In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

It was zelensky who campaigned on peace with Russia and then did a U turn and shelled the Donbas killing 14,000 before Russia invaded. We must never lose sight of that. UK's foreign policy is the US neocon's policy. As appropriate for a loyal vassal.

"The new sanctions hold accountable those who support Putin's regime, including those who would like to see Ukraine destroyed, its national identity dissolved and its future erased," said British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly.
Very clever this man does not seem to be. Nothing except the already boring Russophobia.

Eesh. This came across as propaganda rather than an interview, coming across as asking the questions he wanted. e.g. when he says "yes, but we have to think about 50 years in the future", the answer should be "that document is about how we are sinking in to a pit because our relations with other countries sucks. How can we restore the world's faith in the UK?" rather than "that's amazing"

I remember when I subbed to this channel when you had very few subscribers & i'm proud to see how far you have come. I hope you continue to deliver impartial, factual & concise news.
I would like this channel to eventually become a big institution considering that most of our TV news channels are becoming more Americanised by yelling at the camera & trying to sway their opinion for clicks.
Please next time do try to challenge government members more though.

I feel like this type of video is better hosted on a separate channel. I thought the whole point of TLDR News is short, snappy news without all the fluff—this interview is the opposite of that.

In interviews you are very cooperative and positive to your subjects without too many tough questions, but in your commentary you are much sharper able to criticise in a no-nonsense manner. This is pragmatism mostly?
