PM Boris faces a big rebellion. Now, this headline is on the BBC News website. PM faces big rebellion from his own party. This is not from entrepreneurs or, uh, people in the mainstream just trying to get by. This is his own party. So there's been 2 or 3 very interesting, to me quite shocking developments that have happened. I think it's really important to talk about. I'm going to bang the same drum about protecting small businesses. Okay, so today MPs will vote around 3 main COVID legislation, and apparently it's expected that 70 Conservatives will rebel and vote against the measures the PM has put in. Of course, they can put in measures in states of emergency before they're voted in. So the Prime Minister has defended his Plan B as balanced and proportionate, you know, wearing masks in most places, needing a COVID pass in many social environments. But it looks like about 70 of the MPs, which is up to one-third possibly, um, of all votes are going to rebel against the PM. But the measures are likely to pass because Labour are likely to vote in favor. So the world is going crazy inside politics and outside in the real world. Now I need to— I wasn't going to do a video on this. This quite shocked me, what I'm about to tell you. Please hit the share button now because I find this quite shocking. There's a big decentralization of media and power going on right now. You know, many of you get your news from me and people on social media who maybe you perceive don't have as much of an ulterior motive. Now, um, there was a headline yesterday, uh, and this was quoted from the PM, though I didn't see the PM say this, but it said at least one person in the UK has died with the Omicron variant. And that shocked me, because if the person had died from or of the Omicron variant, would they not have said the person has died from or of the Omicron variant? Instead, the language that was used was one person has now died with the Omicron variant, which could probably mean that person didn't die of or from the Omicron variant. Now, that in and of itself is whatever, but that was the headline on the BBC News website. And if that is not fear-mongering and propaganda and coercion and control Slight of language, maybe. Maybe that's a bit over the top to say. Maybe just slight of language. But it seems to be there's this massive PR campaign to get the entire country jabbed. Get boosted now! Get boosted now! Get boosted now! This was the, um, soundbite rhetoric from Boris's update when he told us about the, you know, the rollout of 18 million people as a goal to be boosted in 3 weeks. The military deployed to help. Um, the hospitals overrun, the NHS website crashed, hundreds of thousands of people trying to book their booster jabs. He even said, the Prime Minister, many appointments might have to be cancelled or postponed, including cancer. So, uh, right, by the way, do you know there's quite a lot of protests going on in London about this? But have you ever actually seen it in the media? Because you see on the BBC News main website, PM faces big rebellion in Commons COVID vote. You see in the mainstream media, first person dies with Omicron. But you don't see anything, anything about all the protests that are going on in London. And I follow a good friend of mine, Dan Astin-Gregory, And it seems every week they're going and they're protesting. Why are we not getting balanced media? I am not— I'm such an idiot. Did you hear what I just said? Why are we not getting balanced media? I mean, that was a very naive comment by me, but I believe we should be getting more balanced media. If we had more balanced media, then we'd probably trust more. Okay, so there's a House of Commons debate happening today. The three main things that are being debated are new rules on face masks, coverings, allowing, um, the vaccinated people to essentially have a COVID pass with a lateral flow test, and therefore not allowing those without them to have access to many social events or large-scale events or retail or wherever. And then the introduction of this COVID pass, this vaccine passport, which I think a lot of people feared for, you know, maybe their liberty or freedom. Now Boris has said that the measures are balanced and proportionate and there's no room for complacency. Now to be fair, if then this ends up having the ability to kill a load of people, then maybe you say fair enough. And no matter what Boris decides, he's going to get— people are going to be pissed off no matter what he does. But where's the help for the small business? Where's the reduction in taxes? Where's the increased assistance? In strategy and sales and marketing and employment? Where's the assistance with paying the staff? Where's the recovery of all the loss of business over Christmas? Where is all this? Because none of it I've seen. And if you've seen any of it, let me know. Um, I, I was in touch with Rishi last year. He said he'd come on the podcast. Now his PA's given me a bit of a pushback, but I'd really love to Discuss this with Rishi if any of you want to send them a message on my behalf and tell him to come on, because we need a discussion around what we're going to do to save businesses. VAT's still the same. Income tax has gone up. Corp tax has gone up. VAT, National Insurance has gone up, employers and employees. Business rates haven't been removed. VAT hasn't been reduced yet. Cost of living is way up. Inflation is way up. Our ability to earn is way down. Supply chain restricted. Cost of all goods and services and cost of living. Way up. What are they doing to help? You must help, otherwise small businesses across the country are gonna go under. That's going to kill the economy. Oh, by the way, I have Nigel Farage agreed to come on the podcast. He believes that working from home is fundamentally really wrong and really bad for the economy and really bad for productivity. He says all those coffee shops and lunch vans and everything lose all their trade in lockdown. or work from home, and that's a killer for the economy to the tune of billions. So Nigel Farage has agreed to come on the podcast. Let me know what you think about that. Trying to get Rishi on the podcast, let me know what you think about that. All right, so please hit the share button and please let me know what you think in the comments should be done about what's going on in the world right now to protect the small business, to protect the people. Is this proportionate and balanced in terms of pretty much, you know, increased rules on masks, lack of ability to go anywhere without a mask or a triple booster jab? Let me know what you think about this. So quick update, hit the share button. You know, some people say, oh, Rob, you keep saying hit the share button, you say it 4 or 5 times a video. Yeah, because we've got to stand up and speak out. We've got to be heard. I think a video like this is going to do more than writing to the MP. My wife actually wrote to our MP, not heard back yet. It's not been that long, I'll give them that, but let's see if we hear back. But some of my videos are getting hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million views, so actually sharing this and getting it across social media is probably as good a job as anything. It's probably as good as getting 10,000 signatures. Now I have sympathy that running the country like this must be really hard, and they don't have any money and they don't have an an NHS fit for purpose. So look, you know, I want a balanced discussion on solutions. So quick summary: PM Boris faces big rebellion, a BBC News headline, from his own party. Um, there's going to be a debate in the House of Commons today, and it looks like 70, around about one-third of the votes of, um, the MPs are going to rebel against Boris. This will be the biggest rebellion Boris has ever received in Parliament. But the reason the measures are still likely to pass is because Labour— ironically, Labour are likely to vote in his favor. Uh, what do you think about all this? Let me know in the comments. One thing that really shocked me was that the PM said, quoted by the BBC, so just take that in context, that the first one person— the first person has died with COVID And to me, that's spin. That is manipulation through technicalities in language, because dying with COVID and dying from or of COVID are two completely different things. Yet that's the mainstream headline. That's the thing that's putting the fear into a lot of people. But none of the protests, etc., none of that is getting, um, in the media. So it's control and it's unbalanced media. And then of course, of course it is. And I realize how naive a statement that is. But why can't we push for more balanced media? Right, so yeah, the NHS website crashed and, um, it's all kicking off here in the UK. So let me know what you think. I'll have a chat in the comments with you. Um, let me know what you'd like me to ask Nigel Farage, as we've got it agreed, though the date isn't confirmed, at some time in the new year. Let me know if you think I should get Rishi on the podcast and if there's, um, anything that you could do to maybe help that. I've been in contact with him, it's been agreed in principle, but now it's getting difficult to get. Um, and yeah, big rebellion today apparently from the PM, uh, from his own party when they vote in the House of Commons around all these new legislations of mask coverings virtually everywhere, um, the lack of, uh, social, um, access to many events, um, or the need for you to have essentially a COVID pass or proof of a negative test or whatever. Um, so let me know what you think, and let me know what you think about the media and the narrative. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate you. And remember, we save the small business. What was it Boris said? Get boosted now. Get boosted now. All right, then this is what Rob Moore says. Save the small business. Save the small business. Save the small business. Working from home will not save the small business. Making restrictions for people to be able to go out and shop and eat and socialize will not save small business. Increasing taxes every which way will not save small businesses. Massive increase in cost of living and pricing will not save small business. What are you gonna do, Conservatives? PM Boris, Rishi, what are you gonna do to help small businesses? Because this is a massive part of the economy. Where do you get most of your tax revenue from that you spend £4 billion on an app? From small businesses. You don't want employment to go dramatically up, that's going to cost you billions. What's going to stop a massive increase in unemployment. Successful small businesses. Save the small business. Hit the share button. Let's get in the comments. Let me know what you think of all this shenanigans. Today, the PM Boris Johnson faces big rebellion from his own party. Up to a third are likely to vote against him, but Labour are likely to save him and his new rules, which he says are proportionate and balanced. And there's no room for complacency. Let's get this message out. Sharing this content on social media, creating your own content and your own thoughts on it, probably going to be better than 10 or 100,000 signatures. Which, let's be honest, writing to the MP and getting thousands of signatures, does that ever really get anywhere? All right, thanks everyone. I'll see you on the other side. And remember this: if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
