Political Disasters Who Will Stop Media Manipulation?

[00:00:00]Look at the list. Who's going to do that? Who's most likely to actually come at them? To actually say this country deserves better. You brought us Brexit.

[00:00:08]You brought us Boris Johnson. You brought us Liz Truss. You brought us austerity. These political disasters don't happen without media connivance and media complicity. And now, you're coming for Keir Starmer. Who's going to stand up and stop that process? Cuz Keir Starmer didn't. Is Andy Burnham going to do that? I frankly doubt it. Is Angela Rayner going to do that? Is Ed Miliband going to do that? He's already had his chance. The Daily Mail maligned his dead father. Look it up. It's one of the most hideous examples, even by the grim standards of Paul Dacre, the former editor of that paper, when they came for Ed Miliband's dead dad, a military hero who served this country. And the Daily Mail came for his dead dad. So, he's not going to do it. Wes Streeting? Seems unlikely. Used to be a good thing for a politician to be desperate to be liked.

[00:00:54]Now, I'm not so sure.

[00:00:55]And of course, Wes Streeting, whether he's desperate to be liked or not, is loathed by a significant swathe of the Labour Party membership.
