14 years of tory excrement & it's still someone else's fault.

Tories have sold everything off

I am a quantity surveyor who has been involved in building over three thousand houses in the past 10 years in London. Some of this house/apartments are labelled "affordable" which is not really the case. In general, out of all the houses/apartments built in the past 10 years, 80% of them are not affordable. So when politicians say we built millions of houses, ask them what percentage is affordable and you would be surprised they don't have a clue

The fact that the housing minister can show his face to public is unbelieveable arrogance!!

this reform bloke is like a harry enfield character....a caricature of the pub bore backseat driver

TORIES ARE SHAMELESS

We want a General election. Go home tory

Tories have definitely been the cruelest and coldest party ever, betrayed the British public, they will never recover

The 75 year old gentleman is spot on 👏👏he has got their number and was rudely interrupted

Tories shifting responsibilty onto local councils when they’ve cut local council funding by about 50%. Tories always have money for war and tax cuts and helping out their rich mates / cushioning them from tax and everything else is living beyond our means.

Reform guy is such a clown 😭

I'm already fed up if reform, bunch of cranks

I wish the rest of us lived in the same country the Tories do... It sounds great but it doesn't resemble the UK. 😂😂😂

So many in Government should not just be removed, but arrested, put into court and placed in prison

Isn't it interesting that this debate is about the LOCAL elections, but 3 out of the 5 debaters are MPs. And it would likely be 5 out of 5 if the Greens and Reform had more than 1 MP each. Why not invite council leaders or even elected mayors, the people directly involved in local politics?

I understand time restrictions, but what’s the point of inviting the public to ask questions and then not let them speak?

Yeah build more house for the Tory landlords to buy yeah so it is the wrong houses

Has the the Reform gadge got a shift behind the bar after the debate?

What an absolute pile of horseshit. We're doomed

Need a general election this is will of the people.

Why are they all so scared to criticise isreal ?what hold does isreal have on this country.

Reform shouldn't even be in this debate, the fact is only voters in a few council areas will have the option to vote for them. So what they have to say is irrelevant for most voters in this election. General election is a different story, they'll probably have quite a big impact then.

End the occupation.

Reform candidate - classic pub chatter 😂. Who invited him to a serious debate.

If the British people 🇬🇧😅😅 vote conservative or Labor again were really Doomed 👎

My god what a car crash

I'm an Irish gentleman living in my beautiful beloved country, Ireland 🇮🇪 but I must ask you as an EU citizen too. Why would we want Britain in the EU again? All that going to happen is someone like fartage gets elected to EU parliament and doesn't even turn up to do their job 😂😂😂😂😂. I can't see Britain being allowed even a better deal, let alone, allowed to rejoin the EU 😅. My own wife is born and bred in Yorkshire, and she tell you the same thing. We're better without Britain in the EU, although I really do believe Scotland wants to be an EU member and should be given the opportunity to rejoin. But please, while Britain is not even upholding its own sign agreements, can we in EU stop talking to Britain 😢they haven't stood by agreements why would stop as EU members they didn't before after all. If Britain does get membership again, then they will destroy EU .

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere. Homeless people sleeping in doorways. A women with cat whiskers makeup casually walking into Tesco with her pajamas. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country.

The Reform guy was a joke!

Also, every time, you see a man in a terrible blazer and YOU KNOW he's a Tory.

Channel 4 News, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!

It’s unfortunate this wasn’t held over several evenings where the claims made by the panel members could be fact checked.

"The Tories have built 2 1/2 million homes". Erm. Nope. They've actually not built a single home. They have allowed billion pound developers to build huge numbers of homes. And changes to planning law have removed the incentive for the developers to include social and affordable housing in the mix of what they build.

Cracking debate. Amazed the host could handle it Everyone had a fair chance to speak

He speaks about 'difficlties,' like his party had no part in creating those catastrophic problems

Literally every other party representative kept speaking over and interrupting the Green Party representative. She showed a lot of respect and politeness to people who didn’t deserve it.

It’s funny how they desperately dodging the subject and getting choked when Israel is being questioned.

what a load of rubbish, need a more formal set up for the debate. If there isn't enough time to get full answers for each questions, take less questions. Need far more local councillors aswell, too many MPs

These "argie bargie" discussions? What a tool! This is about peoples lives.

"We've built 2 1/2 million houses"....no you haven’t. Private developers have built most of them.

you leave the tories, to vote for reform.... man!!! we need to have an intervention on your behalf.

Tories love the housing system - they're all landlords. Less houses - their assets are worth more ... Also with immigration - more people come here, either legally or not - more people for the workforce that are forced to take harrowing conditions without Unionism, like that sweat shop in Leicester. It's money on money for them.

if you keep voting for tax cuts nationally, you cut local provision as long as the nationalgoverment is the principal fund provider for local councils that they view as their political rivals in terms of achieving local successes

If capitalism requires a growing population you cant hide behind said growing population when theres a housing crisis. Also good to see the correction over the term illegal immigration.

This just makes me want to leave the country 😂

Its so so funny when Tories talk as if they haven't been in power for years. they've destroyed our country since the 80's

What the interviewer fails to realise is that, although Reform UK is a new party, his bosses of Channel 4 have invited a Reform UK representative on the panel because the popularity of the party is such, that Reform UK, and thier voters are multiplying every day...

End no fault evictions.

Also as someone from the Wirral myself i dont trust the lady who is in charge of here one bit .. her council has destoyed this area and its their own greed and their own fault. They are known for corruption around here and spending money they dont have and spending it on investments for their own benefits not for the public.

Arggghhhh if the power companies hadnt been privatised then the government could lower the energy bills without the windfall tax or anything else

'if I'm honest'😅😅😅😅

intro with snappy tough questions was good. i like putting all of them on the spot.

I am 64 and I have been hearing these same questions and answers for 50 years. What's the point

Rent control now!

No one is saying, that if we stop paying hotel bills for illegal immigrants, there might be enough money available for the homeless, the schools. hospitals and more. Wake up, you British people. The people on the panel do not have a clue what the poor folks are going through.

Incredible how they all answered the questions without answering the questions

the only party that gave a straight answer on where to get money for councils was reform.

I have big arms and going to show them...

Generally prefer C4 News over most broadcast journalism in the UK, but have to say that it makes you appreciate how well run Question Time is.

From the start Alyson, representing Labour, sounds as Tory as the Tories. Yes, the country wants a change, but don't expect anything earth-shatteringly different. Remember Tory Blair?

Reform Uk has hundreds of PP candidates in every area of the counrty. Everyone I know is voting Reform UK in the general election. Even my neighbour, aged 72, who has been a staunch conservative since she was of an age to vote is voting Reform UK in the general election.

"When are we sending all the muslims back?"

This is not CGM best work. Trying to fly from one sound bite to the next. No interest in depth.

British politics is sounding too much like I5raeli politics. Utter denial. Get rid of both parties. Another world is possible!

You don't need to build more houses if you control rents and landlords, because you are them.

Pink must be so embarrassed that after her explosive rant everyone else in the room could speak like a normal adult lol.

Nobody mentioned the boat visitors costing us billions.Funny that.

Labour Party Councils are going bust 😮

Before we build more houses we need more reservoirs and water treatment plants to support the new houses.

god help us

USLESS.

that Fiona gets right up my nose she lets tories talk for to long when its labour all the others on the panel she hurrys them up when its there turn

Channel 4 has turned into the local university 'think tank' department. Such a shsme as it once made good programming. Why the government dont sell it off is beyond me.

Toy MP claiming there is no money again after wishy Sunak find 75 million for defence yesterday

38:25 this flippin' guy knows. There's far too little collaboration between the parties. While they disagree on many issues, they agree on many things and yet they RARELY work together. This is how you can tell a career politician from someone who wants to improve their country and the lives of it's citizens. Career politicians refuse to collaborate.

Reform....vile

Bye bye blue

The building of council housing is down to councils! For example, Cheshire East has none - and then householders still have to pay very high council tax. To keep letting in migrants on the scale it is at now is ridiculous. Out of this lot I must say, the Reclaim man makes the most sense and seems to be the most genuine.

If you want an un vetted immigrant as your neighbour. Vote labour

Thanks for posting

they keep saying we need more housing they are forgetting the elephant in the room {mass immigration}

Why does the people's can't go to work and sold their familie's problum?. They want everything's free from this country.

“sick of these legacy parties” yes thats why im voting green mate, because they are some of the most sensible people in politics and you look a little insane

How can anyone defend the Tories? What they have done for the last 14 years? It's common b****** sense.😡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You seem to restict Ellie Chowns' speaking

Lee Rowley did well imo

UK should vote for the workers party

RIP UK

I think her with the pink suit in should for pm she talks more sense and seems to know how to deal with money unlike these idiots

Use your vote WISELY people! Look at the state of the country in its past years..😮

My grandsons sitting at home because he cant get help ,he has speacil needs but refused ehcp at college twice now no help no nothing its ridiculous ive tried every avenue i need help.

Freaking farce... 🤣🤣😂

Dear oh dear

So Labour don't care about what we think, the Tory is in denial and the Greens are weeding in the garden. Lib Dems, what did she say and Reform is sacking candidates for jokes about Scotland. Who shall I vote for?

Just don’t feel safe under the tories. Feeling scared and stressed is not a feeling to be living with in U.K. 2024? It felt better in the 1960’s and even during the70,s or 80’s. What’s gone wrong? Why do the tories keep lying?

Well in Peterborough they put in raised curbs at bus stops for the council run bus service weeks later they stopped the bus services did anyone get the sack I wonder

Why don't you see a poor tory 🤔.

We are trying to achieve...😂

Five main parties that do what the WEF tell them to do.

Sound ❓
