Keir Starmer's first cabinet has been described as 'the most diverse on record for education background', contrasting the last Tory cabinet which was made up mostly of those coming from the public school circle.
Carol Vorderman hears from these callers on how they feel about Labour having the most state school-educated ministers in its cabinet.
1:27 - Caller Jawwad hits out at 'out of touch posh boys' in previous governments, and says 'if you're paying thousands of pounds to fill up your swimming pool, of course you don't care if energy bills rise.'
4:55 - Caller Carl disagrees with Jawwad and says it's more about 'advantage' rather than privilege', and then goes on to say that the 'North-South divide is a myth' in his books.
5:15 - Carol Vorderman and Carl have a back and forth, with Carl insisting that those in the North have 'superior income, cheaper housing, less children in classes, better NHS access, and cost of living is much cheaper'.
9:55 - Caller Lorraine, a former head teacher, tells Carol Vorderman: 'I am absolutely delighted the posh boys are out'.

@thomasandrewclifford Ай бұрын

The youth are and have always been a potential pool of political engagement. Issue is that both intergenerational biases and media cynicism keeps them from shining and that goes double for working class youth. Kids are more politically engaged and informed than I was at their age but for some reason my own generation (millenials) and older all want to keep them as jaded and held down as we were before. Cycles of opression in all forms need to be broken, even the ones like this that don't get highlighted as often.

Northerners have more disposable income than southerners? This is NOT TRUE. Costs might be lower, but so are salaries.

What is the second caller talking about. He needs to live in the north and see how lucky he is

Sent him to Hull. Btw my DD has less pupils in her class than in the "North" due to people not being able to afford London private rents.

I agree with the deputy HT. our great state education has been shocking! These days we only teach what we can test!!! There is no wonder or joy at this moment. That will change!!!

The guy going on about the North South divide is delusional at best. He is welcome to come up here and experience the lack of infrastructure, opportunities,poor wages, dire public services and public transport. He wouldn't last 5 minutes.

I hope the young lad enters politics, he is just what labour require. Just a pity Carl had to bring the conversation crashing to the floor, Edinburgh isn't a poor area, houses in Edinburgh are some of the highest in the UK.

I would suggest anyone who thinks like Carl should come to my hometown of Kingston upon Hull, which has been neglected for the whole of the last Tory government, from everything from transport to education to infrastructure, it's heartbreaking to see, I can't even shop in my hometown because there are no shops except the very basic ones. It's a great city, full of strong northern, passionate, caring people, but we deserve better, far better, especially the thousands of children who live in abject food poverty and poverty in general and I think Carl should come up for a visit sometime to see the reality of what 14 years of Tory neglect looks like!

I've been to Liverpool, Manchester and London recently. I live in Plymouth. Compare the city centres and shops to ours, that will tell you where the money is. The big shops/brands are not in plymouth.....the reason being, no one has the money down here, so these brand won't bring business here. The south west is neglected....whete are our airports?

Perhaps members of Parliament should, be required to spend their lives in and post at a fairly low income level. Get the self-seekers out of the business. Lifeboat ethics isn't ethics.

Too many callers not quite understanding that it's not about the Tories 'narrow experience'. They did what they did to be deliberately destructive because they are psychopathically self-serving. This should not be understated.

The young man who called in first really hit home with myself as a young adult. We’ve been massively let down. It’s hard to not be disillusioned by the state of the world we’re inheriting from the previous generations. By the prospects of our future and how it is this way by malicious design. I usually joke about my only financial mistake in life being not buying a property in 2004, when I was 6 years old. But there’s a nugget of truth in that joke. The Tory government have, as many other governments have across the world, pulled up the ladder on younger generations and just told them to figure it out. We’re facing a multitude of generational crises and unfortunately, some governments have chosen to serve themselves instead of guiding us forward. I sincerely hope the Labour government can help the youth of the UK to get better footing in life.
