As Liz Truss is forced out of office, Britain will have its third prime minister this year. Whether it’s Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt or indeed Boris Johnson – who is plotting a return – this farce leaves Britain in an economic and soil death spiral. Only a general election gives this country hope of being prised away from the grip of these lunatics – but will the Tories ever allow an election which could wipe them out? And how much is the Tory crisis about something far more profound – a broken economic model that itself has to go?

Why Labour a just as bad – Scary
Labour is dead! Do you really think labour will ever be radical? They are as establishment as the tories. They will just tinker around the edges. Btw Starmer is a liar and will always be liar.
No
Thanks!
Voting is pissing in the wind
Owen, you either don't know the rules in your own country or you're smoking something. UK doesn't have a Constitution hence there is no way to deal with awkward situations like you have today when crooks and incompetents took over the government and can't be pushed aside … UK resembles of an African semi-dictatorship
Boris Johnson works for secret agents with you know who, Vladimir Putin with Tory fifthly Roubles and a sad situation indeed.
People need to march on the house of parliament and downing street demanding a general election now,,
The tories will block it
Yes we should have a general election as the Tories have f up the country how much more mess will they put us in.
Truss = weird flex
HE'S BACK, to deal with things like a boss, BRING BACK BORIS.
No Tories General election
No Tories General election
No Tories General election
GN- NOW!!!
Wow Fiaza is a double of AOC,in politics and looks, big up my sister.
Your video on the Labour Files NOW 😏😏😏
General election now
Whilst there remains a glut of German automobiles and carbon fibre bicycles on the roads nothing can or will change.
100% everyone should drag themselves to number 10 downing street and start protesting for a General Election to happen ASAP
I wonder if she'll ever be able to do Karaoke again.
Wealth taxes.
England 2022
1. An epidemic of child abuse
2. Mass poverty
3. Poor paid jobs
4. NHS horrific waiting times and doctors leaving
5. Schools with hideous teachers
6. No police on the streets
7. Food banks are the new norm
8. Conservative government are the new thicko party
I could go on and on and on
Welcome to broken Britain people who vote or support the torys are plain thick and uneducated
We won't get one.
Gary Stevenson interview is the best 🙌🙏
As a socialist I don't want Starmer as PM.
Part 3: If in the mini budget Truss and Kwarteng lacked a certain market “realism” it was that they believed in the “idealist” myth of the middleclass as not a class for themselves. So with reference to marginal exchange differences finally my Hume quote is “why should I choose the saving of millions over a scratch of my finger” (Hume’s Treatise translation modified: ). There is much more in your video and in the Broadbent speech, but that’s enough for now. Thanks to my local library and staff. Thanks for your time reading
The message they're sending out to the rest of the world, people in this country enjoy being abused by politicians. It doesn't matter what they do, they can still hold their position in government.
I often wonder if these things were happening in another country, would they accept it. Would the main stream media let it flight. Just asking.
Because this country is quick to judge others on politics, they should do this, they should do that, they have the blue print for what's right and what's wrong.
Won’t happen because the Tory’s don’t care about the public just their own interests.
There should be mass protests outside Tory HQ in London
How can we get a GE? Tories don't want one.
Get yer photo id 🪪 ready for voting
Faiza am legend
It’s great to see, as a one man band, even without pal to help you, being more articulate and intelligent than the whole of the tories put together.
Another fine broadcast by a master-commentator.
As an American who is too anxious to follow my own political disasters, I am suddenly becoming an expert on British parliamentary procedure and politics.
Her resignation was her best U-turn yet.
Be realistic, there is no chance for general elections now. Zero. Ziltch. Nada.
Hang on to your seats (this literally is true for MPs at the momentl 🙂 because UK is falling down a steep slope in the coming months/years. It might not emerge out of it as a union (NIexit? SCexit?)
Instead of wishful thinking, prepare yourself for a very cold economical winter (or drought… which ever metaphor works for you).
Thanks Owen!
To be fair, she said sorry…then off to spend her lifetime pension, lifetime bodyguards, lifetime expenses, lifetime connections…and you pay for it. democracy at it's best.
On two of your shows you referred to The Labour Files and promised you would do a show about it including an interview with Peter Oborne. Still waiting.
