Jeremy Hunt: Rachel Reeves' argument is 'not credible and won't wash'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt has hit back at his successor Rachel Reeves and said she had privileged access to Treasury civil servants from January and could have discovered the £20bn "black hole" which has "magically emerged" since then.
He added: "If you're in charge of the economy, it's time to stop trash talking it. She should stop playing politics with Britain's reputation and get on with running the economy."

Labour lied. Standard.
How so
@@shazoids By reversing what they said.
They all, lie!
She’s lying through her teeth
I'm not a Tory but at least the tories never attacked the helpless pensioners
Of course they didn't (forcing them all to accept charity).
The jobs we have these days are no good.
Funny how she couldn't look him in the eye, eye's down all the time. all a bunch of liars. We deserve better.
Guilt! She should have looked him straight in the eye with conviction. They are lying.
Don't really like Hunt but extremely well said 👍
He’s lying through his teeth - the OBR wasn’t given the full figures as they confirmed last week. The Rwanda plan doubled in cost to 900 million to deport 4 people, they lied through their teeth
😂
£ 3 trillion debt left by the tories 😂😂
@@Paul-eb4jp and literally nothing to show for it, whole Country is crumbling.
@Alex-rb3tb There's plenty to show for it but it's all banked offshore by the extremely wealthy.
Great comments Mr Hunt…the truth Hurts does in not Rachael?
What makes me laugh is she's a northern working class single mum who got very fortunate with the unions and ended up as deputy PM. She now persecutes her roots and is literally sucking of the public teet. But here is the best bit. She sold her council house and made a mass profit only to now scrap the right to buy for everyone else. Incredible! They are literally all the same in it for money and power.
How about returning migrants then we’ll save millions everyday
@@dorothykirby1928 she wants to keep them in our country, they feel sorry for them, all this building houses they are going to do, is for them, they are not for the British people.
Should of voted reform uk
I'm pretty sure keeping migrants saves us money. They are also essential for our economy
@@Sammy-qt9it Some yes, but the majority do not. They have caused our country a great deal of problems. And have not entered legally. They have to be removed, but this government are doing nothing about it. The people are sick and tired of it, and now we have got riots.
@@Sammy-qt9it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
20 billion wasted on illegal immigrants.
It was far more than 20 billion (Rwanda scheme) but who actually wasted this money? The immigrants or the Tory government ?
No such thing as illegal immigrants according to the UN. I'm surprised the Tories didn't want to take the UK out of that too.
@@DaveNeve Tories
@@Glassjar34 Maybe taking us out of Europe was a big enough mistake that they didn't want to commit another one.
@@Glassjar34And Labourites.
They is no £22 billion black hole, just labour doing what labour do, screw the people who have worked and saved, give it to the lazy and work shy.
tax has risen in real terms by 33% since 2010, also they borrowed 1.6 trillion yet nothing works everything is falling tp pieces
Question is what did they do with all the money, +1.6 trillion is double what the debt level was in 2010 now standing at 2.4
"For a party to enter office and then declare that things are ‘worse than expected’ would be fundamentally dishonest.

Published May 24 2024 available on their website.
They lied and now pensioners will suffer, unforgivable
Labour has had nearly four weeks in office and what is their record so far?
1. They're letting prisoners out earlier despite crime going out of control.
2. They've done nothing as yet to deport foreign criminals such as the Nigerian responsible for knifing an army officer recently or the Pakistanis attacking airport security in Manchester.
3. They've cancelled the only scheme so far to be able to remove illegal immigrants and have given an amnesty to huge numbers. [What has happened to the new law criminalising illegal immigrants?]
4. They've started a 'Green' company to encourage investment in 'Green Energy' that no-one will invest in.
5. They've made an agreement to pay above inflation rises to the salaries of public sector workers (average salary £45,000 per year) while reducing pensioners' income by £300 per year when the state pension is only £11,502.40.
What a bunch of sad Tory lies😂
Release Charles Bronson.
@@DarrenJamiesonJamieson - Or Nigel Farage.
Okay russian bot
Labour u turn after u turn constant lies! Same spineless party, I give them three years max until the get voted out, with a lack of confidence!
Hunt talking about credibility?! 🤣🤣🤣
Shame on Labour. She doesn’t care about working people. Get ready for Tax rises.
Doesn't make him wrong though. Labour knew how bad things were, everyone did, then promised things pre-election knowing full well they wouldn't be able to deliver on them and could then just blame the Tories like Labour have always done. Two parties just playing the same games year after year.
@@nervesconcord Both parties made promises pre-election knowing full well they won't be able to deliver them. The only difference is Tories have been in power for the last 14 years and should have had the country set in economic position where promises can actually come to fruition.
I struggled to disagree with anything he said though...
@@andymrkipling?????!??
So Jeremy Hunt and everybody else should know about the 20 billions shortfall but he still promised tax cuts?
Just 17 billions worth of tax cuts. Minor detail that. Just as unfunded as Liz Truss' mini budget. The party of sound money?
Before anyone listened to him, they should have remembered His 6years of Battering the NHS.
We were told before the election Labours plan wouldn’t work , didn’t add up . Would not tell us where the extra money coming from they needed for their plan .
voting gimmick that now makes him look weaker and even more untrustworthy
@@nickjackson5534 they are only in gov for less than a month. Don’t jump into conclusions. Tell me about it in 2026.
I like that response. Can't believe it's less than a month I almost miss the last government already. 🤬
Well said Jeremy for standing up for the British people and showing up Labour lies
So Hunt is admitting to knowing exactly how bad a job he was doing while he was chancellor?
He was Sunak’s Muppet. Sunak ran from the treasury once. Pulling Hunts strings was his open door to Leg it again.
@@user-iy1sx6wk9eLabour is lying.
@@user-iy1sx6wk9e Mistakes and shortfalls. Bit of an understatement for a near enough debt of 3 Trillion. Bad enough to establish a COVID corruption commissioner.
Exactly. He's admitting: 'We were lying our asses off but; its Labour's fault for not exposing our grand deceit!'
@@desmondroberts6034 Ha Ha Ha ! ! State of him today , he could be sectioned by the morning .
Hunt is literally saying, 'yes the situation is awful... yes I created that problem...'
@htasul But Labour did know the situation so why lie with all the pre election promises.
@@ThePixey1000?????????
ThePixey1000 but the point is they didn't.
The tories budgeted 2% payrise for teachers and that would be in the finicials but they new that they had been awarded 5% this leaves a blackhole of 3%.
What we are seeing is reported figures that have been fudged, look at the rowanda plan we now find it was going to cost 700 million to send a.couple of hundred people a year....
@@djstuc the bottom line is we as an electorate had a choice. Continue with the backwards and degenerate Tory party, or take a chance on a second option. Labour aren't going to wave a magic wand at our problems, but no party could.
Printing 10s upon 10s of billions to lockdown the country 3 times caused the problem, fully backed and egged on by the labour party.
Wonder if she will be claiming her fuel expenses this year
The £20b black hole is because of Labours additional spending plans, not the previous Tories spending plans. This was called out before the election. Labour is just trying to blame the Tories so they can raise taxes.
What spending plans? They barely had any and the Tories deliberately fked over the budgets by instigating unfunded NI cuts paid for by nonexistent savings on services.
Labour always leaves financial mess.
The scandal isn’t whether Labour knew, and C4 is being dishonest on focussing on this. Hunt is accusingLabour of being dishonest about tax rises, but the Tories were promising further Tax cuts, when they knew the money wasn’t there for the Tax Cuts they had previously promised.
The conservatives were not going to give massive pay rises double the rate of inflation to public services,which will cost over 8 billion.
@@phillipbarnett5810Its not a pay rise. Its a pay correction to account for the consistent real terms pay cuts the Tories inflicted.
@@sueelliott8085 It depended what taxes he would have cut. Hunt believed slowly as it goes, not what these idiots are doing, interfere with cold winter payments to pensioners, and causing mayhem to the economy. They were in opposition for fourteen years, criticised the Tories over Rowanda, and now they are in, doing sod all.
@@phillipbarnett5810 Yes and junior doctors got their 22 per cent increase, and they still going on strike. They want less hours, and seeing less patients. Yes the tax payer got a good deal, really.
Hunt calling others not credible? That's rich.....
😂😂😂😂😂 the circus continues without an public audience 😮 no apology from conservatives. Which is not a good start ! Conservatives do not understand it’s the public money and not there’s to waste as they wished ! 😮
Not as rich as he is.
@@TryDiy the comment I came to find😂
Labour are fake
I’m certainly no Tory, in fact I’m for Scottish independence. Be 18, 20 or 22 billion black hole, the point is there was always going to be austerity imposed, Liebour knew that, but they denied it during the election. Today’s was absolutely no surprise to prepared see through Labours lies
scottish independence talk in big 2024 xD
As a Scot I have no words for that 😂
Well labour hit the ground running. Just like muggers do after targeting old people.
But Sunak/Hunt deliberating lowering tax band for pensioners to get stung , would have been ok.
@@joancooley1387 they was committed to the triple lock .

Now, I wonder why the Tories really wanted to take us out of the ECHR!
We really need to be out of ECHRto save Britain
Looks like Rachel Reeves already has had her hand caught in the cookie jar 🤔☝️💯
Conservatives are the best !!!! Mainly for Pensioners to start with.
Jeremy Hunt is so angry because he has been rumbled….Tories led by him salted the Earth before losing
For a change, he’ll be right and being honest. They’re kept fully informed. My father is an ex Government advisor, it’s her who is being dishonest, and getting rumbled. What she probably means is her fully costed spending plans are 20 billion short.
About what has he been rumbled? 🤔
Wow! Wish Jeremy Hunt was so aggressive, clear, concise and vocal during his term! Amazing presentation... total facts, no fiction!
😂😂😂😂 hilarious. Anymore jokes
I remember the outgoing Labour Chancellor who left a note in his drawer to the incoming Tory Chancellor......."the money is all gone". They are all incompetent.
If this is about the Stonehenge tunnel the tories ought to have listened the first time by the court rulings that the plan was rubbish.
Clear case of hypocrisy. Those who wanted the tunnel, even though it could damage the balance of the stones. Then they go nuts when the stones are vandalised.
I live not too far from Stonehenge. The A360 was closed for months until recently, so the power cable could be installed in preparation for the tunnel. What a complete waste of time and public money that was!
@@trevorphillips3055 Agree. It should never have been planned let alone started.
Just knew the druids wouldn't get their tunnel!
The tunnel would of created more investment, to the south west and Cornwall eg growth
Labour have always been good at spending other peoples money. Get rid of this woman
I think she has just been found out, she couldn’t even look at him held her head down in shame
Jeremy Hunt is on another planet. no wonder he left such a mess
Merely a lying Tory it comes with territory
I do love a Leftie in shock when Labour are rightly pilloried. He never left any 'mess' as the IMF stated. Stop believing Labour's Bs....
Now we know why rishi was so keen on mathematics!!!
22billion of scribbled out sums!!!
Spot On.
So why don't we hear the response?
Because her response was not answering the question, instead playing the blame game. Get ready for tax rises my good working people.
@@nimzgaz7049 fair enough. P.s. I'm looking forward to paying more for the NHS. 😀
@@nimzgaz7049 The result of people voting for liars and scammers for the last 14 years.
@@bob1234881 Now there is a true Black Hole money thrown at it and it wastes millions upon millions a year
Because its sky news
Jeremy Hunt should be the next Conservative leader.
He is a Paddy who came here to conquere and uses his power for his own means.
Put simply Hunt doesnt like it up him and the 2010 old chestnust is as dead as the Parrot in Monty Python.
Labour had left a bigger black hole but have chosen to forget about it!
She didnt answer because she knew she was being deceitful
One way to sort this is to get the IMF auditors in to do a forensic
It was said , Reeves has done that. Concentrate.
The OBR has already said that they didn’t know about much of the stuff she spoke of.
@@sueelliott8085 IFS , some of Rachel Reeves findings genuinely shocking. It’s said , Hunts cuts to NI (which Sunak boasts of) looks ‘ever less defensible’). Didn’t seem plausible when announced anyway. Sunak perpetuated an aura around himself as a financial genius. Far from the truth, as the Tory’s have found out to their loss. ‘Cause fools rushed in.
Not a lover of Hunt, but spot on with this one
Jeremy Hunt: "yes, I knew the hole was there, I created it, I hid it, but it's her fault"
He is so corrupted sadly!
All Reeve has done is told everyone what the consequences are to Tories fighting for themselves and their cronies for 14yrs.
Why cut the clip there?
Why doesn't the BBC News broadcast this ?
The OBR are investigating the assumptions made in their own audit though, using information given by the Government of the day. Feed garbage in, get garbage out. The outcome of the OBR investigation will be something that will make the “no money left” letter (which was left as a traditional joke between incoming/outgoing chancellors) look good by comparison.
There’s always an expectations gap between what an audit does and what people feel an audit should do. It’s not an auditors job to ensure things are free from fraud or error, that is the preparer’s job.
Funny that hunt saying the figures were there to see but if that was the case why did sunak not disclose the rwanda figures or other departments when asked for various costings by committees or enquiries. So did hide things imo.
Spot on. Even at the covid enquiry he refused to answer on finances.
Agreed, but at least the Rowander idea was something. But this dum cow has removed it, and put nothing in its place. And as I am writing this, a few more hundred has just got in. This cow has done nothing. We are worse of then ever.
Don’t trust the tories or Hunt, but i suspect he’s right on this.
Funny how he mentions Paul Johnson, director of the IFS when he has just come out and said that Reeves is right here and that the last government have many questions to answer
Glad someone was concentrating 👏
I loved Paul Johnson’s banger Get Get Down
Who ran up the debt eh Jezza??? Tories are dead.
And why did debt rise old Son?
1. Inheriting a massive embedded deficit in 2010 that took 7 years of so called 'austerity' to balance the economy and then 4 years of COVID, global recession, global inflation and a war in Europe hitting fuel costs. During which THIS man and Sunak paid out billions to keep people's families safe, keep businesses running and pay half of everyone's fuel costs.
Yes they ran up debt but Labour ran up debt by a bigger margin so go read some facts fellah.
Labour ran up the debt as well as Tories remember the last thing they did when last in government leaving a note saying there was no money left. Then spent all their time complaining about Tories cuts now in government doing the cuts themselves.
Covid?
Government paying your below wage earning family money during COVID.
The honeymoon is nearly over
Cant believe people voted labour they will worse that the tories we need refom
Bravo! Well said
Well said Mr Hunt
Well at least a note wasn't left at the Treasury.
Ha ... Labour and their "fully costed" plans. Seen it all before. Here we go again!
They were fully costed. Tories lied about State of public finances.
Bot.
Well said Jeremy!
Got to say...formidable performance by Hunt
He has spoken the truth
Labour scams a country
Why is it that Hunt was promising tax cuts? Because he knew he would never have to deliver and he knew that he couldn't. The real figures are now coming clear.
@@stephenconway2468estimated 5 billion on asylum real figure 7.5 billion, there's creative accounting all over the place the NI cuts were completely unfunded
Will Rachel Reeves hope that the Labour party have gone when she becomes a pensioner? She must be thinking of getting the Conservative party back as quickly as possible.
bro came prepared
Spot on. He should have put his hat in for leader.
Oh, look. A pot calling a kettle black
I thought Jeremy Hunt was going to abolish National Insurance contributions, because it was essentially a double tax, even Sky's Kay burley said it...
😭 LMAO
I am no Tory but Hunt called it before parliament resumed.
Jeremy Hunt is not smiling now.
Not a Labour or Tory voter but would say that was game set and match to HUNT Rachel Reeves is a Liar with all her pre election promises that they know would not be delivered. . Parties have been operating like this for over a century.
This didn’t age well 😂

Hearing him attempting to defend the indefensible I couldn't help but wonder if he has any regrets winning his seat?......it was close!!!
He has said he’s leaving when they get a new ‘leader’. Problem being, his definition of ‘leader’.
Shame he stayed as a MP...
@@richardruff8712 Completely agree. (Think) notably Sunak wasn’t on the Back benches to represent his constituency. Maybe he’d be concerned that he’d appear Dim Witted up against Reeves.

Starmerdrama’s face is priceless!
Where’s reeves response???
Inflation is 2% but it isnt because of anything the tories did...
So they weren't to blame when it went up to 11% either then ???
Not quite what Labour were saying at the time.
Funny how inflation always seems to be SO much higher than the official figures...
So the tories had a global pandemic to fund
.what was labours excuse in 2010 when they left that note that there was no money left
@@lorrainelane6583 global recession
I wonder what Rachel Reeves will blame if inflation goes up.
They've spent so long talking and doing nothing that the people are tearing their own communities apart
My, My My . The Brexit Party has just begun ! Any party poopers out there ?
And to hunts left mel stride who wanted to rip pip from the disabled,it all sound rich to me
Yeah ......shes a liar
Reeves has gone down this route, so at the budget, she can raise taxes. Remember Labours promise was to not raise taxes. Hold her to it.
Taxes on working people. Doesn’t mean capital gains and the non dom is safe.
Remember the Tories telling us before the election that the economy growing under them, clearly they were lying and Hunt has just confirmed that.
All parties pre election promises that they know once in power they dont have to deliver.
This party piece as been going on for over a century. Dont British people ever learn.
We NEED higher taxes. Sorry.
Not all taxes. Higher band council tax? CGT?
labour and money don't mix
Didnt trust him....certainly dont trust her!
They taxed pensioners labour stop money all together what they all going to do when they can't fleece the pensioners any more lower national insurance not tax because that would mean pensioners would benefit from not paying tax
Labourites, are con artists and always have been.
The temerity of criticising when it's the Tories mess that they are having to deal with.
Unbelievable
I believe Hunt. Rachel Reeves needs to prove herself competent before blaming her predecessor.
Nonsense. Hunt hid the information regarding his ‘promises’ of ‘investment’ that there wasn’t the money to pay for. Hunt is a barefaced liar like the rest of the Tories
Millions of the public literally blamed the Tory’s . They Are Gone. Move On. For the sake of your mental health.
Prove herself to an incompetent tory?

@@Ken-yy9us Spot On. 👏.
Dont trust any of them anymore.
Isnt time in the 2024, especially in parliament the MPs stop referring to male and female opponents as he and she ? isnt this very disrespectful and sexist?
Instead more respectful and professional is to refer to them as - The Chancellor , the honourable collegue, The oposition member etc.
These are just few examples.
I seem to think that Labour has forgotten about the 2 years of lockdown because of Covid, I’m amazed the shortfall wasn’t more!
Someone Tell Him, Don't waste your time fighting each other to get bulky and big, because there is no difference between big and small! The essence of beauty is the same...absolute truth is inviolable. And remember that we are all mold on a ball traveling through space, do not inflate yourself with special success, because we are all in the same bucket."

he buggered up the health service first and then the economy
Doesnt really matter who and when the issue is known, the heart of the matter is who spent the money????
What a liar. Awful Tories. Just say sorry and go away forever.
I can tell that Hunt is lying,his lips moved.
Poor poor Jewemy, he couldn't take it on the chin today or say sowwy, complete entitled tossa.
Surprising how many multi millionaire Labour MP's there are including Saint IKEA Starmer who is reportedly worth around £7 million. Another entitled "Champagne Socialist". 💰🍷⛱️
Well said Mr Hunt 👏
