“Playing Political Game!” Mel Stride HITS BACK At Rachel Reeves Blaming £22bn Black Hole On Tories
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves put the UK on notice about future tax rises as she accused the Tories of leaving an “unforgivable” £22 billion black hole in the public finances.
She cancelled or postponed road and hospital building projects, restricted winter fuel payments to just the poorest pensioners and warned that “difficult decisions” on tax would be required in her first budget on October 30.
The Chancellor accused her Conservative predecessors of covering up the scale of immediate spending pressures on the public purse.
Talk’s Peter Cardwell is joined by Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary and Tory leadership contender Mel Stride.
Mr Stride accuses Ms Reeves of ‘playing a political game’ with her claims about the UK’s finances.

Rachel Reeves shame on you!! Taking winter fuel aid from pensioners yet you can find money to house migrants in 4 star hotels disgraceful
It was the Tories who did that, Brainiac.
Closed the overseas refugee centres, so they have to come here.
Defunded the immigration service, and forbidding them from checking claims.
Put the resulting backlog in hotels owned by Tories and Tory donors.
Full House, in off season!
Making a mint!
And instead of blaming the Tories, you're blaming the people who called them out.
The previous government have stockpiled migrants in these hotels rather than processing them and sending them home. And on top they spent a fortune on the Rwanda debacle, where it looks like we paid for a load of houses to be built which local Rwandans have moved into!
I shall lose the princely sum of £2 a week, that means we won't be able to eat without that.
Reeves is a shister. A man bird 😮😮😮😮😮
There already here that's the Tories if they didn't let them in there wouldn't be a problem
ITS ALREADY BEEN DUBBED , A BUDGET FOR MIGRANTS 😡

No, it's too scary. Will the last person to leave the country please turn off the lights.
Making pensioners pay NI.
@@leonardmeredith3630 I guess pensioners will be required to take in illegal migrants to save on hotel bills - but hang on that won’t work, we don’t want migrants to be cold in winter
The predictions have been voiced previously ...They are taking us for mugs..
People who voted Labour won't believe what happens next 😂😂😂 tax rises , end of winter fuel payments for the pensioners, but not for migrants.
A good chunk of the people that voted for Labour dont pay taxes (on Benefits) or are young people living off mum and dad, so will not care what is to come. Sad times for the normal hard working person.
they will be like Biden is, bloody useless
@peterholden3672 I’m fairly sure migrants don’t pay a penny towards heating in their 4* hotels
@peterholden3672, 🤣🤣🤣 you don't need to if you don't pay for it.🤣🤣🤣
And more knife crimes and violent protests not just in London but all across UK ! 🤦🏻♂️
Labour, "for the working class", just not if you've worked all your life, paid into the system & retired - illegal migrants are more important than you now, sorry folks
Who are the working class these days.Junior doctors?The millions of employable people who opt to stay on benefits?
@@abazely2743 exactly, not the working class that labour was founded for
It's the Tories, who deliberately created the migrant backlog, to enrage people like you to vote Tory.
Why don't you migrate to Spain then? Oh, because you probably voted to leave the EU? Pitty.
More like illegal immigrant and union party
We are allaware of the labour lies
strange thing to say after all the tory lies.

No shortage of money for foreign aid, illegal migrants & premature money for Gaza! Pick on the pensioners who can’t come out to protest but it will come back to Labour on the grey vote!
That's it - it's absolutely sickening isn't it? BILLIONS for Ukraine and Hamas and overseas "climate aid" but no money for pensioners or the poorest children in this country??
They spent years saying tax the billionaires amd first time they can they tax the most vulnerable
Tories are finished. Labour out next election.
Nothing is free even for old people the black hole was there in the torie government before and the missing money the tories never boved getting back from covid
NO MORE FORIEGN AID UNTIL WE THE BRITISH PEOPLE HAVE HOMES ARE ABLE TO BUY FOOD ,ELECTRICITY JUST EVERY DAY LIVING. CHARITY STARTS AT HOME. IF I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO GIVE TO A CHARITY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO SO, I CAN'T POP ALONG TO THE BANK AND GET A LOAN TO GIVE
Why are they always penalising the pensioners,this is outrageous.The Labour party is going back on their promises.
labour always go back on their promises
And the disabled.
Rachel's already tripped up... DER Rach!
Labour LIE. Get used to it. Boris was an amateur when it comes to lying compared to every member of the Cabinet.
Because over 75% of over 65's own their own homes. You're acting like pensioners are the worst off in this country, when in reality it's the opposite.
Did you expect anything different?
Labour attacking the pensioners.
Because most pensioners don't vote for them. Gimmegrants do.
@@gavinsmith9564 still a remoaner, grow up, the children of these pensioners will not be voting Liebour.
@@gavinsmith9564It's got nothing to do with Brexit you numbnuts
It all started with Gordon Brown leaving a huge black financial hole as well as selling the uk gold reserves at the very lowest market rate .
It was far worse than that he announce ahead of time the price at which it would be sold. Yanis Varoufakis describes in detail the reasons for this foolish sale of UK gold reserves. Yanis didn't hold back on his criticism on this decision.
Rachel Reeves should be renamed Gaslighting Gertie.😂
The gold reserves amounted to about $3.5 billion in 2002.
Ed Balls up was his partner in that crime
When you lie and deceive , you will get caught out
Just like what has happened to the Tories. You said it.
Just like Boris, Truss etc etc etc
So pensioners are to have their winter fuel allowance taken of them
So they can pay for the illegal immigrants to be warm in their four star hotels and after Labour has just increased the overseas budget to 85 Billion but on top of the pensioners getting the lowest pensions in Europe they now get a kick in the teeth
Rich people are losing a benefit they should never have received in the first place.
And it's Tories who closed the overseas refugee centres, to deliberately create the migrant backlog, to enrage people like you to vote Tory.
Labour has always proposed reopening the overseas refugee centres that the Tories closed, so anybody arriving by boat can legally be sent there.
I hope everyone who voted labour is happy , vote reform,
I'm happy.
Because the full extent of Tory embezzlement is being exposed.
Reform are just as bad there isn't any tea clean party's
Sounds like an excuse to raise taxes and give the public even less than we get now.
One thing is odd, they have already increased the foreign support...
Exactly she said I don't know how many times if we can't afford ot we won't spend it, we can't build to hospitals but can send money abroad no worries
Mel Stride - if your government had not been so left wing and woke, we would not have this Labour government now. So excuse me if I disregard what you say
This proves labour hate the elderly
So do labour voters they voted for it
labour hates everybody
If we have shortage of money isn't it logical to stop immigrants, who cost a fortune to keep?
So 2.5 million arriving in 2 years, wonder why the money is running out ,, how stupid is this parliament
Billions to Ukraine not our country
Seems to me every other country is more important than us. We pay, they enjoy.
I am looking forward to the day that Nigel Farage Reform give labour their shaming, on the finances already £24 billion spend and its only 3 weeks in?
How low IQ do you have to be to think that Farage and Reform will ever be in power.... have you actually ever bothered to do real research into voting demographics. 33% of the country are CENTRISTS who will only vote for a party they think is centrist, they will NEVER. EVER. VOTE REFORM for obvious reasons - so it's a dead-end party. Only the Tories can appeal to both the centre and the hard-right. Reform only appeal to the hard-right AND the far-right.
Get a clue. Farage is a liar.
Labour election lies ,i gkad i voted reform uk
If you voted REFORM you VOTED FOR LABOUR - time to grow up and accept reality.
If you voted for Reform (or refused to vote in protest over Sunak stabbing Boris in the back) you voted for this. That's how elections work. You fell for the fake polls that said Reform were "neck and neck" with the Tories: the truth is they NEVER were - they were NOWHERE NEAR. Reform cannot win an election due to their inability to win the 33% centrist vote. So Reform were always a deadend and Farage lied - he lied, You need to accept Farage lies all the time even if, like me, you support Brexit. He even lies about Brexit not working lol when it's WORKING PRETTY WELL.
Farage is a snake.
People who voted Labour are getting EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. If you voted Reform - you voted Labour. We all make mistakes.
I hope the pensioners who vted for this labour vermin are happy think about reeves when you are freezing and hungry
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Labour vermin ❤❤❤
Every other benefit is means-tested.
Why not this one?
What do you expect. We had a pandemic and were and are involved in a war. Remember the generous heating allowances we all got. For goodness sake we are not daft we can put 2& 2 together. Stop Lammy sending money abroad and you would be better off.
Public workers inflation busting pay rises partly paid for by taking money from scrapping winter heating allowance from pensioners.
They aren't inflation busting rises.
They don't come close to compensating for the 11% inflation Truss created with her unfunded budget.
@@sasserine Funny how the press put it
"Millions of public sector workers are set to get inflation-busting pay rises, Rachel Reeves confirmed."
"LONDON, July 29 (Reuters) - British public sector workers such as teachers and doctors are set to receive inflation-busting pay rises worth 9.4 billion pounds ($12.1 billion) that will pressure the public purse but help avoid disruptive industrial action, the government said on Monday".
As a point my wife works for a company that types up patient letters for the NHS and is on the same rate of pay since 2004 20 years without a pay increase.
Ah so it’s 22 billion today, yesterday it was 20 billion, tomorrow she’ll say it’s 25 billion.. she’s such a blatant liar!
No the tories made the black hole

Why do you assume so? Because each side of the polarised spectrum of voters is supposed to just watch their own media outlets, to hear what we already believe in and reinforce those ideas further?! I try to watch both to give myself a chance to hear views from both camps and just maybe learn the truth somewhere between the lines, trying to stir clear of ideology. I suggest you do the same. It's healthy 😅 and would be good for dialogue.
Why is no one talking about reducing spending on waste
Get rid of DEI managers and save hundreds of millions, and that's just the start of the waste
No money but the boats keep coming .No shortage off money there
The Tory boats, bringing Tory migrants, to fill Tory hotels, to put money into Tory pockets.
Out of her own mouth came the words “ I can’t say that I didn’t know”
Labour has made pensioner’s poor and maybe dead in the winter.
Starmer, how much are you sending to Ukraine? How much are you spending on Net Stupid? Multi billions? And, only 30% of the country wanted you in power the rest of us shudder in horror.
Also, The Tories had fourteen years to make Britain Great again, and didn't. So sod the lot of you. Reform UK!
30% of voters not the country only about 40% voted
@@gibbo822 Nit pick as much as you want. You know what I mean.
Making the pensioners pay for the doctors pay. Hate the new government already.
There's literally no difference between both main parties. Neither work for the people. They serve their corporate masters and the unelected World Economic Forum run by Klaus Schwab
Absolutely disgusting.
Much more money for immigrants when Pensioners have died from hypothermia
Labour was always going to play the blame game they will increase something so shouldn't be shocked but removing the pensioner's heating money that's just cruel and nasty
Unfortunately it's what the voters want
Only rich Tory coffin-dodgers lose the allowance.
Have they thought of eating less avocados?
@peterholden3672 so if your old and voted tory, you deserve to be cold over winter nice to know labour voters are heartless aswell so it's not just labour that are nasty it's their voter's aswell
@@sasserine No, the ones it will really hit are the working class who paid into small workplace pensions and who's small additional pension makes them ineligible for pension credit.
I cannot bear the sound of that Reeves' voice. Ugh.
Her advisors desperately need to get ger some elocution lessons..
She's to dramatic aswell.
It appears to be a requirement to make a point with the high pitched nasal sounds of a 10 year old.
Estuary nasal glottal stopping English at its best.😂😂
I cannot believe what has happened to everything everywhere since 2020. !!!!
Count your days madame you wont last
Offering a 22% increase to doctors and taking winter fuel payments off pensioners hmmm
@@cbr6001962 I suppose you’ll need more doctors to treat pensioners who can’t afford to keep warm this coming winter
@@Dave1975-n2o didn’t think of that
11 Billion is money she just gave to Public service workers.
I don’t think labor will come to power again .
The pensioner bashing has started, labour such a caring party as long as you've just arrived on a boat, every extra one in is another vote, will the fools who voted them in see what there've done now
We didn't believe the Conservative Party and we wont believe Labour....same old......
It is called the Lying game
Starmer was looking distinctly shifty and off colour while Reeves was spinning her yarn.
What about the over inflated government departments size
No talk of cutting back on MPs benefits and freebies
100%
and the £300 A DAY they get in the house of lords
the bloke in the background is a legend
She had no knowledge of the public finances???? She does not need to look its all around us, failing economy, the countries services on its knees, the NHS almost in the gutter. The country has the highest debt for decades the highest tax rates for 70 years. And he calls any other party than his owl liars or words to this effect. I am 84 years old and for 70% of my working life we have been run by a Conservative Government and the mess we are in is mostly their failures in running the country is immense. I believe that they have put their own interests before the country that they had been elected to Govern.
The dude behind him with the sign 😁
God bless him 🙏 ❤
You can see someone?
Unfortunately the public are in full support of elderly having their winter money stopped, question is why ? Why would you want this ?
Because only rich pensioners will lose the allowance.
Why should every other benefit be means tested, but not that?
Because every other benefit is means tested, why not that?
My wife and I have standard state pensions without any pension credits ect. I didn't vote for Labour scum but we have to suffer. Commie scum ba@#&=ts
Pensioners who do not get pension credits are not necessarily rich pensioners. Many pensioners who do not get any help struggle to get by on a pension and meagre savings. Winter fuel payments are, for a lot of pensioners, crucial to keeping warm during the winter
@@CarolAnnGrantCoker-bt5yt As far as I know anyone getting over around £11400 pension will not get pension credit, hardly makes them rich does it.

'How confident you're not going to come last' what a 5h1t question, for some reason I expected better from TalkTV we're entering a new dark age.

Love the guy with the sign 👍🏻
I’m disturbed this man cannot answer truthfully a simple question.
😂 A Labour and Tory liars love in.
Reeves The Robber.
What's next for pensioners.. 😮
If Mel Stride says it, it must be true 🙄
The funny thing is those 400+ mps have to go back and tell there constituent pensioners why they voted for them! The lot of them looked overjoyed with that statement.
People support Nigel Farage because he has the right policies and has listened to the people, NOT BECAUSE HE IS NOT A TORY!!!!
This country is NOT a great empire any longer, it is time that governments realise that and start to look after the British people first!!!!
I hope she has earmarked the waspi compensation!
No chance
Robber Reeves shortfall of 20bn is a lie !!!
I feel hated after working for over 50 years
So Stride…did you spend more or less 👉
What about the hotel bill housing illegal imigrants? How much can we save there if we put the ships out and took them back off in France??
What did you expect from Labour !!!!
Labour think the people are stupid. There’s a 22billion black hole and then spend 22 billion. Ridiculous
It’s the Tories who were playing the lying game.
Well the OBR will know whether it is true or not, SPEAK TOTHEM!!!!!
Ridiculous labour 🙄 ffs.. were doomed
No different to the Tories playing political games since 2010 .
To those who voted labour, thank you for plunging us into hell, you've condemned us to 5 years of pure misery, whatever happens now is on your consciences.
If there was nothing to hide why weren't the OBR informed of the lack of available funding on so many items?
This government will be worse in history
We’ve heard about this black hole but have seen no proof in the economy that it exists
The OBR were denied access to the sleazemongers proposals.
You were there, were you?😂
will anyone admit they were wrong to vote for these people?! 3 weeks and already lying. thanks in advance for the tax increases
Maybe she was lazy and didn't do her homework
I think he's got good points
I wouldn't believe a word Mel Stride says,dont forget he backed Bozo and Truss.
And Charles got a 53% pay rise,how much is that costing the taxpayer
We can't believe a word the Tories say, telling lies is normal for them, they even lied to the late Queen.
What an amazing hole ..... what was the hole when they left after their last government.... oh I know the defence budget had a 25 billion hole .... and the note left in the treasury said no money left didn't it?
Did you squeal and piss your knickers, when historical Tory governments left that traditional note?
You know it's a long running joke, that began decades ago, and was carried on as a tradition by every government of the last century.
Like leaving a mince pie and carrot for Santa and Rudolph.
The kids all know it's Dad that eats them.
You know it's a long running tradition.
I know it's a long running tradition.
You know I know you know.
And I know you know I know.
But you chose to lie about it, regardless.
The only 'black hole' is in Rachel Reeves face. She's well out of her depth and time will show it.
Bs
Then he says they are going to balance the books that the tories have trashed. And the Gaul of it to say they can't blame you after a month when your MPs were still trying to blame the last labour government after 14 years of failure !
If the British public all stuck together and refused to pay taxes then they couldn't ignore us. People power!!!!!
But the sheeple are all too busy arguing with each other on social media and too worried they might lose out somehow.
Didnt cut any of their perks to help fill the black hole like their heating allowance for one
Labour screaming tory austerity? demanding conservatives spend money, Labour complaining conservatives don't spend enough money, Labour complaining there's too much debt...
is Mel Stride admitting their was a £22B Blackhole?
