‘Labour Govt Has COLLAPSED So FAST' | Keir Starmer Is A Complete MESS

Exercising your democratic vote is

massively important, Ian, isn't it?

>> Well, people died to defend our right to

vote in the Second World War. My father,

you know, put his whole life on the line

for five or six years to defend against

Nazi Germany and uh the suppression of

any voting rights that we might have

had. Our freedom, you know, as I always

say to lots of people, freedom is not

free. It's the most expensive item we

can ever have in our lives because it

costs lives to defend it. And you know

honestly I say to anybody who doesn't

vote and and gives up well if you give

up on voting you give up on life because

it's what we are about. And I know you

can get frustrated with politicians. I

am one. I know exactly how you can feel

about these things that people won't

change things and that you need change

but it does happen and change can happen

and things can be better and different

and we're going through a period of that

at the moment. So I do recommend people

get out there and vote. I mean I agree

with your caller. I mean, this Labor

government is in complete shambles. I've

never seen a government since I've been

in politics which has collapsed so fast.

Doesn't seem to have any concept of what

it's really about. On the one side,

they're literally dictating to us

through things like the net zero changes

and industry being told no matter

whether people want to buy their

electric cars, they have to make them,

thus losing money. All this sort of

stuff. They won't drill uh to get oil

and gas to strategic reserve. Why?

because their ideology against that is

so incredible. I mean, it's a it's part

of it's driven by ideology, the other

part's driven by no knowledge at all.

It's it's a complete mess. So, yeah, go

out and vote for God's sake.

>> I and I think there's a point in that,

you know, whatever one's political

leanings. This government got into power

for two reasons. One, complete

exasperation with the Conservative

government, your party, which I know you

share. And also one of the reasons is

and and look at Khn in London with

respect. There are 12 million people in

London. I think it was 17% voted last

time. So don't moan and to me

about London and and and net zero and

and and how much he congestion charges

and how he drives around in a

bulletproof Range Rover and the tubes

are a disaster if you're not prepared to

do something about it. And and I'm

absolutely with you. I I get really

exasperated, Ian, when people say

there's no point. There is a point.

There is absolutely a point because your

vote can make the difference.

>> Yeah, it is. It's true. I mean, I served

in the army. Why? What for? Because I

wanted to, you know, at the time be the

do the best I could for my country. And

I think it's important. Voting is

important. It only happens uh in council

elections in London, for example, once

every four years. And it happens in

government, you know, five years, once

every four or five years, depending on

when they call it. But the reality is

it's important. I just give you one

example. the last time we had to vote

for Khan, he was so unpopular that had

everybody turned out, you know, who was

against him, uh, we would no longer have

this ridiculous mayor who I think is in

national embarrassment. Frankly, I've

never I've never come across a

politician quite so selfobsessed as this

individual and who, you know, when

there's a a nasty crime, when there's a

problem, when there's some violence, you

know, you've got terrible street crime

problems, shoplifting crimes in London

level, but, you know, he he's never

there. But when there's the opening of

something where he can look popular and

everything else, he turns up. He turns

up to the opening of an envelope as far

as I can see. But not when the police

need support and backing. And I think

that's that's what you get when you

don't turn up and vote. You get this

man. I can't believe anybody really in

London. I've not met a single person who

maybe a Labour supporter or a

Conservative supporter or anybody you

name who ever says, "I voted for Khn."

And the answer is well if you didn't

vote that's as good as voting for K.

>> It's quite interesting a couple of

couple of different sides of the story

about what we're talking about.

Regardner says completely agree with

Ian. My father was a merchant seaman in

World War II and the one thing he used

to tell me every day when I was growing

up was that if you don't vote you don't

have a voice and said I didn't go to war

for you not to have your voice. It's

disrespectful. Use it. Interestingly

though, the other side of this Ian uh is

is Kitty and Hov. And I've had loads of

this this morning. I would absolutely

love to vote on Thursday apparently and

unfortunately we're not allowed to. I've

got to wait 3 years. That's a massive

travesty as well that there are still

areas of this country where people can't

vote and show their intention and what

they believe is happening in this

country, right?

>> Yeah. Yeah. It's a it's a shambles at

the at the moment. And the reality, if

you remember at the beginning of this

process, because these are local

elections, not Yeah. national in a

sense, but they're local. They're about

who's going to help you sort your roads

out, who's going to make sure that the

crime goes down on your streets, who's

going to be making sure that your shops,

you have proper shopping streets. I mean

right now we are under threat in all

these areas. You know some of the the

the uh charges on rates on shops and the

high street you know for all the blather

about we like to support the high

street. Some of them may rise by 50% in

the next year or two which is

astonishing that there's any shops at

all on the high street shoplifting

everything else. This is what they're

about. And of course they made a massive

mess. They they wanted a large chunk of

the country not to vote because they

they had managed to gerrymander a whole

bunch of changes to the electoral

process in certain key areas. And so

they said, "Oh, no, they won't be

voting." Well, the reality is that they

were found out over that and now most

people are going to get the vote. But

you're right, it's a peculiar patchy

system and we need to make sure that

everybody gets that right to vote, but

when they do, they do need to vote. I

don't don't want to lecture people

because we're all in the same boat about

this, but voting is important.

>> Uh the analogy can only leave me on

we're all in the same boat to the

headline in front of the sun today.

Every newspaper reporting it just one

small boat and the arrivals in 8 years

will hit 200,000 illegal migrants on the

day it's reported despite our prime

minister's one-in-one outplay. 7,612

have been deported and 200,000 illegal

migrants have come in. It's a record

toll. It's the size of York. And as I

said in the intro, public services,

belief in fairness, all of this is down

the drain. I ask you this, um, former

Conservative Party leader, a man with a

life before, but a political career

spanning many years. Um, do you

understand people who say to me, I am

sick and tired of hearing politicians

say, we'll stop the boats, we'll smash

the gangs, we'll make a deal, we'll do

this. I I feel love to know what you

think that somebody whoever that person

is needs to take on everybody in a very

hard-faced way. Uh get elected and make

some pretty tough decisions. Not ICE

like by Trump, but detain and deport and

throw people out this country and send

people to detention centers. I don't

think we'll have seen the like of it

before, but we are at a point where we
