Jeremy Hunt: Rachel Reeves' argument is 'not credible and won't wash'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt has hit back at his successor Rachel Reeves and said she had privileged access to Treasury civil servants from January and could have discovered the £20bn "black hole" which has "magically emerged" since then.
He added: "If you're in charge of the economy, it's time to stop trash talking it. She should stop playing politics with Britain's reputation and get on with running the economy."

She’s lying through her teeth
Not a lover of Hunt, but spot on with this one
They lied and now pensioners will suffer, unforgivable
Funny how she couldn't look him in the eye, eye's down all the time. all a bunch of liars. We deserve better.
Guilt! She should have looked him straight in the eye with conviction. They are lying.
WELL SAID!!!
They is no £22 billion black hole, just labour doing what labour do, screw the people who have worked and saved, give it to the lazy and work shy.
tax has risen in real terms by 33% since 2010, also they borrowed 1.6 trillion yet nothing works everything is falling tp pieces
Question is what did they do with all the money, +1.6 trillion is double what the debt level was in 2010 now standing at 2.4

Labour lied. Standard.
How so
@@shazoids By reversing what they said.
They all, lie!
Labour always leaves financial mess.
Yes, my Grandmother alway's said this. She died in 1960's.
How guilty does she look ?!!!
I'm not a Tory but at least the tories never attacked the helpless pensioners
Of course they didn't (forcing them all to accept charity).
The jobs we have these days are no good.
Agree provided furlow during Covid 😊
Well said Jeremy for standing up for the British people and showing up Labour lies
Well done.ffs he's the one who left black hole don't give this man any credit he's a creep
"For a party to enter office and then declare that things are ‘worse than expected’ would be fundamentally dishonest.

I think she has just been found out, she couldn’t even look at him held her head down in shame
She didnt answer because she knew she was being deceitful
Looks like Rachel Reeves already has had her hand caught in the cookie jar 🤔☝️💯
The Shadow chancellor is 100% correct about the labour party
Don't really like Hunt but extremely well said 👍
He’s lying through his teeth - the OBR wasn’t given the full figures as they confirmed last week. The Rwanda plan doubled in cost to 900 million to deport 4 people, they lied through their teeth
😂
£ 3 trillion debt left by the tories 😂😂
@@Paul-eb4jp and literally nothing to show for it, whole Country is crumbling.
@Alex-rb3tb There's plenty to show for it but it's all banked offshore by the extremely wealthy.
How about returning migrants then we’ll save millions everyday
@@dorothykirby1928 she wants to keep them in our country, they feel sorry for them, all this building houses they are going to do, is for them, they are not for the British people.
Should of voted reform uk
I'm pretty sure keeping migrants saves us money. They are also essential for our economy
@@Sammy-qt9it Some yes, but the majority do not. They have caused our country a great deal of problems. And have not entered legally. They have to be removed, but this government are doing nothing about it. The people are sick and tired of it, and now we have got riots.
@@Sammy-qt9it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Got to say...formidable performance by Hunt
Wonder if she will be claiming her fuel expenses this year
It's disgusting she isn't fit to be the chancellor she is cruel, taking money from the most vulnerable. I didn't vote for them and I bet those who did regret it, the elderly she is freezing to death have families and they will never forgive this rotten government they should bear that in mind. Every last one of them that takes the second home fuel allowance should be named and shamed, while the elderly freeze they have heat and food they are a vile lot.
Jeremy Hunt should be the next Conservative leader.
He is a Paddy who came here to conquere and uses his power for his own means.
Wow! Wish Jeremy Hunt was so aggressive, clear, concise and vocal during his term! Amazing presentation... total facts, no fiction!
😂😂😂😂 hilarious. Anymore jokes
In her position as Chancellor, Rachel Reeves is acquitting herself in a way that no jury ever would.
Well said!!
20 billion wasted on illegal immigrants.
It was far more than 20 billion (Rwanda scheme) but who actually wasted this money? The immigrants or the Tory government ?
No such thing as illegal immigrants according to the UN. I'm surprised the Tories didn't want to take the UK out of that too.
@@DaveNeve Tories
@@Glassjar34 Maybe taking us out of Europe was a big enough mistake that they didn't want to commit another one.
@@Glassjar34And Labourites.
just wait until we get the “pay per mile” at the next budget 😡😡
Didnt trust him....certainly dont trust her!
Yeah ......shes a liar
Great comments Mr Hunt…the truth Hurts does in not Rachael?
What makes me laugh is she's a northern working class single mum who got very fortunate with the unions and ended up as deputy PM. She now persecutes her roots and is literally sucking of the public teet. But here is the best bit. She sold her council house and made a mass profit only to now scrap the right to buy for everyone else. Incredible! They are literally all the same in it for money and power.
😂😂
Rachel Reeves is a first class AH
Don’t trust the tories or Hunt, but i suspect he’s right on this.
Labour has had nearly four weeks in office and what is their record so far?
1. They're letting prisoners out earlier despite crime going out of control.
2. They've done nothing as yet to deport foreign criminals such as the Nigerian responsible for knifing an army officer recently or the Pakistanis attacking airport security in Manchester.
3. They've cancelled the only scheme so far to be able to remove illegal immigrants and have given an amnesty to huge numbers. [What has happened to the new law criminalising illegal immigrants?]
4. They've started a 'Green' company to encourage investment in 'Green Energy' that no-one will invest in.
5. They've made an agreement to pay above inflation rises to the salaries of public sector workers (average salary £45,000 per year) while reducing pensioners' income by £300 per year when the state pension is only £11,502.40.
What a bunch of sad Tory lies😂
Release Charles Bronson.
@@DarrenJamiesonJamieson - Or Nigel Farage.
Okay russian bot
I like that response. Can't believe it's less than a month I almost miss the last government already. 🤬
Labour have always been good at spending other peoples money. Get rid of this woman
Well said Mr Hunt
Labour u turn after u turn constant lies! Same spineless party, I give them three years max until the get voted out, with a lack of confidence!
I ONLY GAVE THEM SIX MONTHS
The £20b black hole is because of Labours additional spending plans, not the previous Tories spending plans. This was called out before the election. Labour is just trying to blame the Tories so they can raise taxes.
What spending plans? They barely had any and the Tories deliberately fked over the budgets by instigating unfunded NI cuts paid for by nonexistent savings on services.
Dont trust any of them anymore.
Labour liar's.
I believe every word Jeremy Hunt said ... she is a liar and she knows it
20 billion for illegal immigrants!!
They've spent so long talking and doing nothing that the people are tearing their own communities apart
So Jeremy Hunt and everybody else should know about the 20 billions shortfall but he still promised tax cuts?
Just 17 billions worth of tax cuts. Minor detail that. Just as unfunded as Liz Truss' mini budget. The party of sound money?
Before anyone listened to him, they should have remembered His 6years of Battering the NHS.
We were told before the election Labours plan wouldn’t work , didn’t add up . Would not tell us where the extra money coming from they needed for their plan .
voting gimmick that now makes him look weaker and even more untrustworthy
@@nickjackson5534 they are only in gov for less than a month. Don’t jump into conclusions. Tell me about it in 2026.
Theyve been caught out. And they dont like it one bit.
As usual the pensions hit first
Pensions or pensioners? First time pensioners have been hit and about time too!
Labour again being dishonest
Hunt talking about credibility?! 🤣🤣🤣
Shame on Labour. She doesn’t care about working people. Get ready for Tax rises.
Doesn't make him wrong though. Labour knew how bad things were, everyone did, then promised things pre-election knowing full well they wouldn't be able to deliver on them and could then just blame the Tories like Labour have always done. Two parties just playing the same games year after year.
@@nervesconcord Both parties made promises pre-election knowing full well they won't be able to deliver them. The only difference is Tories have been in power for the last 14 years and should have had the country set in economic position where promises can actually come to fruition.
I struggled to disagree with anything he said though...
@@andymrkipling?????!??
He has spoken the truth
Our pensioner are losing the heating allowance ,..because the government wants money for ILLEGAL immigrants.
I’m certainly no Tory, in fact I’m for Scottish independence. Be 18, 20 or 22 billion black hole, the point is there was always going to be austerity imposed, Liebour knew that, but they denied it during the election. Today’s was absolutely no surprise to prepared see through Labours lies
scottish independence talk in big 2024 xD
As a Scot I have no words for that 😂
The honeymoon is nearly over
So Hunt is admitting to knowing exactly how bad a job he was doing while he was chancellor?
He was Sunak’s Muppet. Sunak ran from the treasury once. Pulling Hunts strings was his open door to Leg it again.
@@JayneDay-u8dLabour is lying.
@@JayneDay-u8d Mistakes and shortfalls. Bit of an understatement for a near enough debt of 3 Trillion. Bad enough to establish a COVID corruption commissioner.
Exactly. He's admitting: 'We were lying our asses off but; its Labour's fault for not exposing our grand deceit!'
@@desmondroberts6034 Ha Ha Ha ! ! State of him today , he could be sectioned by the morning .
Why doesn't the BBC News broadcast this ?
BIASED
Will Rachel Reeves hope that the Labour party have gone when she becomes a pensioner? She must be thinking of getting the Conservative party back as quickly as possible.
Well at least a note wasn't left at the Treasury.
Labour had left a bigger black hole but have chosen to forget about it!
Well labour hit the ground running. Just like muggers do after targeting old people.
But Sunak/Hunt deliberating lowering tax band for pensioners to get stung , would have been ok.
@@joancooley1387 they was committed to the triple lock .
@@colinmelling6369 Don’t think they broke it. They reallocated the structure for claimants.
I remember the outgoing Labour Chancellor who left a note in his drawer to the incoming Tory Chancellor......."the money is all gone". They are all incompetent.
Conservatives are the best !!!! Mainly for Pensioners to start with.
He admitted it!
" I did a crap job, but labour! But labour!" 😂
@@DW-indeed And Labourites doing a worse one 🗣️
Hunt is literally saying, 'yes the situation is awful... yes I created that problem...'
@htasul But Labour did know the situation so why lie with all the pre election promises.
@@ThePixey1000?????????
ThePixey1000 but the point is they didn't.
The tories budgeted 2% payrise for teachers and that would be in the finicials but they new that they had been awarded 5% this leaves a blackhole of 3%.
What we are seeing is reported figures that have been fudged, look at the rowanda plan we now find it was going to cost 700 million to send a.couple of hundred people a year....
@@djstuc the bottom line is we as an electorate had a choice. Continue with the backwards and degenerate Tory party, or take a chance on a second option. Labour aren't going to wave a magic wand at our problems, but no party could.
Printing 10s upon 10s of billions to lockdown the country 3 times caused the problem, fully backed and egged on by the labour party.
Where’s reeves response???
Well said Jeremy!
Bravo! Well said
Jeremy Hunt is on another planet. no wonder he left such a mess
Merely a lying Tory it comes with territory
I do love a Leftie in shock when Labour are rightly pilloried. He never left any 'mess' as the IMF stated. Stop believing Labour's Bs....
Hunt calling others not credible? That's rich.....
Not as rich as he is.
@@TryDiy the comment I came to find😂
Why cut the clip there?
Well done JH !!!
Wow,I didn't think Hunt had it in him,good on him though.
Not a fan of Hunt, but he 100% nailed it 😉
She is pulling an illegal move, no mandate so breaking the law.
If this is about the Stonehenge tunnel the tories ought to have listened the first time by the court rulings that the plan was rubbish.
Clear case of hypocrisy. Those who wanted the tunnel, even though it could damage the balance of the stones. Then they go nuts when the stones are vandalised.
I live not too far from Stonehenge. The A360 was closed for months until recently, so the power cable could be installed in preparation for the tunnel. What a complete waste of time and public money that was!
@@trevorphillips3055 Agree. It should never have been planned let alone started.
Just knew the druids wouldn't get their tunnel!
The tunnel would of created more investment, to the south west and Cornwall eg growth
He is speakings the truth
Put simply Hunt doesnt like it up him and the 2010 old chestnust is as dead as the Parrot in Monty Python.
I am no Tory but Hunt called it before parliament resumed.
Spot on. He should have put his hat in for leader.
😮Well done Mr Hunt 👌👍👏👏👏😅😅
Now, I wonder why the Tories really wanted to take us out of the ECHR!
We really need to be out of ECHRto save Britain
Yet again Labour miss leading the public when it comes to finance. Incompetent even after few weeks. Much as I dislike the last Conservative administration, Hunt has nailed her to the Labour political financial cross.
The estimate on Asylum costs was 5 billion turns out its 7.5, Rwanda reported to parliment as 400 million now 750 and rising to 10 billion.
Last year they borrowed 130 billion, the uk books are in a complete mess
@@SlowhandGreg however no UK Government is prepared to say no to the ECHR and simply turn these economic illegal migrants away. Surely the fine, should we pay it, would be cheaper. We are being taken for idiots!
Funny that hunt saying the figures were there to see but if that was the case why did sunak not disclose the rwanda figures or other departments when asked for various costings by committees or enquiries. So did hide things imo.
Spot on. Even at the covid enquiry he refused to answer on finances.
Agreed, but at least the Rowander idea was something. But this dum cow has removed it, and put nothing in its place. And as I am writing this, a few more hundred has just got in. This cow has done nothing. We are worse of then ever.
Jeremy Hunt: "yes, I knew the hole was there, I created it, I hid it, but it's her fault"
He is so corrupted sadly!
Well done Mr Jeremy!
Another person where our late Queen would have said & I quote “Variations may differ”. A polite way of saying, she is telling lies.
Starmer needs to recognise that when he name called the Tories “Sleazy” he is no different
Labour scams a country
Why is it that Hunt was promising tax cuts? Because he knew he would never have to deliver and he knew that he couldn't. The real figures are now coming clear.
@@stephenconway2468estimated 5 billion on asylum real figure 7.5 billion, there's creative accounting all over the place the NI cuts were completely unfunded
Cant believe people voted labour they will worse that the tories we need refom
Ha ... Labour and their "fully costed" plans. Seen it all before. Here we go again!
They were fully costed. Tories lied about State of public finances.
Bot.
So why don't we hear the response?
Because her response was not answering the question, instead playing the blame game. Get ready for tax rises my good working people.

My, My My . The Brexit Party has just begun ! Any party poopers out there ?
I seem to think that Labour has forgotten about the 2 years of lockdown because of Covid, I’m amazed the shortfall wasn’t more!
Starmerdrama’s face is priceless!
Of course she lies traitors all of them
The scandal isn’t whether Labour knew, and C4 is being dishonest on focussing on this. Hunt is accusingLabour of being dishonest about tax rises, but the Tories were promising further Tax cuts, when they knew the money wasn’t there for the Tax Cuts they had previously promised.
The conservatives were not going to give massive pay rises double the rate of inflation to public services,which will cost over 8 billion.
@@phillipbarnett5810Its not a pay rise. Its a pay correction to account for the consistent real terms pay cuts the Tories inflicted.
@@sueelliott8085 It depended what taxes he would have cut. Hunt believed slowly as it goes, not what these idiots are doing, interfere with cold winter payments to pensioners, and causing mayhem to the economy. They were in opposition for fourteen years, criticised the Tories over Rowanda, and now they are in, doing sod all.
@@phillipbarnett5810 Yes and junior doctors got their 22 per cent increase, and they still going on strike. They want less hours, and seeing less patients. Yes the tax payer got a good deal, really.
Reeves clearly out of her depth. Hunt really dismantled her position
Starmer and reeves faces looks like they are cooking something vindictive
This is what happens when Labour support Tory Party Policies!
Hunt knows his stuff .Rachel Reeves should not have gone down this route .
The OBR are investigating the assumptions made in their own audit though, using information given by the Government of the day. Feed garbage in, get garbage out. The outcome of the OBR investigation will be something that will make the “no money left” letter (which was left as a traditional joke between incoming/outgoing chancellors) look good by comparison.
There’s always an expectations gap between what an audit does and what people feel an audit should do. It’s not an auditors job to ensure things are free from fraud or error, that is the preparer’s job.
