I doubt it can be any worse than the last fourteen years. I’m choosing to have faith in Starmer and Labour. I need to be optimistic because what we just got rid of was so monumentally poor.

Love these full-show uploads.

My favourite quote from this show.." This is serious. They actually want to make things better"

It feels like the nation is a bit like an abused puppy sitting in the corner of its new owners house waiting to be kicked again. It’ll take a while of kindness before we stop shaking and trust the new owners.

I’m a believer in Starmer and have been for some time ! It was like watching a chess master the way he dispatched boris the liar and every step since , he is a facilitator building a team without fear of surrounding himself with talented individuals , the end result will be solving problems as opposed to covering them up or exploiting them for personal gain. Bring on the new era 🤝

I'm impressed with what I've seen so far with new government 🤞

Please realise there are many of us around the world uplifted by your election results. May the collective sigh of relief and of hope give rise to ethical social reforms in all our countries

We’re all emerging from the cellar, pleased that the beatings have stopped, scared of what the future might hold…

I like that……. People no longer want a job for life, they want a job and a life!

France two, Nazis nil. 🤪

Its pretty simple really.catch people at an early stage be it mental health,oppotunity,risk of young people being excluded from school or getting involved in crime,you catch people and give them respect,hope and time and it will end up saving money and quite frankly lives.

Can’t you guys please upload these earlier. Or broadcast them as lives.

Hate to say i feel adults in the room

Work to live, don't live to work.

James O'Brien is a hero!

I'm imagining Jacob Reese Smug lying on his chaise longue dreaming up new dark ideas.. don't worry, we've got his number

My grandparents have always voted Tory. They felt sympathy for Theresa May, they disliked Truss, they disliked Boris, and they disliked Sunak. Yet they voted Tory again this election because they "always have" - it's as if these kind of voters are stuck in some kind of purgatory.

5th July, it feels like responsible adults have entered the room

It's a stunning indictment of the tory party that installing competent people causes such a feeling of joy.

The only negative that Braverman is still around. They should have dumped her together with Tory trash

you can work 8 days a week and make nothing, you can work 4 days a week and do more than a 5 6 or 7 day week, you can force people to work, you cabt force quality control.

You need to be cheerful about the stark differences between Blair and Starmer.

If people have just lost trust in politics the last thing to do would be to introduce an identification scheme.

James Timpson has a younger brother, Edward, who was my local TORY MP. Brothers... yet vastly different in their approach to life and society.

for the 4 day work week .. many jobs have alot of wasted time (meetings, extended breaks, etc), and people focus and "get the work done". Basically, the workers are getting something out of this also .. not just the company. 4x11 hour days was setting up for failure. I remember in the USA some companies tried 4x9 days, and it was very successful for many companies, but it was difficult for management to accept the success. I am living in Tokyo, and here people work 11-12 hour days, and many will work 6 day weeks. But productivity is very low since there is no incentive to be productive. Instead they just put in the hours, and accept the long hours. I regularly attend 2 hour meetings, which typically do not resolve any issues. There is nothing that supports efficiency.

Perfect episode whilst working one of my 8 days a week!

I think what the ex First Minister of the Welsh Senedd said after the Labour win was interesting. He said that we would see Starmer as a great Prim Minister than a leader of the Labour party. I think he might be right.

4 Plaid Cymru in Westminster today. Thought I'd mention it as English media forgot. Ps our country free of reform and tories. Now to be totally free of England.

I have to admit, as a lifelong Labour voter, I'd decided some time ago I just could not vote Labour with Starmer leading. My view was largely based on his resolute refusal to even consider our membership of the Single Market. My views were hardly challenged up to the election, although I came to realise it was necessary to limit the potential for attack from the Tory media. I must admit, I held my nose to some extent when I voted Labour this time, motivated more by absolute hatred of the various Tory governments of the last 14 years, each one worse than the previous. I was wrong, but I got it right in the end.

Wow! Clean your suit for free! Half the people don’t even have a suit!

Why not make a four day week the default?

I can't help but wonder if the £310,000,000 would have been better spent on processing immigration claims. We used to be a bastion of decency in this country, what happened?

There were many labour MP's/supporters who were kicking off at the appointment of Cameron, yet are saying nothing about Starmer doing the same?

It will take a while to really get things back on track but this burst of optimism and joy from many should be encouraged I think, rather than tempered (so long as it's within reason of course, gotta stay in facts and what is possible), because letting yourselves feel it is healing. It's also an important part of countering far right populists & reactionaries. Two big reasons the left struggles to build/maintain a movement are that there's a constant ideological purity test & that any small win is chastised. It constantly drags morale down. So yep, let's revel in this relief a bit! Thank you for the boost of hope & inspiration for things here across the pond. Still gonna be concerned because the challenges are many and the damage runs deep but THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE ADDRESSED AND ALLEVIATED which is incredible lol 🇺🇸💙🇬🇧

Please show the date of each broadcast, say in bottom right hand corner. David mccabe dublin ireland

Nadine Dories was the ultimate cheer leader.

JOB could spend more time holding the press to account - already they are distracting, demanding to know when is it all fixed - like kids in the back of the car, are we there yet ?

2:00 I recommend Time Shifting by Stephan Rechtschaffen M.D. Our experience of time is subjective no matter how many different ways there are of measuring it objectively. Rechtschaffen describes how the notion of "work ethic" was invented early in the Industrial Revolution simply because up until then, our mostly agrarian workforce were used to a sort of built in 'flexi time' - aka, the British weather. In other words they were obliged to intelligently determine the best and most productive use of their time, hour by hour, day by day, season by season. He gives the example of such a worker turning up for work at a factory or mill or mine, only to be told that there was nothing for them to do because a machine was broken and wouldn't be repaired until the next day - so they went home to get on with something useful. They return the next morning to find they'd been fired, not having appreciated that the mill or factory owner also OWNS them for the period of their shift - even if it means twiddling your thumbs achieving nothing. So if you didn't have 'work ethic' (along with all the 'know your place' stuff) then the chances were poor that you'd keep a job and would therefore starve. Psychologically this represents a truly enormous shift from everything that had gone previously: we thought about time one way for 250,000+ years and countless generations, mostly measuring our days in terms of what we've managed to get done, balanced with a sense of efficiency of effort. Then it's turned upside down in the space of a paltry 200 years and a half a dozen generations. Small wonder then that when you give people back at least a measure of this autonomy they generally do better.

What a wonderful cabinet Kier has put together. Great start guys, keep it up

Your mug is much smaller than mine!

1:46:24 oh you think thats bad you should have seen what it was like trying to get the 5 day work week lol

James I think the four day work week would work for a broadcaster. Sadly, it is the only downside of the four day week. There would have to be a four day Friday through Monday shift for an up and coming employee or intern. Monday they would consult with their boss and tie up any loose ends. Tuesday Wednesday Thursday would eventually take on new meaning and give a boost to most businesses midweek.

1:53:15 imo , the best thing about a 4 day week is you. Truly have time for yourself at the end of the week, I worked at tesco 5-6 days a week which come Saturday night I couldn't stay up too late so I could wake up early enough Sunday so I can get to bed on time for Monday morning , may aswell be a working day at that point

I think the current Tory line up have to keep saying the Rwanda plan would have worked. Secretly though, i think they are hoping the whole batshit crazy thing will die off and never be spoken of again. If someone mad becomes leader of the Cons then it'll be brought up again and again but if Labour stop the crossings by putting in save routes and processing claims, when the Tories get in they'll be back to square one having to engineer a new immigration crisis.

Not sure what all the optimism is with all these ‘people who know what they are doing’ - according to what evidence.. what’s their actual plan with immigration besides, being ‘nicer’?

So, to sum up, you are not keen on Fuji autofocus then? 😂😂

🇵🇸 FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

The question “how do people respond to change?” Lead in fuel was banned in 1996. Make of that what you will. 😂

James pointing out the "you know" - it is! At last!

why on earth is james still talking about the tories.

it's because of people like James that the civilians in Gaza are dead! why do Islamists hide behind civilians? so there will be pressure on their enemies both internally and externally not to attack them!

Sir Kier might actually help the conservatives get back to the centre.

Love how this guy ends the show with some random doing a sales pitch for their recruitment agency

2:09:07 the funny thing is what you are talking about its a life style much more akin to the middle ages .. the irony is that the industrial revolutions sort of broke our brains

None of it as yet has actually translated to any direct effect on the ground . When it does then I might feel optimistic

I have been wondering. Its a genuine question. If the tories were so corrupt why did it take so long for the labours to take over?

1:44:49 "Working from the beach" Cybersecurity pro here. There are security implications in this. Hotel Wifi may not be reliable or safe. Your laptop could be lost or stolen. Working from home is one thing, but on vacation? I don't see companies allowing that.

When people get exited about [politics, i get scared, these are normal people, but guive them a cause, you have an army, so populism scares me, slow gradual progress, anything else causes wars.

Under the conservative party..people...some of us would have to go into the local library to keep warm...but very recently.. cost of living payments has helped many people to stay warmer..😮

Wow hysterical caller with terminal anxiety. And she used to treat people who suffer from that ? She is "finding it hard to contain her emotional load" ?

I'm concerned about Starmers Marxist and Trotskyist past . Time will tell , but I'm also concerned a certain demographic see the socialists as useful idiots , or is that just us Brits ,they've got history on that .

Lots of excitement about Timpson, which is of course a welcome appointment. But no concerns about the jobs for the Blairites? Of course not - Labour impress you with a nice bauble so you ignore the bad stuff...

Come on - not one of us will see any change in our lives for the better.

Everytime I hear JOB talk he sounds more and more like Tony Blair.

I wish I had a job where I could randomly decide to just take a couple days off because I got a bit too 'pent up' about something. Must be nice.

53:16 I thought an overwhelming 52% voted to do the polar opposite of what other countries do?

1:08 if the Conservatives go (and I don't think they will - they do still have 120 seats) there is always the Liberals.

🌹Sanity eventually returns once the book is closed. And when it does, you better have your coat.

Alicia Kearns could and possibly should lead the Tories

The trouble is there skint. And you can't change much while your skint

I cannot support a party who allows Palestine flags and sometimes Pakistan flags but ban our own national flag . I hope Starmer can repair the damage caused by the corrupt Conservative Party . The jury is out .

Yvette Cooper sounds a lot cleverer than Cleverly .

sorry James Stamer and Labour or any British citizen can promise joining the EU SM/CU because its the privilege of being member of the EU and EFTA based on being EEA(European economic Area) members its the core base of being and all its benefits that along with with trading among EU members and the 3rd who have A trade deals with EU otherwise what is the point of being and into the EU and following all market rules and regulations under the watch eye of the ECJ(European court of Justice) to make sure level playing field among member states and its not open to any 3rd country parties the UK chose to become A 3rd party to the EU and left all EU institution including the EU SM/CU for they chose to vote their Brexit in 2016 and the rendering of Article 50 by PM May to Brussels which was the UK divorce papers from the EU once and for all and people in the UK be Government of just citizen have to understand the EU membership is based on the rules set out in the EU charters from Rome treaty in 1957 and signed in the 1959 the ever closer union and this subject is in Lisbon treaty that any country in the EU can leave any time as A sovereign nation they have that right under the Article 50 but joining is in under the Article 49 that come with fulfilling the Copenhagen criteria after gaining assent from EU member states for candidate status and country vetoes but if one country veto your application then there is no further going and it will stop all together and under the Article 49.2 in the Lisbon treaty also state that any member state that on their own freewill leaves the EU will have to apply again as any eligible European nation and fulfill the Copenhagen criteria as any new applicant and there will be no short cut for being former member or new nation applying for the first time the UK sits in this group of new applicant and not being former member changes the of the Lisbon treaty please read this is available on the EU web site and its written in many European languages including English Stamer knows this that is way he could not make A promise he knew he could not deliver at all because its not his or the UK decision to make leaving the EU was the UK sovereign decision but joining the EU is the of the EU 27 sovereign decision under the EU Lisbon treaty and its rules for any new applicant country including former member (UK) who left under Lisbon treaty Article 50 and to apply like other European country under the Lisbon treaty Article 49 period and no jumping the cue in front of other European country because this rule is for all European countries who wants to become A member of the EU and no exceptions for former member(UK).greeting from proud citizen of the EU 27.

Have you got a tot of whiskey in that massive mug of tea you keep slurping from?

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

The system is broken time for change don't think Starmer will change much. Hes a wolf in sheep's clothing. A globalised not for the working man hes for the corporate greed world.

Oh my James O'brien on the radio with no tories in charge to moan about what's the moaner gonna do

People are excited/happy that labour won the election...so am i..... and im so glad that Angela Rainer is Deputy prime minister... she will end up being prime minister..😊

Please stop trying to make 'nativist snarls' work as a term, it's awful.

There is no new anything, its more establishment.

"Spent hundreds of millions of pounds on a scheme that has been running for 2 and a half years, and has sent just 4 volunteers to Rwanda" I will slap myself in the face if I ever have imposter syndrome in my job ever again.

how long are we gonna keep up this charade?

Conservative members.. save the party. Steak-Out the centre ground.. We need your party to be positioned in the centre ground. Pressure your party to get back to the centre or it won't exist in a few years. The counties in the uk , like all countries does best when the left and right are focused on the centre..

Starmer is the luckiest "general" (as Napoleon would have it) in British politics. Corbyn didn't lose to the Tories, he lost to Brexit. In that sense he was the unluckiest general. Maybe (as I opine) Corbyn should have nailed Labour's colours solidly and early to the Remain mast, that's a different subject, but Starmer's done very well for a guy who only joined the party ten years ago? The euphoria is understandable, the witch, if not dead, is in an induced coma, but I remain pessimistic.

A non-solution again, what a not surprise. The coast of Britain with Europe is about 1000 km long (on a scale of 50 km in Google Maps). That's more than the length of the whole British/Scottish island. You want a border guard that have to control a border the size of the UK. And I just measured the south most British coast. Then, if they apprehend the refugees, what to do with them? The only thing they can do is to ship them to Britain. But then the UK Border Security Command will be nothing more than a ferry service.

JOB is going to be greatly disappointed. I just don’t see what he sees in KS

Incompetents? We can start with Yvette Cooper and Jacqui Smith. Give it several months, and we'll want this new government gone as well.

ASDA workers doing 44 hours in 4 days is 11 hours a day. Exhausting. White collar office workers doing 37.5 hours in 4 days is only 9 hr 22 min and 30 sec per day. Easy. {:o:O:}

The super-woke James O’Brien

Boats pouring across the Channel unabated and we're now going to pave over the countryside to accommodate them. Oh, and Patrick Vallance has joined the government. Well done, Labour voters! Enjoy your future!

The Austrian painter colluded with other parties to force a larger democratically voted party to curtail. Apparently when the left parties in France does this fascistic act it is celebrated

A new era of misery

The last time Labour got us TRILLIONS in debt. You could cover the uk with 50 notes. We spend more on the interest than education. Put a debt metre on screen😅

The regime cheerleader cheers the new regime.....

Let’s have a conversation about putting the Conservative Party in state school curriculum.. Headline, “How Not to be a head pupil iin private schools if pursuing a career in conservative politics”

I'm concerned about Starmers Marxist and Trotskyist past . Time will tell , but I'm also concerned a certain demographic see the socialists as useful idiots , or is that just us Brits ,they've got history on that .
