Rachel Reeves could not have done worse than this

If Rachel Reeves wants to go down as one of the worst Chancellors in history, then she set about establishing her claim with yesterday’s ‘blame the Tories for things we all already knew’ speech. When her ambition is to penalise pensioners but let the rich off tax increases, you know how badly she’s misjudged the mood of the country.

    Where is the opposition to making the poor poorer 😮😮😮
  • @Dave1975-n2o
    No austerity for MPs, free heating and second houses, expenses and of course subsidies on food and booze in parliament!!!
  • @dereknash3638
    Another squeeze on pensioners, next it will be a tax on savings. What also annoys me about her, is the way she talks it’s a bit like a headmistress talking to her pupils and there are some rubbish head mistresses around.Its all very clipped and we have got this crap for another 5 years.
  • @TheSynthnut
    It's like we've learnt nothing. There will be no growth without more spending,it's not about balancing books for goodness sake. What a wasted opportunity...
  • @TerryTerryTerry
    We cannot afford to support MPs to the level of luxury that they enjoy at our expense. We cannot afford the House of Lords at all.
  • @joegibbs448
    "If we cannot afford it, we cannot do it" Racheal Reeves 29/7/24. It looks like there is going to be a lot of disappointed people over the next five years....
  • IT WAS SHOCKINGLY SHORT SIGHTED AND LACKING IMAGINATION I genuinely thought she would be better than this - this was my worst suspicions confirmed
  • @JasonK-gt8tm
    I understand that the State Pension is a "Benefit" but, with just over 49 years of full National Insurance contributions and less than 6 months away from being able to claim my State Pension, it is now under threat. I work hard and I save but I'm not wealthy. Now labour will give it away to people who don't and to people who shouldn't even be in this country at all!
  • @ColinMill1
    This will hurt most those working class people who contributed to a modest workplace pension and are receiving a small additional pension that just takes them above the pension credit limit. A disgrace.
  • @Rattlerbrand
    stop foreign aid ,stop giving money away , stop MP,S CLAIMING HEATING ON EXPENCES , STOP THE WESTMINSTER SUBSIDISED FOOD AND DRINK IN THERE ,WE CANT AFFORD TO FEED THE PIGGYS ANYMORE , GET YOUR SNOUTS OUT THE TROUGH
  • @milzijex7340
    I am not funding Ukraine. She should be ashamed of herself cutting the fuel allowance. I didn't vote for these cranks.
  • @lrsco
    Labour voters were told all these things about Labour and despite opposing, they voted Labour anyway. Why?
  • @johnhowarth8822
    She’s gone for the soft underbelly of society. Is this the first example of means testing pensioners by this bunch of numpties. I thought the Labour Party was created to help the working man/woman against such accounting.
  • @masere
    I see we still have £14bn for the foreign aid budget ever year though.
  • @daveclayton4090
    If you believed that when they got in they were going to stick to their manifesto, you are naive 🤔.
  • @moonstomper68
    I'm going to have to go through the Labour manifesto again, I must have missed the section on austerity and shafting the pensioners.
  • We could save tens of millions of pounds by only paying MPs the average UK wage, removing their subsidised bars and restaurants, and capping their expenses claims.
  • @user-qj5xl4hy5q
    C'mon Rachel stop taking the money from an easy target ie pensioners and disabled and have more guts and take from the Bankers and Big Business bosses bonuses for doing a poor job. Disgraceful Rachel and Labour. We need a Chancellor with more guts and vision for this Country and this is not Rachel.
