Will this be a regular event, bringing on ordinary members of the public, and getting their advice on what the national government should do? If so, I volunteer myself to be one of those interviewed. I have a lot of outside the box solutions to many major problems. Most will be about chasing and arresting the tax avoiders and dodgers. Jailing the grifters, such as Mone, and seizing their properties in reparation. Getting Shoesnake to detail all the deprived areas he took levelling up money from, to give to well-off Tory centres, and then force him to replace the stolen monies from his own personal fortunes.

I suspect defeated Tory ex-MPs are showing up on news channels because the channels are required to provide balance to their reporting. The Tories took such a fucking delicious hammering that Sky News etc have found it necessary to use them as there simply isn't enough sitting Tory MPs for them to always be able to pull together guests, often with haste, who have even a vague link - geographically/experienced/gov or non gov held roles/personal capacities& characteristics/schedules- whatever, to the story that is been covered that they have to grab ex-MPs for their coverage. The number of options in the fish pond has simply shrunk. Same goes for journalists and their curated networks of contacts, the number who are sitting MPs has shrunk dramatically. 100% agree it would be much better if they were no where near any coverage tho as we have already got rid of the shits once. Let's not forget that also means they're unemployed, have plenty availability and are more than keen for that appearance fee!😅 Hopefully the desperate pricks are aggressively undercutting each other driving the fees down💷🪓

It's not something new, but you had 14 years to fix it ffs. Let the grown ups get on with running the country now.

They had 14 years to fix every problem. He'd be the last person I'd ask for advice.

"Hi, I'm an abject failure who was rejected by the electorate. But like all arrogant Tories I believe I am born to rule, so everyone needs to listen to my opinion" 🙄

Zero of shame Zero self awareness!!

You had your chance, bubba, just go away.

He's the Tory equivalent of Jimmy Saville giving baby sitting advice.

The adults are in charge now and the dreadful Tories need to just let people rebuild their lives in peace.

The tories are the most dangerous offernders.

Every time a Tory minister was questioned about crimes it was ‘tougher sentencing’. Well now you have the consequences

It's just like Kwarteng being invited on all these media outlets. Guy nearly crashed the economy on the first day on the job, just so he could save the rich thousands of pounds more on their taxes, and he has the audacity to be giving advice to anyone? WTH?!

Because Kwarteng sat beside the deranged Dorries in the ch4 election night coverage, I naively initially thought he was doing okay on the night. Then he appeared on ITV later on...right at the exact moment Truss lost her seat. His reaction was total robot...no lights on in his eyes. He then claimed he remembered the exact details of the 1983 general election night in comparison....yet it was two weeks after his 8th bloody birthday...and he wasn't even challenged by Ed Balls or Suzanna Reid! A total charlatan.

Didn’t the Tories put convicted prisoners in Police cells back in 2022 or 2023 ?

You did nothing, said nothing. So, damned by your own silence, which rather undermines his "advice" to Labour.

You do a brilliant job calling out these Charlatans Max ❤

Well it could be useful for Labour. Just take whatever the Tory says on any issue and do the exact opposite to get the correct answer.

Can't the Tories just go away already....... How these failed politicians get invited on these shows still is beyond me

Still lying....and it now has nothing to do with him!! He failed... miserably!

So if Buckland has the "answers" why did they use their 14 years in power to let them get overcrowded?

I don't think they need a failed politicians advice. Support Labour 👍🏼✌🏼❤️😀

Also, what do the Sky team not get about that as well? I find the level of Sky journalism so brazenly commercial. Now and again, someone from Sky might actually show some plums...Jon Craig with Dick Holding, Sam Coates sometimes, Matt Barbet holding Gillian Keegan to the fire. But it's not nearly often enough...and all too often, folk like Sophie Ridge, Trevor Phillips and Beth Rigby leave me frustrated with their lack of engagement that thinking people can actually latch on to. I don't think LBC are much better. Sangita Myska paid the price for daring to properly challenge people...and sadly James O'Brien (whose heart is in the right place) refuses to call out his colleague Nick Ferrari in such a 'working for the man' defensive way.

The media ought to neglect Tories... especially when they have failed in government.

Lock him up!

They should be interviewing the previous health secretary (Victoria Atkins), the previous justice secretary (Alex Chalk), the previous environment secretary (Steve Barklay), and the previous education secretary (Gillian Keegan), and have them explain 'Why these areas are so BROKEN???'.

What a joke these people are. They can't help but blame everybody else

This guy lost with a 25% plummet in the Tory vote in his seat. Why is he being platformed??

It's like a non swimmer trying to teach people how to swim.

Blaming Labour as usual instead of fixing the problem during 14 years of power. Pathetic!!.

Oh I love this because A) That's all the Tories have been doing for 14 years whilst in power B) We're in week 2. It's literally impossible for the countries problems to not be the fault of the previous 14 year government. Any changes made by Labour will start having tangable effects in year 3 not week 3. Countries are like big ships, it takes a small rudder a long time to make course corrections

They have absolutely no shame or self awareness, arrogance to the Nth degree.

So if he knew what he was supposed to do, why didn't he do it? He had 14 years to fix the problem. Labour have only been in charge for a week! Classic MSM media giving people, who should be thinking about why they lost their seat, a platform to spout their nonsense. MSM should be interviewing those that won their seats from the Tories that lost them.

Well said! 👍 the Tories messed up in office, but now they know how to fix everything!😅 i agree too many Tories are being interviewed on news channels after they've lost their seats being asked for their opinions, why! FFS we've had 14 years of these clowns! We don't want to hear what they have to say anymore, having been forced to listen to their rubbish for 14 years!? Just go away! 😫🙏

We should do all the things I didn’t do when I was in charge

This what they should do. We couldn't, we were too busy stuffing our pockets with taxpayers money.

If bare faced cheek was a criminal offence this guy would be doing life!

Old habits die hard, the client media can't stop interviewing Tories. Labour needs to shake up Sky, the BBC, ITV, the Tory papers and the opaque think tanks in Tufton Street.

You're absolutely right about what a pathetic mis-service it is for the media to lap up with these rejected nobodies rather than ask the questions of those who are actually in power - or are at least up to discussing the subject. If you must interview a tory failure the subject should be their failure and why they were so poor at the job.

Turn your tv off when failed tories are on. It will soon stop.

Proof if proof were needed why these charlatans must never be allowed into power ever again.

The tory client medias job now, is to make the tories look like nice, caring, fluffy teddy bears for the next 5 years.

You need to swing the media to your side or at least make them unable to pretty up your opponents before you end up losing the next election. It doesn't matter what you did or say, it matters how people perceive what you did and said

Ex MP - blah blah blah ..... GO AWAY !!!! 🙄

The only advice should be don't do it like we did it.

He’s irrelevant.

Both Sky, and Buckland seem to have forgotten that our new Prime Minister was made a KCB for his service to his country as Director of Public Prosecutions. We really don't need their help.

I get the feeling that Labour are very busy, and this is what we're going to get from the people missing all the trappings of power. When the media don't have anyone to interview from the government. Give it time.

One of the best solutions would be to get rid of the previous Government 🤦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😷

Absolutely ludicrous to listen to his blather and nothing but "whataboutisms". Beyond satire and parody with them. Sky, shame on you.

No wonder Sunak likes Sky tv. Tory bias.

He is the problem, not the answer.

Gibberish from Buckland, as expected 🤦‍♂️😡

Sky News. That should answer your question.

Don’t worry, his input goes in the special filing cabinet which is in the corner. 🗑️

I had to read the headline twice to believe it. Astonishing and bizarre.

Laura K, Sunday, was in on the act inviting two ex Tory ministers!

They didn't invest in any infrastructure. Austerity was an absolute disaster for the UK - but you get the country you deserve when you vote them in.

They are also interviewing Blatcherites who lost their seats to independents (and they are even nastier and more bitter against these independents, who run without any donor money and just local volunteers). They love promoting the status quo’s megaphones, whether blue or red rosette.

The humbleness he displayed on election night after losing his seat didn't last long.

I don't think they have anything to add. Perhaps if they need advice they'll ask you tories.

Its called propaganda

Yes. That's what we need. Advice from incompetent and greedy has beens. They might as well bring back Liz Truss and recommend her to Starmer as a SPAD.

Who called for an election now? It was more party before country..

Where was he in the previous 14 years...????? 😂😂😢

The reason why Jack Staw had to use police cells (it was only for a few days) was because the prison offers was engaged in working to rule and other industrial action

Saw him on election day, walking up Marlborough Rd (Swindon). He looked as miserable as feck. So funny 😂

"This is not a new problem, and that's why in 14 years we did FA".

Desperate to keep their paymasters relevant?

I don't know precisely what happened there.😮😮😮😮

"You're not doinnnnnnng it right! Politicians don't fix things or make things better for the poor or normal folks!" -this Torrie nunce

The Tories ALWAYS try to do things on the cheap, be it, prisons, NHS, DWP , schools, etc.

When Jack Straw had to put prisoners in Police cells, was that down to striking prison officers?

Bringing up Jack Straw? WTF? HE had 14 years to fix the problems and did nothing except look after themselves, their rich mates, and increased their own salaries from £86K pa, to £100K, pa.

Why do we still have to listen to these losers

The tory should go away but he does have a lot of time on his hands now, just like most of the torys without a job.

This man should actually be rolled out every time to be honest. All he does and all he will ever do is frnot and centre remind us ALL why the whole Tory admin was a disaster. Whoever wins the latest Tory beauty contest needs the same bollocking.

My guess is that none of the rump parliamentary Tory party want to be interviewed about the leadership election. There are a lot of Official Opposition jobs to fill and jamborees to attend, so sitting MPs won't want to spoil their chances of getting one.

He's been on sky at least twice since the election. Full on "nothing to do with me guv" mode while offering unwanted advice to the people who beat him 🤦

Thanks Buckland, but we've got this, we'll take things from here now, eh?

14 yr of goverment um sorry how did they fail

I wouldn’t surprise me if this was a genuine mistake. Someone on the production teams booked him. And as soon as they realised their slip up it was too late and had to interview him. Also, why is he wearing a shirt and tie, when he’s unemployed?

Just the media trying to get reactions.

They invited him because the Labour are working. 😂
