- Jonathan Brash, the Labour MP for Hartlepool, defends the government's actions, highlighting real-terms pay rises for public sector workers and armed forces, and increased pensions for former mine workers.
He acknowledged the challenges faced in the first four months, including the impact of the winter fuel allowance changes on pensioners, which he argued were necessary to target benefits more effectively.

Utter nonsense from an utter pillock. Let's hope Hartlepool vote this piece of shite out..
Please please please. Just listening to him, makes my blood boil. Get lost you pillock.
ok so mp's get their 2nd home fuel bills paid by us whilst they are stealing a measly £ 300 off of pensioners. this mp is as corrupt sack.of.s**t. as the rest of them.
Agree., they always seem to bring up the fact that rich people shouldn't recieve it whilst dismissing the fact thousands who dont get pension credit need it. Waffling on about insulation, she wants her heating on NOW. I wonder whether he's given a second thought to people in the same situation in his Hartlepool constituency cos believe me with that North sea wind chill whether or not you've got good insulation you still need your heating on.
My sentiments exactly.
Fuel prices have increased, utilities have increased, income has gone down, interest rate has gone down, yet the government are giving our money away to foreigners and foreign aid. DISGUSTING GOVERNMENT.😡
£500 million tax on farmers 😮yet we give foreign farmers £536 million in foreign aid , you couldn’t make it up 🙄
Stop foreign Aid
Then spend 5billion on migrant hotels haha
name checks out, comment legit :)
@@IeuanBevan. £15 billion on illegals tbh £13.6 billion on foreign aid £11.6 billion on aid to foreign countries to go green £13 billion sent to Ukraine I could go on 🙄
Unbelievable
Bollocks. You’re not fixing it. You killing it. You’re not better off as a pensioner you will be lucky to survive the winter.
Especially when it's getting to lowest right now between -4or-5 and winters only just set in
Starmer and the Labour Party wants the old age pensioners to die..
Billions squandered on illegal migration whilst our elderly freeze 😡😡
@@chris-vn6sw it’s terrible
6-8m per day, and yet they take away WFA, utter disgrace.
Disgusting Government policy
time to call the labour cabinet out not fit for purpose and a danger to life.!!
Starmer is a Chinese puppet
I absolutely hate the labour party, absolutely hate it
This is the first time I have truly hated persons. Strangely to me this happened 5th July 2024😢
Me too
Don't worry
Labour will not exist any more in the future
Hopefully gone by Christmas ❤❤

Justifying the unjustifiable.
One term MP......Reform next time Hartlepool....please.
That last vote was hard to justify but reform did seem the only credible choice. Those that voted liebour need to suck it up and stop whining their parents are dieing of hypothermia or the hospitals are full of illegals.
Starmer is a Xi Jinping lapdog puppet
Its getting more and more difficult to listen to any of these clowns in the Labour party.
I am really not interested in what any Labour MP as to say, they're useless.
spot on
Remember the tory mess over the past 10 years. I do't envy labour for the mass tories left.
I’ve just reached the same conclusion. Totally brainwashed.
@@davidbaker1454They always blame the previous administration for their failure to deliver on their rash promises, I well remember ban outgoing Labour government leaving a note saying ,There's no money left , that was correct except that they left a so called black hole almost thee times the alleged Tory one . Always the same with socialist administrations ,in the end they run out of other people's money.
It’s all excuses
So they tax 500 million from our farmers only to give it to South American, Asian and African farmers. You couldn't make it up.
Yep Brazilians who cut down the rain forests to clear way for growing drugs so they kill the carbon capture trees in Brazil yet we give them money lol can't make this up
Starmer is a Xi Jinping lapdog puppet
This winter will be freezing ,how many old people will die from the cold , Labour do not care .These people are your parent's and grandparent's ,callous beyond belief .
Yes - and these arrogant twats despise even the poor and vulnerable - even IF it is THEIR relatives. ¿¡¿¡
Its attempted mass murder, their own analysis said 4K would die.
You have totally trashed our britian.
Put in this and that Pensions up. We need the money now. £460 next year for pensioners broken down into 12 payments from April. Absolutely no use now
They are never going to fix NHS schools while they ebcourage ILLEGALS to come here.
Always blaming the last government
@LindaMcDonald-i7u
That's what the torries did when they were in. It's the whole system now, not just none or two parties.
@@LindaMcDonald-i7uLabour hasn’t increased the pension…the triple lock pension increase occurs every April. The Conservative govt brought that in, Sunak the snake looked at removing it, there was a huge outcry. This mob will get rid of it then pensioners can look forward to 67p increase much like Brown did when he was Chancellor.Labour does not like pensioners!
He doesn’t care….he’s fine on the wages he’s getting and the expenses he’s claiming. Makes me sick to my stomach thinking about the direction this country is heading with Labour in charge
Just a hard faced lying labour MP, raking in a fortune in expenses and wages , laughing all the way to the bank.
Enjoy your seat...you will soon loose it but not soon enough
Can't wait.. Disaster government
Stop keeping the migrants in hotels, turn back the boats.
How?
Ireland is doing it
Why do MPs get an heating allowance for their own homes
It's their second homes
They won’t be sitting cold in their houses🥶
Totally disgusting
@@GillianJones-q6qwhich they rent out
@@ChristineStanden easy - two tiered, two faced, and don’t care.
14 years Labour out of government, The first thing you people done, is to take money of the poorest? I am 71 years old my wife has cancer at 69 years old and we can't put the heating? We live in the northwest and there's snow on the ground outside, Because we saved and put a bit away for our old age and can't claim pension credits? So If you save and work hard and do what you think is the right thing we get nothing? I am with Teresa the caller we should have sat on are arse and not gone to work and get everything? I hope he his proud of himself and his colleagues?
I’m in the same boat. My heart goes out to you both. Every good wish to your wife who we all know should be kept warm.
@GMN360 ❤
Immigrants in hotels with heating, food,mobile phones and free bus travel ..
We pensions don’t get it….foreign aid …why
We send India millions in foreign aid. They have nuclear weapons and a space programme and their economy is better than ours. And our pensioners are freezing and our farmers are to lose their farms. This is actually criminal.
Love what he said NHS waiting list been waiting 3 year's to get my kidneys stones removed but illegal imergrimentts get private health care and put first worked 32 year's what they hell did I pay tax and national insurance for
min 6 weeks for 10 minute phone call with GP,,,
So you can be robbed like the rest of us , the council can't even afford to keep a leisure centre open here in Wales and every local authority councils are on the verge of bancrapcy and Labour have been running things here for decades .
@anglawilson7201
I feel so sorry for your situation and the complete lack of empathy and understanding from the Labour Party. I imagine most of the honourable Labour MP’s who have died are now turning in their graves. I know my late dad will be, he called a spade a spade and was a very honest man. We were brought up a Labour supporting family, but I totally despise them now and I have for a while.
My eldest daughter is considering homeschooling her children aged 4 and 2, and one is currently in school but not the other. She intends to put then through primary school so long as there are no issues, but wants to teach them when high school age. She is also considering paying for private healthcare which I can understand due to standards falling and many people waiting for treatment etc, but we are supposed to have an NHS where we have paid into a system where we should’ve have to pay again. It is unfair on those who can’t afford to pay.
If you are in a lot of pain, then why should you have been waiting so long for treatment? We don’t like to feel we are pushing in, but many will go into a & e demanding & sometimes get seen quicker when there problem isn’t always as severe as others.
As I have got older I am not as scared to speak up if I aren’t happy with something so if I was you I would perhaps say you aren’t leaving the doctors surgery or hospital until you are sorted out. Another option is to contact your consultant’s secretary to find out when you will be treated. I have done this in relation to my husband as he is under a consultant long term due to a chronic condition, and I always found them to be very good.
Also complain to PALS and try and get an end to your problem.
Don’t be scared to complain, others aren’t, as you are the one suffering with this.
Good luck, Jane.
@serenashaw-q3y I am waiting for a scan 10 months I've been told which should be up in January 2025. Let's see if I can get one then.
Jonathan Brash ... Enjoy your time in office... Another ghastly Labour MP
How can you have a conscience and be a Liebour MP? Seriously? No respect for anyone who even vote for these communists. Disgusting immoral people.
People of hartlepool vote this pratt out
Hartlepool made a mistake with this GUY, total PUPPET cares not a a jot.
STOP PAYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND PAY THE PENSIONERS
Full of understanding and compassion when dishing money out to foreign countries and their union mates,but zero compassion when it comes to pensioners, farmers,small/medium businesses and non Labour voters. They really are quite unethical and dishonest.
A boat person gets £4,500 plus for their keep.
They cost £40k for accommodation n food plus £49 a week for beer fags whatever they choose , no heating bills , no council tax lawyers n court cases free so I’d double that £40k
plus we are paying for his heating .....
@@serenashaw-q3y And the development of non taxpayers half a world away in India and China.
A month. ??
Today I heard each illegal immigrant costs us tax payers £40,000 per year! I have never earned that much in 45 years at work. I am gutted at the state of our once proud nation. This idiot has the brass neck to gas light us with platitudes. Disgusting. Starmer Calling us far right and protecting Muslims, I am ashamed to be British now.
The winter fuel payments being 'means tested' didn't surprise me, the Tories planned the same and Kemi Badenoch literally said it when the Tories were in power. Labour is the continuation of the Tories, as the Tories are a continuation of Blairism. As for Farming, way too many people are talking about this issue, who haven't a clue what they're talking about. The biggest lie is the one that this will allow 'new' farmers to buy this land. Official data indicates that a significant portion of UK farmland sold is converted for non-agricultural uses. Land agents like Knight Frank and Savills report increased demand for farmland for projects such as rewilding, renewable energy installations, and carbon offsetting, rather than traditional farming. Net zero is what this is about and big house building companies with a monopoly in this sector wanting a piece of the pie to build even more rubbish, lifeless, drone like new builds. Net zero and immigration needs to stop. Back the farmers and next time there's an election, whether local or general, you damn well vote Reformuk.
Are you being brainwashed. This Labour lot have done nothing but blame Tories for everything they are failing at..This Labour lot of liar's, said they had everything costed about everything they would be doing. They had fourteen year's to get plans together. They have no Idea on how to run this Country. I'm not surprised when the Chancellor of the exchequer lied on her CV. And certainly isn't qualified for the Job Starmer gave her..Starmer still hasn't sacked this fraud Rachel Reeves. She should be in a Police Cell for her lies..Boris Johnson only had a Birthday cake. Labour were screaming from the top of their voices for him to Resign. Labour are Lying Hypocrites. Starmer should have Resigned by now Mr greedy freebie..
The means testing is ok but to set the bar so low is criminal
The principle of means testing is not questioned because the wealthy pensioners will not suffer from the WFA loss.
It is the poorest pensioners who will suffer, and should not have been included.
Well said
He talks about handouts, these things who are meant to look out for us get 3500 per year heating allowance alone, vomit inducing these mp,s.
Dont you just love how the media dont actually hold these people to account?
BBC love these clowns
Watch Mike Graham, he gives them hell.
@@Reality6789 Mike Graham is on Talk Radio from 0600 to 10.00.
If thats the case why are the british homeless and vets only given a camp bed or a tent in winter no food no warmth no money, but yet ILEGAL MIGRANTS who have put nothing into our sytem get 5☆ hotel 3 meals a day cash allowance, also dailey visits from nhs Dr nurse and dental. But the british people get none. Please explaine.
Don't forget the free central heating And now; free private healthcare...
I've had to pay a fortune for dental treatment because there were ques of over 850+ people in front of me on the NHS waiting list in 4 different dental practices that i tried. But an illegal can get it done straight away.
They are looking after their new internal security force.
What a cretin.
It’s not his money. They should be made to act on behalf of constituents

This country gets a really bad cold weather snap and this government goes " Oh great lets put the cost energy up again" we can make more money and we will have less elderly to pay out too.
So this guy says that pensioners who are better off are not entitled to winter fuel payments yet MP's still get them while getting their large salaries. Disgusting...
One term party.It's the damage they'll do in five years will be horrendous.Hopefuly there dragged out by then.
Why doesnt this government raise money by severely cutting back on the money given to foreigners. As regards winter payment if it is to be means tested then why not align it to income tax ie everyone on basic rate gets the allowance but it tapers off the higher rate you are on ?
Sounds ok
How many people get allowances who haven't worked a day in their life yet pensioners who have paid into this country get sh*t on and are still paying taxes???????
Lots of people are not just the elderly
Then stop sending our money abroad to help other countries that don't need it and use it for our own UK people!!
We won't have energy security with labours policies, i have worked in the energy industry for 20+ years and what they are saying they are going to do is IMPOSSIBLE in their timelines, our energy costs will NOT go down we will end up with rolling blackouts/energy rationing, I have worked in both fossil fuels and renewables and we will never be self sufficient for energy with Labours policies, they're living in fairyland. We are at LEAST 20 years away from being technically capable and a further 10 years for infrastructure to be put in place, there is no point them putting in the infrastructure now until we have a settled technology otherwise it will all need to be replaced, when I hear politician like this guy talking it's soul destroying because they seem to believe this BS their peddling. As for saying we need better insulation in houses part of the problem we have with that if you have too much insulation that too can have a detrimental effect on peoples health especially in the summer months. It's so depressing hearing these politicians they are so ill informed.
Well l have also had 50+ years in engineering O&G and renewables worldwide, project engineering and management. I totally agree with your comments. They know nothing of how projects proceed with environmental studies, engineering costing, and declaration of viability, before final approval to proceed. A certain global vehicle producer has declared recently that they will no longer make battery driven vehicles only hybrids because there isnt the demand. Wind and Solar can typically only produce 10% of national demand - read Die Welt to discover the truth. Long distance power transmission requires High Voltage DC which is far too costly and indeed dangerous for onshore populated areas. One question which never gets an answer to is ‘how is the electricity produced and how can it perform peak shaving’ the answer isn’t wind or solar and Atomkraft Nein Danke is what is said in Germany.
@@GeoffHome-u6r I find it hard to believe that the Gov don't know what we have outlined, they must, but they are willingly lying to the public and scamming as much money out of us as they can, to finance a vanity project that won't work and leave us poorer and our energy supply under threat and back to the 1970's again under Labour and blackouts. I'm lucky I'm off back to the Middle East to live for the next few years with work but I despair for the UK and can't see me coming back when I finish working in the ME again.
Yes all these MPs just don’t know what the ordinary people go through.
@@clovermark39 I agree they don't have a clue, yet they think they know what's best for us!!!!!
@@sammic7492 Makes it dangerous physically and for the economy don’t you think, plus all the wasted meetings and money? Physics is not a respecter of Politics. We should all be on the side of the possible rather than the dreamers, unless you are called Canute. In which case turn back the boats.
Maybe to get an answer most of us wanted Peter could have asked " Would it not have been easier to take 5% from the foreign aid budget and use that for the OAP's fuel allowance? " Or " You say more well off pensioners do not need the payment, so why not have DWP only issue the WFA to those OAP's that do not have income of over £40,000 ? " No one would have objected to either of those actions!
Do not expect anyone to ask sensible questions ,you will only be dissapointed.
Because it obviously suits them to take off the vulnerable
Public sector pay rises whilst private sectors haven’t had one is not a win. Private sector workers pay for those public sector pay rises.
My pension is not a benefit. I worked all my life and it is my right to that money as I have paid for it.
You are correct but they don't see certain people as being useful anymore. A cruel society is among us.
£1 under the threshold you get help £1 over you get nothing
They keep saying those under the threshold are vulnerable. You can be pence over and suddenly you're not vulnerable !
And it's a ridiculously low threshold
Does this person really represent Hartlepool - he just speaks gibberish and makes excuses while old people suffer.
Waffle waffle waffle blah blah blah - Labour full of BS.
And there are mamy many more of these ...hundreds of thousands of them and hope you will be able to live with yourself sitting in your lovely warm house living well on your 80/90 thousand pound Salary paid for by hard working people of this country..Shame on all of you
The labour party should not be allowed the winter fuel payments its discusting pensioners are freezing to death and when pensioners pass away the labour party will be so much trouble

@@serenashaw-q3yall to make 2tier Keir look good for the WEF. Hoping for a billionaire job.

They do, they don't care.
STOP giving our money to other countries ...................what about the Heating Allowance the MPs Get who can afford to pay their own Bills

Never again vote labour. 50 year working plus army service,get shot of energy tax, net zero, this is a sad cold place to have to live in .
More Labour MP’s have to be asked for their views..?
If you are just £2 pound over the threshold you don't get "Winter Fuel Payment”🥶😡🥶😡 wake up Labour.
You can be pence over, and no longer vulnerable according to them it's ludicrous
I notice that Starmers pension is ring fenced and works out more than the average wage plus the million or so he already has in the bank
Wake up you just found that out
Plus PM pension now
Pay rise don't mean squat if the price's in the shop keep going up to compensate .
No payments rise costs going up is worse
Terminally ill at 82, no fuel allowance, £2 rise next year in attendance allowance and a bit over the threshold for any benefits, I’m his carer and still can’t claim anything . And thousands more in same situation, freezing cold weather. Homeless veterans Too, It’s disgusting .
We pay the highest prices for fuel in the world. Where the HELL is this obscene profit going?
I’m from Hartlepool I never voted Labour or anyone else but next time I promise I will be voting for Reform. Jonathan Brash voted for the winter fuel payment to be stopped known far well how cold in gets in Hartlepool and the Northeast of England. The people of Hartlepool will not forget that Jonathan.
Been as low as -12c in some places this week and people scared to put there heating on 😡 there is a reason that this lot weren't in power for 14 years. Should be voted straight back out at next election.
Re. his answer on the WFA: "I don't think wealthy people should be getting handouts..." Oh, really? What - like Starmer & Rayner et al? Pot & Kettle.
Another nodding dog! Just no answers ….
Why fo MPs.get heated allowance unbelievable
Our pensioners are not better off that’s for sure
A leader should do whatever it takes to saves it's own citizens lives even if that means stopping all foreign aid and reopening the coal mines
The Christmas bonus has stayed at £10 for 52 years. It's about time this needs to be in line with inflation.
Is it fair to keep the illegal immigrants warm, costing the country 16billion or more? Then taking away the British pensioner winter fuel payments who have paid their taxes for over 40 years. Shame on this liebour government to chose foreigners over the British pensioner’s lives.
Total bulls..t!
And pensioners who are £3.18 above the threshold for pension credit are wealthy?
Or pence over, as is happening
EXACTLY !! That's the argument I keep having with the "rich pensioner " trolls
He listened to Teresa suffering & he never even flinched just carried on spouting lies , liebour are vile little creeps , my 91 year old mum is freezing because of this horrible vile labour government I will be damned if I will let them torture my mother I am struggling myself but I will try to help her pay her heating bill , i hate this labour government I will vote against them every time in future
Labour and the OAP🤮🤮i will never vote for them
Net 0 they dont want you to put the heating on
They want to get rid of pensioners!
Animal farm predicted all of this.
Labour could do something about the winter fuel allowance but they choose not to do so. These are people who have worked their entire and contributed to this country’s wealth.
They keep saying they'd made the tough decisions...they have done exactly the opposite. They should be targeting the very very richest and wealthiest, not pensioners barely above the poverty line, farmers struggling to make a profit, small businesses....
But a lot have left or tied up money with financial advice
Why 14 years? Everyone knows it was only 10.
If I was younger I'd get out of it, as the Capitol and many Bigger towns now unfit places for Women and Young Girls . That's just to smart with
Sorry , i couldn't hear a word he said with his head plunged deep in the MP money trough.

What about the immigration? How much is this costing? Billions every year and you are still letting them come in? Why does this not get stopped and save the taxpayers all this money and put the money into something a lot better for the British people
at this point nothing matters what they have to say vote them out they've given local councils money not the people
the councils decide where it goes 🎉
No need for means testing if HMRC looked at tax and linked all pensioners who had cash coming in from either work or savings or personal pensions. Take the £300 from them but all the rest who have nothing other than state pension
Private pension of £85 pm - thank you for your suggestion
Our private pensions have already been taxed in earning them thanks. They're not all at the Kier Starmer scale - most people's just top up the state pension to a more reasonable level.
@ Steve I was more thinking about the gold plated pensions of former civil servants and top company directors who basically use their state pension for spending money
DWP knows exactly what people have. Coming in
Birmingham council threatened me if I was lieing they could see EXACTLY what I had. Then I got to see the statement.
I hadn't lied.
So no one gets away with hiding pensions
I have a small pension (works) I'm now being taxed on it.
Triple lock effectively not as it seems as some is being taken for tax.
Personal tax allowance needs raising 12570 is too low.

Please don't mention the black whole
Raised pension? My 87 year old dad's pension was 194 last Feb this week still 194 ? How does that mean u have risen pensions
Should have had rise in April. Query it.
These idiots really don’t get it do they, or they don’t want to get it. It makes me so angry, they don’t care. Don’t insult our intelligence, they made the decision to take away the winter fuel allowance😡. They could of looked at this next year but to take it away this winter with no adequate warning is disgraceful 😡
Exactly the could have left this until after this winter to give people time to plan for the cold weather next year, I'm sure they could have reduced our funding in other places rather than hit our pensioners. It makes you sick to hear all this verbal diarrhoea coming out their mouths.
@@earnie6511it's not about saving money. it's a revenge move because they think we don't vote for them and voted for Brexit

What!
he meant winter
@georgegreig2590 he needs to stop making mistakes otherwise Ali will not be happy
Im not sure Harold Shipman was good role model for Labour to model them selves on. Some of his sadistic tendencies seem to rubbed off on them.
He's full of spin and rhetoric totally out of touch with the reality of what's happening.
What extra pensioners get will be taxed its not a true figure.
What if your a yada yada yada, what if your a dead pensioner by March pal.
Stop blaming the conservatives you are doing naff all immigration
First impressions count, the start of the Labour has beena disaster. As for pension increases , inflation already up to 2.3% eating a huge hole through Labours claim they are suggesting they will give 4.1% next year, yet many will be moved into becoming a taxpayer because the thresholds are frozen
Spot on, tax hit me this year.
Losing WFA 200 plus paying tax
Will give me 160 for a year in 2025 effectively.
So that's my bread n milk sorted
Raise the tax allowance, give us a chance to cope !
Labour writ off about 60000 that had gone missing during their last government
errmmm how far east has NATO'S border moved compared to how far west russia borders have moved as from when the deal between them to not advance was made? IF china got pally with scotland and put arms on englands border what would happen?

Reform it before sticking more money in it!
Otherwise it’s gone in a black hole and you will have to find more money. Reform then the money you put in will actually do something!
