MATT GOODWIN: Keir Starmer's Speech PROVES He's CLUELESS About Britain's REAL ISSUES

did you watch that speech some of you have already been in touch with me and told me that uh you only managed a couple of minute minutes of it and then you had to switch it off but did you manage to get to the end and if so what did you actually think what was your key takeaways from it we'll go through all the bits don't worry uh in case you missed it but there was lots of messaging uh loads of people pretty much are Nazis I think was one of the takeaways that I took um it was all the tor's fault and uh we're all going to get battered in the budget in October they were my key kind of takeaway from that I don't know I don't know everyone else what you think at home but Matt Goodwin your overall opinion to it all I thought it was a very bad speech I thought it was very gloomy pessimistic it's very depressing I think starma basically doubled down on what he said in the aftermath of the riots much of the country are Mindless thugs anybody who voices concern about some of the big issues in Britain are simply populists who should be derided here's one of the most remarkable things about that speech to me K starma did not mention what is according to voters the number one issue in the country he didn't mention it once immigration he didn't mention the broken borders he didn't mention how the country is being transformed and he even said which I thought was remarkable he said the idea that there was any legitimate protest was a pretense so here he is doubling down on the narrative that he had after the riot so I think he looks fundamentally out of touch with the country I think that's why his leadership ratings are collapsing I think it's why Labor's already in a very weak position I think he looks lost Michelle does he look lost to you no he doesn't look lost to me at all um doubling down is consistently saying what what he believes to be the case and I think he's right he didn't say much of the country is Mindless thugs quite the reverse what he said is uh that mindless criminal violent Behavior was the work of a very very very small group of mindless criminal Thugs who need to be uh arrested and prosecuted with a full force of the law who don't speak for any chunk of the country they don't speak for people those mindless thugs those criminals for people who've got concerns about immigration and if you have got concerns about immigration setting fire to an asylum hostile is not the way to raise those concerns and if you do set fire to an asylum hostile and assault dozens and dozens of police officers and put them in a hospital then you forfeit the right to have a hearing if you're one of those mindless just to be clear though you do think that some people in the country have a legitimate reason to feel upset about immigration I I absolutely understand that immigration is a really big issue that's great so why can't K St say that it was a really big issue in the election and uh K starmer's labor has very clearly said illegal immigration getting that down they they've made absolute commitments to do that and if they don't they're going to be judged against it and they've said legal migration very clear commitments to get that down too and that's because they recognize this is a concern for people I think I think that issue in itself speaks to a bigger point about the speech today which is suddenly we're asked to believe that the country's economics and the finances are worse than uh labor thought they were when they came into Power well the head of the institute for fiscal studies has already said that's absolutely nonsense in fact I remember Paul Johnson before the election saying guess what guys nobody is being straight with you taxes are going to have to go go up uh spending is going to have to come down and now we're supposed to believe according to G dama that actually everything is worse now that he's behind the black door of uh Downing Street and also I'm so confused because you know he can afford the big wage increases for public sector workers they can afford to be spanking 5 to 10 billion on a broken Asylum system David Lamy can afford to suddenly come up with 100 million to throw at uh countries overseas to increase International aid cuz he thinks that's going to reduce immigration which is baloney but now we're asked to believe that actually the finances are really tight and taxes are going to go up and we all better get ready for this tough time I don't think Labor's actually making any difficult choices I think labor is basically telling us what their political priorities are which are to keep Mass immigration ongoing to keep public Spectre wages going up and to make the British taxpayer pay for it all I think that's basically what's happening how do you work out after seven weeks in which all they've done is fight an election in which they were very clear that illegal immigration must come down and legal migration must come down how do you work out after 7 weeks that actually what they plan to do is let them go up because they've liberalized the system even more they've increased migration from Afghanistan they've removed the salary thresholds for legal migration they've removed they haven't removed the salary threshold for legal they've removed the previous raise in salary thresholds so they've made it easy they said they're going to do that no they haven't they yes they have they haven't done it and they haven't said they're going to do it they no no they haven't what they said is that that as they said before that they would take the advice or consider the advice of the of the of the committee that was set up by the previous government to advise the government on what those thresholds should be they're going to lower they're going to lower the thresholds they've removed the Rwanda deterrent they've amended the illegal migration act so it's so they're now going to Grant Asylum to probably 60,000 people who entered Britain illegally let's just be real with the British people this is what why get that's going to be real but you just said something that is absolutely not true you said they've changed the threshold they haven't you said they've said they're going to they haven't those things are not true they are going to lower the salary thresholds for legal migration they've also removed the Rwanda deterrent we have no deterrent for illegal migration which is why the Randa deterrent wasn't a deterrent it was a nonsense hundreds of millions of pounds on a on a scheme that the most that it was ever going to do was send 1% of asy like what kind of what what kind of a deterrent is that nobody in Westminster even allowed it to take shape the other thing is if labor is doing sorry Michelle but one thing if labor is doing such a good job at managing migration 6 seven weeks into it why are the small boat numbers continuing to go up why are people continuing to arrive why is AET Cooper said she's going to remove 14,000 people from the country but we've allowed in 132,000 since 2018 it's bananas taking your previous point about the deterrent what kind of a deterrent is it to somebody who's prepared to get on a on an incredibly flimsy laugh raft that people regularly die Crossing to tell them that there a there might be a 1% chance that they might be they might get sent to Rwanda that's not a deterrent that's absolute nonsense you know it's absolute nonsense no we can't solve this crisis until we have a deterrent and what K starm showed today and you know I'm I'm always happy to disagree to have healthy disagreement but the reality what what really worries me about starma speech today you and I would accept Okay we we we we don't agree with criminality we don't agree with violence but we both know that a large number of people out there don't feel safe in brit anymore they feel that the migration crisis is out of control why can't K starm just look at the camera and say to the British people I get it I get it you don't feel safe I get it I'm going to do something about it why can't he just say that well he did talk about people feeling safe in the streets and I'll pay I'll play you that clip in just a second but I just want to respond to you Sean because you're saying uh in response to what uh Matt is saying about Ireland being a uh sorry Rwanda being a deterrent you're basically saying it was no deterrent whatsoever the deputy prime minister of Ireland absolutely believes that the Rwanda plan was a deterrent because he's saying uh or he was saying that migrants were actually going to Ireland because of the Rwanda plan they didn't want to stay in the UK so they were moving to Ireland well that so it wasn't a are you saying he's talking nonsense as well absolute nonsense yeah absolutely on a second the the idea the idea that people were were going to Ireland instead of the UK because they were so deterred by a nonsensical plan that after 2 years never come in never come into force and was never going to is ridiculous presumably he's got his own reason for saying that patently patently new at the time because there was tent cities there was row and row and row of tents in Ireland this was a huge problem for them this was happening this was interviews that were happening at the time it was very much the case that people were going to Ireland and they were citing things like they didn't want to stay in the UK because they felt that they be removed to uh Rwanda I don't know why you think respectfully that you think that you know more about Ireland situation than the deputy promis of Ireland because because because it's a nonsense story like somebody says something that's ridiculous doesn't matter who they are it's still a ridiculous thing to say isn't it so so you when we're being when we're seeing the kind of the imagery coming out of Island when you're looking at the numbers when you're listening to the deputy Prim act that you don't believe that I don't I don't believe it but then you think that we should all sit there and listen to K dama standing in a Rose Garden telling us all this and that and the other because he's standing there saying it but nobody's being asked to believe it because he's standing there to say it he's the Prime Minister he's make he's making a speech in in I think a pretty transparent way I don't I don't think he's I don't think he's telling lies I don't think he's trying to Hoodwink people people can make up their minds that's you know that's democracy that's supposed to be well deriding much of the country as being populist because they're expressing concerns about issues that are entirely legitimate I don't think that's leadership I think what starm is doing is he's basically carving out half the country and saying I don't really like you you're all a bit far right and a bit populist I want to talk about what I'm interested in which is over here which is the economy which is you know coming up with these numbers that everybody knew were going to be arriving before the election and now he's saying oh I didn't expect these numbers to come here I think it was a very disingenuous speech actually it was disingenuous thought so why is Paul Johnson from The Institute for fiscal studies which is an independent credible body saying everybody knew taxes was going to have to we're going to have to go up before the election so why is Paul Johnson saying that if we're now being asked to believe that Everything's changed now that K St has gone into number 10 are you saying that labor in during the election said that they wouldn't raise any taxes are we are we revising history now Rachel Ree and K St were pretty explicit on working people they said they said they said no increase in income tax no increase in National Insurance no increase in vat no increase in corporation tax they very explicitly named four taxes they very very clearly didn't say there'll be no increase in any tax you and that's what Paul Johnson when he says everybody knows some other taxes were going to go up I mean people are not stupid if you say that these four will definitely not but you won't make any commitments about anything else what do people think that means I think it's news I think everything you said this morning is is news to the British people actually I think they would rather have a lot clever than you think they are I think they'd rather have a conversation about what they're saying is the top issue fac in the country and Kama didn't mention once this morning that that wasn't what his speech this morning was about state of the nation speech it wasn't it wasn't the state of the nation speech actually it was a speech about the economy principally and about what is what is going to be possible and feasible in such a difficult situation and when they box them in box themselves in with so many uh very restrictive commitments like those four big taxes like their commitments not to borrow um and and that's why he's made this speech it's basically a speech that says to the British people exactly what they said during the election although more gloomily which is it's going to be very very difficult we are in a very difficult position and we're not going to make up lies about all kinds of stuff we can do that we can't we're going to be honest it's going to be hard and slow and painful
