This is the woman who took a seven thousand pound gift to spend on her birthday party although of course she insists it wasn't a party.Where have we heard that before.Sickening.
How about not allowing every non contributing foreigner to take advantage of the NHS. As for the winter fuel allowance, I suppose that the government see the advantages of freezing pensioners to death. I’m a pensioner but my heating is on. If I can’t pay the bill, what can they do about it? Imagine the scandal if pensioners like me have their power cut off for not being able to pay, that will not look good for Comrade Starmer and his government will it?
Pensioners shafted, young kids ruined for life. This is just the start, I read today that 200,000 jobs in Retail are expected to go that's along with the 200,000 jobs going in the North Sea Oil Business. Its not going to take Labour long to completely destroy the Country.
Every labour mp when questioned sing from the same hymn don’t they, they all quote the same thing the elusive 22 billion black hole. Think they’ve all been given the same script.
@gillianhunt3871 Ever heard of Parliamentary whips? Ministers / Spokespersons agree with the leadership what the party's line must be about issues; whips enforce that among the wider membership of backbenchers. Otherwise we'd have total chaos.
@@biker-jy9rv This may come as a surprise to you, but it's rare - VERY rare - that a candidate for any political party is a perfect fit for that party's ideals. When you stand for Parliament, you consider the problems facing the area you'd like to represent, which you find out by talking to people, shadowing politicians currently working in that area, and researching / reflecting on the causes of the problems, which could be local or national, domestic or foreign, resulting from government actions or from government inactions, etc. Then you think about what you believe the right solutions would be, and then you consider which political party most closely aligns with how you're thinking. Whichever party you sign up for will have its rules, and will admit you in good faith that you will follow those rules, otherwise there'll be no discipline within the party and no way to focus everyone on an agenda for government or opposition. Obviously, there's no accounting for problems that don't exist, but might do in future out of the blue (war, disease, economic collapse in the UK or elsewhere in the world, natural disaster, etc.) and when or if such problems crop up, you could find yourself at odds with your political allies about how to deal with them. We saw that during Covid, with several Conservative MPs opposing their own government over things such as the length and severity of lockdown restrictions - my own MP at the time, who normally always toed the party line, voted against the November 2020 tier allocations because it meant that the hospitality sector (by far the biggest contributor to the economy in that part of the country) would be ruined by having to follow stricter measures than were deemed necessary by local doctors. So, it's worth keeping that in mind when you consider what an MP has to do when faced with a vote on a policy that will affect millions of people. He or she has to decide "yes, I support this" or "no, I don't" on the basis of three things: the party's line on the issue in question; personal conviction about what's the right answer; the needs and wishes of the electorate in his/her constituency. For Ministers (such as Bridget Phillipson), the party's line is non-negotiable - if she doesn't want to follow it, she could resign, but this weakens the government (which she obviously supports) and takes away some of her clout when it comes to tackling local issues for her constituents. For Backbenchers, it's easier to rebel, though you run the risk of having the whip withdrawn, meaning you might not get to stand for re-election... We've already seen quite a few Labour backbenchers going against the government (on Winter Fuel for example) in recent months, but the Ministers will toe the party line in word and action unless they really feel they cannot support their leadership. There are some MPs who don't have to toe the party line - Independents, who aren't members of any political party and only have to go by their own principles and the best interests of their constituents. However, we couldn't have a majority government if all MPs were independent... indeed, we'd very likely have no government, only chaos. It's very hard to get elected as an Independent anyway, as you have to fund your campaign out of your own pocket, whereas with the backing of a political party you can draw on their funding to support your campaign.
Correct. Without any qualifications you can become an MP, you can then ultimately become a minister of a department without having any experience or qualifications in that departments speciality.
No more foreign aid,return all illegals,charity should begin at home, remove starmers knighthood and tell Khan to do one, as far as expenses are concerned for 2nd or 3rd home's, they can forget it
Tough choices! The fact remains that illegal immigrants are being kept warm and cosy and the cost of accommodation to the tax payer is in the region of £5.4 billion/annum so is this an example of British justice (when pensioners have been robbed of their winter fuel allowance) or just another.example of comlete incompetence by this Labour Government?
As Nigel said: mentioning 22bn debt show you have zero understanding of economics. The debt is 2.7 trillion. There isn't a bad bit in the debt it's all debt. Labour have also had 14 years to look at the accounts.
Can anyone tell me what sacrifices MPs have had to endure, all politicians are like robots spouting the same old answers that they have drilled into them.
Stop putting the immigrants into hotels giving them heating, free TV then Labour could afford to pay the pensioners fuel allowance and maybe who would want to come over in a boat if you haven't got a roof over your head. A great deterrent IMO
Keep immigrants in hotels give them free tv free heating stop giving pensioners everything they had enough money for 14 years now its the otherway around turn
Oh, dont be mean . Give them a tent like the French. Ex army issue would be fine. With a shrinking military ,there are plenty spare. Suggest getting rid of the holey ones first.
She works for a private company that makes their own money so they can pay whatever they want. We'd all take it in a heartbeat so don't be ridiculous. It's not like their stealing front the tax payer like the goverment
I hope someone is recording the amount of pensioners being treated in hospitals so action can be taken against Starmer and his corrupt government for any deaths because of this cruel action
‘Through the budget, we’re investing record sums’. Yes, but, the economy is ‘tanking’. The ten year government bond yields surpassed that of the Truss-Kwarteng mini budget. Rachel from accounts is now looking at an emergency spring budget !
15 00 last year I was in hospital 8 times, put through the same process every time, mostly a waste of time, the higher the position the less they did, needs a big shake up, starting from the top. The workers are working
Same old tripe from labour, it's everybody's fault but theirs yet they find it so easy to punish the elderly whilst handing out cash right, left and centre to the same old people who have the support of the big unions who hold the country to ransom. These politicians in our current government are useless. Just for the record I started working in 1964 and retired in 2024 so I think I have every right to make these comments.
22 billion black hole 😂, there is always a black hole. Labour the last time they were in did the same. They sent sky TV to Africa so they could watch football.
US teacher here, teacher training in all areas. Classroom management, child psych, negotiations and of course, their field of study. I had great professors in my Education course. But, I see so many bad teachers. Just not trained well.
Why can't we take £1.7bn from foreign aid budget and give it to old people to heat their homes?
Exactly! And the money claimed by MPs to heat their second homes. Should be given to the ill and elderly as well.
Why cant we reverse the tax cuts the wealthy have enjoyed since Thatcher and use that money?
Israel won't allow that
two tier labour police mate
Because it's on an earlier set different budget.
You got the money to put up foreign young men in hotels though haven’t you? Men that have entered this country illegally as well. 😡
Well pensioners don't use winter fuel allowance to heat homes they waste money on other things
Excuse me, EU laws control immigration, not Britain's Government
@@Nickmedium UK is not in the EU 😂
@ivorharden Theoretical Britain is, having to oblige over 4000 EU rules, example ECHR plus still paying them millions.
@Nickmedium the ECHR is separate from the EU. That is why the UK is still a part of the ECHR.
Fed up with this tough choices and 22 billion black hole is getting very annoying they destroyed Britain in 6 months
Tories destroy Britain for 14 years
They keep saying it in hope others than the far left will believe it
It didn't stop them from paying civil servants £12.000 bonuses for doing their job, £22billion black hole or not.
Ed’s wife also choose to stop the winter fuel payment to pensioners 😮

remove MP s heating allowance its a joke
She is such smug lier. Her plans for schools are terrible. Stopping the fuel allowance wasn't a necessity, it was a choice they deliberately made.
Stop sending money abroad , then there’s plenty to give back fuel allowance
Why won't someone ask Starmer that question? I would love to hear his answer.

We will never see it, cos there isn't one
In there bank accounts 😂
Loss of tax revenue after the B word.
It's online..its very easy to see..it was published...takes seconds to see...hope that helps
cloud cuckoo land theres not one😂 just an excuse to raise taxes
“We’re ashamed of what we inherited” own up to it ffs for once just admit you got it wrong!!!
Notice how Ed makes sure Suzanne doesn’t keep asking her to answer the question, he should never be allowed as a presenter he’s too biased !!

Worst government we have ever seen.
They keep saying pay pensions 4.1 % not a true figure because pay back 20% of that in extra tax .
Mealie mouthed Liebour MP. She's on the gravy train and not getting off. Let's see how big her expenses claim is.
Any question asked 22 billion black hole 14 years of chaos or situation inhereted when will they take any responsability for anything
If Farage was being interviewed, they would have gone 100% harder on him!
At least Nigel replies with the truth
Did not have to fo it it was their choice to take away winter fuel allowance
So called £22 billion into the NHS
Please be AWARE half goes first into paying the NHS PENSION to the employees
Very uneducated for a education ministers
The free breakfasts for all children.Are the parents of these children means tested?
There's not an interview that these people give, where they don't answer the question, asked or ,they always blame the previous government.
How about taking away mp's expenses
