The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1417

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episodes 1417 for Wednesday the 13th

00:00:07.200 of May 2026. I'm your host Luca, joined today by Firas, Nate, and Campaigns Director of Restore

00:00:14.840 Britain, Charlie Downs, much to the chagrin of the conspiracy, you know, of Great Western Rail

00:00:22.560 trying to keep you from here. They fear this podcast happening. They do, they do, and they're

00:00:27.360 right to, but they failed and here you are. So we're glad to have you with us. And today we're

00:00:32.080 going to be talking to Charlie, first and foremost, about the fantastic win of Great Yarmouth First

00:00:37.940 over in the recent council elections. We're then going to be talking all about the global

00:00:43.480 compact for migration and America, the Trump administration's take on it, I suppose. And then

00:00:51.320 we're going to be talking about why Starmer is right about the Labour Party. He has nothing but

00:00:57.680 contempt for them. And I think it's justified. He's literally me. Base. Base Starmer, our guy.

00:01:04.920 All right. So before we crack on with the show, just to let you know, if you go over to the Merck

00:01:09.600 store on the main website, you can get to celebrate over 100 episodes of Breakfast with Bo,

00:01:16.680 the nation's darling of breakfast television,

00:01:19.920 you can now get 10% off our wonderful merch for Breakfast with Beau,

00:01:24.380 as with these fantastic mugs.

00:01:27.020 If you get them, it goes through 10% off at the main checkout.

00:01:31.100 With all of that said, shall we begin to discuss

00:01:33.840 what a fantastic time it was last weekend

00:01:37.680 to see so many people coming out, right?

00:01:40.580 The days and days of campaigning, just watching the streets.

00:01:43.740 Well, I mean, honestly, Charlie, some of the footage that I was seeing of the queues going along as well was genuinely remarkable, unprecedented in my lifetime.

00:01:54.240 So on the ground for you, and you were there as well, Nate, weren't you?

00:01:57.220 So how did you find it?

00:01:59.140 Oh, my goodness. I mean, what a week it was.

00:02:01.080 What a couple of months it's been, in fact, because this has been in the works for a long time, as many will know.

00:02:05.800 Great Yarmouth First was the local party in Great Yarmouth, essentially a local arm of Restore Britain.

00:02:10.820 but it was set up before we launched Restore Britain as a party because it was always our

00:02:14.840 intention to stand in Great Yarmouth as it is Rupert's constituency and he's done a huge amount

00:02:19.580 of work for that constituency and felt it was only right to try to represent them at the council

00:02:25.100 level. So Great Yarmouth First is a project that's been in the works for a long time and what this

00:02:31.200 essentially shows our success in the recent local elections is that you can run an uncompromising

00:02:37.940 patriotic anti-establishment campaign and absolutely clear up because yes we had a lot

00:02:43.620 of volunteers come from you know all over the nation uh some coming from as far as aberdeen

00:02:48.860 cornwall and uh you know everywhere else um but really the winning message here was local people

00:02:55.280 who haven't been involved in politics before getting involved in politics who've lived in

00:02:59.020 the area who live in the actual uh wards the constituencies that they seek to represent who

00:03:03.940 know it like the back of their hand and who just want to do right by it who are not getting into

00:03:07.140 politics for fame or status or money, but purely because they are looking at the way their town

00:03:12.560 has been governed for a very long time and thinking, I could do a better job than these

00:03:16.880 clowns. I've got experience in business. I know the people in the area. I love the area because

00:03:21.160 it is my home. And therefore, I'm going to do something about it. And that formula, which we

00:03:25.180 intend to roll out across the entire country, is an absolute winner. Yeah, absolutely. And it seems

00:03:29.960 to have been, as you say, a total successor. I mean, as Rupert was pointing out here, history

00:03:35.180 made. We won 10 out of 10 seats with overwhelming majorities in every single one. Great Yarmouth

00:03:42.080 first, then we restore Britain a very special day. And it certainly seems to have been that.

00:03:48.500 And here we have, of course, the fine gentlemen who've put themselves forward to be patriots and

00:03:53.280 representatives of their community, just getting to the work of dealing with the ordinary details,

00:03:59.320 right, of just, you know, the council roles that they actually have the power over and that can

00:04:03.900 hopefully bring enormous benefit to the lives of the local constituents who've been so let down by

00:04:09.800 everything before. I mean, we were joking that Great Yarmouth First is both the name of the party

00:04:14.500 and also the name of Restore Britain's electoral strategy. Great Yarmouth First, and then we

00:04:18.900 Restore Britain. So yes, these guys have hit the ground running. They've already started doing good

00:04:23.680 work for their constituents. They are engaging in an investigation into trading standards in Great

00:04:29.740 Yarmouth around vape shops and Turkish barbers which as with every town in this country are a

00:04:34.800 huge issue. Spending a lot of time all over the constituency it's such an interesting place Great

00:04:39.840 Yarmouth because it's kind of a microcosm of the country because there are the leafy rural parts

00:04:45.680 which are very nice very well to do. There are the urban parts which are you know still clinging on

00:04:50.740 and still have a sense of local pride about them but then there's the odd street which has been

00:04:54.280 utterly UK-ified, if you want. One called King Street has become infamous because Rupert did

00:05:00.040 a video about it. And I, for my sins, spent a huge amount of time in that particular neighborhood.

00:05:04.820 And look, for the English people living there, they all know what time it is. They know that

00:05:08.980 something's got to give. But it really is like walking down the street of another country.

00:05:13.600 And Great Yarmouth has not even been that majorly affected by mass immigration. I mean,

00:05:17.900 like everywhere. From what I understand, the county of Norfolk itself has only just started

00:05:22.820 to feel it filtering through. This is the point. I mean, it is, you know, on the outer reaches of

00:05:26.540 the country. It's the kind of place that, you know, you wouldn't ever pass through. If you're

00:05:29.860 going there, you're going there. You're never going to pass through Great Yarmouth. And so

00:05:32.980 a huge amount of it is kind of untouched by the nonsense of modern Britain. But that's not to say

00:05:38.920 that it has been completely untouched because, you know, plenty of it has been. And the people

00:05:42.700 in those areas know what's coming. And of course, everyone there can see what's happening in the

00:05:47.600 rest of the country. And so they want to take a stand against that happening in their town. And

00:05:51.420 these lads are leading the charge on that i mean it's a remarkable thing isn't it as well because

00:05:56.500 as you say the idea of campaigning uh you know based on this exact formula and rolling it out

00:06:02.540 across the country and you know these gentlemen will be looking into the vape shops and the

00:06:07.080 turkish barbers and all of these sorts of things it's like but these things have become so ubiquitous

00:06:12.100 across the entire country it's like okay but why did the labor councils never feel the need to

00:06:17.980 get involved with this?

00:06:19.180 Why did the conservative councillors or the Lib Dems, right?

00:06:22.400 Because it affects them every bit as much.

00:06:25.820 And yet, there's another story there,

00:06:28.680 which is that when you see the pattern of immigration,

00:06:32.640 it is always about taking over a couple of streets

00:06:35.460 and essentially terraforming them.

00:06:37.840 Yeah, it's about establishing its own sort of enclave first.

00:06:40.360 Exactly, exactly.

00:06:41.580 And then establishing routes and then branching out.

00:06:44.600 Exactly. Meaning that the idea is not integration or assimilation.

00:06:48.720 The idea is taking over and changing the nature of the place.

00:06:53.120 And the second thing is, I did a segment recently, 97% of all councillors believe, of all trading standards workers,

00:07:02.220 believe that there is organised crime in their patch.

00:07:07.100 It's obvious.

00:07:07.720 In their territory.

00:07:08.200 It's obvious in Great Yarmouth as well, because these places stick out like a sore thumb in what is otherwise a fairly homogenous British constituency.

00:07:16.180 So people are extra aware of it as against somewhere like, I don't know, Slough.

00:07:19.620 So the two are going together, the terraforming, essentially, and the establishment of organized crime networks.

00:07:26.940 And they aren't in any way separated or separable because it is a package.

00:07:33.960 It comes with a certain culture. It comes with a certain set of beliefs.

00:07:36.500 it comes with a certain viewpoint that believes, well, actually, you're very weak for letting me

00:07:42.160 in. I'm going to exploit it and take advantage of it. And just on this, I mean, it does have to be

00:07:46.000 said, as much as immigration is obviously an issue that affects the entire country, and it was an

00:07:50.400 issue that came up on the doors in Great Yarmouth a great deal, because everyone's aware of it,

00:07:54.340 and everyone is afraid of what is coming. Reform, for example, who, as you can see on this graph,

00:08:01.320 we absolutely trounced in this constituency.

00:08:04.260 They campaigned in Great Yarmouth

00:08:05.940 on issues like illegal immigration.

00:08:08.180 Now, illegal immigration is not really

00:08:10.000 that much of an issue in Great Yarmouth.

00:08:11.680 It's a national issue,

00:08:12.660 and people feel very incensed

00:08:14.340 by what they see on the television.

00:08:16.280 But actually, at the local level,

00:08:17.800 it's not really a factor.

00:08:19.420 And it shows you what a difference

00:08:21.600 actually understanding the local situation can make.

00:08:24.500 Because our candidates, now councillors,

00:08:26.880 were campaigning on the issues

00:08:28.020 that local people actually care about

00:08:29.620 because they themselves live in the area.

00:08:31.800 So it's things like,

00:08:32.480 you talked about the Conservatives and Labour

00:08:34.180 essentially kind of leaving these places behind

00:08:35.960 and governing them badly.

00:08:37.800 Yes, the immigration and the demographic side of it

00:08:39.760 is part of that.

00:08:40.520 Yes, the high streets being infested

00:08:42.300 with these fronts for organised crime are part of it.

00:08:45.540 But actually it's also things like,

00:08:47.080 you know, house building

00:08:48.620 without the relevant infrastructure being put in place.

00:08:50.900 I mean, that's a huge issue in Great Yarmouth.

00:08:52.680 It's an issue in lots of places.

00:08:54.100 The roads, the public services

00:08:55.260 are absolutely overwhelmed

00:08:56.420 by the number of people that are flowing in.

00:08:59.620 Because as a result of these new housing developments,

00:09:01.880 and it's also things like the quality of roads, potholes.

00:09:04.080 I mean, it's such a cliche, but potholes and bins,

00:09:06.440 that is what wins you local elections

00:09:08.000 because that's what actually affects people day to day.

00:09:09.620 But that's also solely, primarily,

00:09:12.760 what people believe their council tax is being spent on.

00:09:15.760 Are my bins being collected?

00:09:16.980 Are the lights being put on?

00:09:18.440 And are the potholes being filled?

00:09:20.020 Yes.

00:09:21.200 Obviously, it goes broadly outside from there.

00:09:24.480 But even if people can't do those fundamental basics,

00:09:27.380 And that's what, if a council can't do it, and that's what people expect, then, I mean, that's the main crux of a lot of people's issues.

00:09:34.900 And this is the point, is the formula of combining genuinely understanding local areas and putting people forward from those local areas to represent them at the council level is incredibly powerful, coupled with our patriotic national agenda.

00:09:49.220 because it's the it's the combination of those two look like david brent yes it's the combination

00:09:54.780 of those two that i think is going to win us possibly the election in 2029 because nobody

00:09:59.860 else is doing this nobody else is speaking in frank terms about what's happening to the country

00:10:03.920 at the national level about the fact that the political class in its entirety the political

00:10:08.080 and media establishment needs to be not bargained with not reasoned with not conserved or reformed

00:10:12.960 but destroyed, wiped out, cleared out, and replaced by patriots, replaced by people who

00:10:20.040 really care about the country and who are going to put British interests first, who are not going

00:10:23.480 to be in hock to foreign lobbies, who are not going to represent the interests of client groups

00:10:28.980 in the country, who are not going to engage in policies like mass immigration and net zero,

00:10:34.280 all of which is destroying the country and making life very difficult for ordinary people.

00:10:37.900 You couple that with local campaigns that actually address local issues,

00:10:41.780 And I think you're on to a winner.

00:10:43.400 And also as well, it is all of those things, but it's also the fact that a party could come along and say that it has every intention of dealing with those things.

00:10:54.240 But the question is, can the voters trust it?

00:10:56.960 And I think that what we're seeing by the vitality behind Great Yarmouth First, behind Restore Britain, is that we're actually seeing that this is something that voters can trust.

00:11:07.320 This is something that actually, because it's going to take several years, you know, if an election comes in 2029, there's three years there of preparation and people want to know that those labours that they're putting forward in those three years are actually when the time comes, when power is achieved, when influence can finally be had, they want to know they're not going to get betrayed, that they're not going to get sold out, that this isn't just the latest, you know, version of blue.

00:11:34.480 And that, in large part, is why that number is so high, is because the people of Great Yarmouth know Rupert, they know what he's done for the local constituency, all of the work that he's put in, and they trust him.

00:11:45.620 And likewise, the nation, as they get to know Rupert Lowe, is beginning to trust him, because they can see that he puts his money where his mouth is, quite literally.

00:11:52.880 I mean, he doesn't take a salary as an MP, he donates his salary to charity, because he's only in this game, because he wants to fix the country.

00:12:00.120 It's a total antithesis of someone like Zach Polanski,

00:12:03.340 where the more he's put into the limelight,

00:12:05.360 the more he speaks, the less popular he becomes.

00:12:07.660 Actually, with Rupert, the more he speaks,

00:12:09.860 the more he's made visible, the more the power rises.

00:12:13.200 And the more confidence in the country will grow

00:12:16.100 to show that someone is voicing their concerns.

00:12:18.700 And you obviously sent me through all of these statistics.

00:12:21.760 And they are just phenomenal.

00:12:23.860 It's stark.

00:12:24.280 I mean, Steve, he's such a good bloke.

00:12:25.720 And his majority was the largest.

00:12:27.820 I mean, he won 51% of the vote.

00:12:29.560 Of all the votes.

00:12:30.400 It's like Steve Grimm, a one-party state in Yarmouth North.

00:12:35.360 But I just wanted to, yeah, kind of flick through these.

00:12:37.240 Sure.

00:12:38.020 Just because they do show the magnitude of the victory that we achieved here.

00:12:42.220 I mean, look at these numbers.

00:12:43.180 46% over double.

00:12:44.940 Yeah, you could have halved Michael's vote share and he still would have won.

00:12:48.200 Yeah.

00:12:48.480 You know, it's unbelievable.

00:12:49.420 Add the Tories and reform together and they still couldn't.

00:12:53.400 Yeah, it's 50% from Kevin Huggins, John Weddon, 43%.

00:12:59.200 And this is across every, as you say,

00:13:01.480 It's the same story everywhere.

00:13:02.820 District of Great Yarmouth.

00:13:03.840 Yeah.

00:13:04.280 It's really inspiring.

00:13:05.540 Yeah.

00:13:06.160 But it does highlight that people want a level of authenticity.

00:13:10.660 And if you have Zia Yusuf around you,

00:13:13.420 you cannot, for all of your efforts,

00:13:16.100 appear in any way authentic.

00:13:17.820 If you have Leila Cunningham or Nadim Zahawi,

00:13:20.680 you're not going to appear authentic.

00:13:23.000 Yes.

00:13:23.760 And that's the issue.

00:13:26.400 Reform is casting itself as a national party.

00:13:28.720 or as a nationalist party

00:13:30.720 it just doesn't

00:13:33.620 the message doesn't carry

00:13:36.180 they like to parachute people in

00:13:38.320 you're not going to understand the granular details

00:13:40.680 of a small constituency

00:13:42.800 you're just not going to have a grasp on that

00:13:45.300 it should not be this complicated

00:13:47.700 who could have predicted

00:13:49.420 that parachuting SW1

00:13:51.940 Westminster bubble Matt Goodwin

00:13:53.240 into Gorton and Denton would end badly

00:13:55.680 I mean anybody with a brain

00:13:56.980 everyone thought Matt Goodwin

00:13:58.220 yeah really you know like how difficult is it to just pick like identify a local person who knows

00:14:03.520 the area like the back of their hand who wants to do right by it who's not getting involved because

00:14:07.240 they want all the you know the glitz and the glamour of the politician lifestyle who just

00:14:11.300 wants to fix the place they live the place that they're from i mean you know it shouldn't be this

00:14:15.040 difficult but apparently all the other parties struggle to find these people well that reeks of

00:14:18.600 the old status quo which hopefully we're going to wipe the floor with which is just career

00:14:23.140 politicians right like these people just want to fix where they live yeah they're not really in it

00:14:28.040 to try and make money to you know to to progress up the flagpole so to speak yeah but yeah we've

00:14:33.640 been swamped with um you know ex-legal professions lawyers just just professional politicians basically

00:14:40.700 career politicians and yeah i mean this this harkens back to uh an age of politics which

00:14:46.660 we once had yes yeah and if we carry on through uh these graphs here we'll come to one uh i mean

00:14:52.720 again same story you can see it's the same everywhere i mean that one by the way barry's

00:14:56.360 one i look at that and i think that is what the national vote shares may look like at the 2029

00:15:02.560 election well i like to give it a go out yeah indeed uh and if we carry we'll come to one

00:15:07.300 there we go so this is the most interesting part of this whole story for me right it is the fact

00:15:12.780 that at this election in great yarmouth we were able to activate a huge number of people who did

00:15:20.140 not vote in the previous elections in this constituency which was in 2021 so a huge number

00:15:25.440 of people who feel disaffected, who feel disenfranchised, not represented by the political

00:15:30.360 establishment. They took the effort to come out to vote on the 7th of May for us, because they

00:15:35.380 looked at Rupert, they looked at Great Yarmouth first, they looked at Restore Britain, and thought

00:15:39.240 finally, there is a party that I can actually get behind. And I've got the percentages here,

00:15:43.500 actually. So you'll notice that not all of the constituencies are listed here, and that's because

00:15:47.140 some of them didn't exist in 2021. So for the ones that did exist, in Braden, you had a voter

00:15:52.140 turnout increase of 70.5%. In Galston, 50%. Lothangland, 69.1%. Magdalene, 42.7%. Yarmouth,

00:16:01.940 Nelson and Southtown, 87.9%. I mean, you can see on there, it's nearly double what it was at the

00:16:07.540 previous elections. Yarmouth, North and Central, 41.2%. And a total voter turnout increase of 61.4%.

00:16:15.900 I mean, it's just unbelievable. It's unprecedented. And that's also very achievable on a national

00:16:20.740 scale because people keep banging on about you're going to steal votes no you're not entitled to

00:16:24.260 anyone's vote for starters so you know no one can say well i've got i'm a that's my tory vote no

00:16:28.960 that's not how it works no but it's well that seems to be the argument they seem to make it

00:16:33.280 it's so frustrating yes but it's also the plethora the wealth of people that have just gone

00:16:40.300 politics does not work for me anymore i'm not gonna i'm not gonna get involved yeah but we

00:16:45.240 saw them all come out um that was the brexit vote right that was also uh boris johnson's vote yeah

00:16:51.960 you know people lending him the vote which is which is true that is what they did um so this

00:16:56.960 this is more than achievable on a national scale i think so and this is the thing you know like

00:17:01.400 the actual act of voting is not difficult because like most people like when we were going around

00:17:05.320 great yarmouth the polling station is like half a mile up the road right all you have to do is get

00:17:10.320 that person out of their house to the polling station and put an x in your box and then and

00:17:14.180 And then they can go to the pub.

00:17:15.320 Yeah, exactly.

00:17:16.080 You just got to incentivize them to do that very small, low effort task.

00:17:19.640 Yeah.

00:17:20.120 What will make people want to do that?

00:17:22.400 And that's the thing.

00:17:23.660 That is such a low effort thing, but barely anyone wants to do it anymore because politicians

00:17:29.000 have betrayed them consistently time after time after time.

00:17:31.960 So actually, it's just a little bit of authenticity and people believing that you are authentic.

00:17:37.140 Ultimately, our view is that we're not chasing votes.

00:17:39.460 We're not in the business of trying to barter with the general public for their votes or

00:17:43.460 trying to buy votes off of people. If you agree with our agenda, vote for us. It's as simple as

00:17:47.580 that. Absolutely. And the message is clear, and it's obviously cut through. But then it goes

00:17:53.160 beyond that as well, because as Marwin points out here, that interesting in Norfolk, Rupert Lowe's

00:17:57.800 party has stopped reform winning an overall control of the council itself. And so actually,

00:18:03.560 this actually sets up Great Yarmouth First and Restore Britain to be kingmakers in that county,

00:18:11.440 Yes. Which is a very powerful tool. And it means that if Reform UK want to play their tricks and, you know, pander to the Nadim Zahawi interests of the party, if they want to go down the Lila Cunningham messaging route, then fortunately now, you know, these patriotic men will actually be there to say, no, no, no, you're not getting away with that.

00:18:32.520 By all means, work cooperatively where it is

00:18:36.200 in the interests of the local people,

00:18:38.240 but having that ultimate decision-making power

00:18:41.480 is going to be very important, actually, for this sanity.

00:18:46.520 Yeah, well, John Whedon,

00:18:48.120 who's the leader of the Great Yarmouth First Group

00:18:49.920 on Norfolk Council now,

00:18:50.980 one of our recently elected councillors,

00:18:52.640 was interviewed by the BBC a couple of days ago.

00:18:56.480 And he made the point that, look,

00:18:58.520 do we want to work with people

00:18:59.800 that try and get their political opponents,

00:19:01.300 people that criticise them, put into prison?

00:19:03.400 Not hugely, but if they share our vision

00:19:06.020 and if they share our goals, then we'll work with anyone.

00:19:08.760 Well, it's like these councillors

00:19:10.520 didn't obviously try to do that, did they?

00:19:13.180 And so, you know, they, from their own point of view,

00:19:15.160 were probably long-looking to just represent Reform UK

00:19:18.460 in their constituency,

00:19:20.260 because they saw that as the thing on the horizon now

00:19:22.920 that was best to work for them.

00:19:24.720 And obviously, as we know as well,

00:19:26.900 from a segment I did earlier this week,

00:19:29.620 The chances are that Reform UK councillors tend to be a little bit spicier than the leadership as well, to put it mildly.

00:19:39.960 So, you know, I'm sure there is plenty of...

00:19:41.820 Plenty of potholes are going to be filled in great energy.

00:19:43.280 Plenty of cooperation there.

00:19:46.760 The other point to make is that that's pretty much the precedent that Rupert set with the rape gang inquiry.

00:19:52.840 Yes.

00:19:53.460 It was intended to allow all parties to do the right thing.

00:19:57.180 Yeah.

00:19:57.360 If you want to do the right thing, do the right thing.

00:19:59.360 is your opportunity exactly yeah it's it is a simple and very effective message because

00:20:04.560 you're asking them to be responsible and as you uh was saying about here the fact that now there's

00:20:11.340 going to be an investigation hopefully into the vape shops as well which you know just and the

00:20:16.580 other thing as well it's like okay that is a real issue but think of all the second order consequences

00:20:21.700 that just come from a small thing like that the amount of ease that people will feel in their

00:20:26.740 local communities now knowing that they don't have these criminals just hiding behind the obvious

00:20:33.960 open secret. Everyone knows what's going on. Everyone knows the malfeasance. And so to actually

00:20:39.860 be able to just get the microscope and go, yeah, okay, we're focusing in on this now. We're going

00:20:45.440 to solve this problem that people have had an issue with for so long. And it's these sorts of

00:20:49.800 actions that will hopefully gain that snowball of the trust all the way up till 2029.

00:20:56.740 And this is the point where we're going to use the, you know, the power that our councillors in Norfolk have access to,

00:21:04.680 which, you know, they're a small, they're a minority group on Norfolk County Council.

00:21:07.940 So it is, you know, ultimately they can't just swoop into Great Yarmouth and sell it, right?

00:21:11.040 You're closed, you're closed, you're getting deported.

00:21:13.580 You know, we can't do that.

00:21:14.960 But what we can do, we're going to make full use of, which is things like this.

00:21:18.340 Yeah.

00:21:19.600 And also, think of whose money is being laundered here.

00:21:22.840 Yeah.

00:21:22.960 The money that's being laundered in these shops is going through all of the drug gangs and probably the grooming gangs.

00:21:29.100 About a doubt, yeah.

00:21:30.000 So there is this intersection here with just basic public order and basic security and the fact that they have a way of laundering their money.

00:21:38.800 It also really matters because it's political complacency on a national scale that everyone knows is going on.

00:21:45.040 And it is just sheer complacency.

00:21:47.320 No one cares.

00:21:48.120 They just turn a blind eye to it.

00:21:49.320 So actually seeing someone at the very least go,

00:21:52.460 oh yeah, that thing that everyone knows.

00:21:54.000 Yeah, we'll have a look at that.

00:21:55.020 Exactly.

00:21:55.560 That does, it matters.

00:21:56.900 I should just say, you made a point there first,

00:21:58.400 which is really important.

00:21:59.160 So we will have updates on the rape gang inquiry

00:22:02.060 in the very near future.

00:22:04.880 I've been reading through the report that we've put together

00:22:06.940 and it's as harrowing as it was the first time round.

00:22:10.280 But the fact like this is not, it's not like a network.

00:22:12.800 This is just a brief aside, but it's an important point.

00:22:14.480 It's not a network of kind of siloed, you know,

00:22:16.880 gangs in individual towns.

00:22:17.940 It is one network across the nation, which is interlinked with organized crime, the arms trade, the drug trade, and all the rest of it.

00:22:25.420 And so, yes, it's entirely likely, highly likely, I would say, that vape shops, even in towns like Great Yarmouth, where, as far as we know, I believe this kind of thing has not gone on.

00:22:34.300 Certainly not at the scale it has in places like Birmingham or elsewhere.

00:22:38.940 Even there, the money that has changed hands for access to the children

00:22:44.060 that these grooming gangs have been trafficking in

00:22:46.160 is being laundered on the high streets, you know, and it's just unbelievable.

00:22:49.620 And so that's as good a reason as any to come down with the hammer of the law.

00:22:53.200 It's a moral scourge and it's been allowed to fester for decades and decades now

00:22:58.620 by the establishment.

00:22:59.780 And so is it any surprise when people finally feel like they have a party in place

00:23:05.400 that's going to do something about it?

00:23:08.020 And so the next steps, it seems, it says, as Rupert says here,

00:23:10.940 we're very confident that we can win the new East Norfolk Council outright next year,

00:23:15.320 along with many others, and preparations for that are already being started.

00:23:19.340 And, of course, as well, the fact that it is, you know, history has been made,

00:23:23.160 won 10 out of 10 seats, overwhelming majorities,

00:23:25.460 and, as I say, Great Yarmouth first, and then Restore Britain.

00:23:29.680 Do you have anything else in terms of...

00:23:31.280 Yeah, well, I mean, Restore Britain is just spreading like a fire across the nation.

00:23:35.240 Brankings, everywhere.

00:23:36.440 Yeah, yeah. Begins in Great Yarmouth. And then as we move forward, as by-elections come up and indeed local elections next year and ultimately the general election in 2029, I think you're going to see the entire map of the UK slowly turn into that lovely navy blue colour.

00:23:51.680 Well, we're certainly doing our damnedest to make it happen, aren't we?

00:23:55.400 Yes. And I should say, reiterate, as always, join Restore Britain, £20 a year. I often say that at the peak of Corbyn's leadership at the Labour Party, they had 600,000 members.

00:24:04.920 And I refuse to believe that there are not half a million more people out there in the country who are currently not members of Restore Britain, who believe in our message, our mission, our agenda, who for just 20 quid a year, that's all it is, could join us and make us the biggest party in British politics, possibly ever, possibly in history.

00:24:19.460 Yeah. And as we see as well, it's gaining everywhere the confidence of people who haven't historically voted before.

00:24:26.100 Because, you know, as Carl has brought up in the past in our local branch meetings in Swindon,

00:24:32.000 it's like some people who were being spoke to when we were handing out leaflets at the pub.

00:24:36.200 One of the chaps did it. It was an initiative.

00:24:38.340 It was just like, yeah, people like, oh, we thought it was too late to save the country.

00:24:42.720 And there is such a tragedy in the fact that those just good, honest Englishmen and women have been reduced to that mental state.

00:24:51.980 The abuse that they have had to suffer at the hands of the established.

00:24:55.700 The constant demoralization.

00:24:57.040 Yes.

00:24:57.600 The constant demoralization.

00:24:59.060 This is why faith is so important, but that's a different conversation.

00:25:01.960 But now, finally, there are reasons to be optimistic.

00:25:06.360 Indeed.

00:25:08.160 All right.

00:25:09.040 I'll just quickly go through Rumble Ramps where I can actually see them.

00:25:12.720 So we've got for $5, Chaddy304 says, completed the first draft of my second novel a few minutes ago.

00:25:21.580 Just felt like sharing the good news.

00:25:23.920 Also, we had our first Restore Britain meeting this Friday for Wigan and Lee Branch.

00:25:28.600 Well, congratulations on redrafting the novel.

00:25:31.680 And, you know, I hope those branch meetings continue to grow.

00:25:34.480 That's wonderful news.

00:25:36.140 Sigilstone says, Thiras, do you have a cross on you, preferably a silver one?

00:25:41.500 Can you hold it up to Luke?

00:25:43.480 I have a wooden one and a golden one.

00:25:45.740 Are we implying that I'm...

00:25:46.800 Is the lighting making me look vampiric again?

00:25:49.080 It does do that sometimes.

00:25:51.120 Cookie Boy for $2 says,

00:25:52.860 77% right-wing vote where Restore stood.

00:25:57.220 Around 46% in the rest of the country

00:25:59.560 shows how Restore...

00:26:01.280 Mine actually is silver as well.

00:26:06.740 Oh, there you go.

00:26:07.720 Be gone.

00:26:08.160 i might just go watch some hammer horrors later i think um yes uh showing how restore were pulling

00:26:18.340 in a lot of non-voters absolutely uh bald eagle uh 1787 says glad to see restore uh realizing

00:26:26.100 the need to focus local first and then move on to the national scale too many parties have changed

00:26:31.380 focus national and then just demand local support for them when it should be the other way around

00:26:37.560 Yeah, absolutely.

00:26:38.600 Rupert's spoken about plenty of times, I think even on this show, about the combination of the bottom up and the top down at the same time.

00:26:45.840 You know, the local issues and the national issues, which are different.

00:26:48.560 They're often interlinked, obviously.

00:26:49.860 Yes.

00:26:50.080 But really deeply understanding both.

00:26:51.780 That is the formula for winning.

00:26:53.000 And again, it amazes me that that's somehow like rocket science.

00:26:57.140 Revolutionizing British politics.

00:26:58.500 Just remembering the things that they've all forgotten.

00:27:00.760 Bald Eagle also says, the question I have is how many reform councillors are going to move to, I assume it means restore, over the next couple of years?

00:27:11.640 It seems that many reform councillors would fit restore better.

00:27:15.000 Plenty want to.

00:27:15.780 Yeah.

00:27:16.260 And although one thing I will just say with that as well is I'm glad to see that there is some entryism going on and it's not just doing what reform we're doing and just taking anyone who wanted to.

00:27:27.160 No, we've refused, I mean, you know, we're not going to put out the actual numbers and the individuals,

00:27:32.000 but the number of people that have wanted to join us that we've told to, you know, sex and travel is very high.

00:27:37.460 Well, that's very reassuring.

00:27:39.060 Yeah, he says he meant Restore.

00:27:41.320 And he also says, are Restore having a party conference this year?

00:27:45.040 No, so not this year.

00:27:46.160 Our view is that the money and resources and time that we would spend doing a kind of glitz and glamour party conference like Reform do

00:27:52.980 would be better spent on campaigning.

00:27:55.520 Yeah, it's gone well so far.

00:27:58.400 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:59.020 Yeah, no, I think it makes sense.

00:28:00.560 All right, over to you, Nate.

00:28:02.240 All right, I'm going to black pill, but also white pill a little bit.

00:28:06.300 I'm going to talk about the global...

00:28:07.460 Is that a grey pill?

00:28:09.180 Yeah, well, one of them.

00:28:10.560 We're going to talk about the global compact for migration, basically,

00:28:13.320 and how re-migration is inevitable.

00:28:17.280 That's encouraging.

00:28:18.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is encouraging.

00:28:20.520 At the very least, for the time being, re-migration is inevitable.

00:28:23.540 uh this popped up on my x feed and i was like huh interesting let's have a look at this

00:28:29.220 um so global compact for migration this is something uh that the un has anyone ever heard

00:28:35.480 of it uh yes ferris is a man of culture yeah i've heard the title i don't know what it actually

00:28:41.980 entails well let's get into some blackpilling then shall we so what is it well global compact

00:28:47.200 global compact for migration is the first ever un global agreement on a common approach to

00:28:51.480 international migration in all its dimensions the global compact is non-legally binding although

00:28:56.560 you'd be remiss to believe that it is uh it is grounded in values of state sovereignty

00:29:01.900 responsibility sharing non-discrimination and human rights love that and recognizes that a

00:29:09.100 cooperative approach is needed to optimize the overall benefits of migration anyone feeling

00:29:14.380 those benefits great food apparently i'm told piers morgan says he like slop he's like a pig

00:29:19.620 so that makes sense.

00:29:21.660 Slurry.

00:29:22.300 No, I've not really experienced any of these benefits myself.

00:29:25.360 I can't.

00:29:25.700 No, I think the decades-long open-door policy

00:29:30.800 and the argument for economic growth

00:29:34.300 probably well and truly been put to bed now, isn't it?

00:29:37.560 Yeah.

00:29:38.020 It's untenable.

00:29:39.640 Yeah.

00:29:40.280 The idea that depressing wages brings prosperity

00:29:43.980 is on the face of it unhinged.

00:29:47.120 Well, yeah, of course it is.

00:29:48.140 the the the idea that for us sorry for us the present wages for us well not not for some well

00:29:55.640 yes those wages for other people that's important that's very important uh it was a how he was

00:30:01.400 arguing for the importance of remittances to somalia reform uk leading figure nadim zahawi

00:30:08.100 just traced right-wing populist insurgent it's an iraqi man of the people yeah he's a kurdish

00:30:14.240 iraqi yeah well that matters i guess it really does in way i was being serious that does actually

00:30:22.840 matter um so that's just a quick overview basically there are 23 objectives um on this

00:30:28.880 can i just say like the idea of an international agreement on migration is like that could be based

00:30:33.660 where it's just like the entirety of europe saying no the western world no more yeah thanks yeah but

00:30:38.800 that's not what this is i'm assuming unfortunately it's not so there are 23 objectives for safe

00:30:43.920 orderly and regular migration okay they're not even not even entertaining the concept that there

00:30:49.860 may be you know a critical mass by which we say no more well also i'm just scanning through the

00:30:56.820 oh no i want to go through it there's a couple of things can i pick up on a couple of things quickly

00:31:01.620 sure uh enhance availability and flexibility of pathways for regular migration yeah oh because

00:31:07.860 there's so many blockages right now exactly you know well they've already made it then i guess

00:31:12.220 and and the beautiful one ensure that all migrants have proof of legal identity and adequate

00:31:18.080 documentation i mean that's nonsense but that subtext global digital id yeah well yeah so well

00:31:25.200 let's get into it right because there's 23 of these points so collecting utilize accurate and

00:31:31.380 disaggregated data as a basis for evidence-based policies presumably excluding crime data

00:31:37.820 Presumably, yeah, presumably.

00:31:39.580 I mean, it's just waffle, presumably, that they have to chuck in there.

00:31:43.620 Create policy on the basis of evidence.

00:31:46.980 Cutting edge.

00:31:47.840 Thanks, guys.

00:31:49.760 But not all.

00:31:51.620 Patriots.

00:31:52.240 Not all evidence.

00:31:53.360 Yeah.

00:31:53.940 I mean, you could use this for a basis to say, no thanks.

00:31:57.420 Yeah.

00:31:57.760 But obviously that's not the case.

00:31:58.700 This is a problem, isn't it?

00:31:59.960 When they coach it in the language of human rights and compassion

00:32:03.480 and all of these sorts of things, it's like, yeah,

00:32:05.080 We already know that ideologically you're committed to certain outcomes

00:32:09.160 and all of the rest of it is just mere window dressing

00:32:11.920 for what you want to do.

00:32:13.760 Yeah, or factors by which to facilitate the outcomes

00:32:17.340 that you wish to pursue wholesale.

00:32:19.140 And also, I doubt it's regular migration, say, from Africa to China

00:32:24.500 or from Africa to India or from India to Russia, right?

00:32:30.120 It's actually going to be the global traitorous.

00:32:32.380 Oh, no, Putin has signed up to some immigration from India.

00:32:34.940 Yeah, no, he has.

00:32:36.180 Same as Ukraine.

00:32:37.120 Don't do it, poot.

00:32:38.820 There's still time to turn back.

00:32:40.880 Same as Ukraine.

00:32:41.840 Can you imagine, just side note, fighting in a horrific war,

00:32:47.400 and then going back and your land is just covered in curry houses?

00:32:51.040 Dude, there are already videos of Indians washing their clothes in Ukrainian rivers.

00:32:55.760 Saw that.

00:32:56.340 That's outrageous.

00:32:57.780 And I'm like, guys, could you just put a pause on it for five minutes

00:33:01.300 until you actually settle?

00:33:02.280 just don't revert to type

00:33:05.300 just god damn

00:33:06.860 just wait

00:33:07.480 just wait

00:33:08.680 so anyway

00:33:10.360 minimise the adverse drivers

00:33:11.800 and structural factors

00:33:12.680 that compel people

00:33:13.540 to leave their country of origin

00:33:14.800 I mean fair

00:33:15.600 you can't do that though

00:33:16.600 you can't

00:33:18.100 stop people being poor

00:33:19.500 is effectively

00:33:20.380 some of that

00:33:21.540 foreign policy

00:33:22.540 if you read that as

00:33:23.700 make colonialism greater

00:33:24.940 that's the other thing

00:33:26.300 remake the empire

00:33:26.940 yeah you can

00:33:28.420 there is a based way

00:33:29.540 to interpret all of this

00:33:30.780 just saying

00:33:31.420 provide accurate and timely information at all stages of migration what does that even mean

00:33:37.220 i mean you talk about global digital id maybe this is like microchipping to everyone well yeah

00:33:42.840 yeah maybe ensure that all migrants have proof of legal identity adequate documentation

00:33:49.060 enhance availability and flexibility of pathways for regular migration why i mean why yeah it's

00:33:55.300 just a the assumption here is that migration is always good yeah that that is it isn't it so we've

00:33:59.880 got this end goal we want the west to be globalized yeah we want um yeah that's the outcome that's what

00:34:06.940 we want so this is what we're going to do yeah every single objective here is to facilitate that

00:34:12.580 as an outcome which is evil there's no other word for it it is evil it is for the good of the planet

00:34:19.520 i made this point on eggs for the good of the planet the west needs to remain west you know

00:34:24.620 western white whatever you want to call it it has to remain that but the good of the entire planet

00:34:29.880 where you want everything to look like downtown mumbai are you mental what are you doing are we

00:34:34.820 worried about the ecosystem but we want everyone to come here and we're just going to globalize

00:34:38.820 and become this sludgy mumbai yeah no thanks canada says hello precisely right uh so facilitate

00:34:46.000 fair and ethical recruitment and safeguard conditions that ensure decent work

00:34:49.960 so decent work for the migrants at the expense of the people already living in the european

00:34:57.620 countries obviously of course of course yeah come on now this is only it's human rights for thee but

00:35:04.880 not for me that's the argument that is always being made here i mean idealist but i thought

00:35:09.820 that work could go to our own people you know shame on you yeah shit you bigot

00:35:15.440 uh address and reduce vulnerabilities in migration that's safe and legal reads

00:35:22.600 that's what that is yeah right it's the same as that shabana mamood going i'm going to clamp down

00:35:26.860 on illegal migration so we can have more safe and legal reads yeah oh can we not that's actually

00:35:31.740 what trump is doing to be fair yeah i do like to imagine that that's in uh contradiction to

00:35:37.020 uh the second point which is like the idea of a vulnerability in migration being like oh no

00:35:41.560 if someone lives in a stable country,

00:35:42.920 which means they might not come to Europe.

00:35:44.420 Let's destabilise their country

00:35:45.720 to make sure they come here.

00:35:48.900 Save lives and establish...

00:35:49.820 You're describing certain Middle Eastern policies,

00:35:51.800 but that's a different conversation.

00:35:55.540 Save lives and establish

00:35:56.840 coordinated international efforts

00:35:58.320 on missing migrants.

00:36:00.520 So that, what,

00:36:02.340 is this to do with, like,

00:36:04.340 modern slavery?

00:36:05.560 What is this to do with?

00:36:07.000 I mean, I'm all for...

00:36:08.200 Maybe just don't bring them here

00:36:09.200 and they won't go missing.

00:36:09.940 How about that?

00:36:10.320 I'm for international efforts to abolish slavery.

00:36:13.220 I mean, after all, we did it once.

00:36:14.840 But at the same time, I don't believe that you're going to get the cooperation

00:36:20.260 of the African nations that are actually profiting from them

00:36:23.540 and are now dependent on them.

00:36:25.180 No, we had that issue last time.

00:36:26.660 We did have that issue last time.

00:36:28.200 The Kingdom of Dahomey, they were not very happy.

00:36:30.320 The slave king was pretty annoyed.

00:36:33.000 Strengthen the transnational response to smuggling of migrants.

00:36:36.000 prevent, combat, and eradicate trafficking in persons

00:36:39.280 in the context of international migration?

00:36:41.160 Is that not exactly the same thing?

00:36:43.520 And also obviously based, like just send the SAS in

00:36:46.600 to execute people smugglers, is my view.

00:36:48.920 There was actually an unmasking of one of the main

00:36:52.660 people smugglers or traffickers for illegal migrants recently.

00:36:57.680 It's like, okay, so you've got his face then.

00:36:59.220 Yeah.

00:37:00.220 Yeah.

00:37:00.640 Coffee pop.

00:37:01.040 What's going on next?

00:37:02.140 Come on now.

00:37:03.300 Chop, chop.

00:37:03.960 But no, nothing.

00:37:04.880 Nothing at all.

00:37:06.000 manage borders in an integrated secure and coordinated manner remember this is a global

00:37:11.940 compact manage borders in an integrated secure and coordinated manner that means you are

00:37:16.480 integrating your border management with afghanistan's border management again that's

00:37:21.900 the subtext it's the global digitization right that that's that's kind of what i'm reading from

00:37:27.600 that strengthen certainty and predictability and migration procedures for appropriate screening

00:37:33.520 assessment and referral use migration detention only only as a measure of last resort

00:37:40.060 and work towards alternatives those being what well the shire's are racist everyone knows that

00:37:49.740 the shires are racist that's the implication here right yeah yeah that's what's being said

00:37:54.600 how is that even on here how did anyone read that and go ah sign me up to that how is a

00:38:00.200 migration detention centre

00:38:01.680 or just detention in general

00:38:04.560 a last resort

00:38:05.580 you don't know who they are

00:38:06.880 it's literally like saying

00:38:07.620 like use prison

00:38:08.460 as a last resort

00:38:09.300 for criminals

00:38:10.080 just give them a pat

00:38:11.200 on the back first

00:38:11.920 see if that works

00:38:12.720 give them a cuddle

00:38:13.560 a pep talk

00:38:14.380 yeah

00:38:14.900 a hug a hoodie

00:38:15.940 yeah

00:38:16.380 a breakfast club

00:38:18.340 yeah

00:38:18.920 table tennis tables

00:38:20.540 infinite table tennis tables

00:38:22.300 enhance consular protection

00:38:24.560 assistance

00:38:25.220 cooperation

00:38:25.800 throughout the migration cycle

00:38:27.120 again more globalisation

00:38:29.180 provide access to basic services for migrants well i mean if it was only basic services so kill your

00:38:35.460 economy well number 15 i mean infinite medical care for illegal migrants yeah i would say i

00:38:42.400 wouldn't say that was basic that's a luxury that's a luxury where they come from it's that's not a

00:38:46.840 basic service basic so if they would you can interpret that in many many different ways

00:38:51.220 if they were doing a proper basic service it would be like just food and water well what level of

00:38:55.640 food literally what you're given shut up eat it that's it and a bit of water we don't need to

00:39:00.440 give them driving lessons i keep we don't need to send them down to a local football club for

00:39:05.180 instance like where we have been doing i mean this is absurd so many absurd things we keep giving to

00:39:09.900 these people that just should not be here bus passes or bicycles laptops yeah you name it yeah

00:39:15.400 yeah yeah but sod everyone else right empower migrants and societies to realize full inclusion

00:39:20.740 and social cohesion that's that's deeply authoritarian and oppressive isn't it it is

00:39:27.380 unobtainable you will never arrive at that yeah you it's a myth they never wanted it we never

00:39:33.340 wanted it you're forcing it on us what do you think's gonna happen this is the thing for the

00:39:36.860 people writing this up it's like have you looked out the window have you seen what is going where

00:39:42.420 they live it's probably you know they've never they never come across it yeah they really okay

00:39:46.760 Have they ever been on the internet?

00:39:49.060 Have they ever...

00:39:49.500 No, no, no, wait.

00:39:50.380 The next one is just the creme de la creme.

00:39:51.940 Okay, this one is the best.

00:39:52.880 Eliminate all forms of discrimination

00:39:54.660 and promote evidence-based public discourse

00:39:57.380 to shape perceptions of migration.

00:39:59.180 Now here's a thought.

00:39:59.940 What if evidence leads to justifiable discrimination?

00:40:04.160 Sorry, I've got to eliminate it.

00:40:05.920 There's an error there.

00:40:07.040 It's going to eradicate human nature itself.

00:40:10.120 Yeah, it's like hubris.

00:40:11.740 No in-group preferences allowed.

00:40:13.720 Right.

00:40:14.360 All forms of discrimination.

00:40:16.100 It's mental, isn't it?

00:40:17.180 Genuinely just insane.

00:40:18.460 So discrimination on the basis of competence for a job.

00:40:21.200 I love this one.

00:40:22.520 Invest in skills development and facilitate mutual recognition of skills.

00:40:26.720 What skills?

00:40:27.480 Meaning that when somebody comes at you with an Indian university degree,

00:40:30.720 you should not ask questions.

00:40:32.260 Knowing full well how much the forgery of qualifications happens all over,

00:40:39.700 you should not ask any questions.

00:40:41.480 To say nothing of an Indian driving license.

00:40:44.940 Yeah.

00:40:45.600 I almost got crushed by two trucks the other day.

00:40:49.100 Not one, two.

00:40:50.680 Yeah.

00:40:52.140 I'm just so glad to have you with us.

00:40:54.300 Thank you.

00:40:54.800 Glad you didn't, obviously.

00:40:55.900 Thank you.

00:40:56.760 Create conditions for migrants and diasporas

00:40:58.980 to fully contribute to sustainable development in all countries.

00:41:02.700 We're just not.

00:41:03.400 Infinite remittances.

00:41:04.540 Yeah.

00:41:05.340 That is what that is.

00:41:06.580 This is what it is.

00:41:07.240 Remote faster, safer, cheaper transfer of remittances.

00:41:11.360 Come on.

00:41:12.600 In case you were wondering.

00:41:13.600 Wealth transfer, you must facilitate wealth transfer.

00:41:16.680 Just extraction.

00:41:17.880 But this is the UN.

00:41:19.800 Yeah.

00:41:21.420 Actually insanity, this is.

00:41:22.660 I'd love someone to rewrite this list of 23 points

00:41:25.020 using basically the honest language.

00:41:27.420 Yeah.

00:41:28.100 Challenge accepted.

00:41:29.480 Yeah, go for it.

00:41:31.000 I didn't have enough time to do it.

00:41:32.740 I should have done it myself.

00:41:34.940 Cooperate in facilitating safe and dignified return

00:41:37.860 and readmission as well as sustainable reintegration.

00:41:41.520 Is that back to their countries of origin?

00:41:42.880 if so strip away everything else just have number 21 thank you yeah i don't i don't yeah i guess

00:41:47.560 that is that uh established mechanisms for the portability of social security entitlements and

00:41:53.080 earned benefits so you get to give them a bank account and send them home no no it means if you

00:42:00.860 come in as a social work social care whatever it is that the more stonson opened up that means that

00:42:07.540 you should be allowed to receive your pension in Lagos.

00:42:10.880 Okay, right, right.

00:42:12.140 Yeah, I guess that is it, yeah.

00:42:13.320 You should be allowed to receive a British pension in Lagos.

00:42:16.780 That, like...

00:42:17.720 Insane, insane.

00:42:21.320 Everyone knows what this is signalling.

00:42:23.180 Everyone, yeah, is aware.

00:42:25.540 Strengthen international cooperation and global partnership

00:42:28.060 for safe, orderly, and regular migration.

00:42:29.980 So again, it's just the statement of,

00:42:32.440 we want immigrants here,

00:42:34.080 here's how we're going to facilitate it

00:42:35.480 and make their life better.

00:42:37.100 That's what you just signed up to with, I think, Bangladesh and India.

00:42:40.360 Also what we have now signed up to by working with India as well.

00:42:44.160 And that's part of the trade agreement with India.

00:42:46.060 Yes.

00:42:47.120 Because there are just so many Europeans bursting to go and work in India.

00:42:51.060 Of course, yeah.

00:42:51.920 I mean, India just uses their biomass as a bargaining tool.

00:42:55.980 Modi is explicit about it.

00:42:58.280 They don't want them there.

00:42:59.180 Migration is always part of Indian trade deals.

00:43:01.800 And, you know, it's smart.

00:43:02.780 Well, on their part, you have to give them credit for that.

00:43:04.300 Yeah, until they come up against someone.

00:43:06.400 base and they're like no thanks yeah but i'm not a hindu nationalist yeah so i don't want it yeah

00:43:10.940 yeah as people may know india is being considered for our red list on uh as part of restore britain

00:43:16.160 policy oh that's encouraging considered well we're right in the paper at the moment all right

00:43:20.600 i don't want to rush it don't want to rush it well anyway so that's what the global

00:43:24.560 compact is for migration uh trump said no he said no to that so thank god brilliant well done

00:43:34.020 congrats uh this is on the department of state or the state department said last week the united

00:43:39.160 states refused to participate in the un's review of the global compact on migration the united

00:43:45.840 states objects to the global compact on migration and un efforts to facilitate replacement migration

00:43:51.020 to the united states and our western allies un agencies systematically facilitated mass migration

00:43:58.200 into america and europe even as citizens of these nations called for restrictions on migration now

00:44:05.020 the global compact's latest report urges nations to expand migration pathways and pursue

00:44:11.060 regularization of migrants basically just infinite flow this is the norm nobody's illegal

00:44:16.580 yeah delete your country yeah yeah delete it un agencies working with the ngos they fund

00:44:24.420 established a migration corridor through central america into the u.s border as the american people

00:44:30.240 suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration the u.n was on the ground pipelining

00:44:35.980 migrants to our southern border u.n officials greeted migrants along the route through the

00:44:41.840 deadly darien gap i've seen videos of that like there's bodies just all over the place it's awful

00:44:46.400 yeah it's really awful when they say deadly it's genuinely deadly um u.n funded ngos handed out

00:44:52.760 maps the migrants in routes of the u.s sounded very familiar isn't it sounding like there's a

00:44:56.780 very similar pattern here yeah similar to what we get oh i don't know uh on calais maybe you know

00:45:02.660 maybe it does it sounds like a well-oiled machine doesn't it yeah almost like people want it to

00:45:09.820 happen and so that's why they're not actually doing anything and then they just sort of you

00:45:13.820 know gerrymander their way to just continue it filibustering on migration anyway uh after

00:45:21.460 facilitating mass migration to the united states un agencies condemned the deportation of illegal

00:45:26.420 immigrants again very similar it's what we get here but via the echar instead uh as europe

00:45:32.580 endured sustained migratory pressure un officials staffed all ends of the mediterranean migration

00:45:39.640 route from the coast of libya to the shores of the aegean to the islands of greece that's

00:45:46.500 interesting isn't it i do like the fact they're calling them out here the un uh then un agencies

00:45:52.580 condemned frontline states who refused to open their borders oh we get a special mention whilst

00:45:58.960 the united kingdom faced unprecedented illegal boat crossings un agencies condemned plans for

00:46:05.160 deportations un officials lobbied aviation regulators to prevent the deportation of

00:46:12.120 migrants an appalling violation of the uk's national sovereignty why is the state department

00:46:17.280 speaking about this not the british government yeah yeah right right frustrating isn't it at

00:46:22.640 least someone is on our side the global compact on migration claims to support safe migration

00:46:30.040 for the for the citizens of western nations mass migration was never safe which we know

00:46:36.000 We have a multitude, a plethora of just the most heinous acts

00:46:41.200 committed on our people.

00:46:42.860 It is unfathomable to discuss them.

00:46:46.040 It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains,

00:46:49.460 and undermined the cohesion of our societies.

00:46:52.980 I like that.

00:46:53.740 I like it's our.

00:46:55.540 It's understanding that this is the Western world,

00:46:58.080 it's the Anglosphere, it's not necessarily Anglosphere,

00:47:00.940 but it's Europe as well.

00:47:01.960 Very specific.

00:47:03.460 We have a specific culture.

00:47:06.000 This is not good.

00:47:08.180 Everyone has rejected this outright.

00:47:10.940 But no one wants any of this.

00:47:12.920 The United States will not legitimise global compacts

00:47:16.060 that enable mass migration into America or Western nations.

00:47:20.220 Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration.

00:47:27.220 Oh, you love to see it, don't you?

00:47:29.600 You love to see that word.

00:47:31.800 Yeah.

00:47:32.840 It's amazing that this is coming out of the State Department.

00:47:35.200 Isn't it?

00:47:35.680 I mean, plenty of people have been hot and cold

00:47:37.820 on the Trump administration, but this is just gold dust.

00:47:39.940 I mean, that's huge.

00:47:40.620 Yeah.

00:47:41.300 That's huge.

00:47:41.980 It's a seismic moment.

00:47:42.780 It's a very powerful statement.

00:47:45.020 I am obviously very cautious about it,

00:47:48.600 given the fact that at the current moment,

00:47:51.940 Trump's administration have not yet been able to deport

00:47:55.040 merely the illegals that have arrived in America

00:47:59.020 in the most recent years.

00:48:00.620 The Biden wave.

00:48:01.860 And also as well, just, I mean, at what point as well

00:48:05.380 Or does it become about, you know, all those that Reagan let in as well who were illegal and given the amnesty?

00:48:10.540 But the other thing as well is now if this is the case and this word is now being picked up by Washington and don't misunderstand me.

00:48:18.880 It's a beautiful word. I love it.

00:48:21.920 There is a problem that those who are higher up get to define what it means as well.

00:48:27.980 And for us, remigration is very, very clear. We know what it means.

00:48:31.640 it's not just about the illegals it's also about the legals and all those you know foreign

00:48:36.080 communities that have been forced on us against our world that have alienated good honest europeans

00:48:42.040 up and down their nations the nations it was their birthright to inherit but when you have

00:48:48.000 a state as powerful as this i would be careful of the language games that they might try to play

00:48:54.180 agree well i was going to remark on the fact that this is all it seems about illegal migration yeah

00:48:59.240 It all seems to be couched in that kind of language.

00:49:01.460 And as you say, you know, obviously the British situation is different to the US situation.

00:49:07.040 But at Restore Britain, we have a quite clear distinction.

00:49:09.260 We will deport mass deportations for illegals, you know, by any means necessary, because these people are criminals who've entered our country illegally or entered legally and then stayed, or entered legally and stayed illegally over said visas and all the rest of it.

00:49:22.540 But actually, those who've come legally through legal channels over the last at least 30 years are the actual problem, because they are the ones that are, as you say, demographically transforming the country, reducing social cohesion in the places that they tend to coalesce.

00:49:37.880 And it is those people who also need to leave. And that doesn't mean like kicking in doors and all the rest of it.

00:49:42.400 But our policy is clear on this, and we're writing the actual, the paper on it at the moment, that if you can't speak English, if you don't work, if you take, you know, benefits, if you live in social housing, if you hate our way of life, you're gone, even if you came legally.

00:49:55.840 And that will apply to millions.

00:49:57.300 Yes.

00:49:57.880 And again, it's about the label you put on it.

00:50:00.080 Because, I mean, I've used the word remigration plenty, and, you know, plenty of others on the team and around Restore Britain have.

00:50:07.020 But reversing mass immigration is the point here.

00:50:09.260 And when you say about the US government basically being in a position to give definition to that word,

00:50:15.960 I do think that we need to do all we can to keep them honest in that regard.

00:50:20.020 Because it's not good enough to just talk about illegal migration.

00:50:23.280 What Restore is talking about is legal migration, reversing legal migration.

00:50:28.620 So not just stopping it where it is, not just net zero,

00:50:31.100 but actually taking active steps to reverse the demographic replacement of our people.

00:50:36.040 I'd also like to add, so the demographic that you were stating or stipulating, you know, the last 30 years, is the second order consequences of that cohort.

00:50:45.220 It's those second generation immigrants that are undoubtedly from data, some of the most volatile, violent and radical people.

00:50:53.600 They are the ones which we see time and time again, committing some of these disgusting and depraved acts.

00:50:59.400 So it's really important to, you know, it's not just them.

00:51:02.940 It's what they have also contributed to society.

00:51:06.040 or lack of contribution anyway um and yeah just says not replacement migration um and then you can

00:51:12.060 see you love to see it yeah so but this is a little bit more vague and we talked about the

00:51:21.100 illegal points there that they were making under president trump replacement migration

00:51:26.200 just replacement migration will never be the standard so that you can clearly define as

00:51:32.160 legal and illegal at that point yeah well again in terms of scale like it can only it can only

00:51:37.640 really mean legal because it is you know like illegal migration i know i know we're talking

00:51:41.860 about the u.s here but like in britain illegal migration is not really replacement migration

00:51:46.240 because the scale is so small yeah tip of the iceberg uh the united states objects to the

00:51:51.160 global compact on migration and u.n efforts to facilitate replacement migration which is just

00:51:55.360 beautiful thing i i will say despite my um you know caution about all of this as well and even

00:52:02.220 if the trump administration is not uh doing this going as far as we perhaps would want it to go for

00:52:08.680 the american people it is still a a good thing to not have uh the most powerful nation on earth

00:52:16.340 working in cooperation yeah with these international bodies this is at least well i mean he defunded

00:52:22.540 the un recently they were going to go bankrupt because they they didn't provide the um regular

00:52:28.180 funding they're like the un is insisting that this is money that's still owed that the americans need

00:52:32.140 to pay yeah which is an interesting take on sovereignty yeah a little bit isn't it um and

00:52:37.680 it's just signal boosting isn't it you know it's moving the overton window again even though your

00:52:43.680 points are completely justified to suggest well yes who's defining it etc but it still moves the

00:52:49.260 overton window pushes it into the limelight more and more becomes the norm it's it's part of

00:52:54.400 discourse which it needs to be push it into the limelight let's speak about it let's talk about

00:52:58.680 it honestly i am amazed by the uh rate at which the the discourse is is moving because yeah i

00:53:05.040 mean i agree i think it's just because you give people free speech after several decades of

00:53:09.080 policing yeah they're going to say what they actually think yeah well people have been

00:53:12.440 suffocated of any political outlet yes and then you know restore britain great yarmouth first

00:53:18.000 things that we do it gives people a vector is a bit of oxygen you can breathe now you can speak

00:53:23.160 i'll tell you something and then and then that's it yeah it all just floods out an experience from

00:53:27.480 uh from great yarmouth was uh you know knocking on doors of the people that you know just canvassing

00:53:33.580 essentially uh and speaking to people in great yarmouth and like yeah sure it's only one town

00:53:37.480 but as i say it's quite a good microcosm of the country like so many of the people that i spoke

00:53:41.740 to who said that they who said that they were going to vote for us and hopefully did and

00:53:45.300 apparently did um are what the mainstream press would call like far-right extremists like their

00:53:50.940 view of what's going on in britain uh their view of what should happen uh you know if you think

00:53:55.560 that restored britain's radical you know yeah yeah um and then i just want to close with a little

00:54:02.980 little commentary from trump here to uh we're starlin

00:54:07.240 You've got one of the greatest oil finds anywhere in the world.

00:54:10.920 Just turn it up a bit, Samson, thank you.

00:54:12.100 You're not allowed to use it.

00:54:13.900 And it's one of the best in the world, among the best oils in the world.

00:54:17.480 Open up your oil in the North Sea and get tough on immigration.

00:54:22.260 Should he stay or go?

00:54:23.100 Europe is being very, very hurt by immigration.

00:54:26.560 It's all over the world.

00:54:27.460 Should he stay or go?

00:54:28.980 That's up to him.

00:54:30.380 But I told him from day one, we're going to build on energy.

00:54:33.840 The wind will leave your country to death.

00:54:35.960 you're windmilling the country to death i just saw a report that the actual lifespan of windmills

00:54:43.780 is not 25 years as advertised but only 10 to 15 great i can't believe that none of them will turn

00:54:50.820 a profit brilliant and you still need and you still need the subsidies well you still need

00:54:55.560 fossil fuels to get them to run anyway because they need oil oiling funnily enough machinery

00:54:59.260 where he needs oiling.

00:55:00.400 So remigration, it's inevitable.

00:55:04.120 All right, good theme.

00:55:05.540 I'll quickly dart through some of the rumble rants.

00:55:11.000 I've got Busted Britain for $5, thank you,

00:55:14.120 says regarding Restore's upward momentum,

00:55:16.900 have there been discussions or contingencies drawn

00:55:19.340 about the party's approach to a situation

00:55:21.820 where Starmer calls a snap election if he's ousted?

00:55:26.040 We've talked about that plenty,

00:55:27.320 but I'm not going to reveal what our strategy

00:55:29.040 would be on a public forum smart man okay uh that's random no uh i see it i can't read it

00:55:35.120 i see it i see you random name uh logan pine says the only mass um the only mass immigration i'll

00:55:42.320 accept is also yeah also i love right okay i you know what he wants a bunch of women to come yeah

00:55:48.420 um anyway i i see the comments i can't really read them given the circumstances of being live

00:55:54.460 on air. But with that, we'll move on to your segment. I think Yes Minister is one of those

00:56:04.720 genius shows that is severely underappreciated. Such a classic. And because of copyright strikes,

00:56:11.640 I have to read some of the lines of Jim Hacker describing the wonderful bunch who are backbench

00:56:18.200 MPs. And his wife asks him if aren't backbench MPs actually underpaid. And he goes,

00:56:24.460 Underpaid? Being an MP is a vast subsidized ego trip. It's a job for which you need no

00:56:31.560 qualifications, there are no compulsory hours of work, no performance standards, you get a warm

00:56:36.560 room and subsidized meals for a bunch of self-opinionated windbags and busybodies who

00:56:42.460 suddenly find people taking them seriously because they've got the letters MP after their names.

00:56:48.400 how can they be underpaid when there are about 200 applicants for every vacancy

00:56:53.940 you could fill every seat 20 times over even if they had to pay to do the job

00:56:58.940 I'm of the view that Keir Starmer very strongly agrees with this diagnosis

00:57:04.940 sorry state of our political class though as well it is what it became horrific state it was known

00:57:12.000 in the 80s that this has become the case um and it's worth reminding people that it is the case

00:57:19.000 because Keir Starmer seems to have gotten the measure of his um MPs and decided that that's

00:57:25.740 exactly how he is going to treat them jump to move it on um there's a bunch of memes going on

00:57:31.780 which are brilliant for those of you who don't know this is a copy of the um the uh kind of coup

00:57:39.660 in Myanmar, where some lady was doing her yoga lessons and accidentally caught a bunch of military

00:57:46.300 vehicles going in to overthrow the government, there is some expectation that this will happen

00:57:51.300 here. I hope springs eternal. Hope springs eternal. But there are other things that are going on,

00:58:03.200 because it seems that West Streeting may or may not have blown his chance at unseating Starmer.

00:58:11.280 It looked like that when I was preparing the segment,

00:58:14.840 but since then he has confirmed that he will be trying to mount a leadership challenge

00:58:19.960 because he visited Starmer for a grand total of 16 minutes.

00:58:24.280 That was insane.

00:58:25.780 Before being promptly kicked out.

00:58:27.740 And some people made the comparison with Margaret Thatcher's visit to Ted Heath,

00:58:32.240 which lasted for again 15 minutes 10 of which he spent talking to other people

00:58:37.280 because he'd only spoken to her for five i mean you really don't have any social skills if you're

00:58:42.220 going to look at your top threat and you know treat him with real real massive disdain and

00:58:48.820 and sort of i mean even if the disdain is entirely justified but i agree but if you were smart you

00:58:55.760 would try and placate him a little bit the the disdain is justified because yes it seems that

00:59:01.200 West Streeting is going to resign and mount a leadership challenge, but then what do we know

00:59:05.540 about West Streeting? He's meant to. And not only is he someone who thinks that children should be

00:59:11.760 given basically sterilization drugs because they might be in the wrong body. He's not just that

00:59:19.380 kind of insane. He also thinks that Tony Blair is a hero and supports him basically becoming the

00:59:26.560 grand governor of the middle east which under some circumstances i might support as well but

00:59:32.080 let's see you know i can conversation i can believe that he's going to do this right because

00:59:37.260 it's just rumor at the moment isn't it yes he's going to do it i can believe he's going to do

00:59:40.620 this because this is the guy that openly said i'm going to lose my seat at the next election

00:59:44.480 yes so it is actually now or never quite frankly yes it is maybe if maybe you wouldn't be losing

00:59:50.740 your seat at the next election whereas if you hadn't advocated for mass immigration your entire

00:59:55.760 political career and watching none basically turn against you i do like i mean like this there's a

01:00:01.620 part of starmer that i do actually really like and that's that he's he's dealing with all of

01:00:05.960 these idiots like in in january when uh andy burnham was like quite openly saying yeah i'm

01:00:10.320 gonna run to be an mp and go on and denton and then take on starmer for the leadership and

01:00:13.780 someone was just like no you're not yes it's like west street has been saying like yeah i'm

01:00:19.560 gonna challenge starmer for the leadership and starmer just sits there and it's just like

01:00:22.600 I think so, mate.

01:00:24.680 Fair enough.

01:00:27.080 You know, as part of his career,

01:00:29.660 he's part of the old parliamentary group

01:00:32.480 for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

01:00:34.480 Right.

01:00:35.100 The idea that was promoted by Klaus Schwab at the time

01:00:39.120 of the World Economic Forum.

01:00:40.940 Blair as well.

01:00:41.460 And Blair.

01:00:43.920 He's a big anti-Semitism campaigner.

01:00:46.800 He's on the all-party parliamentary group

01:00:49.240 against anti-Semitism

01:00:50.480 and was co-chair of the...

01:00:53.420 He wants to flood the country with Muslims.

01:00:55.260 Why is wrong with you?

01:00:56.000 How do his constituents feel about that?

01:00:57.740 How do you pass that up, Wes?

01:01:00.140 Come on now.

01:01:01.960 He was the co-chair of the old party parliamentary group

01:01:04.720 on British Jews as well.

01:01:06.040 Of course he was.

01:01:06.880 And he gets money from all kinds of private interests.

01:01:12.620 Of course he does.

01:01:13.060 The private healthcare sector,

01:01:14.520 some suppliers or potential suppliers to the NHS.

01:01:19.080 That looks like a corporate interest.

01:01:20.480 a friend of the working man

01:01:24.300 as a Labour MP

01:01:25.020 and a bunch of hedge funds

01:01:27.180 to complete the picture

01:01:28.440 because you're not truly a friend of the working man

01:01:31.820 unless you take money from a bunch of hedge funds

01:01:33.800 you know

01:01:34.960 fair enough

01:01:36.680 so yeah

01:01:40.280 this is kind of

01:01:41.980 West Streeting

01:01:42.740 and he makes Keir Starmer look good

01:01:45.840 but then the others who are calling

01:01:48.020 on Keir Starmer to resign

01:01:49.300 I mean, one of the most high-profile ones was Jess Phillips.

01:01:52.320 I mean, honestly, just good riddance.

01:01:54.040 Yeah.

01:01:54.420 But also, the reason why she left was...

01:01:57.180 The actual reason why she said...

01:01:59.340 What she said...

01:02:00.480 Actually insane.

01:02:01.320 Was insane.

01:02:02.140 Yeah.

01:02:02.520 What she said was that...

01:02:03.560 We don't have access to everything.

01:02:05.040 Exactly.

01:02:06.180 That Keir Starmer could have passed legislation

01:02:08.320 that would have essentially forced all cameras on phones

01:02:12.780 to have some kind of spyware

01:02:15.080 to make sure that there weren't inappropriate

01:02:17.880 underage images of children.

01:02:19.300 I'm sorry, have you lost your damn mind?

01:02:23.000 Yeah, I mean...

01:02:25.020 Have you lost your damn mind?

01:02:26.880 Chia Starmer protecting our freedoms.

01:02:29.420 And do you think that it's...

01:02:31.740 Who do you think the biggest threat to children is?

01:02:34.360 The illegal migrants and the Pakistani legal migrants

01:02:37.300 or the phones?

01:02:39.580 Like, which one is it?

01:02:41.340 It's an epidemic of phones.

01:02:43.420 It's really...

01:02:44.140 Same as knives.

01:02:45.140 They just keep stabbing.

01:02:46.020 It's a mic epidemic.

01:02:47.200 It's a phone epidemic.

01:02:48.220 It's just mad.

01:02:49.300 And then one of her assistants also resigned to sort of signal that, yeah, they're against Starmer, but whatever.

01:02:55.360 Another guy who resigned, someone who I've never absolutely heard of, Zubair Ahmed,

01:03:01.640 who is health and innovation, health, innovation and safety minister.

01:03:05.600 In which country?

01:03:07.660 Yeah.

01:03:08.420 You're not going to tell me Britain, are you?

01:03:11.340 Sorry.

01:03:12.820 Sorry.

01:03:13.960 It is what it is.

01:03:15.240 There was a few names that came out that I just looked at and went.

01:03:18.460 Are you from Naboo?

01:03:19.300 katoine perhaps what are you doing here go away the beauty of it is how in their resignation

01:03:26.620 letters these guys try to polish up their cvs and highlight their wonderful achievements under

01:03:33.420 starmer but only now really there's a problem with them like this isn't some

01:03:39.680 it's not the job interview you think it is it's not the kind of job interview that you think it is

01:03:47.380 that's the actual point and so he's bragging about what he's done with the nhs and how the

01:03:53.360 nhs has become one more wonderful under his leadership and everybody's going who the hell

01:03:57.980 are you has it it's like counterpoint starmer doesn't care yeah he just wants he wants to stay

01:04:04.440 prime minister damn your resignation actors uh and he tries to be as i raise my gaze above the daily

01:04:12.100 work of ministerial life it is clear to see that whatever the magnitude of individual achievements

01:04:17.180 of progress what they are now being dwarfed and undermined by a lack of values driven leadership

01:04:22.940 at the center that sounds like ai to me it's it's it's funny yeah it's funny but you have the same

01:04:32.440 exact values as keir starmer you just want him to go faster also talks like that as well yes

01:04:37.900 did they really need the recent results to question his values to understand that everyone

01:04:44.240 hated queer Stalin.

01:04:46.040 Yes.

01:04:47.320 He's the most unpopular

01:04:48.980 prime minister

01:04:49.460 of all time.

01:04:52.320 It's been that way

01:04:53.460 for a very long time.

01:04:55.160 The really messed up bit

01:04:56.280 about the values thing

01:04:57.440 is that

01:04:58.540 what sort of

01:04:59.720 began the latest

01:05:01.340 downfall episode

01:05:02.440 of Starmer

01:05:03.080 was the Mandelson files.

01:05:05.760 But

01:05:06.360 Wes Freeting

01:05:07.460 is one of Mandelson's

01:05:09.000 protégés.

01:05:09.620 Oh yeah.

01:05:10.340 And was exchanging

01:05:11.560 love hearts with him

01:05:12.540 on his text messages.

01:05:13.640 Oh gosh.

01:05:14.240 So really, is this really an upgrade in values?

01:05:22.240 Is this really an upgrade in values, Mr. Zubair Ahmed?

01:05:26.440 I don't understand.

01:05:28.860 And then he goes on about how he's worried about his parliamentary seat.

01:05:31.960 But then you see, okay, Starmer is right about these people.

01:05:36.900 And he's right to treat them with contempt.

01:05:38.320 And here Dan Hodges explains that after Shabana Mahmoud's people leaked the fact that she's asked Starmer to resign, he decided, F you all, you're going to have to drag me out.

01:05:52.800 Fair enough.

01:05:54.800 Fair enough.

01:05:55.440 Solidarity, Keir.

01:05:56.400 I mean, because he treats them with contempt because they deserve it.

01:06:02.880 i love how we're all sort of projecting onto keir starmer this like just like this persona that he's

01:06:07.840 actually like this like heroic figure i'm looking at what's being said i'm looking at what's being

01:06:13.900 said here i love it it's so funny and as an example of this content he told them that look

01:06:19.060 you can talk to me afterwards if you want me to resign and then he said no i'm not going to speak

01:06:24.780 to any of you oh yeah i'm i'll be and then he said i'm busy for three months that was that was the

01:06:30.760 most impressive so yeah sorry i'm busy for three months mate i'm busy for the next three months

01:06:36.060 like a subject waiting for an appointment with the monarch i will say this i will say this and

01:06:43.060 i said it earlier is that this although it's you know funny and we're having a laugh about it right

01:06:49.120 now this can unfortunately really backfire because the public hates yes armor with such

01:06:56.740 a magnitude unfathomable right yes so the longer he stays when someone eventually replaces him

01:07:04.960 that may unfortunately be seen very very beneficial you know lots of people may look

01:07:11.360 at that and go that's great love that that will then raise labor in the polls like if he let me

01:07:17.080 comfort you on that concern if i may well but the king's speech yes and the things that they're

01:07:22.340 suggesting they're going to do and push through which is probably why he's busy for the next

01:07:25.620 three months yes would seemingly indicate that no matter what comes after and people are going

01:07:29.580 to go oh you're so much better well and that can backfire with him having prevented Andy Burnham

01:07:35.840 from running who is at the end of the day I mean for for those of us who forget Andy Burnham was

01:07:41.720 seen as a bit of a joke and as someone incompetent and unserious and then he became mayor of

01:07:46.620 Manchester and somehow that made him great I I don't understand it but the other two contenders

01:07:52.600 are essentially, other than Wes Streeting,

01:07:56.240 who was Mandelson's man, Angela Rayner and Ed Miliband.

01:08:02.940 Now, Angela Rayner, it's a sort of race to the bottom

01:08:07.440 as to who between those two is likely to tank the economy faster.

01:08:14.780 Because these guys' views on how the economy works

01:08:19.800 are genuinely laughable.

01:08:21.100 sorry i had to just sort of i like it yeah i mean yeah i mean come on one of the things i was just

01:08:30.280 replying to um one of morgoth's bangers from yesterday and it was just the fact that you

01:08:34.460 know everyone's having fun with the memes making starmer it's like look we are making the map the

01:08:39.680 the uncoolest man in britain yeah look cool in a way that his allies have never been able to

01:08:46.800 Even if it's ironically.

01:08:48.440 We have just memed him into...

01:08:51.080 Speaking of Morgoth, this is a banger.

01:08:53.600 Yeah, this is a banger.

01:08:54.560 Because that's exactly what it is.

01:08:57.000 Yeah.

01:08:57.520 Angela Rayner or Ed Miliband will absolutely destroy the economy

01:09:01.260 and there is zero chance in hell that the left of the Labour Party

01:09:05.000 will tolerate West Streeting.

01:09:06.940 They will not tolerate him.

01:09:08.260 I think they've already said that, haven't they?

01:09:09.420 They've signal boosted that...

01:09:10.420 They've pretty much said that they don't want him there

01:09:13.180 and that they are not going to tolerate him.

01:09:15.820 and star mary is resorting to some sort of the memes they just keep coming they just keep coming

01:09:27.000 uh he's resort to some unorthodox tactics in terms of declaring how much support he has yeah this

01:09:33.480 was interesting wasn't it i've got loads of mates honest and then they're like mates well i've only

01:09:39.580 met you once so there are you why is my name on this on this on this list what's going on it's

01:09:45.920 it's just like he's resorting to some unorthodox tactics but that is because he knows it's a bold

01:09:52.460 strategy yes lie his way to popularity i mean what it is how he got into power he said he was

01:09:59.860 corbin's friend and he said that he was a full-on supporter a full-on supporter of corbin so you

01:10:05.540 I love the idea of, you know, Starmer reading this

01:10:09.620 and maybe sitting down with this Rupert Huck

01:10:11.700 whose name he's written on this list

01:10:14.440 and he's just going like,

01:10:15.720 what are you going to do about it?

01:10:19.220 And what?

01:10:21.140 Do you want to remove your name from Rupert?

01:10:23.120 It reminds me of Egyptian voting jokes,

01:10:25.100 but that's a conversation for another time.

01:10:27.140 Here's the pen and paper.

01:10:28.780 Remove it if you want.

01:10:29.920 There you go.

01:10:31.320 There you go.

01:10:31.960 Passes of Tippex.

01:10:32.840 basically he knows that he has them by shall we say the short and curlies because if he calls a

01:10:40.460 general election they will never be employed again they are unemployable people who were

01:10:45.640 shoved into so this is the thing he will always have speaking as as someone who was prime minister

01:10:54.000 for two years he will always be able to command a couple hundred thousand grand for every speech

01:10:58.580 that he makes.

01:10:59.280 Or he'll do what

01:10:59.900 Nick Craig did.

01:11:01.080 Exactly.

01:11:01.620 Disappear to go and

01:11:02.460 work for Big Tech

01:11:03.280 or whatever it is.

01:11:04.340 There are so many

01:11:04.820 places that they're

01:11:06.160 able to just fail

01:11:06.980 or put in to.

01:11:07.920 I mean, he probably

01:11:09.020 can call in some

01:11:10.380 favours from Palantir

01:11:11.420 given that he's

01:11:12.460 giving them access

01:11:13.080 to everybody's data

01:11:13.980 and supporting

01:11:14.700 the digital IDs.

01:11:15.940 So he has other

01:11:17.620 career opportunities.

01:11:21.660 Rupa Hook might

01:11:22.900 or might not.

01:11:23.720 i don't know i'll tell the line if i were you my advice essentially that's that's what what

01:11:34.780 they're being told and you could see that really it's total contempt for them but you could also

01:11:40.920 see that this is a wider european problem yeah well yeah you think none of the leaders of europe

01:11:47.000 have positive ratings.

01:11:51.040 It's almost like they're ignoring

01:11:52.400 what everyone wants them to do

01:11:54.040 in favour of some other mandate.

01:11:56.660 To be fair to Starmer,

01:11:58.260 he's not as bad as Macron or Mertz.

01:12:01.040 I mean, barely.

01:12:02.100 But just about.

01:12:03.760 Just about.

01:12:05.380 How is Macron still here, man?

01:12:07.280 It's been so long.

01:12:09.900 How did he get there?

01:12:11.220 How did he go from being a lot of child banker

01:12:13.240 to becoming president of France?

01:12:14.620 I don't get it.

01:12:17.000 And he's in the Epstein files, which is a completely different conversation for another time.

01:12:25.420 So Keir Starmer might go.

01:12:28.100 The SNP this afternoon is going to try to force a vote of no confidence.

01:12:31.820 Tomorrow, West Streeting is going to trigger a leadership contest.

01:12:35.820 But in a way, he has a trump card, which is I'm going to call an early election.

01:12:40.800 and if he doesn't and we do end up with Angela Rayner or Ed Miliband um the economy is going to

01:12:51.540 crash Liz Truss who it's going to be a banking crisis of epic proportions because well we're

01:12:59.860 going to get that anyway to it has to happen it's one of those things that you're like well

01:13:03.420 just rip the band-aid off like I'm not an accelerationist but this is going to happen

01:13:07.800 yes

01:13:08.300 this is an unavoidable

01:13:09.820 trajectory

01:13:10.360 all we're doing

01:13:11.280 currently is

01:13:11.940 you know

01:13:12.460 we're on a sinking ship

01:13:13.540 and we're just

01:13:13.940 the rate at which

01:13:15.600 we can sort of

01:13:16.160 chuck some water out

01:13:17.060 is keeping us afloat

01:13:17.900 a little bit

01:13:18.480 we're still going down

01:13:19.700 yes

01:13:20.100 yes

01:13:21.060 it's like sort of

01:13:23.080 you know

01:13:23.400 tossing bucketfuls

01:13:24.720 of water

01:13:25.080 from the Titanic

01:13:26.060 yeah

01:13:26.500 there is a hole

01:13:28.380 in the hull

01:13:29.080 and it's not going anywhere

01:13:30.180 Angela Rayner

01:13:31.000 and Ed Miliband

01:13:32.000 just saying

01:13:32.340 what if we drop a bomb

01:13:33.160 on the boat

01:13:33.600 maybe that one

01:13:34.100 creative

01:13:36.900 it will get the water out of the boat

01:13:38.940 because there won't be a boat anymore

01:13:40.320 a second iceberg has hit the ship

01:13:42.880 swap the engines for a windmill

01:13:46.580 that will help

01:13:48.880 I mean

01:13:50.540 the gilt yields are

01:13:52.680 at historic highs

01:13:53.860 not since 1988

01:13:56.260 it looks like they don't have

01:14:02.920 any way of increasing their spending

01:14:04.860 and you know that Miliband

01:14:06.880 and Rayner are both going to try to increase spending

01:14:09.000 and give more welfare

01:14:10.780 and open the

01:14:12.900 doors further to immigration, etc.

01:14:15.300 I mean, Shabana Mahmoud

01:14:16.800 is going to be better than

01:14:18.980 whoever Miliband or Rayner

01:14:20.840 appoint for the Home Office, to be fair.

01:14:24.860 Gosh. I'm just saying it in my mind's eye,

01:14:26.940 like the, you know, the Miliband

01:14:28.800 cabinet, like who he's surrounded by.

01:14:31.840 Oh my gosh. Not his brother,

01:14:33.100 that's for sure.

01:14:33.680 It is going to be absolutely horrific.

01:14:39.540 And everybody in the know in the markets is saying that there is a bond market revolt coming along with a big rise in interest rates, which is on the plus side going to put downward pressure on the housing market.

01:14:55.840 On the negative side, it is going to increase the prices of absolutely everything and make a lot of people's mortgages unaffordable.

01:15:08.620 So, you know, let's see.

01:15:12.080 RBC is warning against this.

01:15:13.920 Commerce Bank is warning against this.

01:15:16.720 Royal London Asset Management is saying disaster is coming.

01:15:21.860 Mizuho is saying it's a disaster.

01:15:23.740 Pretty much the entirety of the experts of the financial market are saying that, really, replacing Keir Starmer is going to trigger a bond crisis.

01:15:34.760 And this might be the only way out, but it's not going to be pretty.

01:15:37.660 It really isn't going to be pretty.

01:15:40.280 Because these guys think that the markets will have to fall in line.

01:15:46.640 The left believes—

01:15:48.120 I'm going to go and have a meeting with the markets.

01:15:49.600 Yes, exactly.

01:15:50.040 Tell them to fall in line.

01:15:51.180 Exactly.

01:15:53.740 These people are genuinely retarded.

01:15:56.580 I'm going to go to the Shard and tell the markets what for.

01:16:00.180 Really give it to them with both barrels.

01:16:02.260 They're so stupid, aren't they?

01:16:04.160 They're unbelievable.

01:16:05.680 I have to read you this line to highlight the stupidity.

01:16:09.840 If the government introduced progressive policies

01:16:12.660 that do speak to our communities,

01:16:16.060 investors would see that the UK was the best place to be.

01:16:20.300 No, you moron.

01:16:22.660 what will be bankrupt yeah so you're going to go to you're going to go to capitalist hq and tell

01:16:30.080 the markets to fall in line yes by promising football pitches in croy i mean the only way

01:16:35.260 that they could do this is to compel them to buy british bonds yeah to change the law to force them

01:16:43.080 to eat more bonds but the kind of inflation that this will trigger will be absolutely catastrophic

01:16:50.100 and you will have to raise interest rates

01:16:52.900 to the double digits to be able to cope with it.

01:16:56.260 Meaning that the debt will also explode

01:16:58.540 and then it's a race.

01:17:00.160 Does the debt devalue faster than inflation or not?

01:17:04.680 You end up essentially with a Turkey scenario

01:17:07.300 of an endlessly collapsing currency.

01:17:09.880 You have to fight every year with your employer

01:17:12.440 for a 50% pay rise,

01:17:14.100 but in real terms, it's more like a 5% pay cut.

01:17:20.100 This is where these people will take the country.

01:17:22.360 And Starmer knows that they're idiots,

01:17:24.740 which is why he is treating them with such contempt.

01:17:29.140 So it's a choice between evil retard and more evil retard.

01:17:36.380 But in the meantime, Starmer is not letting up

01:17:39.340 because we just had the King speech today.

01:17:42.300 And here are some of the commitments.

01:17:45.060 More effort to tackle anti-Semitism.

01:17:47.160 That was pretty much at the beginning of the speech.

01:17:49.560 That's right. That's definitely the most pressing.

01:17:52.000 That's the priority right now.

01:17:52.720 That's the most pressing. Definitely. Definitely.

01:17:55.280 Anyway, nationalisation of British steel, which seems like a decent enough idea.

01:17:59.920 I'm actually for that. What's left of the steel industry.

01:18:02.340 Yes, exactly. Like, save it. But it needs energy, which has to come from the North Sea.

01:18:08.100 Yes.

01:18:08.820 Otherwise, you're just taking on their losses and adding to the government's debts.

01:18:13.380 Yeah, I made a daily about this that will come out today.

01:18:16.220 yeah, fine, nationalized British steel, I'm in favor of that, because at least then it's not

01:18:20.300 going to be taken advantage of by India's Tata, or, you know, Chinese yingay and everything. Yeah,

01:18:26.100 keep it safe, keep it British. But that in isolation will not be enough. It also requires,

01:18:32.620 you know, lowering of energy prices as well. And frankly, they're not willing to touch any

01:18:37.840 of the policies that will actually bring that down. Exactly. Because he doubles down on more

01:18:43.420 climate regulation oh of course he does he says he's going to invest in nuclear but that's a 10

01:18:48.080 year prospect by which time so much is dead you have to drill today um he commits to essentially

01:18:55.540 more foreign aid more export of feminism more eu integration more support for ukraine if only there

01:19:03.900 was a country on the border of europe with energy abundance that could supply cheap energy and

01:19:09.740 stably if only that was an option i don't know uh and he's got a safeguard civil service

01:19:16.460 impartiality because we all know how impartial the civil service has been with nadim zahawi

01:19:21.720 cheering antonio romeo was her name that's right yeah who is the queen of woke yeah in the civil

01:19:27.060 service dame antonio romeo to you oh sorry i'm a plebeian and i don't know my uh titles properly

01:19:33.500 No, no, please forgive me.

01:19:35.480 But he could go further.

01:19:38.880 He could go for proportional representation.

01:19:41.500 Yeah.

01:19:42.380 He could pass that.

01:19:44.840 That's an interesting point.

01:19:46.480 He could use Labour's weakness against it

01:19:49.200 to double down on his control of it

01:19:51.340 and ensure that he ends up in Parliament

01:19:53.600 as the leader of a party.

01:19:54.940 That would suit his self-interest.

01:19:57.160 And he could just keep crashing down this course

01:19:59.660 if they don't overthrow him.

01:20:01.380 So let's see.

01:20:02.060 It's going to be an interesting couple of days,

01:20:03.700 but the Starminator has taken the measure

01:20:06.780 of the labor backbenches,

01:20:09.520 and he's absolutely right.

01:20:12.140 He's absolutely right about them.

01:20:13.980 It's just that he's just as bad himself.

01:20:16.420 Yeah.

01:20:17.560 He happens to be the best of an absolutely horrific bunch.

01:20:23.020 And Best is doing a lot of heavy lifting here,

01:20:25.200 and it's quite relative.

01:20:26.960 But here we are.

01:20:28.560 Hold on, Miss Palmerston.

01:20:32.060 used to be a proper country once yes yeah um so um uh for five dollars a drunk changing says

01:20:41.260 stammer holding 24-hour whips uh with the ukrainians or without

01:20:45.620 yeah and that's all going on in the background

01:20:51.020 apparently i have to say this apparently vladimir putin decided to go after keir starmer

01:20:59.560 and so he sent him a bunch of ukrainian rent boys to burn a second-hand car that he used to own

01:21:05.900 like very likely vladimir putin the evil genius is going to take over europe what is his master

01:21:13.320 plan he's got to send some ukrainian rent boys to burn his second-hand car which he doesn't own

01:21:18.680 anymore it's not genius not like they previously you know poisoned people on our land no no no

01:21:23.740 we're just going to set fire to tangentially related cars to a really unpopular man's car

01:21:29.900 that will bring down the british government yeah that's believe it's a 60 chess man

01:21:36.000 um reports of gunfire at number 10 rumors say starmer is in the pile of cocaine

01:21:42.920 when we're streeting attacked with automatic weapons yeah i mean honestly all of the the

01:21:47.620 death of starling memes yeah in particular i've just been so funny so so funny i saw west uh i

01:21:54.520 saw west street in a in a bar in westminster once oh yeah i was with uh harrison pitless

01:21:59.820 bratball and conor thompson the four of us which didn't have okay oh yeah and he i don't feel like

01:22:03.380 i'm assuming he doesn't know who we are but he was a look at proper looking at us as he walked

01:22:07.220 past us we were sort of looking at him like well where's how you doing mate looking forward to

01:22:12.800 premiership panicking uh cookie boy says ferrous this segment should have come with a trigger

01:22:18.140 warning uh and uh for two dollars bald eagle says if the starminator does destroy labor and causes

01:22:24.980 a massive rest um massive reset of the system will he be viewed as a hero or a useful idiot

01:22:31.460 in history uh i'll tell you what i'll let beau decide that one when he writes a history of the

01:22:37.420 21st century well we'll let that go ahead all right uh video comments samson do we have any

01:22:43.720 yeah okay then i'll just go through a few comments from uh my segment we'll do them tomorrow check

01:22:52.420 my yep okay so uh russian garbage humans says uh from uh this segment look at uh look sorry look

01:23:01.820 what one more Kurdish aqua massage barbers on the on the Great Yarmouth High Street I'm sure that

01:23:08.780 the market demand is there right uh truly yeah clearly the voters have definitely endorsed that

01:23:14.320 good to see you there by the way yes uh see here speak says we do sorry we have to do all that

01:23:21.820 we can to ensure that labor stay in power to 2029 and the law restore retirement to rally well I

01:23:28.460 think that we need to let labor collapse totally utterly so there is nothing to rebuild from yeah

01:23:35.060 and the same for the tories for that matter as well you know give them longer to fade into

01:23:40.140 obscurity and then you know the real fight can come between restore and the greens uh and they're

01:23:46.420 going to get steamrolled yeah um because they're not as popular as they think they are just on that

01:23:51.140 i mean that we did some polling recently that had um it was reform like the order of uh of

01:23:57.800 popularity of the parties reform the greens uh labor tories us and the lib dems and obviously

01:24:03.900 it's relative because we're a small party it compares all those other ones so we're doing

01:24:06.660 very well in that context but i just thought that's sort of three visions of britain there

01:24:10.560 because you've got reform versus the greens as kind of you know right versus left yeah which is

01:24:14.600 kind of what the paradigm that we're in now is and you've got labor versus the tories which is

01:24:18.520 obviously the previous paradigm but then you've got restored britain versus the lib dems as like

01:24:22.360 the right versus the left and it's like visions of based world like the lib dems being like the

01:24:26.580 left-wing party yeah i would just love to see that yeah uh from uh your segment nate we've got

01:24:32.640 jimbo says oh there's definitely benefits to migration nate uh we just happen to be paying

01:24:38.440 them oh yeah paying for them yeah paying for them yeah uh and az desert route says uh the un needs

01:24:44.960 to quit acting as a legislative body it was meant to be a peace peace peacekeeping body it's not

01:24:50.660 exactly keeping a peace no it's really terrible at that part as well and uh then do you just want

01:24:55.160 to read some from your oh yeah sure for us sure uh let me have a look uh sophie says david lammy

01:25:04.220 kira please you must step down kira starmer i'm afraid i can't do that dave yeah pretty much

01:25:08.640 yeah exactly exactly it's really thousand yeah yeah um as the big yin said many years ago the

01:25:18.900 simple desire to be a politician should automatically bar you for life from ever becoming one

01:25:23.640 yes and no yes and no if you don't take responsibility you will be ruled by people

01:25:30.200 like the labor back benches uh and michael says so the king's speech of charles is the polar

01:25:36.600 opposite of his grandfather's why should we be surprised charles did support bringing his uncle

01:25:42.640 edward the traitor king back into the royal fold that's an interesting point story for another time

01:25:48.760 And an honourable mention saying that you get the award for best dressed today, Nate.
