00:00:55.280Well, if you want the world's news, you can wait for the news to happen.
00:01:13.460Or in this case, you can go to Donald Trump's social media platform.
00:01:18.240Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that Keir Starmer, the UK prime minister, had confirmed
00:01:23.700He was stepping down today. The final humiliation from Donald Trump, who had basically been at some sort of political war, a moral war, a sense of humor war, a social media war against Q Starmer from the very beginning.
00:01:38.520um his successor is already in place Andy Burnham is the name he was the mayor of Manchester who
00:01:46.700just won a by-election about a week ago and he's universally uh been anointed by the party to take
00:01:54.120over from Keir Starmer no general election he just won a by-election a week ago it really reminds me
00:01:59.440of how Mark Carney just took over from Justin Trudeau and they had some internal process and
00:02:04.780wham bam thank you ma'am it was done now just like Trudeau was awful Keir Starmer was awful but it's
00:02:11.700incredible that he got as low in the polls as he did in just two years Trudeau took longer than
00:02:17.020that Starmer had a really bad social style at least to me he always seemed plastic and fake
00:02:25.300there was nothing real underneath there he looked sort of stunned the whole time or maybe that was
00:02:31.100me projecting on him that he would just brazen things out. It obviously didn't work. He had the
00:02:37.220lowest polls of any recorded prime minister. Keir Starmer mentioned me, not by name, but a few weeks
00:02:43.880ago, actually more than a month ago, when I was due to go to the United Kingdom to attend and
00:02:48.680observe one of Tommy Robinson's rallies. Keir Starmer announced that me and about a dozen
00:02:54.660others would simply be banned because we were friends with Tommy Robinson. Here's his speech
00:03:00.660on that and you'll see it again on saturday at a march designed to confront and intimidate
00:03:06.740this diversity and this diverse country that is why this labor government will block far-right
00:03:14.020agitators from traveling to britain for that event because we will not allow people to come to the
00:03:19.460uk to threaten our communities and spread hate on our street yeah it's sort of crazy i mean he
00:03:25.780like so many other politicians is a lawyer but you know there's a lawyer there's a certain way
00:03:31.080of thinking as a lawyer you think about what rights are what powers are what limits are i mean
00:03:36.600i think thinking like a lawyer can be a good thing but there's also a terrible way to think
00:03:40.920like a lawyer which is to over lawyer things and to come up with excuses for doing or not doing
00:03:46.720things and that's really what he was he used to be the head of the crown prosecution service the
00:03:51.860top prosecutor. And you could really see that in how he used those powers. For example, he did his
00:03:57.340best never to prosecute rape gangs, but he would sue into submission any conservatives or right
00:04:04.620wingers who criticized, for example, the Islamification of society. It was a real two-tier
00:04:09.420system. In the end, he only had tears for himself, though. He had no tears for any of the other
00:04:17.720tragedies of his tenure just for himself. Take a look at him crying for the real victim here,
00:04:24.400Keir Starmer. When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most
00:04:31.460important job. Being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Vic, who has been a rock by my side
00:07:36.460Like there's a group of islands called the Chagos Islands or Diego Garcia, as Americans know them.
00:07:42.640There is a key military base there that the U.S. uses, including for its B-1 bombers.
00:07:48.540In some bizarre third worldism, Keir Starmer wanted to give those NATO bases, give that Chagos Islands back to, I think it was Malaysia or Indonesia, I've forgotten the country, and to pay them billions of dollars.
00:08:03.740To give them back the land for this key military base and to pay them.
00:08:11.880They were even contemplating slave reparations.
00:08:14.600The British Empire, which ended slavery as we know it.
00:08:18.540That's how crazy it was. Other things that we've been copying here in Canada, for example, Keir Starmer proposed to have Internet ID for adults.
00:08:26.540And he said it was for kids. But the way to sort kids and adults is to test everyone's age.
00:08:31.540So you would have to sign in before using the Internet as if they wouldn't track you.
00:08:36.400It's a bad idea. We're copying here. And, you know, I really don't think that there's a lot of consistency.
00:08:41.880See, the same Keir Starmer is fine with children undergoing transgender surgery,
00:08:47.800but he won't let a teenager on social media.
00:08:50.660By the way, about 30 Brits a day are arrested for things they write on Facebook or Twitter.
00:09:52.040And like I say, with the Islamification of the demographics of the UK, other policies tend to change too.
00:09:57.380For example, the U.K., which for a generation was a key supporter of Israel, now declared under Keir Starmer, just like our Mark Carney did, support for the sovereignty of Palestine.
00:10:08.500And he did that when Hamas was still holding hostages in the Gaza Strip.
00:10:13.780Just incredible, again, for domestic reasons.
00:10:16.700There's other policies that are just inscrutable, like his decision to attack farmers and declare an inheritance tax.
00:10:23.580So if a son would take over a farm from his father, they would have to sell the farm in order to get the required liquid funds to pay the debt.
00:10:34.120Just absolutely a war on farmers, a war on food, similar to the war on cheap energy, amongst the highest electricity prices in Europe because of their insane net zero schemes, banning fracking and investing in uneconomic windmills.
00:10:51.280Another example, just to throw one at you, is the war against pensioners.
00:10:56.720Related to the relief they would get over fuel subsidies in the winter, just very strange.
00:11:02.920In recent days, you're not even going to believe me when I say he said that the Brits needed to kill hundreds of wild ponies.
00:11:11.600I mean, I suppose after the list of things I just went through, I went through about 10 different terrible policies that cumulatively have alienated the vast majority of Brits over the last two years.
00:11:23.600And just on his way out the door, he said, what could drive my numbers down lower?
00:15:03.940Now, there are three factors why this happened.
00:15:07.400And I think the first factor, the first two factors I think we understood already. The first one was that he's pretty popular already in the North and people wanted to sort of give him a chance. You know, there is that there, you know, give him a chance, you know, to start running things. So there's that factor.
00:15:24.300Factor number two was the coalescence of an anti-reform tactical voting from the left.
00:15:32.040So basically the Tories, the Green Party, the Lib Dems basically got no votes and all of the sort of left wing vote went to Labour.
00:15:38.640Now, and the third key factor, which is, I think, why his vote numbers were completely underestimated by the polls and by everybody else and by myself included, is that people wanted to get Starmer out immediately.
00:15:52.900you know this is what reform had been running on their campaign in the local elections was vote
00:15:57.500reform get starmer out and i think that's why um because keir starmer was such an unpopular prime
00:16:02.600minister and they saw by putting the burnham in right now you know actually this is the way to
00:16:07.680just you know chop off the starmerite head immediately in one swift blow i think there
00:16:12.940are quite a few people who apparently said on the doors that i'll be voting reform in the general
00:16:16.600but voted wanted to vote labor now specifically frandy burnham to get rid of keir starmer and
00:16:21.580obviously that's what we've seen happen this morning you know Keir Starmer crying at the podium
00:16:26.000uh saying how proud he was and everything he's done and um it looks like it's going to be a
00:16:31.260correlation for Andy Byrne as Prime Minister West Streeting who was expected to challenge
00:16:35.720Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership and suggested he had done before um has after after
00:16:41.640Keir Starmer has stepped down uh this afternoon said that he would be backing Andy Byrne for PM
00:16:46.340so it doesn't seem like we might even not have a Labour leadership contest it seems like it might
00:16:50.580It'd be a straight up coronation for the king in the north.
00:16:54.080Well, you know, when Justin Trudeau was replaced unceremoniously by his own party, a party that he had led for a decade, it was as if he was immediately forgotten.
00:17:06.520To use the phrase by George Orwell, he was put in the memory hole.
00:17:10.360Everything about him was forgotten, erased, because he was so personally unpopular and associated with so many bad things.
00:17:16.940It took he was like the liver of the body for the Liberal Party in Canada.
00:17:22.620It took him 10 years to get that toxic. Keir Starmer did it in a fraction of the time.
00:17:28.340Are there any significant differences in terms of policy between Keir Starmer and Andy Brunham?
00:17:34.580I don't know that much about Andy Brunham other than, like you say, he was the mayor of Manchester.
00:17:38.480And, of course, you know, he's a labor leader, so he has left his views.
00:17:46.380But on some of the signature items for Keir Starmer, censorship, government ID to get on the Internet, his war against conservatives, his prosecution of anyone who says mean tweets, his belief in net zero.
00:18:08.240I mean, I suppose this is sort of a standard leftist menu. Is there any important difference, Jack, between the new incoming PM Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer?
00:18:20.640Is there any important difference? I think no. And now Burnham has been presumed to be someone that's more on the left of the economy than Starmer.
00:18:28.400Starmer is considered to someone who's been a bit more to the right sort of of the Labour Party.
00:18:33.080Now, Burnham has said many things about wanting to rejoin the EU, wanting to break the fiscal rules and basically bring in more borrowing.
00:18:41.600I think what we'll see probably from Burnham is more of a borrowing and redistribution of wealth to the north of England, the peripheries outside from the southeast,
00:18:51.060from the main sort of productive areas of the country, sucking out productive capital and giving it to the peripheries of the country.
00:18:59.800probably and that that's sort of summing up and what manchesterism uh is um but on on that you
00:19:05.860know he's actually been flipping back and forth multiple times on many of the things um he cares
00:19:11.140about like just to get elected he is right now all things to all men one of the biggest crucial
00:19:15.480differences sort of before the by-election uh that with people on the right here were worried
00:19:20.280about was that um keir starmer uh with shabana mahoud as his sub-secretary was going to put in
00:19:26.180ilr reforms that's indefinite leave to remain meaning that people would have to wait 10 years
00:19:31.540not five years in order to wipe in order to apply for british citizenship and this would apply to
00:19:36.860the boris wave who'd come over so we were worried that if burnham would come in and then chop chop
00:19:43.060away at those reforms that would be a disaster and people who are who are the boris wave now
00:19:47.580would be able to get uh citizenship and you know it would could be a disaster on that front but
00:19:52.580There seem suggestions that he's going to keep Mahmood as his same secretary.
00:19:57.100And even before the by-election, just a week or so before the by-election, he said, no, actually, I think I think I wouldn't scrap the ILR reforms.
00:20:03.420So he's been back and forth on it. So, you know, he seemed at the face of it to be the left wing of Keir Starmer.
00:20:11.220I think he may be slightly economically, slightly more redistributed, slightly more welfarist.
00:20:15.880But on all of the key issues, I don't think he will be.
00:20:18.380And obviously he's been able to get able to be so popular as a mayor of Greater Manchester by just doing things like nationalizing and taking the public the public transport network under public ownership, for example, and doing these things that you can just easily do and yet to be popular as mayor.
00:20:35.500But because I think, frankly, his policies and the way you will govern will be substantively have no difference between Keir Starmer, that his popularity will plummet.
00:20:45.500It's already starting to go down from the by-election.
00:20:48.080So I think within six months or so of him being prime minister, his honeymoon period will be over and will be hated as much, if not more so, than Starmer is now by the general public.
00:20:58.560Now, one of the former Labour leaders, Jeremy Corbyn, was accused of being far too chummy with Islamism, and he was credibly accused of being anti-Semitic himself.
00:21:10.920But Keir Starmer, who supposedly was to be more moderate than that, granted his declaration of sovereignty to Palestine, even when Hamas was still holding hostages.
00:21:23.620And although he's the target of so many protests, I don't know.
00:21:29.260Do you think there's going to be a significant change in the UK's policy vis-a-vis Israel?
00:21:34.740Will it go back a little bit more to the Jeremy Corbyn approach?
00:21:38.320It's one thing to say those things in opposition, but what about his prime minister?
00:21:42.620Where is he on Islam, Israel, Jews, etc.?
00:21:46.400I'm just curious, because that is a battleground or a front line on these things.
00:21:51.000Well, again, I don't think he's actually said that much about these specific things.
00:21:54.340I think this is quite wise to do so, again, if you're trying to be all things to all men, as he is now.
00:22:00.440I don't think he's taken that much of a line.
00:22:03.800But I certainly when people imagine, you know, who they think of Andy Burnham in their head, certainly somebody who takes a hard line on one side of the Israel-Palestine issue does not crop up into somebody's mind.
00:22:18.760I think, again, as mayor of Greater Manchester, he will have no overall reason to talk about foreign policy.
00:22:24.560I can't imagine that there will be, again, much difference, I think, especially on the left now that Israel has become less popular among the left.
00:22:33.740But again, also, you know, these aren't completely radical people in government.
00:22:39.760I imagine he will stay somewhere similar to the start on the line that is critical of Israel in some ways, but it obviously is not completely aligned with the radical Palestinian jihadist activists, for example, as well.
00:22:53.880So I don't think there'll be that much difference on there.
00:22:56.840Now, again, overall, I think we're going to see really a continuation of government, even though people are expecting some big change.
00:23:03.340Yeah, I think you're probably right. I think he's managed to keep some of his because he was a mayor.
00:23:08.640Mayor, by definition, don't really deal with certain things.
00:23:13.460One thing that has always bothered me about U.K. politics is how even the so-called Conservative Party was so deeply in favor of net zero.
00:23:22.740I mean, Boris Johnson was committed to that. And net zero is basically a way to make energy more costly in the West while allowing China, India and other developing countries to burn fossil fuels at will for their industrial revolution.
00:23:37.840And it bothered me under Boris Johnson. It's continuing. I mean, there's an antipathy towards fossil fuels in the UK. The UK pays some of the highest energy taxes in Europe. It's particularly hard for pensioners, and there was a real crisis there. Is there any chance that Andy Burnham might become more moderate on the climate stuff, or is he still full Greta Thunberg on that stuff like Boris Johnson was?
00:24:05.040yeah full Greta Thunberg I mean obviously now the current energy secretary is Ed Miliband
00:24:11.540Red Ed as people used to call him and frankly still do and now he was the leader he was the
00:24:17.180Labour leader from 2010 to 2015 and fought against Cameron in the 2015 election uh and lost uh but he
00:24:24.200came back as the energy secretary in Keir Starmer's cabinet and he is one of the worst proponents of
00:24:30.120net zero uh that you can imagine um that is frankly now again obviously uh like for me and
00:24:36.000for many other people on the right sort of immigration is is the big issue but things
00:24:39.820like net zero and energy policy are you know probably not as destructive as allowing you know
00:24:45.400millions of billions of people from the third world to come into your country and
00:24:48.720to commit crimes and whatever but the actual the energy policy that they are doing right now is
00:24:54.260absolutely horrendous uh and there have been some rumors floating around that andy burnham may tap
00:25:00.420ed milliband to be his chancellor uh in which case you know we're going to see uh net zero on
00:25:06.660steroids and you know ed ed's going to be at the treasury pulling the purse strings and certainly
00:25:11.500having even more control over more areas uh of our life uh and making the net zero madness continue
00:25:17.580But I can't. Yeah, I think it's that's one of these areas where it's there is potential for it to get worse than the current Starmer regime.
00:25:27.120But let's see. Last question, Jack. You mentioned immigration.
00:25:30.560Obviously, we talk a lot about that. We looked at Restore UK's study into the rape gangs, which is just shocking.
00:25:37.600And I'm pleased to say it's had some attention on this side of the Atlantic.
00:25:41.560There's a very large YouTuber named Asmongold who read through the entire document seven hours for his viewers and had nearly a million views.
00:25:50.760So there are some of that news is coming out.
00:25:53.400And I think that the rape gangs are absolutely linked to mass immigration of people from misogynist cultures.
00:26:00.740Is there any difference between Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham on mass immigration?
00:26:05.780I mean, it seems like no one in the Labour Party is willing to do anything substantive about it because they know those immigrants will in time vote Labour.
00:26:15.080Is there any daylight between Starmer and Burnham on this stuff?
00:26:21.700No, definitely not. I mean, in fact, even as mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham himself, he for one, he said that you try to be against a national inquiry on the grooming gangs.
00:26:34.620There were other inquiries and reports that were sort of taking place in Oldham, which was under the Greater Manchester purview, which wasn't able to get much data and so on.
00:26:44.480There was more reports that were trying to get information from Greater Manchester Police.
00:26:49.260Greater Manchester Police was very, very reticent to allow this data to be out there on the grooming gangs.
00:26:55.860And guess who, as mayor of Greater Manchester, had the role of police and crime commissioner baked into his position who could have pressured a Greater Manchester police to open their books, open their data to these people who are doing the reports?
00:27:10.420Well, guess what? It was it was Andy Burnham.
00:27:12.460So Andy Burnham has had a role himself in them, certainly not assisting in the release of this evidence to the general public.
00:27:21.540uh and i think that's one thing where again you could say andy burnham is worse than starmer
00:27:26.300uh on the grooming gangs and certainly again if we're talking about immigration
00:27:29.600overall we're going to see a general continuation of the policy again hopefully as i said shabana
00:27:34.480stay the same secretary and at least get those ir reforms in uh you know illegal migration is still
00:27:40.420going down but again burnham is a leftist burnham so will not um you know crack down on legal
00:27:46.100migration uh either so that's sort of good thing um but yeah it's it's um it really is business as
00:27:53.380usual uh as much as people wish this to be a change and would like there to be a change uh
00:27:58.400again again it's six months in uh in six months i think you're going to say uh instead of people
00:28:03.300singing kia starmer's a rude word that i can't say uh on air uh they'll be singing that to uh
