No doubt your comment is based upon what Phil said in the video, well I've got news for you-in terms of water he does not have a clue what he is talking about. He says that the water companies should spend money on infrastructure - that is exactly what they have been doing for the last God knows how many years. Every water company has to prepare asset management plans for 5 year periods detailing how much and where they are going to spend on capital infrastructure improvements over the period. Based on the level of spending.OFWAT decides by how much each water company can put its charges up to its customers. Phil is from the midlands and Severn Trent Water spent £442 million on infrastructure improvements in 2033-i guess that counts as investment. Don;t believe the hype, look at the facts. Water would not be better privatised, it was for decades and the pollution taking place is as a result of no spending for years by councils, who were responsibel for sewage disposal. Nothing was spent because there's no votes in muck and that is what you get with political interference.

Planning to shut down the fossil fuel industry is more nasty than Thatcher shutting down the coal industry. Not just the jobs that will be wiped out, but the revenues that fund public services as well. It is unnecessary, ideologically driven industrial vandalism. As we saw with Tata steel, Labour is ready to shaft working class people so they can virtue signal their green ideology. Their own self image is what counts.

​@@MRW515the term "the Nasty party" was coined by Theresa May to describe why the tories were unelectable after the iron lady.

I'm experiencing great schadenfreude that, while the Tories were continuously bleating about Labour having no plan, it's now obvious they did have detailed plans. Oh, happy day, callooh callay!

Labour should get some forensic accountant in to audit the last governments records. It will not be a skeleton they find in that cupboard but a whole graveyard. And if they find any shenanigans at least the people going to jail will have some chance at rehabilitation now.

Crime prevention and rehabilitation costs time and money. It is a long term investment that, eventually, reduces crime and the justice budget. Cuts show as a saving now, a big cost later. Ask the Californians when Regan became Governer, that's what he did, Cut. Within a few short years his "savings" were needed to pay for the extra police, courts, prisons and probation. Ask the Danes, they spend money on prevention and rehabilitation, about that which they save on their justice system. Obvious which is the better.

In 2019 I heard a proposal that we would look at the idea that people would not be gailed for minor crimes on the basis that more often than not people went into prison probably redeemable but came out hardened addicted and with a long lists of contacts.given that 50%plus of the prison population were in for reasonably minor crimes this did not make any sense.boris then took over and any idea of this happening we're ditched.now we in a position that non of the fat idiots prisons have been built and the prisons are full.that is what you get when you install the most stupid person in the country as the pm.

But with the way you described, you can't can live out your desire to punish people into oblivion, by treating them like they are in a dungeon, you can't pose as the 'tough on crime' guy and you can't privatize prisons to transform them into big money making slave labour camps for large corporations that donate to your party. All three of those policies are CORE PRINCIPLES of all conservatives world wide ! Don't you like conservative ideas ?? 😂😂😂

In respect of the prison overcrowding, would it be possible to overturn the IPP convictions as the actual IPP sentences are no longer legal. Unfortunately, in some cases, people have been in prison for 12 years and more for crimes like theft of a mobile phone or even a cigarette. Some have committed suicide as they are facing a sentence with no end date. That would free up some spaces

Priti Patel wants to reduce the prison population by bringing back hanging! I suppose she could have extended the list of capital offences. Speeding, shoplifting, walking on the cracks in the pavement.

Australian person here. You're right, Phil, it is vitally important for UK Labour to explain how badly the Tories left things. Not only that, I think it's worth Labour appointing a Special Minister of State (hopefully quite telegenic) with the task of holding the Tories to account for their policies/pronouncements in coming months and years. Here, we elected Labor 2 years ago and the new government DIDN'T adequately pin all the inherited crap on the previous Coalition (our Tories) government.

In the US they are trying to change the court system by letting felons run for President 😂

The idea that the people who cracked the Gulf of Mexico should be allowed to start new wells is insane.
