And you can be Minister for Education one week, Foreign Minister the next, Chancellor the next. I can't think of any business where this would happen? It's not just the education, it's also the experience (or lack thereof), which arguably is even more important. No surprise our political class is letting us down so badly.
You apply for a Job labouring/stacking shelves/cleaner any occupation under the sun 1st question HAVE YOU ANY EXPERIANCE DOING THIS JOB B4 ? NOT GOV UK .
Well, the male Tory chancellors didn't do too well did they? When they left government after fourteen years of sleaze, corruption and austerity, our debt stood just shy of a TRILLION pounds. That, of course, is a record and they were all men 😂😂 Useless blokes the lot of them!!
A lot of our borrowed debt has been given to Africa, imagine asking your bank to increase your card limit as its maxed out, what do you intend doing with the additional money, donate it to charity.
Indeed, the last government were really good at that and ended up handing over a debt of nigh on a TRILLION POUNDS!! Funnily enough, it didn't seem to worry the right wing media at the time.... I wonder why?
You've got to love all the Tory simpletons who kept voting for the Tories over fourteen years of sleaze, corruption and austerity ending up with a record debt of nigh on a TRILLION POUNDS 😂😂😂
I’m sure if you scratch around the Labour front bench or just behind it you’ll find someone who’s ran a doggy daycare centre. Darren Jones, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury hasn’t got any qualifications to entitle him to that role. This whole situation is highly dangerous, this is a train wreck.
Can we have some good news for a change it's only the second week of 2025!!!! This is actually worse than the Liz Truss failed budget at least that had the potential for growth with lower taxes and encouraging foreign investment which this nation desperately needs.
Philip asks - how they will get out of this situation? Simples - get more 'other peoples money' . Can we really take 4 more years of these complete idiots???
I’ve been to our GP several times over recent weeks for annual review, test, etc at various times of the day. Every time there wasn’t a person in the waiting area. Are these GPs seeing anyone or doing any NHS work. The place is full of admin workers and nurses. The staff car park full, the visitors car park empty When test results came back they contacted me to arrange an appointment to discuss with a doctor, it was to be a phone call, 3 weeks after that day. What are these GPs doing ? We’ve created a 3rd world service at great expense and to the benefit of everyone except those expected to pay for it.
Liz truss was a far better person and a far better chancellor if she would have been given a chance than reeves will ever be, also she wasn't ruthless like reeves,
Rachel from accounts is skilled at origami and has a love of Chinese. Number 48 and chips is her favourite. Angela Rayner worked in a care home and is adept at catching spittle from the mouth of some old dear. These are essential qualities needed by every politician. So Ms H Brewer, less of the scorn.
They have the money to give them self's a pay rise also they have money for there second homes the list is endless why don't they take a massive pay cut considering they do nothing except sleeping on the benchs
Does Reeves understand how things work in business. This NI increase bounces around all over the place. Councils often outsource a lot of services like care and maintenspace etc and these people have to pay and then transfer to the council.. only direct employees may be reclaimable.Other businesses will charge othe s to make back the cost or if they can’t they may. Lose or reduce numbers.
The government is full of hot air, as is the dreadful BBC. The chancellor is completely out of her depth, and meanwhile, the economy is tanking, surprise, surprise.
WTF does anyone think would happen to anybody in our little world if they came into a job and completely sank the company within six month??? Ile give the clue of feet and not touching ground?
NHS has treated me this week over 2 days for suspected cancer. Their service has been exemplary. Each appointment on time or called in early, 100% respect. I cannot fault them.❤
Non of them in cabinet have had real jobs which put them in good stead for the roles they have. None.,,,im more worried about all the labour and ex labour mps with child porn on thier computers,,yes all info in news and can be found on line. .
Truss was useless and wrecked the economy over a couple of days following the disastrous budget. This was bad enough but at least you could see the big problems, reverse them and put measure in to correct them. Reeves has put us in a much more dangerous position where it’s a steady decline over months where it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact way to fix it as it’s a number of things she’s done and, sadly, is blindly oblivious to it.
What have we voted into power i thought it couldn't get any worse than the Conservatives. It just has. Labour are going to run this is into the ground in 4 years
Also, foreign nations from some countries don't get or believe in jabs due to religious or cultural beliefs. They live in larger families predominantly therefore bugs will be spread quicker in and out the family. Therefore virus rates will increase along with the elderly increase rate . Which is an annual norm. I think maybe advice more openly and frequently to use community services eg pharmacy consultations or walk in centres. What happened to leaflet/ advertisements on bus stops et and public announcements?
Obviously you do not have to have run a business to run the country, unlimited tax payers money on tap , don’t need to be able to add up or balance the books 📚. Every business has to spend less than they make ,every household has to spend less than they earn. Oh sorry that’s economics, We need an economist not Racheal from accounts
Pensioners who have never paid tax will be paying it after April when the pension increase puts them over the threshold…which means they will have less money in their pockets…
In my town we only have a Tesco extra and a polish shop in town, there is a Tesco supermarket a 40 minute walk away, but, being a pensioner I can no longer walk to it and carry back bags. I have noticed over the past few months that their bags of potato's have shrunk to half the size at the same price as many other things have. Get it delivered I hear many of you say, to get a free delivery you have to spend a certain amount and thanks to Rachel I have to be very careful on what I spend. The 480 pound Labour keep going on about, it is gone before I even see it, last year we had a large rise funny then that I was 10 quid a week worse off which will be the same this year, or even more. I worked all my life and Labour seem to despise me, so they tax me and give it to the illegal immigrants who are fed and kept warm, as are the Labour politicians who claim massively on their expenses for energy and anything else they can get their grubby little hands on.
Truss's economic policies were spot on - as Rache has spectacularly confirmed. Her mistake was assuming the Tory party would support her and her quasi-Thatcherite agenda. She failed to understand that half the Tory party prefers political oblivion to supporting a Brexiteer. And that the Gov of the BofE was batting for the other side. Sacking the chief Treasury mandarin on Day 1 may have been pleasurable and entirely justified, but then expecting the rest of the Blob to provide loyal support was frankly deluded. They owe no loyalty to elected governments. They are the State within the State. Until they are eliminated entirely we are going to get MORE OF THE SAME.
Reeves has been given a "free pass" because as bad as she is, Reeves is the best that Labor has! There is a world of difference from actually working in an industry and being taught by someone who has not worked in an industry!
I admire Talk TV but the presenters like Hartley-Brewer are awful. Barely let the so called expert guests a chance to reply before jumping in with their own opinions. Pointless having them on when all they want to do is hear their own voice.
Reeves even berated Tories for thinking about raising NI for Businesses because it is a jobs tax then gets into office and does it in conjunction with raising minimum wage. 😂
Labour understand the maths on a basic level. They see the taxpayer as a shortcut whilst in power. They dont have an inkling when it comes to the deepseated/deeprooted failures and faults of business and commerce in order to relieve the average brit of the burden of broken business and broken taxation via the PAYE/Cis/Umbrella schemes they and the Tories have allowed to usurp the idea of an actual fully employed nation.
Just over 400 years ago Spain finally managed to kick islam out of its country ! Why approx 414 years later are our politicians dithering ? Grow some b a lls Britain.
Could it be possible, that, with the devils dust being still in his nostrils, him being forced to inhale the same and the same with the alcohol? Just saying the injuries and the animal like sounds being heard at the hotel could he have been held and forced ?
Julia my dear Elon Musk is not a journalist but he has done more to expose this horrendous vile crime that was committed on the most vulnerable of British society, young poor white girls than you ever have, so have some respect please
No they certainly could not run a business for profit or growth. Clearly out of there scope. How can you Trash an Economy in 5 to 6 months. Surely thats a Record. Worrying thing is there is Zero Chance of it getting better. Inflation, Energy and Interest Rates will all increase. Employment costs to cover the Employers National Insurance Increases havent come into force until April 2025. Increase to Minimum Wage Rise will also affect business. All its going to do is Take Money out of Consumers Pockets. Which then puts Unemployment and Job Loss on the table.
No they haven't ran a business, but they are going to bankrupt a few.
This Labour Government could not run a bath.
They are going to destroy the country. Only supporting the public sector.
A few??
The whole of Britain! 😢
Some of the most important jobs in society (ministers in a government) require no professional qualifications at all. Quite scary actually.
And you can be Minister for Education one week, Foreign Minister the next, Chancellor the next. I can't think of any business where this would happen? It's not just the education, it's also the experience (or lack thereof), which arguably is even more important. No surprise our political class is letting us down so badly.
You apply for a Job labouring/stacking shelves/cleaner any occupation under the sun 1st question HAVE YOU ANY EXPERIANCE DOING THIS JOB B4 ? NOT GOV UK .
Rachel Reeves is no economist
Rachel from accounts
First ever Female Chancellor.
And the last?
Useless bint
from complaints nor accounts
Well, the male Tory chancellors didn't do too well did they?
When they left government after fourteen years of sleaze, corruption and austerity, our debt stood just shy of a TRILLION pounds.
That, of course, is a record and they were all men 😂😂
Useless blokes the lot of them!!
😄😄😄😄
Useless bint 😂. I was going to say that
Total bint
I can remember what the UK was like under Labour in the 70s. It looks as though we are heading back there.
We just need the Power Cuts and we're there.
100% correct.
We have been living on borrowed money for years now Rachel thinks its good to borrow more . what a woman.we will end up with more debt than Africa
A lot of our borrowed debt has been given to Africa, imagine asking your bank to increase your card limit as its maxed out, what do you intend doing with the additional money, donate it to charity.
We actually borrow money in order to give it away in foreign aid. How does that make financial sense?
Indeed, the last government were really good at that and ended up handing over a debt of nigh on a TRILLION POUNDS!!
Funnily enough, it didn't seem to worry the right wing media at the time.... I wonder why?
Too late, Britain's national debt is over twice that for the whole of Africa ........ yet we still borrow more toi give it away.
So who do the Goverment borrow money from they never tell us because it is not real
Not one of them would know how to run a business, then they place someone with no experience as Chancellor..we are doomed,the end is nigh
Run a business? Most of them wouldn’t know how to run a bath.
Reeves should be in prison
You've got to love all the Labour simpletons who criticised Liz Truss defending Labour now🤦🤦♀️😂
👍😊lol, yes.
You've got to love all the Tory simpletons who kept voting for the Tories over fourteen years of sleaze, corruption and austerity ending up with a record debt of nigh on a TRILLION POUNDS 😂😂😂
All the labours can do is blame others for everything. They Show no proof when asked.
I’m sure if you scratch around the Labour front bench or just behind it you’ll find someone who’s ran a doggy daycare centre. Darren Jones, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury hasn’t got any qualifications to entitle him to that role. This whole situation is highly dangerous, this is a train wreck.
Darren Jones talks the talk and that makes him look smart among these Muppets.
It would be a train wreck, if we had drivers that werent on strike.
The farmers can bring the government down without to much problems
Same thing happened 1990s under labour
And the 70's before that. People just don't learn.
labour couldnt run a bath
Couldn't run a bath, they would have to have a 3year review to find out how to empty, even then they wouldn't have a clue
They don't need to. Their main voters don't use them.
Get rid of REEVES NOW😔😡😡
Can we have some good news for a change it's only the second week of 2025!!!! This is actually worse than the Liz Truss failed budget at least that had the potential for growth with lower taxes and encouraging foreign investment which this nation desperately needs.

Liz truss was a far better person and a far better chancellor if she would have been given a chance than reeves will ever be, also she wasn't ruthless like reeves,
When will Rachel Thieves answer the question "Why did she resign from Lloyds / HBOS in 2009? She should be sacked. She couldn't run a bath !!!
Food is going up but getting smaller in size and portion ... 🤔🤔🤔
My coffee has gone up 120%. From £1.50 to £3.30
Time to control the weight after years of purging
Labour never have never will grow the economy politics of envy every time
just wait till next year at this time, when we have another million people in the country, how are the NHS going to cope then.
Don’t forget the staff being dismissed from all the hotels that house emigrants
Time to get these people out. Rachel from accounts and Free Gear Kier are now officially worse than the Liss Truss budget. Time for Reform
Rachel from accounts is skilled at origami and has a love of Chinese. Number 48 and chips is her favourite. Angela Rayner worked in a care home and is adept at catching spittle from the mouth of some old dear. These are essential qualities needed by every politician. So Ms H Brewer, less of the scorn.
That's their University of Life.
Reeves likes fiddling expenses 🤫
They couldn’t run a bath, Yet alone a business.
They have the money to give them self's a pay rise also they have money for there second homes the list is endless why don't they take a massive pay cut considering they do nothing except sleeping on the benchs
Rishi Sunak warned everyone!
Does Reeves understand how things work in business. This NI increase bounces around all over the place. Councils often outsource a lot of services like care and maintenspace etc and these people have to pay and then transfer to the council.. only direct employees may be reclaimable.Other businesses will charge othe s to make back the cost or if they can’t they may.

O Jeez. When's the spring budget? Gotta get out of here....
Probably in spring
The government is full of hot air, as is the dreadful BBC. The chancellor is completely out of her depth, and meanwhile, the economy is tanking, surprise, surprise.
At this point we better start eating our lawns instead of cutting them
Plant cress and spinach in the grass.
If that statement wasn't true it would be funny, God help us.
They will find a way to tax the highly privileged people who have the audacity to have a garden
My wife would make a great Labour Chancellor - she is superb at spending money! 😂
Labour listen to no one but themselves.. it is embarrassing
We deserve what we tolerate.
WTF does anyone think would happen to anybody in our little world if they came into a job and completely sank the company within six month??? Ile give the clue of feet and not touching ground?
NHS has treated me this week over 2 days for suspected cancer. Their service has been exemplary. Each appointment on time or called in early, 100% respect. I cannot fault them.❤

She couldn't look after her Credit Card mind boggling.
Worse still Rachel is able to be voted out. Unfortunately she has a whole Treasury office who know nothing better and they are there to stay.
Did Rachel Reeves have a proven track of being an economist or running a business
The answer is no , so not surprising
this is happening…
Truss was useless and wrecked the economy over a couple of days following the disastrous budget. This was bad enough but at least you could see the big problems, reverse them and put measure in to correct them. Reeves has put us in a much more dangerous position where it’s a steady decline over months where it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact way to fix it as it’s a number of things she’s done and, sadly, is blindly oblivious to it.
So winter fuel don't help not even mentioned
Most of them couldn’t run a bath
Never had such a low turnover. People can't pay. Worst for 40 years
Everyone keeps saying the winter fuel payment for pensioners is £300, it isn’t. Pensioners under 80 get £200, only pensioners over 80 get £300.
What have we voted into power i thought it couldn't get any worse than the Conservatives. It just has. Labour are going to run this is into the ground in 4 years
Labour couldn't run a bath
3rd sector in Derbyshire looks like it will be a blood bath as funding disappears in to progressivism !
They can’t even run a bath but who is really pulling the strings who is the puppet master?
What is it that Starmer is so scared of? There is a huge "white wash" going on here and Starmer has something to hide.
Also, foreign nations from some countries don't get or believe in jabs due to religious or cultural beliefs. They live in larger families predominantly therefore bugs will be spread quicker in and out the family. Therefore virus rates will increase along with the elderly increase rate . Which is an annual norm. I think maybe advice more openly and frequently to use community services eg pharmacy consultations or walk in centres. What happened to leaflet/ advertisements on bus stops et and public announcements?
Class of 95, Broadmoor,,,,
They could just about run a bath
They couldn't run a bath never mind a business.
Run
Good day to bury news
Perhaps they should stop slagging off Elon, and maybe ask him for a loan.
Elon would never give Labour a loan…he’s not stupid!
"...run..."
Wish Julia would let her quests speak she is always interrupting them.
She should let Philip speak!
Obviously you do not have to have run a business to run the country, unlimited tax payers money on tap , don’t need to be able to add up or balance the books 📚. Every business has to spend less than they make ,every household has to spend less than they earn. Oh sorry that’s economics, We need an economist not Racheal from accounts
It would be good to let him speak!
Vote Reform.
It's not just a London thing, I noticed the same thing in Nottingham and Lincoln.
Stop giving our money away and wasting the rest.
Very good
Broke. My leg earlier in year 3 days before it was cast sat in wheal chair no pain killer in my 60,s 🤣
Pensioners who have never paid tax will be paying it after April when the pension increase puts them over the threshold…which means they will have less money in their pockets…
The top 3 probably avoiding further digging
Why does anyone still pay for bbc !? Stop paying it now !

Sometimes we had £300 quid to help keeping warm .
Yes i have long ago 80s
Reeves even berated Tories for thinking about raising NI for Businesses because it is a jobs tax then gets into office and does it in conjunction with raising minimum wage. 😂
Bs about food prices 4% 10 % How ? 2020 400 grams of block butter =£1 -20 p by 2023 = £4.00 - how’s that a percentage?
She done herself in and us
Labour understand the maths on a basic level.
They see the taxpayer as a shortcut whilst in power.

Is this all down to Us being Far Right.
NHS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE EXPERIMENT THOUGH IS IT
truss was stiched up by the banks because they wanted their old mate sunak in popwer
wtf watches the bbc
Labour have never been able to run the economy
Just over 400 years ago Spain finally managed to kick islam out of its country ! Why approx 414 years later are our politicians dithering ? Grow some b a lls Britain.
And….. stop interrupting your guests. It’s rude.
Could it be possible, that, with the devils dust being still in his nostrils, him being forced to inhale the same and the same with the alcohol? Just saying the injuries and the animal like sounds being heard at the hotel could he have been held and forced ?
Talk.....Please get someone who can speak English to compose your titles. Run, not ran.

Julia, I do like your show, but please let your guests speak. The ratio of host to guest speaking time is so out of whack.
Channel 4 as well. Sick of woke news. They just lost a viewer.
Welcome to socialist economics
Ai should control government
