspicious at all.
But yeah, labour totally haven't been bought by the economic elite 😂
starmer is already on the take, more corporate gifts in his few years as opposition leader than tony blair had in his entire premiership, (and tony mostly matched the gifts he did get with commensurate charity donations). In fact with almost 30000£ of bribes in his pocket, his total gifts since 2020 add up to more than the last 4 labour leaders took in the 20 years before that. Also look how much funding starmer,wes streeting and other pro-corporate labour MPs have already received from the same private healthcare and shadowy telecoms companies that donate to the tories. Tory politics and tory personal character are inseperable im afraid, back in the old days we had a word for it....selfish...hmm not quite...immoral...nearly....ahhh!

you made that comment (at the time of writing this comment) 41 min ago. The first comment on this section was posted 58 min ago. The interview was uploaded 1hr ago. When did you manage to listen to the full 1 hour and change and then comment? I wonder...
James' objective with these interviews isn't to confront and debate. It's to get the person to open up and show a different side of themselves that's not normally shown to the public.
@Ashok_Regiment Go back and read my reply. I never claimed to have listened to the whole 1 hour interview, I listened to all the questions which you can do by doing this magical thing called scrolling. I listened to all the questions and made a judgement on them. Learn to read, learn to think and engage brain before writing.
This interview was so long ago. This Keir installed a sliver of hope, now we just have a soulless labour party who are just Tories in disguise. Such a shame to see the lack of any vision under Keirs labour, pandering to the Tory voters. I get the game, and what you need to win, but how much of your soul is enough to sellout - Never thought I would hate Keir & the labour party with the current Tories in power, now I genuinely think labour offer absolutely nothing in comparison. Here's hoping for a hung parliament!!!
Oh please, it's this kind of sentiment which has kept the Tories in power for so long. To say they are Tories in disguise is exactly what the right wing press want you to think. If you can't see a difference between the years of labour and the years of conservative rule (don't know your age of course) then you're not paying attention to reality.
Great interview
Keeping Scotland or any country tied to the UK when the people want to leave is an injustice, what are you going to do about that? Also when will he stop expelling the left wing Labour MPs?
Banging on about a politicians education, childhood etc is half the problem these days. I couldn't give a toss. I wish for someone who has a credible level of intellect and political vision to improve this country. Not sure Starmer is it based on this and we know Sunak isnt either. Both parties are scraping the barrel.
I mean, by the time I was 5 in the 1970s, we were essentially middle class. So I have no axe to grind. The fact that this guy's donors, regardless, still have an axe to grind.... bothers me. He should see it. And he doesn't.
O Brien is just a mouthy faux lefty. When push comes to shove he is establishment
And this os the man you believe is going to save our country 😂
Tony Blair is already rubbing his hands with glee 😂
why? what did he say that makes you think otherwise? or is it something he did?
You've more faith in the tories? This sounds like a personal gripe over intellectual analysis of the options 🤣
The Tories aren't going to save the country they've caused it all 14year's and look at the mess we are in .
The Independent's article on how the Corporate side of the Labour Party conspired to sabotage Jeremy Corbyn's leadership so that he would lose to Theresa May who they preferred and be replaced with a more corporate friendly leadership like Tony Blair. The truth is Starmer and his ilk preferred Boris Johnson than real actual help for the working class and unless this corporate capture of the Labour Party is rooted out it will be more of the same. Wars, corporate greed and the hollowing out of Britain for the benefit of the 1%.
The system works.
James O'Brien had the perfect opportunity to end it on his quip
obrian is a tory
James didn’t do his homework.When he was at Public Prosecutions he was involved in some scurrilous activities.Reading “The Starmer Project” you might get an inkling into his personality.This was just a puff piece!
James is very cosy with Starmer..almost a sycophant. This is just Obrien’s way of presenting Starmer as a man of integrity and compassion. Obviously, a lot of people will fall for the image they see on the golden screen. Fine words butter no parsnips. We need to look at what he actually does rather than the image.
Not recognised in Scotland
why are the video and audio quality so bad? LBC depends on audio quite a bit or so goes the rumour. Come on lads fs
Mine seems perfectly fine, might be something on your end fella
Starmer presided over too many injustices as CPS boss to wash his hands using lame excuses.
This man is a Labour politician? What a farce.
Unbelievable Starmer the spawn of you know who
thaaaaaaaaaaaatchaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
such softball questions James, come on
