Let's see: Tories have been in power for 14 years, have an 80-seat majority, and have taken trillions without any investment into the UK, so yeah, they are not feeling better off. Have a look at the food banks alone.
The Tories are toast, Marina has obviously done her homework and I basically agree with everything she has said. Typical tory tax cuts bribes coning (that old chestnut) in one last throw of the dice. I am 64 years old and lived through both labour and tory governments but can honestly say that I have never seen the country go down as fast over the last 5-10 years.
God, that last caller was an absolute bellend. Marina Purkiss, absolutely spot on as usual. That tory MP wasn't quite as insufferable, arrogant as dishonest as most seem to be. I bet her voting record would be interesting though.
Stop trying to rewrite history, the personal allowance was a Lib dem initiative not Tory, according to Nick Clegg Cameron told him you can have free tuition or a 10k personal allowance but you can't have both, Clegg said he chose the personal allowance because he thought more people would benefit from it.
Austerity! Wages were kept to low for to long. The New minimum wage is NOT enough to secure a roof over our heads a single person could not afford a home of their own.
There has been a massive shift in wealth to people already rich. They buy up assets, because they are wealthy, they keep house prices artificially high, that no one on basic income can't afford to buy a home. This always happens when the Tories are in power.
“Cost of living crisis”. There are companies making record profits off the back of it all, that’s not a cost of living crisis, that’s a profiteering crisis. Same companies taking advantage of universal credit topping up the poverty wages they get away with paying.
We know very well that Labour people they never wanted to work. And also Tories gave money to sell employed people some of them run away without paying
9:23 Why is Storm saying what she "supposes" the government's 'argument' would be, when she has a sitting member of the governing party sat there, on her panel? How would Storm Huntley know what the government's defence of things are?
Thinking of a country's finances as a credit card speaks to how Ms Davison fails to understand economics completely. She probably shouldn't be commenting given that level of comprehension.
The right to buy isn’t the issue, councils repeatedly allow developers to build on their land and only give 1% to the council or make 1% “reasonable rent” we’ve had hundreds of thousands of homes built, however a lot of those are sold often years before their made or rented at 4 x the level of council rents. There should be a major buy back of homes not in regular use/being left into disrepair. Their should be a stop to allowing companies to build on council land and instead council built and council used houses made. Often the schemes available to buy a council home are the only way people will ever own, either paying monthly with rent or in portions. Taking that away just makes it a bigger divide
We won’t get better people in the seats who care about the average person until the system is changed. Currently there’s no minimum expectation of service for a pm as there isn’t a job description. There’s no complaints system if there not supporting the will of the people and so on until that’s changed then we will forever be in a cycle of. There should be implications if the manifestos aren’t met, if people aren’t able to get their voices herd there should be a more direct process ( not every mp takes forward issues from constituents)
Tories screwing the very people who voted for them 😂😂😂😂
they do, every time

EVERYTIME TORIES LEAVE POWER THEY MAKE IT HARDER FOR LABOUR TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO LIKE BUILDING HOUSES
💯💯

Marina, you are my hero!
Love her podcast too.
Me too

I think she's just as dishonest. She just looks innocent and knows when to drop her t's, to sound a bit more 'normal'.
Marina slays as usual
I love Marina😂

Sheer pleasure watching and listening to Marina Purkiss's clear-headed, combative analysis
One of the more impressive debates with a pro conservative supporter and Marina. Please have them on more often
Conservative M.P..
Marina for PM !! ;0)
10000 POUNDS DOWN 170 BILLION AIRES BETTER OFF THATS WERE THE MONEY HAS GONE
Austerity! Wages were kept to low for to long. The New minimum wage is NOT enough to secure a roof over our heads a single person could not afford a home of their own.
"Tory trickamonics" 😂 spot on
Did any tories go to prison for lying to the public???
Marina is lovely....
There has been a massive shift in wealth to people already rich. They buy up assets, because they are wealthy, they keep house prices artificially high, that no one on basic income can't afford to buy a home. This always happens when the Tories are in power.
One of the richest countries in the world????? We're in DEPT!!!!
Of course they are.
Naaa Tories have done great. Let’s have more of them eh. Fantastic state they have us in and no way is anything their fault.
Of course they are. Look how much money has been sacked out this country and put in foreign accounts for their mates. It is eye watering.
Love Marina she's so well informed and challenges nonsense brilliantly. So glad she raised the Brexit lies issue.
Not like she always raises the Brexit issue because she cant get over she was on the wrong side of history is it? Oh wait.
“Cost of living crisis”. There are companies making record profits off the back of it all, that’s not a cost of living crisis, that’s a profiteering crisis. Same companies taking advantage of universal credit topping up the poverty wages they get away with paying.
I call it a cost of greed crisis
3200 rich people have left uk since brexit…
Poor Marina, so bitter, rude and deluded if she thinks Labour will do any better.
Vote Reform or you're part of the problem.
Yep. Workers of Britain, vote for your landlords!
They know what you need..
We know very well that Labour people they never wanted to work. And also Tories gave money to sell employed people some of them run away without paying
the woman who always voted Tory doesn't think it's the fault of the Tories
Marina so so good
Of course the Tories are to blame or any other government in power. They are the government they should govern. Simple
these right wing parties should never taste power in any country every again.
White on orange doesnt really work
Elizabeth lives in a bubble
❤MARINA 👏👏👏YOU GO GIRL LOVE YOU 🥰 🎉
Foreign aid builds relationships and power.

Most of it goes to Zelensky and his cronies pockets!!!
