Summary
Has Starmer got balls? Has any politician?
#KeirStarmer #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #PoliticalCourage #WestminsterWatch #LeadershipCrisis
Kemi Badenoch straight-up told Keir Starmer he’s got no balls — in Parliament. Savage. But is she wrong? Honestly, do any politicians have the guts to actually do what people want anymore? Or is it all just safe speeches, focus groups, and vibes?
In this video, Jon Gaunt is digging into: 🔥 What Kemi actually said. 👀 Why Starmer keeps dodging bold moves 🤷♂️ Whether anyone in politics still has a spine?
Let’s be real — politics is feeling more like theatre than leadership lately. So who’s faking it, and who’s actually standing for something? “‘No balls’ – brutal but kinda fair? 👀 What’s your take: is anyone in Westminster actually brave enough to do something unpopular but right?”
Drop your thoughts in the comments — who (if anyone) has the guts to shake things up?

| 0:00.0 | Hi, good afternoon and welcome to the John Gorn podcast. |
| 0:05.9 | Today, Keir Stama, he hasn't got any balls. |
| 0:10.1 | Not me saying that, not me being rude. |
| 0:12.3 | This is what Kemi said, the leader of the opposition yesterday. |
| 0:17.5 | She's clearly got some. |
| 0:18.7 | But she said this in Parliament, in Parliament yesterday, |
| 0:22.9 | and it's caused a bit of a storm. So here we go. Kemmy Badenock stood up in Parliament and |
| 0:30.2 | basically said, Keir Starmer, you've got no balls. Yep. She actually said it, and that was the language she used. |
| 0:39.6 | So it's on the record. |
| 0:41.6 | So no one can be offended by it because, and well, some people who tried to be today, |
| 0:45.9 | said it was unparliamentary language. |
| 0:48.2 | Listen, I'd rather our politician effed and blinded and actually told the truth |
| 0:53.4 | than what we've got at the moment. |
| 0:56.3 | And I think, and you'd know this anyway, that she's making a valid point about Keir Stama. |
| 1:01.8 | He decides everything by focus group, or indeed, by, I don't know, waiting to see which way the wind's going. |
| 1:10.2 | However, he's not the only one. |
| 1:13.7 | And this is the real question, isn't it? |
| 1:16.5 | It's not just Starma. |
| 1:18.6 | Has anyone in British politics got the guts to actually say something real and back it up and not care whether they're popular or not. |
| 1:33.7 | I'm going to tell you later about when I wrote for the Sun and how we could almost, |
| 1:37.9 | I certainly could, almost dictate what that buffoon, Alistair, would do and Tony Blair. |
| 1:44.8 | And the same with Cameron, that you could somehow, by saying the right thing |
