The Tories need to know that there are consequences for robbing the country blind, so I really hope we see some convictions for the PPE VIP lane fraud at the very least.

1% has A QUARTER of the national wealth? That’s beyond outrage.

Not only are children stunted by poor diet, but their life expectancy has shrunk too. 😩😡🤬

The fight isn’t over until we are back in Europe and our Human Rights guaranteed.

They were only ever concerned about their own taxes and the benefits of offshore tax havens. They encouraged a form of capitalism that harvested wealth and created none. Brexit deregulation was their biggest enabler.

Please don't stop now we have a labour government. The Legacy media will continue to bat for the right lies. I value the truth

My priority would be to send the Reform Party and all the sad racists who voted for them to Rwanda

21st Century Country, under a 16th Century system.

I , here in Canada, feel the same sense of relief and frank joy which I felt when there was a change of guard in the USA. It is remarkable how much cruel , dishonest and grifting people can affect you even from an outside view.

Absolutely spot on! Thank you for all your work in highlighting all the failures and corruption of the tories.

BIG challenge now Rob. Scrutinise the new guys and hold them to account as you have been doing with the Tories.....please!

There needs to be a Covid audit and prosecutions for the profiteers. I’d also suggest and enquiry into Brexit, with prosecutions. Glad the channel is continuing.

Abolish the House of Lords. Lower the voting age to 16 years of age. Make the NHS the top priority - let the health of the NHS be the criterion by which this government will be judged five years hence. Abolish the anti-democratic identification barriers imposed by the Tories when attempting to cast your vote. Outlaw opinion polls three weeks before an election date. Abolish the class-ridden honours system; who needs Lords?

I can't tell you how pleased I am you've decided to keep Truth To Power going Rob - your voice is important, keep on keeping on, and thanks.

Totally agree with your list of "musts"

I'm so glad that you are going to continue. We need clear eyed commentary from independents like yourself. We need to be as critical of Starmer's crew, as we were about The Tories.

Agreed. All of these reforms are long-overdue, and worsened by 14 years of Tory plunder - the only term that describes the harm they inflicted on everyone. However, Labour will have a difficult time tackling them all at once. But it does not mean that this new government can't bring about some small steps to help alleviate the worst effects of Tory misrule.

Look at the Cabinet - No toffs, no racists - just good competent people. They will transform Brtain!

Good to hear you've decided to continue with your channel

Great video Rob. As you articulate clearly there is so much to be done and undone. The Herculean task of cleaning the Aegean stables begins now. Many of those who caused the mess are no more, though there remain a few incompetent, incontinent assholes who thrive on laxatives. Keep going, Rob, you are doing a great job in keeping us informed of the truth.

Who knows what happens from this point forward but at least today is a great day

So much to fix, but right off the bat we should immediately nationalise 1. Rail 2. Water Utilities 3. Electricity & Gas

Spot on Rob! Had a fall out with my Tory supporting Aunt, after the election results, giving me the whole “they are all the same” bollox! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Starmer will need at least ten years to improve things with the tories tearing themselves apart that's possible

Please do keep on. And you end with a really good list. Yes, freeports need ending immediately.

I’m glad the Tories have been thrown out but our electorate gave 100 second places to Farage’s company Reform UK. 4 million votes that is frightening. Good luck to Labour and a good presentation from you.

Good Morning Rob, a Labour Government at last, mind they've so much to do we must not expect too much too quickly, but I have a new spring in my step and at 77 I damn well need it. Thanks for all your efforts over the dark Years of those tory governments.

I thought that if it was 10x the labour food bank use it would be terrible. But 41k to 2.4 million food parcels is disgraceful.

So glad Truth to Power will keep on going. We always need to keep an eye on government. Hurrah for Rob! 🎉

Reverse academisation, take schools back under local authority control, scrap SATs and the pressurised, exam-focused curriculum, and denounce the authoritarianism and behaviourism that has taken over schools, where egotistical heads regard forcing 11 year olds to dress up like extras from Hogwarts and swelter in inappropriate clothing to be more important than allowing our children, particularly those with SEND, to flourish as individuals and develop into compassionate and openminded adults. Adolescent mental health is in crisis and the role of strict academies, which place more importance on nonsensical rules for their own sake and disproportionate penalties for pupils and parents alike, than the wellbeing of our next generation, are a major cause of this. Kids are not robots and schooling should not be about threatening impressionable minds into unthinking obedience through fear.

What matters is democracy and we can vote out the government. Also if I want to call the PM an idiot I don’t end up in a gulag.

Glad you are continuing, Rob. One of the most poignant and articulate channels on TY. Personally, I'm in favour of taxing the income from wealth at the same rate as work income, as asset values vary and are harder to determine. Prof Richard Murphy makes such a recommendation.

Why don't you just give Starmer a break instead of "hes not the tories". Let's see what he does, I'm sick of the last negativity brought on in the last 14 years. Can we do that?

Just remember some things are going to take time, everyone must accept its gonna take time to fix what took 14 years to break!

Just about nailed it. The only other priority I would include is getting those water co's to clean up our rivers...at their expense!

Thank you Rob, I'm so glad to hear you will keep going. We cannot allow Brexit to be pushed under the carpet, so we need to lead the elephant out of the room. I honestly don't know how Starmer leads the elephant out of the room, and maintain his integrity; but he has to find a way to do it. From that point I want ot see a new senior cabinet position - Minister for Rejoin; with the responsibility of assessing and addressing all the factors that led the UK to making the most stupidest referendum decision a country can ever make.

These oligarchs have a monopoly on all resources, houses, rent, etc. The working class, we ordinary mortals, produce billions for them and when we breathe air... And they decided for us Austerity Austerity,

If Labour do one thing, it has to be to fix the NHS again. We all pay for it through our taxes and can't access it.

It has been a disaster for fourteen years the other awful thing is Farage getting in to parliament he was the beginning of Brexit it may never have happened without him I voted Green this time and they won in my area which has always been Tory so it shows people had really enough of the Tories let us just hope that Starmer goes in the right direction and is strong enough to keep going and I might just add that Jeremy Corbyn is back in the House of Commons I am delighted thanks Rob take care

Rob. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 to you for your vlogs.

The one priority is a second term. Anything that doesn't work towards that is a self indulgence.

If your kitchen is on fire, you want the flames extinguished thoroughly and quickly before the damage spreads to the rest of your house. You can be concerned with the water damage later. We are at that stage right now. Labour are in the unenviable position of sorting out the deliberate damage created by the Tory arsonists over the past 14 years. Will they get everything done or everything right? Probably not. Certainly not in one parliament. However, a mediocre Labour government cannot be any worse than the very best performance under the Tories.

Starmer cancelled the Rwanda scam on Friday night. Whether we can get back any of the over £300 million that the Tories wasted on it is a moot point, but at least not a penny more will be sent there.

Great to hear you are continuing your channel and look forward to your analysis of Labour's performance. We all know it's not going to be easy for them, having to fix the country yet again after the Tories break everything in order to transfer wealth to the already rich. I think the majority of people are getting sick of this cycle of, things being better under Labour, only for it to be destroyed under the Tories. They should never be allowed to govern again. We need proportional representation.

Homelessness is the first thing we should fix

I'm lucky enough to have retired early and am in the process of taking my campervan round the Baltic. The degree to which we've become the poor man / woman of Europe is really stark

Perfect! In fact it’s SO perfect it’s off the scale!! Don’t you dare stop Rob x

Yes Gove must be jailed. A great list of priorities which I agree with 100 poercent.

Labour has done the right thing by removing the Rwanda policy and by doing so, took the foul breath of the fascist parties Tory and Deform away.

To not expect things right a way, but to expect changes going into a direction.

1. Electoral reform 2. Media reform 3. Tax reform 4. NHS Rebuilt 5. Parliamentary reform 6. Corruption Commission 7. Rejoin Single Market/EU

Thank youfor your summary of Tory rule. I had not realised HOW BAD it actually was!!! SHAME on them!!!! SHAME on them!!!

Well done Brits! This tactical voting eliminated the biggest hurdle, the Tory Gouvernement. Now, it's time to reform the media control. Otherwise, they will still comment on their owners' instructions. Journalism should be the 4th column of democracy by REPORTING facts only and not planting their own opinions into people's minds. They should let the new gouvernement play the ball and not tackle at every step against the legs instead of the ball. Best wishes from Germany.

Brilliant, fingers crossed.

walking ahead in the Story party laid minefields will be difficult and will take time ...... good luck Labour !!

Thanks, Rob. Always appreciate your candour and insight.

Bravo!!!

Welcome back on the european stage, my friends!

I agree with all of this Rob - you're a man after my own heart!

Give them a chance! I'm waiting to see what they do as I feel the same about Starmer. He's started wel appointing 'experts' to Science, Prisons and Justice. People who are not Labour !

What a Labour Government would not have proposed. The Brexit Advisory Referendum. Just to save it's political party 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Thank you, Mr. Groves, for reciting the litanies of horror inflicted by The Tories on the British people. Thankfully, the people have spoken in the recent election. 🇬🇧 🇺🇲

Thank you 😊😊

Might not be socialist, but I doubt that they'll be quite as unscrupulous, and hopefully a lot more competent.

Well said sir.

Thanks Rob a great summary of the Tory disaster governments

In US Elon Musk apparently pays no taxes as he has no income, he lives off loans taken out against the value of his companies. This allows him to also claim what I think is tax relief on his loan repayments! (Elon actually explained how he did it in an interview) Is this a massive tax loophole used by the ultra wealthy to avoid taxes in UK too? If so how much tax is this country missing out on and what public services could be provided if the loophole was plugged?

Accountability in politics must happen, ... How Johnson is a walking free man is beyond me !! Non stick responsibility has to 🛑 stop!!!!

Protections for disability benefit claimants, strengthen disabled rights, more money into the NHS, mental health to be recognised as equal in importance as physical health and funding of mental health services at the correct proportion of the NHS budget according to its burden on the NHS. Getting Big Money out of politics (including the freebies that MPs get). Electoral reform. Tackling tax avoidance and tax evasion. Giving workers a proper Living Wage (even if the Living Wage is proportional to the cost of living in the local area rather than a National Living Wage). Increasing taxes on unearned income. Tackling corruption in politics (including legal cases against the most severe cases of corruption with fines and/or prison terms and a lifetime ban from holding public office on the table as punishment). Strengthening Human Rights and the Rights of persecuted minorities. Renationalising key industries. Abolishing student fees. Repairing the UK’s reputation on the subject of upholding International Law by prosecuting Tony Blair and those who supported the illegal Iraq War, banning arms sales to Israel, supporting any legal action against Israel if it is found to be committing genocide and actioning any arrest warrants issued against any individuals in regards to the Israel/Hamas War.

Hey there! Just wanted to say thanks for always being honest and making sure the government is held accountable. Keep up the good work!

Thank you🙌🏻✝️🕊

It's a great start off by Keir appointing a science expert for science & an expert from prison Reform as prison's Minister & an independent legal expert for the Minister of Law as an overseer of Labour staying within the law. That means Labour cannot step outside of International Law as for example Gaza or Israel. Other good things too numerous to mention.

Very well said Rob

Some of the politically ignorant in our society think the increase in food banks is a good thing and credit the Tories with them … that’s how broken we’ve become under the Tories

Highest average tax rate in 70 years and the lowest corporation tax rate in 50 years. Says it all really.

I think the main priority for Labour is... FFS don't be like the Tory's!

Scrap the two children cap, increase the tax band to lift people out of debt

Starmer has appointed some people that actually know about the subject they have been asked to work on. Im hopeful.. Also stupid Rwanda thing gone.

Great monologue! Surely, things can only get better?!

Thank you Rob for all your efforts

I don't envy Mr Starmer in his new job. Clement Attlee had a less difficult situation after WW2. At least Britain had factories and industries then.

First of all, congratulations on getting rid of your fascist government, a phase that other European countries are still going through. I'm just afraid that Labour can't deliver so quickly and people will get too impatient and soon fall for the Farages of this world again because people have a short-term memory.

I 'd like to thank for all the videos you have posted, and yes I will continue watching brilliant

well said

I think you should be called by the new Labour government to give advice. You have excellent points and knowledge about how to fix the UK but Labour was too cautious during the campaign. They also unwisely tried to silence anyone that criticized their views on Israel’s genocide in Palestine

Good job Rob 👍🏻 I'd like to see Gove's poll that was ordered by the court to be published.

There are more food banks in Britain than there are branches of McDonalds, but at least you stand a chance of getting healthier food from a food bank. The worrying thing is that Labour only have five years to show real improvement that people can actually SEE, otherwise we might get Reform in power and then it's game over, baby.

I agree with your priorities and pray Starmer does as well.

Brilliant video you of the best I agree with every surgestion

Thanks Rob. Keep 'em coming. Let's hope we don't have cause to be as critical of the new government as we have the last 4.

Gods you’re so right

Good to know the channel is going to continue Rob. This is a polished and professional channel with well reasoned and presented content that does just what it says in the tin. Despite the change in govt. and the sense that whatever happens they cannot do any worse than the outgoing one, I still think this will be needed - sadly. Thank you for all your efforts.

Keep them on their toes, Rob, just subbed. Keep up the great truth telling.

I'd like to see social care more tightly integrated into the NHS, with a proper inspection regime, increased capacity to reduce bed blocking, and development of professional training, qualifications, and career progression for staff.

Britain is now in such a poor state, it would take a generation to repair. The wealth that has been lost due to Tory asset stripping and the massive rise in national debt, the best the British can hope for is damage limitation in the next few parliamentary terms. I would suggest Labour drop their "make Brexit work" fantasy. Until then, I'm taking my life savings and getting out, son has already gone. Might as well get used to the reality if you're staying put in Brexit Britain where companies are no longer investing. The wish list sounds like desperation, sorry to say, but you cannot take a wrecking ball to your economy and there be no long lasting consequences. The embarrasing debacle of the British people voting for 'Blame the Scapegoat' parties suggests that there is little hope for this failed state.

It seems that the new government is already at work to address some of the concerns you listed. They scrapped Rwanda, Lammy is out to rekindle relations with Europe, Streeting is meeting the junior doctors to solve that dispute. Lots to do still, but I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Wise words. Can't fault you on any of your push points. However, I do have good reason to believe that Labour shall provide.

Well done.,

Great video Rob, that was a pretty good list there, I dearly wish all of those are acted upon and quickly too. Pleased the channel is continuing.

Government priorities should always start with education and health. Begin by paying teachers, doctors and nurses a decent wage. Then turn to utilities, for services we all use such as water, energy, banking and internet, set-up at least one not-for-profit provider in each sector fully owned by the UK public. As for the economy, introduce redistribution of wealth measures by applying fairer taxation on the very rich and raising the lower tax threshold for the poor. Each of these could be initiated right now.
