@beatonthedonisI think you should more properly condemn the shenanigans of some of the biggest names in banking, including hedge fund managers or investors like Rishi Sunak. One of the most knowledgeable and senior financial bods from the US and who at one time was associated with the Bank of England, actually lauded what Gordon Brown did prior to and post the financial crash, and did not try to blame him for things beyond his control. The film The Big Short is an excellent precis of who was really behind the global crash. Brown actually helped to prevent the UK from being even more damaged financially.
I don't know man, Labour are saying there's a £22bn black hole, the Tories are saying there isn't one. If by "full cooperation" you mean that the MSM is just reporting what both sides are saying then yeah, there is "full cooperation". Tories did a good job pushing a certain narrative in the years after 2008, Labour didn't really push back much. MSM reported what each side was saying at the time too. I think you're seeing something that isn't there.
The Tory MP tried to make it about 'politics', while the OBR guy was clear: the Tories didn't tell us about the financial commitments because they are snidey.
Any Tory talking about anyone's credibility is a bit rich. God i loathe them and what they have done to this country. It can be avoided if we keep the Tories out. Does he forget it was them that didn't declare that huge black hole they left?. Give me a break.
JamesBot - Labour - 2010 the United Kingdom in the RED £900 Billion. Conservatives - July 2024. The United Kingdom £2.7 Trillion in the RED 14 Year's of Incompetence. Fiscally.
@@macayers For that information you should read the report of the review conducted by OBR. Exactly the document being talked about in this video clip.
Currency issuing governments like the UK cannot have financial black holes. The money is infinite and taxation does not fund government spending. Nothing needs to be plugged and taxes don't need to be raised, provided the economy has enough unutilised resources to absorb the spending which isn't being subsequently cancelled by taxation.
@@clementattlee6984so why did we have a debt and sterling crisis under Liz Truss? No wonder things are so bad when the Tory voters are so illiterate. Keep printing money your currency ends up being junk and inflations leads to a loaf of bread costing £1 million.
Tory boink - How would you suggest the OBR isn't drawn into political rows about "fiscal black holes." OBR - Well, it would help if the Tory Ministers didn't lie about there not being one.
"isn't it a shame our mismanagement of the economy then illegally lying about to an independent body appointed to oversee our management of the economy has become a political issue used to make us look bad?" NO
And if you didn't notice, the tory liar says that the obr was "vilified" and "it was regrettable," and then continues to blame the obr, because it's NEVER their fault. Why in fuck are any tories even on this committee? They should be nowhere near it.
Hunt's reputation, never particularly robust, is now shattered. Won't make much difference as they dont 'do' either embarrassment or regret... And the public remsin blissfully unaware... (As usual)
Bottom line , Jeremy hunt fiddled the books to gain an advantage in the GE, lost, got caught out and tried to lie his way out of it , standard MO for the Conservatives for the past 13 years .
Please ignore the ByJimineeItsBREXIT-z2k it's either a Russian bot or a troll, if you read the budget the black hole hasn't increased its being filled but unfortunately this has resulted in the UK being unable to fund certain policies and the increases such as the employer NI. The.black hole hasn't increaed
"Regrettable that you've (the OBR) have been sucked into this political black hole?" 🤣 What's regrettable is that the nation suffered a corrupt Tory government black hole for 14 years before we saw the light, matey
Methinks he (the MP) doth protest to much (and is attempting to count how many angels can dance on a pin head...). _Just admit you screwed up, puh-leez!_
The OBR is an essential safeguard and a legal obligation. Truss ignored them costing us all billions and Sunak’s ministers do appear to be not forthcoming with information they should have disclosed. Then for Hunt to have the brass neck to say there was no black hole and there would be a large surplus shows Tory party first economy second.
Trust inn politicians has collapsed amongst the general population so when I hear Richard describing the interaction between OBR officials and Treasury officials being based on trust instead of "trust with verification" which apparently will be the case going forward, I'm wondering why "trust with verification" wasn't the common-sense rule in the first place. Politics is riddled with psychopaths and the self-interested so it would seem to me that allowing an arrangement of trust amongst oversight bodies is a contradiction in terms. Oversight bodies should not trust those they overlook, they should mistrust and measure and verify as the default rule as an entity with oversight powers and responsibility.
Yep. Boris, Rishi and co ripped at the threads of our democracy, judiciary, law and other institutions because they know it's all built on the 'good old chaps' mentality. So being bad faith actors they were able to exploit a system that hadn't even bothered to think about guard rails.
And consider that a lesson learned. Tories will never be trusted again, but at the same time, I don't have an issue with the OBR holding the treasury under Labour to account, unlike they did with the Tories in the past.
tory waffle, trying to deflect but actually not doing the right thing - admit they left a massive defecit in the treasury and failed to tell anyone. Then they got caught and still they're avoiding what they should really do, which is admit they lied.
Its worth noting that at no point have Torys disputed the fact they over spent the budget. So the black hole is totally there and undisputed. The only dispute is whether they knew in advance and whether they deliberately mislead the OBR. Its a question of being incompetent or being liars
Sounds more like a reasonable discussion on what went wrong than a 'schooling'. It would be good to know why the treasury failed to disclose the pressure on budgets to the OBR. Was there an attempt to hide the truth?
If the black hole exists why spend £11b on Africa and £8.6b with Ed Milliband? Wouldn’t you hold off on this extra expenditure when you have a gap to fill in the budget? Seems we have still spent money whilst acknowledging there is a gap in the finances. If this was a business you would say it is reckless, at best
I think if you agree with the Tories about budget management, then you should not make suggestions about what anyone else should do. This clip shows that to be true. It may well be that the investment in green energy SAVES THE PLANET. It is an economic fact that the cost of doing nothing will be far higher in the future than the cost of doing things now to help the climate. Maybe the investment in Africa pays back elsewhere, I don’t know, but what I do know is that they haven’t done it without carefully considering the costs and all benefits. They will have information that you and I don’t have. Also, they aren’t hiding the expenditure from you and me.
OK fine, but this still doesn't change the fact that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and only 3.5 million people in Uruguay, which means that if the Australian kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person would have to fight 14 kangaroos.
bet the tories regret having that question asked. "So yes they lied and it might have been against the law and policy... Don't trust the tories." Believing the conservatives has led to the old Russian saying "Trust... But verify."
Like Labour in opposition, they occasionally came up with correct criticisms of the Tory government. It seems that the Tories are correct. Much as it may pain me to say so.
With all this 'politic speak' I have difficulty sometimes understanding what is actually being said. I;m sure others are just as frustrated as I am - why the hell can they not speak in ordinary everyday English? This politic speak thing allows a person to disguise the true import of what they say, and the Tories are past masters at it - the favourite one is "I may have misled the house" - this is just politic speak for "I've been telling porkies".
I don't support anybody but I do know this the last time the labour party was in government, they left the Tory Party 159 billion in debt. Can you tell me which is worse?🤔
Does the DMO assess every instance of deficit spending and only issue gilts if that spending can be proven to be inflationary? Or does it issue gilts regardless of if that deficit spending is inflationary or not?
If we withdraw our land sea and air forces from the Israeli theatre we will recover the £40 billion by the end of the year. Why is our tax money being spent on Israel’s defence whilst it is breaking international law?
A seriously misleading title. There is no "schooling" going on here. A select committee MP asks an intelligent question about a breakdown in communication between the Treasury and OBR. Leading to a deterioration in trust and a need for improved verification procedures. It's dry, technical and deceptively important. And we've got £9.5bn of departmental spending pressures not disclosed. That leaves £12.5bn to go before we get to the £22bn black hole, including discretionary decisions made by the new government. This is a serious, illuminating exchange and highlights governance deficiencies.
Hardly a ticking off but why let that spoil a headline opportunity. Meanwhile, a week on from the disastrous budget the pound is at an 18 month low and Gilts over 4.5% - which by any normal measure would be resignation territory or even new Government. For context Truss got that to 4.38%. Nothing about this anywhere!?
Although you are not accustomed to the truth the OBR hasnever confirmed that there is a 'black hole' of £22billion. I suggest that you read their report together with that of the IFS.
Nope. The OBR confirmed a 9 billion black hole and the IFS confirmed that Conservative spending pledges added another 10 Billion. The problem with the Conservatives is the country has finally realised that making promises with a push voice is not actually delivery of policy with hard cash. 40 ‘New’ Hospitals anybody?
No mate, what was “regrettable” was that your party’s chancellor & spads lied through teeth in the vain attempt to buy an election, or if that failed, (which most of them knew it would) stitch the future government up, by making it impossible for them to meet their manifesto commitments. So regrettable that you failed to even achieve that! Finally, the most “regrettable” thing was that the last incarnations of the Tory party was full to the rafters with grifters, chancers and public school idiots, who couldn’t manage the proverbial piss-up in a brewery let alone govern our nation.
I must correct you 😜 party gate - a piss up not set in a brewery and defended on DAY ONE by miss Bad Enough saying it was only party staffers........hmmmm 2 MPs convicted and fined...... One was Boris..... The cleaner lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Tory=liar. Simples 👍
Could have done without the clickbaity title? Pretty civilised debate and exchange of insights here. A tory apologising for his sides politicking... genuinely trying to find out how the OBR functions, in a committee whose job it is to grill the OBR.
The 9 billion is the figure confirmed as existing by the OBR. The 22 billion is the figure if you factor in the previous government's proposed / promised spending plans moving forward. At least that is how I understand it. Both things can be true at once.
wait a minute....you cant blame the elected government on the mistakes made an bi-partisan organization like OBR which are frequently wrong on their forecasting and are not really held to account when are relying on in-accurate data from bi-partisan HM Treasury. What should happen is HM Treasury seems to have been unforthcoming with the data and deserved to be kicked badly.
The OBR didn't make a mistake - other than trusting the Tories (the public know better). They were lied to, making their report meaningless and misleading. And the Tories then used it to pretend everything was fine when they knew it wasn't. It's fraud. I just don't think anyone can be prosecuted for it unfortunately.
I smell plausible bullshit you are spreading. It’s as if Jeremy Hunt has been airbrushed out of all responsibility for asking the treasury to supply the figures Hunt set the parameters for. Nobody believes the Conservatives didn’t lie.
The 22 billion is the 9 billion spent plus the 11 billion for the blood scandal and 1 billion for the Horizon scandal. In addition to these you have the pay rises for the young doctors etc.
reeves said that 22b is the black hole obr described PLUS all the money that's still owed due to the contaminated blood and royal mail scandals that Tories delayed.
@@karlclark8625 And the scandal and pay rises were things the Tories intentionally and ideologically refused to pay for years, so they could pretend the economy was better than it was and then try to hang it around Labour's neck and blame them. They've been exposed this time for once. Also, remember strikes cost more than pay rises because you have to pay a premium for less able agency staff & destroy morale of the real workforce (both lowering productivity) + the wider economy takes a hit in terms of spending, investor confidence, etc.
It wasn't £22 billion. It was only £9 billion that we hid from the public. Ah, that's alright then. Those cheeky scamps at Labour trying to make you look bad...
Labour paid the recommendations of the independent pay review bodies. These future costs were a known future cost, but the Tories left them for signature after the election. Add the compensation for bad blood, post office etc, and shortfall heads towards £40, billion.

And we've got £9.5bn of departmental spending pressures not disclosed. That leaves £12.5bn to go before we get to the £22bn black hole, including discretionary decisions made by the new government. This is a serious, illuminating exchange and highlights governance deficiencies.
Obsequious toads licking each others wounds.
Where is the missing cash?
Like evertonians asking bill kenwright where's the arteta money bill when he was sold to arsenal And he reminded silent for years never did find out
in tory pockets as usual
Do you believe the OBR anymore?
Hardly a ticking off but why let that spoil a headline opportunity.
Meanwhile, a week on from the disastrous budget the pound is at an 18 month low and Gilts over 4.5% - which by any normal measure would be resignation territory or even new Government. For context Truss got that to 4.38%. Nothing about this anywhere!?
Although you are not accustomed to the truth the OBR hasnever confirmed that there is a 'black hole' of £22billion. I suggest that you read their report together with that of the IFS.
Nope. The OBR confirmed a 9 billion black hole and the IFS confirmed that Conservative spending pledges added another 10 Billion.
The problem with the Conservatives is the country has finally realised that making promises with a push voice is not actually delivery of policy with hard cash.
40 ‘New’ Hospitals anybody?
@@johnhoulihan4000I bet you none of that 10b was going to be spent on new hospitals. Randox anyone?
No mate, what was “regrettable” was that your party’s chancellor & spads lied through teeth in the vain attempt to buy an election, or if that failed, (which most of them knew it would) stitch the future government up, by making it impossible for them to meet their manifesto commitments. So regrettable that you failed to even achieve that!
Finally, the most “regrettable” thing was that the last incarnations of the Tory party was full to the rafters with grifters, chancers and public school idiots, who couldn’t manage the proverbial piss-up in a brewery let alone govern our nation.
I must correct you 😜 party gate - a piss up not set in a brewery and defended on DAY ONE by miss Bad Enough saying it was only party staffers........hmmmm 2 MPs convicted and fined...... One was Boris..... The cleaner lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Tory=liar. Simples 👍
Could have done without the clickbaity title? Pretty civilised debate and exchange of insights here. A tory apologising for his sides politicking... genuinely trying to find out how the OBR functions, in a committee whose job it is to grill the OBR.
i didn't hear an apology, just more lies
??????
Reeves clearly a fantasist when £9B escalate to £20B, and she's good at it, plus lying. OBR clearly rattled, something for which Truss had no regard.
I am confused regarding 22 Billion Pounds black hole who to be trust the OBR boss ? or the Tory ? or the Labour ?
The 9 billion is the figure confirmed as existing by the OBR. The 22 billion is the figure if you factor in the previous government's proposed / promised spending plans moving forward. At least that is how I understand it. Both things can be true at once.
Just made up bs
wait a minute....you cant blame the elected government on the mistakes made an bi-partisan organization like OBR which are frequently wrong on their forecasting and are not really held to account when are relying on in-accurate data from bi-partisan HM Treasury. What should happen is HM Treasury seems to have been unforthcoming with the data and deserved to be kicked badly.
The OBR didn't make a mistake - other than trusting the Tories (the public know better). They were lied to, making their report meaningless and misleading. And the Tories then used it to pretend everything was fine when they knew it wasn't. It's fraud. I just don't think anyone can be prosecuted for it unfortunately.
I smell plausible bullshit you are spreading.
It’s as if Jeremy Hunt has been airbrushed out of all responsibility for asking the treasury to supply the figures Hunt set the parameters for.
Nobody believes the Conservatives didn’t lie.
I still haven’t heard anything about the 22B or anything close to it though 🤣 so I look forward to underhand that 🤣
The 22 billion is the 9 billion spent plus the 11 billion for the blood scandal and 1 billion for the Horizon scandal. In addition to these you have the pay rises for the young doctors etc.
reeves said that 22b is the black hole obr described PLUS all the money that's still owed due to the contaminated blood and royal mail scandals that Tories delayed.
@@karlclark8625 And the scandal and pay rises were things the Tories intentionally and ideologically refused to pay for years, so they could pretend the economy was better than it was and then try to hang it around Labour's neck and blame them. They've been exposed this time for once.
Also, remember strikes cost more than pay rises because you have to pay a premium for less able agency staff & destroy morale of the real workforce (both lowering productivity) + the wider economy takes a hit in terms of spending, investor confidence, etc.
Trying to shift the light from Labours pathetic attempt in Government.
So it was 9.5 Bil...not the 22 Bil that Reeves has been going on about.
Only 9.5 billion? That’s okay then.
It’s only a couple of percent on employers NICs and not double that.
It wasn't £22 billion. It was only £9 billion that we hid from the public.
Ah, that's alright then. Those cheeky scamps at Labour trying to make you look bad...
Isn’t £9 billion neither here nor there? Even £22 billion compared to annual expenditure of £1.2 trillion odd?
Black hole is currently £80B! ,,,put there by Labour....carbon capture and now HS2 to Crewe.
It _can't_ be a black hole because, by definition, you know about it, hence no blackness...
AS A TORY WITH A SMALL C, If the French can build high speed railways, for one tenth of the price, QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED, SIMPLES.
What about the billions wasted by the scum tories refusing to negotiate with trades unions? Stop talking shite man.
@@CatholicSatanThat's to simple for these blue rinsed Tories to understand.
Badenough has admitted the Tories lied, but they won't admit it!!
9 billion accounted for, what about the other 11 billion or was that spent by Labour on Union pay rises, so the lied.
🤣 You’re still trying to blame Labour for the 14 years of Tory mismanagement. 😉🤭🤣 You’re about as royal as a Nigerian Prince scammer. 🤭🤣🤣
Labour paid the recommendations of the independent pay review bodies.
These future costs were a known future cost, but the Tories left them for signature after the election.
Add the compensation for bad blood, post office etc, and shortfall heads towards £40, billion.
Don't be silly
@@indianprince6492 🤣 Why did you delete my comment, you blag Indian Prince? 🤣🤣 How can you still be blaming a 3 month old government, for the last 14 years of the he previous government, you scammer? 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣 Just answer the question, instead of deleting the comment again? 😉
@@soulcrewblue8629Don't be silly?!
Even when it's explained to you, you deny it! 😂
I don't think the OBR can 'school' anyone can they? The OBR forecasts are always wrong without exception.
You're missing the point of forecasts. All models are wrong, but some are useful.
adjustments are made to avoid bad forecasts from materialising, that is the point of them .
@John181111 useful to back up a lie. Remainers keep quoting OBR forecasts to backup their misinformation
