Question Time | 5th July 2024 | Starmer Enters No.10 in Labour Landslide
The country has spoken, and we have a new Labour government and prime minister. Fiona Bruce presents a special debate of the new political picture, with politicians and voters, in London. On the panel, the new Environment secretary Steve Reed MP; the Conservative Peer Lord Finkelstein; the deputy leader of Liberal Democrats, Daisy Cooper MP; Ben Habib, who is the deputy leader of Reform UK; and the broadcaster and journalist Andrew Marr.

Why do so many people insist on saying "The proof is in the pudding" - it makes no sense & it isn't even a real phrase. The correct phrase is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" which does actually make sense, though people are either too ignorant or too bloody lazy to use it.

Thanks @Political TV. I'm not a reform voter and never will be, but the back and forth between reform and labour on the question of 'Who is suitable to lead the Conservative party?' really troubled me and underscored that, at least for the moment Labour are underestimating the potential pull of the Reform party. The whole interaction really just showed they don't understand the root cause of Reform's appeal.

I found the whole brushing away of Reform’s electoral prospects by the Tory peer completely ridiculous. Look at how many seats up and down the country had Reform in 2nd with the combined Tory-Reform vote clearly higher than the Labour vote. I get that it’s too simple to just say all Tory voters would turn around and vote Reform, but I 100% think it should be clear to Labour that their popular support is a much less solid than they are trying to portray to the public. I hope they can find it in themselves to be more radical in action. I don’t want to know how things will turn out if the Labour government fails and the pendulum swings even harder back to “the right”, or “Right/Nationalists” however they’d like to call themselves.

They even got rid of Hardeep Singh Kolhi on superious allegations, but tried to cover up grooming gang scandales because a certain minority would be exposed. They will happily beat up on Indians Punjabi, Sikh, Hindu males but will not on others.

Which seems reasonable as if EDF can do it cheaper than BE then so long as it gets done the policy would have worked. I am also confused as in 2014 we renationalised Network Rail which surely would fall foul of any regulation that prevents new nationalised companies?

Excellent. Red says, no the reds, after the the mess the blues did, are the best. Blue says, no, because of the reds, blue can do much better. Meanwhile everyone CONTINUES.
Danny Finkelstein came over well. He suggested the Conservative party do more listening and reflecting, and he demonstrated that during the programme. Unfortunately for the Tories, its leading members will pay no attention, and any good he may have done for his party has long since been undone.
Labour completely avoid hard questions 😂
“Reform got a lot of votes. What are you gong to do about that”. Nothing. They lost. Just like the Tories, Lib Dem’s and the rest. Labour have the majority so they just need to enact their policies.
4 million people, after six weeks of campaigning, more and more people will wake up to the other parties, and turn to reform, as they are still sick of the same ass.
I would rather have a proportionate representation and parties trying to work out compromises /allegiances than I would have people lying to become leaders, lying to become government, Not disclosing their true plans for tax and social care because I know it’s so hard to get that magic number and because it’s so hard to game the first past the post system.

Electoral system is something that happened to be set up hundreds of years ago , that clearly should be modified according to a changing circumstance and that is being kept in place primarily by the tories or labour refusing to discuss the reform of it because it suits them as it is . Whilst some people are against a more proportional form of representation on principle by and large it’s about serving self interest - it’s not about democracy, it’s not about what’s in the interest of the country, it literally is about what serves the interests of the main two parties

I don't like Reform but the point their guy made about why is it that Israel gets so much heat when other countries don't is 100% right- I wish they had directly put this question to the audience member who asked the Gaza question, as I suspect his answer (or lack of) would have been very telling. What lessons should Labour learn from losing a handful of seats due to their stance on this issue? Again the questioner should maybe ask himself another question- how did they manage to get 410 other seats despite this stance? Maybe because they picked the right stance?

Why is it not obvious that every single problem with NHS, sewerage, power etc have one massive thing in common and that's far too many people suddenly requiring each service! We can't keep letting more people in without infrastructure which takes huge amount of time. NHS wastes too much money but also had far too many people using the service, water and sewerage infrastructure is mostly ancient with very slow upgrades and now with huge amount of people it can't cope, power again more people with more electric devices to quickly and upgrades to slow to keep up. Every problem stems to same issue, population growth is far too large for infrastructure and needs to stop then be balanced with what we can cope with. Just trying to pump more money into every service isn't the answer at all, yes everything needs money to upgrade but a realistic time frame needs to be put in place as all of these services took absolutely years to sustain population growth at a similar level for decades then boom we open borders and then people wonder why all our services can't cope? Just makes me furious when MPs keep saying it's lack of money what's caused the problem when it's impossible to keep up. All these parties angry at water and sewerage issues(quite rightly) but they want to build thousands of new homes for thousands of new people even though our ancient services can't cope now.
