- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2024
- Former prime minister Gordon Brown explains to Sophy Ridge how we are living through a child poverty emergency, with this year being one of the worst ever.
Low income families are living with "multiple deprivations" Mr Brown says, having living through austerity and now facing sanctions under Universal Credit, a cap on benefits and the limit of two children under child benefit.

The whole country is falling apart.
Poverty for families across the UK, the Govt is a shambles
Poverty for families across the UK isnt new, and thats the sad thing. What is new now is the middle classes are getting hit.
They should have made better life choices then.

I came back after living abroad for 7 years. It's an absolute shithole of a country that's been run into the ground and completely forgotten about. Everything old and falling Nothing nice. I Wish I had just stayed put and got another passport.

What ended the last great age of inequality and social deprivation in Britain? It was fairer taxes, taxes on wealth, stronger unions and collective public action to ensure all workers and citizens were paid fairly and taken care of.
It’s not rocket science what policies we need again. Neo-liberal economics ie Thatcher/Reaganism has got to go.
Brown’s system of tax credits hasn’t worked, has it? Higher wages are what’s needed.
@@aleph8888 Yeah, So form a union in your workplace and demand more money.
When did this socialist Nirvana exist? I remember labour taxing the poor at 33%. Thatcher ended that.

DWP the biggest debt collector in the land.
Gordon is spot on.
Gordon Brown is being very 'diplomatic' in regards to the current Labour leadership. But I suspect that privately, he's less than impressed with Starmer & Co. Sophie Ridge rightly to points out that the money needed to help the poor will have to come from *somewhere.* There is only one possibility - namely, to impose PROPER taxation on large and multinational companies. This is what Starmer and Reeves SHOULD do but are REFUSING to do. Oh dear...

Blair will be everywhere. Just wait and see.

This year everything is going up again and it won’t stop
Correct. Lowering inflation only means the price of things still go up, only slower.
Deflation is what's needed, but will corporations forgo profits? NOPE.
Because something something, grow the economy whilst no tax is paid by these greedy assholes, something - we all nod.

Let it go up so I can laugh at the peasants that can’t afford.
There’s so much money out there I don’t understand how people are skint I’ve got money from 3 years ago I haven’t touched
Maybe he should have stopped the property prices going insane when he had 13 years in positions of authority
He steadied the banks and stopped alot although he is responsible for selling our gold for dirty cheap prices. But I don't think we can blame house prices on him.
I could have moved around the corner to a detached for an extra 25K on the mortgage, two years of that %&*t took power and I needed an extra 120K, 4 times what I paid for the original house in 1987. Labour have always been the inflation party, so the Tories are going the same way.
@@jennim282 unchecked capitalism is producing extreme inequality, it seems like we need the right level of government regulation to keep homes in reach of average people
The answer to poverty with people in work is not more benefits, it's a higher minimum wage, otherwise we have corporate socialism with publicly subsidised labour to allow for greater private profits.
Agree much higher wages.
Poor England,my goodness worse than the turn of the century.😢❤
Poor Britain! England is just a separate part there is the rest. Steelworks are going in Wales. Another sector going is a bad thing.Things are dire meantime and Tories find it amusing most of the time or simply just deny everything.
Bailed out the "too bigs to fail" then, since 2008 printed money and IOUs and dished the money out to the banks at near ZERO % interest rates,...i.e. FREE MONEY over the last 15 years.
This resulted in a massive increase in DEBT and paper IOUs as well as a huge rise in asset prices like Stocks and Shares and Properties, rents etc.
Some got stinking rich whilst most were stuck in a rut going nowhere fast.
The World is now awash with DEBT and PAPER IOUs (Bonds) to such an extent that they exceed the value of all the Stocks and shares on the planet.
This is fine, another great depressio avoided, but what about that mountain of DEBT.?
OK if payemnts met, but it is increasingly obvious that many people and businesses cannot service their debts.
To keep this going and to prevent anoher recession, more money printing is essential....Money from thin air as it were in exchange for paper IOUs.....Is this like the game of monopoly where to keep the game going the "banker" must dish out the funny money?
The thing about monoploly is the winners get fewer and fewer whilst the losers increase in number....The divide between the rich and the growing number of poor increases by the day.
Not really socialism in action is it...more like unfettered capitalism heading towards another great depression.
I do hope not, but the signs are staring us in the face...
Your far to clever for these people. Unfortunately nobody else will understand the reality of the whole thing. Most still believe the new labour party is for the common man and the torys are for the rich what they dont understand is politicians only work for themselves.

Benefits need an overhaul like the nhs. Oh what have the tories done. :(
Housing and energy is biggest factor in poverty. Also massive increase in tobacco which will hit the poorest the most and none of it is justified. Uk should own their own energy production and and we'd then only being paying "market rate" at energy imported. Housing cost largely put up by lack of supply and poor regulation. Supply issues caused by mass migration and poor regulation in terms of planning restrictions and airbnb taking a vast amount of housing.

The UK has never recovered from Gordon Brown and Fred Goodwin's "credit crunch".
Ah yes - that global phenomenon that caused a recession across the entire planet that the Labour Government of the United Kingdom were solely responsible for, who we then put the "fiscally responsible" Conservative Government who withdrew all spending in the country, destroyed the economy because no one could afford to buy anything, whilst every other country invested their way out of problems whilst borrowing was cheap. Meanwhile, the very thing that caused the recession (reckless bankers and unlimited bonuses) has been reinstated by a Conservative Government.
Some people just refuse to educate themselves or face facts.
Oh please, let's deal with real facts in 2010 the UK debt was £1.03 trillion after labour left office. In 2023 UK debt was 2.64 trillion and counting after 14 years of Tories in office.

Mr “PFI “ giving us advice? Abolishing tax relief on pension dividends, flogging a portion of our gold, making the UK tax system unfathomable to all but a few. New Labour were not the Svengali people thought
Totally agree, people need to remember the state of the uk economy when the conservatives came into power. The uk economy was not on its knees until covid hit. Would Labour have paid people to sit at home on 80% of their salary /wages to try and protect their jobs. Or paid out all the cost of living payments this government has paid.fFor 6 months everyone in the country received a cost of living payment and then for the last 12 months every one on benefits or tax credits has received periodic payments thought the year. All this money has to come from somewhere. People have had it too good for too long we now have a big proportion of people with an entitlement attitude. All wanting someone else to pay for their living standards. Things that were classed as luxuries 25 years ago are now seen as essentials Cars, Mobile Phones, wide screen TV, electronic games, computers and tablets, designer cloths.

Its the Don Sir Mr Gordon Brown
Cost of immigrants crisis which started under Labour
He sold half of UK gold reserves during his tenure as chancellor of the exchequer. At the time the price of gold was lowest in modern history. If he had kept that gold in reserve, the UK government would be able to enjoy the highest gold prices today and would be able to fund all sorts of programs for the underprivileged. So he shouldn't be talking about the welfare of the people as his actions contributed massively to the problems the UK are facing now
If the govt wants to help people one of the first things needed is economic growth, and not the BS Liz Truss was after. An improved economy would allow better wages and more government spending.
If he hadn't have sold British Gold reserve's off this wouldn't have happened.
So its only Gordon Brown who knows this then.....

Gordon Brown is a thoroughly decent man. His concern for the poor is palpable. Such politicians are rare in today's world. Rare, and to a great extent, non-existent.
Where was his concern for the poor when he bailed out the rich banker?
@@user-bq9wy9kx3y Your point is a good one, but I cannot comment on that now, because I can't remember the details of the bail out. (It's a good while back.) But if my memory serves me well, it wasn't the bankers that he bailed out so much as the banks themselves. And if it was the banks that he bailed out, he was protecting the savers rather than the bankers. (Though, of course, the bankers would have also benefited from that action.)
@xelakram so basically, he looked after the rich then.

Yes, Brown's crippling £180 billion deficit smashed the economy, costing £1 billion PER WEEK to service that debt from 2008....EVER SINCE!
That's why ''austerity'' was inevitable.
It needed grown-ups in the room to grip the crisis.
No worries, more Tories tax cuts is coming!
sometimes tax cuts help the economy as it boosts savings and investments. The issue here is that the labour policy of QE and ZIRP continued by tories decimated the savings culture. When I save money in a bank, that bank leds it out to businesses to create jobs.
I hear some councils are spending only a quarter of what they spent in the heady days of Gordon's loony left economy, shame it all had to blow up in our faces in 2008. Customers & bank staff had ran off with the money. 😂 happy days. Want a loan pick up the phone , as we must take it on trust.

Well he didn't give us austerity that has done the country untold damage and he didn't triple the national debt.
The only time in my working history i went without work, food, electricity, and lost my home was under Brown. He says he cares about benefits because that's where we'll all end up if he has his way.
He must think we have gold fish memories. 🇬🇧
Your point?
He must know we don't have gold reserves 😅
@@johnd6913 He sold half, we still have some. But he sold half our gold for fiat..how inept.
It's called diversification of assets ...nobody seems to mention the Tories sold of north sea oil and squandered the profits ..they also sold off the gas ,electric and water companies seriously what country sells off it's power and water supply.
@@pip1723 A country that sells its national assets be it gas, electric, gold, water is a country that has no future. This is not a labour vs tories issue, its bad government all round

The Country is a mess . Poor Families are going further and Further into poverty. Families cant afford food. Families can't heat there home . Families cant afford clothes. Families are really suffering. There is Families who are working Full time and still cant afford to make ends meet . This has serious mental health reprocussions . This is an epidemic . This is a crisis . This is extreme . This is due to Tories Failings . The Tories government are shamefull . The Tories are criminal. The Tories dont care about people in poverty. The Tories should donate there Wages to Families in poverty if they have any respect for families. The Tories are out of touch . The Tories are a disgrace
Brown is STILL sticking his oar in?
However, one thing in his favour. He is not QUITE as evil as the monster called Toady Bliar.
Gordon Browne who sold all our Gold for £250 an ounce losing us all Billions ..
Gordon Browne who thought renting hospitals was better than building them and owning them ..
And financed NHS with loan shark like deals.
That’s only one of the things he and Tony did there NWO one world gov commies

Which stopped our entire economy collapsing. People always miss that bit out.

Weasel words political virtue signalling. Cynical to the core. He is just as responsible as the rest. Sick of these politicians who get rich of poor people's backs.
GB is the best PM the UK ever had.
The cost of living crises has been caused by the Ukraine war.
This government has and is giving people money to help.
What did he give people when he destroyed the economy.
