Shelagh Fogarty asks Tory Chairman about 'positives' from Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement | LBC

Lies and boats, thats all the tories have left to offer the country, they've robbed the public blind. Sunak wont make the next GE and we'll end up with yet another unelected millionaire, probably oberleutant Braverman or Penny Morbid, and it isn't politics thats ruined this country anymore, it's Britain itself, like the Tory party its eating itself from the inside, so sad.

Think I am listening to a party political broadcast on behalf of the Tory party

Do they really believe this BS he is churning out and not even a blush on his face

So with less National Insurance coming in, what happens to State pensions and the NHS?

{:o:O:}

Yes, everything is going swimmingly!!!!!

Might as well be listening to a yapping terrier. He makes about as much sense. Talk about rambling.

You can forget about Holden,after the next GE he will be gone,he only got in because the people of NW Durham were fooled by Johnson.

Shelagh,youre absolutely brilliant...well done

I just can't listen anymore

He is so irritating and so lying

Why are they rattling so long most of it is word diarea

There is no positive about Hunt 😏

Bet he doesn't post on X, doesn't even know the name of the platform. What a muppet; just spewing Tory lies over and over.

How can you cut National Insurance and the claim you are going to increase state pension? Excuse me, but if I take £1 pond off you today I cannot give you £1 plus investment next year. You are being mugged

It's 80,000 BC.
You are immortal.
The world is still frozen in an ice age.

You decide to save $10,000 EVERY DAY, never spending a cent.

82,021 years later, it's 2021.
You still don't have as much money as Elon Musk.

TAX. THE. F***ING. BILLIONAIRES.

Upward mobility is frowned upon with this gov. Consolidation of the rich, the ever growing gap of the haves and have nots.

Richard FYI, it's Preliminary Business Case (PBC), Strategic Outline Case (SOC) and then Final Business Case (FBC) 👍🏻

Richard never really nailed public speaking, pure word-soup. No idea what he's saying.

The British empire is crumbling

An extra tenner a week in a nurse’s pay packet get the champagne out!! that’s the tenner gone already

Only problem is that multiple studies have shown that companies almost never invest in new research/products, wages or hiring. All they ever do with the extra cash is share buy backs, executive bonuses and increased shareholder dividends. It's a garbage theory like trickle down which have repeatedly shown to not work no matter how many times they try the same thing. Public services like the NHS and education are already massively underfunded and they will use these tax cuts as an excuse to cut programs and funding because they can no longer afford to pay them. Pure and utter garbage.

Really pleased that one of the best things for the people he could offer was the fact that they have massively reduced a project they committed to years ago ahem HS2 *ahem*. Looking forward to when HS2 stops before it reaches the M25.

Nobody travels by bus 🚌

This guy tweeted a graph that looks like an increase in spending. Whats right? Can this be addressed?

Forget this muppet real question for us is if labour win the election and they increase NI back to 12% for public services are we OK with that.
Because last time Blair increased NI we got 2 months waiting in the NHS.

He is lying about funding of the NHS
Blair had it at 7% per year
Brown 5.4%
Cameron 1.4%

Wouldn't a infrastructure revamp help the Auto makers . construction. Supply companies. 1$ government spending in the US brings 2$ from private sector

Junior doctors have been treated very badly by Tories which is why so many have gone overseas to ply their trade. My daughter sadly is working overseas and is being paid 50% more than what she would be earning here.

But can I get my company ID to get me discount on my shopping,like a Blue Badge ID?

The UK is a high tax, low value society.

Does anyone actually listen to what Tories say anymore?
It’s a futile exercise in self deception.

Never trusts a Tory - rob Peter to pay Paul, give with one hand and take with the other

Tory Britian, businesses first, people last. 😠

At this point its just a question of if you still...... SWALLOW.

He is less credible than Hands and that's a very very low bar

If this wasn't so sad, it would be quite amusing watching these Tory charlatans losing the will to live. Even THEY don't believe their nonsense any longer. I hope each and every one of them lose their seats.

So much spin from this fella, he seriously believes we will believe it.

How much of this massive health bidget goes straight into the pockets of private companies as profit ? Why does nobody ask this question?

Capital investment! That's just slang for making the wealthy wealthier... it's a tax break designed for businesses to invest in training staff, employing more staff, investing in equipment, etc, but most of it will end up in the pockets of extremely wealthy. I doubt we'll see any worthwhile growth in employment or up-skills of workers, but I guarantee we will see CEO's salaries rise and investors dividends rise.

No increase in Personal allowance this affect the most vulnerable the most with increase in pension then government clawing back much of that increase by pushing lots more pensioners to pay tax

Over £500 a year in your pocket from reducing NI is about £9.60 a week, peanuts. And I’m sure that will soon be swallowed up by other things rising. Energy bills are going up again in January for instance.

Please, please, please give us a general election

I am 80 years old . I worked 60 to 70 hours aweek before retirement .I paid a lot of money into company pension . Paid into serps . Paid into private pension when made redundant
My total pensions State pension private pension is less than the minimum wage ..up to now I am paying 20 tax on all my pension s and serps
When we get a raise nex year I will be paying tax on the state pension if threshold for tax stays as it is .
How can that be fair when the min wage is
More than my income the
I have never claim any money of the state
But those save and work hard for there retirement get penalised
Those who don't work
Hard get made out for
How can that be fare

Ok so quick break down. That 2% in national insurance is irrelevant because they froze increases in the income tax threshold so by next year it will be wiped out by inflation. Meaning taxes are still going up on everyone. All the 'investment' is in the form of tax breaks for private companies. Meaning the majority will go in investments that would have happened anyways. No one is gonna splurge at the moment because there just isnt the spare private capital. The things that really need reform such as business rates and council tax (which hit small bussiness and low income households the hardest) are being left alone. The tax traps on high earners are being left alone. This budget basically cuts taxs on institutions and the capital rich at the expense of professionals small business and the poor.

How do we make politicians work more productively? How do we punish them for stealing from us or wasting our taxes?

Tory billionaires and millionaires have and use private health... they don't need or use the NHS. The reason why the NHS is in decline is because the decision makers don't benefit and therefore not concerned about the majority of the population who do rely on the NHS.

Everything that he says, sounds like trickle down economics to me… Which has always worked flawlessly and unquestionably to the benefit of the broader public, right?^^

Should've had James O'Brien interviewing this charlatan. He wouldn't have let him off so lightly!

Do politicians have a list of adjectives to use when speaking, ‘big, robust, really, huge, fully, incredibly, record, massive’
