Ed Miliband calls out Nick Clegg and Simon Hughes

[DreadnoughtMetal2006]

When Blair took over in 1997, Britain was £4 billion in surplus. By the time Brown left, Britain was £1 TRILLION in debt. What kind of brilliance is this, please?

Stolen money or lost money? Answers on a postcard, please YouTubers.

[knivesmcgraw]

David Miliband should be leader not Ed

[ClarinoI]

Ed Milliband is a joke, he knows he doesn't have what it takes to beat Cameron. He will lose the next election and sink Labour's chances even further. And no labour MP has the balls to stand up to him and get rid.

[daz99uk5]

Ed reminds me of Wallace :/

[maclachj1]

Ed is simple

[KrikenKing]

Why does Ed make fishing motions with his hands?

[tatiebogle]

@KrikenKing Cos he's used to Harriet Harman femafisting him!

[cakesofdeath]

Erectile Dis-function strikes again.  Get in there! er perhaps not!

[galaxything]

Ed miliband was selected to be PM after camaron before cameron was even PM, don't bother voting.

[classicalliberal11]

It's laughable that Labour think they can win the next with this dork leading them. I'm a Tory, but most people I know, who actually bother to vote, couldn't give a flying fuck about politics but when you ask "Cameron or Miliband"? The response is always the same; "Miliband is a joke and I'll never vote Labour again"... And these are same people that consistently voted Blair back into office.

Miliband and Labour are fucked.

[evertonjf08]

@classicalliberal11 I agree. David would have been such a better leader than his brother Ed.

[galaxything]

@evertonjf08 It was initially going to be David

[ukipwarrior]

Marxist prick

[aolfanboy]

Did Miliband just say fag?

[ShowPolitics]

@aolfanboy LOL

[mattcorden95]

@HeCameHeSawGROID I won't be taking any lectures from a neo nazi like you. Who are you even referring to when you say "idle trash"? I just had a look at your channel too, you sick racist bastard, you actually poke fun at the starving of millions, you clearly aren't a socialist. Thankfully the last person like you who ever came to power died in 1945, so I say again, it should be you up against the wall and shot

[HeCameHeSawGROID]

@mattcorden95 I'm a NATIONAL socialist moron. The Africans wanted independence, they got it. Countless whites have been murdered, and now the silly fucks find they are too stupid to run the place. All I can say is FUCK THEM and HAHAHA. I'm not a Nazi. I am not anti slav, not anti disabled and I don't think homosexuals should be killed.

[mattcorden95]

@HeCameHeSawGROID But you still think black people should be killed, you adopt a politics of hatred, why do that? go die.

[HeCameHeSawGROID]

@mattcorden95 No, where have I said that? You people always have to jump to hysterical, exaggerated accusations, probably because you cannot debate the actual issues, and that's because your position is untenable.

I expressed amusement that blacks violently dispossessed the whites who had modernised their country, and then it fell apart. The road to hell is paved with "good intentions" huh commie?

[mattcorden95]

@HeCameHeSawGROID Just a quick year 11 history lesson for you here, before 1906 when there was no welfare state lower classes were living in their own shit, they were dying before their 20th birthday while the upper classes were living lives of complete luxury. Stop being a selfish, pompous prick and get back to reality. It's right wing nutters like you that should be up against the wall and shot

[HeCameHeSawGROID]

@mattcorden95 Just for the record I think there should be welfare. But it should be restricted to British citizens and also not given to those who have children while in receipt. I am a socialist, a national socialist. You cannot have open borders and welfare. This trash Miliband will destroy this country, like labour already have, because it's "good for the jews". He'll be sunning himself in israel while england burns, waiting to come back for the gold.

[RockWillNeverDie95]

@mellowNdark Fucking upper class cunt. Just cos all you lot have everything you ever want at any time.

[sebastionay]

milliband will be the next PM, people need to wake up and realise that cons,lab and lib are all good friends behind the scenes, its like pro wrestling for people with no muscle

[bebo635]

lisssp

[London999able]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[dermotoblong]

i like my fags tho (rollies)

[domsokalski1]

People need to be less hostile to the LibDems, theyve done far more in govt than the Labour/Tory bias media like to admit. For instance with tuition fees, yes the cap is going up to £9000, but where the LibDems influence is that the students on the lowest incomes can get the first 2 years free. Also uni's can only charge over £6000 if they take on more students from disadvantaged areas, by roughly 40%, and offer much more financial help. Also im going uni, so im going to be affected by it..

[RockWillNeverDie95]

Vote Labour in the next election, all of you who have half a mind. You all know he Tories couldn't give a shit about the working class.

[kayl3g17]

Cleggy's a chain smoker lol

[newleaf14]

Legendary!

[american2015]

Gordon Brown was the most pathetic PM I've ever seen.

[american2015]

Miliband is the most pathetic opposition leader I have ever seen in the House of Commons.

[donnelnl]

This guy is a joke...though it proves how stupid Labour are. Basically giving the conservatives another 4 years! Thank god!

[choivonn]

so funny Ed Miliband!!!!!!!!!1 for 2015 dont vote Labour you vote the Conservative Party. its is the best party in UK

[TheRacketBoss]

@choivonn Vote Conservative? ,I'd sooner hang myself then vote in that bunch of thatcherite bastards, i vote labour to keep them out of power, and do youtube a favour? ,learn to spell properly.

[routebb]

Ed is a legend !! YOU ARE LITERALLY LIVING IN LALA LAND Ed and the rest of the party are in the wilderness for 10 years as they are totally out of touch and void of any popular appeal.And before you call me a tory, ive voted Labour since 1987 and have always taught in tough comps.If Ed was any good he would be mincing Cameron but he is a total lightweight.

[sludgewig]

that sounded very scripted to me, and when he said he had that little look of success which was ungenuine

[VOLVORULEZ1995]

"glum and glummer" rofl

[ArjunJethwa]

Ed Miliband just a few pre scripted sound bites - cant see him as a PM...

[lazytown222]

Glum and Glumer !!!

[SpearMinti]

Fucking children

[eezye1295]

'Labour's economic record is brilliant' - priceless.

[asubjectiveopinion]

Watching these pompous wankers pratting about like children on our coin makes me fucking sick.

Fucking parasites.

[lazytown222]

Ed Miliband talks with a tune??? sounds great!! Ke$ha of British Politics he can rap, he can sing and compose songs about the Coalition government.. KEEP IT UP! he is a talented-glamorous leader of the opposition

[lazytown222]

hahahahha misses speaker??? 

[LeBronFilms]

Politics are halarious! Milliband needs to learn to be more fluent though. :')

[CHRISTIAN6182]

Out of touch lol? The only party proven to be well and trully out of touch with our society are the traitors known as labour...sit the fuck down miliband. Tory have also failed us. Theyre all the same. BNP or UKIP for me next time :)

[prigg88]

@CHRISTIAN6182 Please never vote for the racists of the BNP

[CHRISTIAN6182]

@prigg88 Well whoever I vote for is my own business, and I won't let anyone sway my decision, just like no one else should. BNP are not racist. But at the moment it looks like it'll be UKIP for me.

[ubernaffa]

I don't understand why we are maintaining this charade that Ed will be leader of the Labour party, come 2015. Why doesn't he just save some time, and resign now?

[lazytown222]

Ed Miliband: Oh oh oh oh oh.. I know you hate me? I know you care? Shout WHATEVER! I don't care you are the one who makes us shout and we will never ever ever meet again you're an idol! hey quit crying were just friends what are you saying say there's another result right in my eyes my first try broke my heart for the first time and I was like cleggy cleggy cleggy woah! cleggy cleggy cleggy NO!

[proff180]

Whether people want to work or not, it's not going to do society any good by stopping peoples benefits, think about it, if someone can't pay the rent and they get kicked out of their home all they will do is end up on the street with nothing to lose, committing crime as a result, being anti-social, costing the tax payer as much and maybe even more than they would have done on the dole, so frankly I think the fact that this Coalition even entertains this notion shows how out of touch they are.

[dickpolson]

ed miliband is such a cunt

[1996KTDW]

Ed is a legend-simple as that

[MrTolleMolle]

@1996KTDW he is a stupid champagne socialist cunt

[1996KTDW]

@MrTolleMolle I disagree with the cunt comment but there is nothing wrong (in my oppinion) with democratic socialism.

[MrTolleMolle]

@1996KTDW there is something worng with government. Also i hope you are jumping for joy, we are going to have years of stupid political elite leaders with no idea of the real world who love high taxes and putting people down. I hope you enjoy it very much.

[1996KTDW]

@MrTolleMolle Ed Miliband, David Miliband, Yvette Cooper, John Healey, Andy Burnham, Angela Eagle, Alan Johnson, Douglas Alexander, Jim Murphy, John Denham, Sadiq Kahn, Mary Creagh, Ann McKechin, Maria Eagle, Meg Hiller, Ivan Lewis, Liam Byrne and Peter Hain where all state educated, therefor in touch with the average person. But it is a very different story if you look at the con-dem cabinet.

[MrTolleMolle]

@1996KTDW being state educated does not make you 'in touch'. Getting a proper job before going into politics would help.

[1996KTDW]

@MrTolleMolle I would have to disagree with you there, and a lot of them did have "proper jobs" before they went into politics, eg: Alan Johnson, he was a postman for years. If you go to a state school, you are around all sorts of people, you are around the people who's parents live on benifits, people who's parents are on minimum wage and struggle to feed and cloth their children, you are also around the people who parents earn £40, 0000 a year and never struggle. You understand the problems.

[MrTolleMolle]

@1996KTDW what you think gordon brown understood my problems, well if he did shit all about it. Thats one MP well done. How can you call Red Milipede a hero when all he has done is, gone to a state school (his parents could easily have afforded to send him to an indepedent one, they were just commis), Oxford for PPE (the biggest wanker degree subject ever), worked as a SPAD and then stabbed his brother in the back. He is a complete fool.

[prigg88]

@1996KTDW Being state educated does not make you in touch. It might put you in touch for a while but a lot of people in Labour are v. much out of touch inc. those who you mention. Being state educated and then going to Oxbridge & then into politics does not make you in touch rather it makes you out of touch. Having 1 thing in common in the past does not give you insight in to the world we're living in today.

[TheRacketBoss]

@1996KTDW Agreed, it has worked perfectly well in countries such as denmark and norway, completely agree with you.

[SmokeyCough]

Is this really politics? It looks like MTV...

[WSWarthog]

Glum and glummer...that's pretty sharp. Not a big fan of Ed Miliband but that was funny.

[lazytown222]

Misis ... mister speaka

[Eatshitandlol]

After Thatcher anything Labour do is perfectly acceptable, you boot out the party that suports everyone and replace them with the party that only caters for the rich, and then you all complain.

I am proud to say that i voted labour and now that the shit has hit the fan i get to be the "I told you so" guy, which is probably the best thing to come out of the coalition.

also fuck Clegg

[TheLahness]

@Eatshitandlol

I also voted Labour, and I was beginning to think I was abusing my ability to say "I told you so", but then I come on youtube and rewatch the lies and it re-news it all again

Time to go gloat at my friends who voted for these idiots :D

[CapitalBhoy78]

I WOULD RATHER HAVE ED MILIBAND AS PRIME MINISTER OF THE UK THAN DAVID CAMERON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!

THE ONLY FAULTS PEOPLE CAN SAY OF ED IS HE SOUNDS FUNNY OR HAS A LISP,REALLY SAD AND PATHETIC!!!!(ALTHO THAT IS THE TYPICAL TORY)

[kromed01]

I find it amusing how you are arguing about how you all believe that your guy is better. Tony Blair David Cameron, Nick Clegg, George Osbourne all of them are brought and paid for by the banks.

This country has become 'Americanised' in debt from the cradle to the grave.

[KOkingnufc07]

Its Will off the inbetweeners :D

[MCBRRRRSN]

The best thing the labour party ever did is elect a leader with a lisp.

Makes prime ministers questions all that more worth watching.

[THESTAFFIECHANNEL]

You are always going to come across as naive and hopelessly partisan by constantly peddling the ignorant myth that out of all the G20 countries who are in the same crisis, Gordon Brown should have steered Britain away from recession. As the media (sky news especially with their pathetic Debt O Meter) kept shoving this view down our throats we eventually accepted it as a fact.Come election time Ed will be victim of a savage media attack and he will lose, cos this country is Thick .

[trentsteel1]

Get in there Red 

[jbarks10]

@trentsteel1 Millie Miliband has no leadership qualities. You idiots ditched the only decent candidate you had, David Miliband, because you lot are the Unions' bitches!! Fucking clowns.

[Mattyy248]

Yeah, amazing how Labour begged Cleggy for a coalition aswell isn't it? It's weird how they've inherited 13 years of reckless spending by Labour, and Ed Miliband thinks he's so hilarious giving little jokes. With Hatty Harperson on his side laughing, desperately hoping for a lead in the polls.

It's a shame, because when this government sorts out this reckless mess, Labour might come back and once again bring the country back to the brink fo bankruptcy.

[yeahacoustic]

@ToaJoe now i despise the tories, but labour have an awful awful economic record. gordon brown was very much partly responsible for the economic crash; city deregulation even larger than that of thatcher's, meaning a reckless, spendheavy and lendheavy culture that spread across the globe (remember that london is possibly the world's current economic capital). and they had already amassed a several billion pound deficit even before the recession. good riddance, vote green/socialist.

[ToaJoe]

@yeahacoustic No, they don't have an awful economic record. Labour didn't deregulate the banks, actually. That was Thatcher. The global economic crisis at the moment is a direct result of Reagan and Thatcher's policies during the 80's. Labour, like every other government in the industrialized word, failed to identify the fact that we were experiencing a huge boom, they just thought we'd ended boom and bust. But actually, we now face the bust. Not Brown's fault, but he wasn't reponsible enough.

[yeahacoustic]

@ToaJoe bullshit. labour deregulated the banks even more than thatcher ever did, and engaged in reckless spending across the board with the creation of pointless quangos simply to keep them in power and win more votes. brown was as much a cause as thatcher or reagan. brown was a feckless moron and this corrupt right wing power should never be let into power again

[millard27]

@ToaJoe

You're an idiot.

[ToaJoe]

@millard27 Their economic record is brilliant. Had they not handeled the banking collapse properly, the consequences would be dire. Our situation is not as bad as the Tories are pretending. The deficit is a huge problem, but saying the Tories would have done it better is a joke, since you only have to look at this video: /watch?v=bR_hfQU-4r0

[biggest007fan]

@ToaJoe errr, yes it is their fault for spending £4 for every £3 in taxes raised. all to simply get your vote and bankrupt the country.

[ToaJoe]

@biggest007fan Our debt is lower than the debts of Italy, France, Japan, Germany, and the USA. Our deficit is proportionately smaller than our WW2 debt, when no spending cuts were needed. The structural deficit before the banking crisis struck was lower than the structural deficit inherited by Blair and Brown in 1997.

So, explain to me why we're on the brink of bankruptcy, please.

[biggest007fan]

@ToaJoe because mr brown and co didn't regulate the banks strongly enough. true, the recession was inevitable but the scale of the debt is purely down to too many benefits to lazy people, too much immigration (giving them free homes - stupidity!) and greedy bankers taking excessive risk. The 1997 deficit was under more control as well with a good economy. If labour had won the election, god help us lol. It will take a long time before i gain confidence in labour again like many others

[ToaJoe]

@biggest007fan Brown didn't regulate the banks strongly enough- yes. Because he presumed Thatcherite economics was sustainable. As it turns out, Thatcher's economics plan failed completely in the long term (Reagan's, too).

What you said about the deficit is bullshit. The structural deficit is a result of investment in the public sector overblown by the banking sector bail out.

[biggest007fan]

@ToaJoe a bailout caused by poor regulation. lol contradicted yourself there.

I think you're gordon brown in disguise or one of his goafers. lol. You're defending these idiots on every single labour video

[ToaJoe]

@biggest007fan You retarded economic illiterate. I suppose you think David Cameron would have done better if he were in power at the time?

[biggest007fan]

@ToaJoe Anyone is better than browny. lol. I think i've proved my point because you are getting angry for some reason. Oh by the way, I hardly think i'm illiterate considering i have a masters in economics.

[ToaJoe]

@biggest007fan LOL- you do not have a masters in economics. If that was true, why did you originally say that the recession was caused by lazy benefit claimers and too much immigration, then shift your argument to regulation and still soley blame it on Gordon Brown? Do you realise how horribly retarded you sound? This is like someone trying to convince me that creationism in more plasuable than evolution.

[DukeofWellington91]

@ToaJoe Sarcasm I hope, and the 180bn you mention is the deficit not the debt.

[ToaJoe]

@DukeofWellington91 Yes, and the banking bailout cost £180 billion. Therefore, any claim that Labour 'bankrupted' the country is utterly incorrect.

[TheJinkedful]

@ToaJoe the defecit is 180 billion A YEAR. That is how much more money we get into debt through overspending EACH YEAR. The national debt is £950 BILLION. How on earth can you be so ignorant... Don't you ever open the Guardian and wonder why there isn't a single economist quoted, a single statistic mentioned, a single article which offers an alternative to "CUTS=EVIL! NO NEED TO CUT! MONEY NOT AN ISSUE!"

[ToaJoe]

@TheJinkedful No, the debt is £4 trillion, the defiit is £180 billion. Can you not see the irony in my original comment? I read the guardian because it has the principles right, but actually whenever I want to read something from a logical economic perspective I read the financial times or the economist. I am trained in economics, and I am not happy with what Labour did. But it is worth noting that saying it's 100% Labour's fault is irrational

[TheJinkedful]

@ToaJoe its only 4 trillion if you are including residual debts like pension, which no one does since we are all quite comfortable with ignoring that little bombshell until it hits... I have a feeling no one sees the irony in your comment... the other thumbed up commented is praising miliband sooo... sorry, i had assumed you were an idiot. Its possible to argue its 100% labour with a straigh face, especially if you have a negative view of the FSA. I don't agree with that perspective but still.

[ToaJoe]

@TheJinkedful I am not as harsh on Brown as most people are. He had made seriously bad mistakes as early as 1998, but it wasn't unique to Brown. I really despise the Conservatives, although I like some of their members. The issue is, on one side you have Labour figures who refuse to apologise, and on the other you have Tories who pretend the deficit is unique to Britain. Both are politically motivated stances. Brown has credit for his immediate response to the crisis, IMO

[TheJinkedful]

@ToaJoe I'd never try and argue that the response to the crisis was poor. They did the right thing, and i'm glad about that. But i dislike the labour party for trying to use legitimate keynesian arguments to paint a false picture of a world where there don't need to be any cuts. Because thats the affect balls rhetoric is having. People think he's telling them there is no need to cut, and labour let people believe that. I think that is very damaging to the wider debate.

[ToaJoe]

@TheJinkedful Labour's rhetoric is indeed misleading, and the public are not buying it. Only a minority of people actually believe there is no need for cuts, but the way the coalition are cutting is incredibly unfair. Both sides have got this wrong.

[TheJinkedful]

@ToaJoe see, what do you mean by unfair? they have to cut, and since almost all public services help the least well off in society, the cuts are always going to hurt the least well off more. I don't really see any alternative to cuts which hurt people who are already disadvantaged. That is monstrous, but it is how things appear to be.

[ToaJoe]

@TheJinkedful The cuts need to be milder, and they need to do more on progressive taxation. That doesn't make me a socialist at all, BTW. The truth is, the state IS too big, but there is absoloutely nothing fair about the fact the rich are not suffering but the middle classes are.

[TheJinkedful]

@ToaJoe okay, now when you say milder, what do you mean? less? because the amount they are cutting isn't actually enough to close the deficit. progressive taxation in a limited sense i agree with, but once you tax the uber rich over 45% they just leave. I am also very conscious of the fact that often when people say progressive taxation they mean taxing middling income people. surely you agree with the lfiitng of people earning below 10k from the tax system? thats progressive in my view

[ToaJoe]

@TheJinkedful Milder, I mean 15% cuts instead of 20%, for example. And yes, I definitely support tax cuts for the poor but also middle income earners. One of the big problems with this coalition is that the middle income family is going to suffer by FAR the most. What we need is much higher inheritance tax, and mansion taxes. I welcome the cut in corporation tax, though.

[NGC773]

@ToaJoe Forgive me but Labour overspend 11 years out of 13........

[Marnerbanana]

@Mattyy248

"brink of bankruptcy"

how about the recessions of the 80s and 90s?

remember norman lamont and david cameron then?

[Oliprof]

Of course, if you watch the full thing on Parliament TV, it looks less like Miliband "owning" Clegg and more like hollow rhetoric.

[xArmagideonTime]

Hahaha 'no wonder he's back on the fags'

What a guy. I hope he's something like his father.

[Nosmos]

No wonder as he's back on the fags!!! Lol!

[punkjewellery]

If they still had spitting images,this bloke would be destroyed after the first episode.

[FabFM]

@punkjewellery Nah, it would have been Clegg and Cameron "The Lovers" that got destroyed by Spitting Image!

[DeadButFeelingBetter]

so much for a new politics with less squabbling, soundbytes and bitchness - nothing will EVER change, that why i dont vote for anyone - especially this bunch of hypercritical cunts

[brett18uk]

@DeadButFeelingBetter You said it yourself - you don't vote and therefore the point you make, whilst you're entitled to make it, is hugely undermined.

[DeadButFeelingBetter]

@brett18uk never mind, i hardly think my "non vote" is going to be missed.

[helpmeImbeing]

What real use does have flimsy point scoring have on bettering the situation of the uk? Ed's role within the last government with relation to his position at the treasury pretty much has ensured his failure. His promises made to win leadership will be crushed to dust by reality.

[Lutchenka1]

O "sombra"!

[Lolee16]

Good lad Ed! :)

[DomPusey]

genius!
