There's plenty of money left in the pockets of the grifters and their sponsors. All Labour have to do is get it instead of taking on the role of grifters.

That won't happen with Labour or any Government that has a P.M. who prefers Davos to Westminster. Expecially when it is rumoured that Blair could be the next to head the W.E.F.

Labour should dump the whole of the UK's anti Trade Union legislation in the waist bin.

Remember PFI were going to get more of the same, a Privatized NHS.

Starmer's Labour has willingly allowed its hands to be tied by corporate power, billionaire moguls and Blairite ghouls from the past :-(

Tax the holders of the wealth assets! The people who own the debts, the infrastructure, the buildings don't pay tax due to having accounts and living status abroad. They should pay. Otherwise they're just stealing from us.

Ban foxhunting. They've had 20 years of self policing, yet the modern use of drones by hunt sabs has shown the ongoing breaches of hunting with hounds law. They've had their chance, taken the piss, so shut them down. Also bring in Scots law across the UK to better protect endangered species (especially raptors) And increase UK national parks in terms of both area and quality to meet international minimum standards. Niche stuff - but it could be delivered by DEFRA in short order with little cost.

Let’s start with returning workers rights for collective action, and making zero hours contracts and fire& rehire illegal.

De-criminalising drug use would involve no cost,save money on policing,courts,prison,probation etc,and could even produce revenue by licensing and taxing the drug industry.

We can always hope. Tackling poverty should be number one priority and removing the two child benefit cap a must.

When Labour won't even acknowledge the inherent and gross unfairness of *how* they gained their massive majority far less plan to do anything about it, I reckon it's not being cynical to doubt their capacity to do what Murphy is suggesting.

Having been interested in politics for many years, I’ve always listened and compared. Westminster governments seem unable to consider looking outwards, at other Countries, to see how things are done differently and possibly better.

There's plenty of money, but it's sitting in offshore tax havens.

We can always hope.

This is a great idea, and I like your suggestions which I've been watching - thank you very much! 🙏

Just to confirm, I will be watching the series, go knows we need the solutions!

We desperately need fair rent controls. They had the debate and changed the law so tennants can have a pet instead 😂 I don't think our parlintarians who are 80% landlords ever seriously considered rent controls. Do you ? 😂

One big caveat is they don't want to make things better. It's a government of managed decline.

Labour is now the New conservative party and conservative Government. Labour has completely lost its way and will never be the same again.

But they won't.

Agree Richard , 🙌

Labour now is no different from the Tories.

perfect, thank you

Sadly, the newly elected UK prime minister is on record as saying that he prefers the policies of Davos and the WEF to those of Westminster.

I think that the "mainstream" parties in the UK are gripped by austerity mania, they can´t think about problems any other way. To give the new government their due, one thing I think they will be better at than the Tories is day-to-day running of government departments, but that´s not enough to sort out the big structural problems the UK has. There are plenty of decent policies we could implement that wouldn´t cost the government a lot as you say, i.e Corbyn´s policy of requiring companies to give their workers shares and seats on the board of directors is a great one. Another good policy would be to give workers protection from unfair dismissal after 6 months instead of two years. I think it´s utterly ludicrous to think that any employer needs two years to decide whether or not someone is competent enough to do the job.

Amuses me that a Universal Basic Income could slash the wasteful jobs at the DWP. They could be transferred to HMRC where they could chase the real criminals.

Labour couldn't change the bedding on the bed. They are all corrupt and belong in prison

❤ Hopefully

Think I can guess one or two of the topics (clean up corruption in WC1 perhaps?), but look forward to seeing the series.

Since the Thatcher Government not just wages, but the terms and conditions of workers have been eroded. Final salary pensions are not available to blue collar workers and youngsters leaving school and university. In addition, some graduates have huge loans and the nationalised industries are owned in most part by foreig nationalised industries and pension funds.

Social Tariff on all utilities would cost £millions but it would save £billions in health & social consequences.

I think i see what you mean, while i have concerns for labour, i also hope they will improve peoples lives. They now have the power. Lets hope they use it properly. But i wont get my hopes higher than that.

It may be true to say there is no money, but if not it's very convenient argument for inaction. After the war the country was bankrupt, however, it was not used as an eexcuse to do nothing!

I believe zero hour contracts are in their sights probably soon.

Lets hope Labour are watching

❤

😢

2 days. This already hasn't aged well.

We might get a pound of carrots 🙂

Ok do everything you want but only one thing. No wealth tax. All other options on the table. Do you have anything else?

When you say change, do you mean improve?

As soon a Labour got in here is all the Unions announcing industry action. Typical, people have such short memories. Welcome to the 1970s.

Ohh they most certainly are going to change the country. Alas it will not be for the better.

Under Starmer?

They will definitely change it 😂😂

The closing muzak is a terrible idea.

I bet you £10 they don't.

Hi Richard, I look forward to seeing your positive series of videos. I get so tired of Owen Jones, Novara etc just producing the same old stuff moaning about Labour, it just creates divisive echo chambers. Labour have just taken on James Timpson as minister of state for prisons. He will want to to look at rehabilitation rather than imprisonment That’s a positive change. Labour want to look at the Canadian model,of massive childcare subsidies….Canada have worked out it’s possible to make childcare very cheap and the increase in parents working brings in more revenue than childcare costs. Labour want to negotiate reduced trade barriers with EU, esp on agri foods. These are all ways to make positive change without huge cost As I said Richard, why don’t you reach out to Phil Moorhouse or Van man talks or others. We really need the left like you Richard to engage with a broader spectrum….you may not agree with Phils support of Labour, but you could both use your knowledge to create really interesting content.

Changing the UK by changing our constitution is a bad idea. Labour is looking to "progress" through the dilution of British culture and the installation of hard left policy. The reason we are in such a bad place is due to Labour. The changes they have made have been, mostly to the detriment of Britain, not for the better. It was Gordon Brown who essentially contributed to the banking crash in 2007 which plunged us all into austerity. Austerity, which they then spent 10 years blaming everyone else for. All of that, along with the PFI deals. Most people have forgotten how bad Labour were. And that is how Labour win, they rely on people with short memories and those who don't understand what they are doing in the background.

Even though Labour has the Trade Unions at its heart, they will help the farmers, food makers, and manufacturers first. The only way that the UK can trade with the EU, is to enter into the common market and the custom's union. They need not join the political union. All it takes is the safety of food, goods and products that businesses already understand. Get trade working with the EU. They have the best universal standards that have never been rejected by the rest of the world.

Reign in the restrictive free speech legislation. Cancel hate speech legislation against belief systems or at least make fact and truth overrule belief.

Labour should make real 'change', just ditch 'subsidy junkie' Scotland, more cash in England's pocket. Can't fathom why they don't seem keen to do that. 🤔 Got any spare 'change' please SIR!

You bashed Labour in previous videos and I was ready to unsubscribe, since we should be lucky that the Tories are finally out and you bashed them before they've even moved in yet so to speak. So thank you for trying to take a more positive approach. Could Labour take a page or two out of the 'Deficit Myth' book, which argues that you can kick start the economy again without relying on tax payers money?

In the 1980s labour despite having huge union following did nothing to stop the outsourcing of most of our industry. They also did nothing to stop the Poll Tax for people who were made unemployed. They thought it was fine that some one who had millions paid the same amount of poll tax as the newly unemployed. Teaching our children that they can be any rainbow colour they want to be is a crime against humanity.

Rather than protecting those in precarious situations, the minimum wage was instrumental in driving down living standards. Not all change was positive.

I know where exactly you are going with this change with no cost pitch. You want to about gender altogether , gender is fluid, women have penis, pregnant person, they, them that sort of cultural shift at no cost.

Change it for the worst 😕🐍🐍🐍

Labour will not be around much longer

Change the minimum tax code on migrants to break even. 38,500 a year.

Minimum wage wasnt a benefit. It has consistently outpaced the natural market wage growth. People like to talk about raising the floor because it makes them feel good. Raising the floor might seem like youre lifting people up, but in actuallity minimum wage is a net, a net more find themselves caught in and yet more feel drawing ever closer. I worked in electronics 30 years ago. It used to pay roughly 2.5x what a shelf stacker would earn, now the difference at tech level is about 8k. Its not worth the additional education and years of training to earn 8k more. Many on building sites and other industries not doing piece work are in the same boat; their wages barely rise year on year while the net draws ever closer

Think you need to move to another planet

Labour need to change its stance on Israel and Palestine. Would you advocate for ceasefire and Palestinian statehood?!

The minimum wage was an absolute disaster for those of us who were young and struggling when it came it - it pushed wages down considerably, and we could see it happen before our eyes. Before, you'd go into a job centre and there'd be a range of pay and competition - if they were serious they had to pay up. Suddenly everything was stuck at the (too low) national minimum wage, and there was no variation or choice if that was your only option. Employers gave everyone the same blank answer - "it's the minimum wage", end of conversation. Worse, it created a huge illegal pay market, where people paying cash in hand for off-the-books jobs (off the employers' books i mean) were always paying less than it, whereas previously they didn't really know what to pay. Peoples wages in markets went down and down, not just in 'real terms' but simply down - by the time you counted in the 'unpaid' hours people were working for four pounds an hour. A minimum wage either has to be at a reasonable level, which of course it never is. But tbh, i had sympathy with employers too who needed flexibility to get their business off the ground, sometimes times are tough and you have to drop a wage, some times it's good you can pay more. The minimum wage was and is a straitjacket. (And then there's National Insurance, where hope you do a video on that - because nothing, absolutely nothing, is more of a handicap to starting new businesses, or getting a small job, than that. Introduced as a Lloyd George slight-of-hand to get it through, now just a lead weight on everybody).

Immigration topic seems to be forbidden for Labour. They want to promote LGBT instead of dealing with immigration.

Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..

Not paying equal pay for women, bankrupted the Birmingham Labour Party run council, so not always an accurate commentary by you.
