Truss U-Turn: Top tax rate cut 'not my idea'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2022
- The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has denied reports he presented Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng with a paper suggesting scrapping the 45p top tax rate.
Chris Philp was asked multiple times by Kay Burley whether he had proposed the idea.
He insisted he had been "asked to look at dozens and dozens of different ideas" but would not divulge details on "private conversations".

It brings a tear to my eye listening to the sincerity & honesty of Chris Phillips. A man of principle & courage who always does & says what it takes to further his career.
Just a tear? Not two?
@@HansBBJJ He only has one.
😭😂 well said
She pressed him very hard. Nice job done by Kay Burley. Politicians should be held accountable for their mistakes.
💯% 👍❤️
but also be encourage them to make u-turns when nessisary. When lives are at stake the worst thing is to have a system that encourages doubling down on bad ideas.
He had his lines rehearsed
@@paulthomas8262 Yes but they’re not backing down out of some sudden epiphany of self-reflective humility - they’re stopping with it because it was dividing the party and potentially wouldn’t even pass. The idea that they should even be remotely praised for this is sickening
@k they won't be praised for it, but at least they changed it. I can't believe it took them so long
Finally a good to-the-point interview on Sky. Well done Kay, fantastic questions.
That was probably her best perfomance ever. She really cornered him, he was completely lost during this interview.
Chris Philip is such a little worm of a man. "This is a government that listens." Proceeds to not listen to the question or and sidestep the question.
Can't have it both ways mate
I don't know this guy but my first thought I had was "what a worm" . Crazy . We must be right
Yes. A can of worms has been opened and they are going to get picked off as they wriggle around trying to pass blame.
Both ways? So socialists applaud and celebrate benefit scroungers like rayner. Labour unelctable
He listens to the question he likes in his head and answers that...
He's an odious wasp
Don't let them brush this under the rug. Don't let them try and make us believe they "Listen". They've been doubling down until the very end, and have only done a U turn when it's the very last option.
They still thought it would be a good idea and was pushing for it. The fact it was even proposed is shocking.
Everyone who voted conservative in 2019 voted for this, this is just conservatism at its core
Mmmm. Less "We've Listened", more "We didn't get away with it"
England is a failed state ...UK Energy Regulator Says Country Faces Blackouts Due to Shortage of Gas, Reports Say ..... Tax , don't tax ..during hyper inflation ...its not lack of currency ... but lack of "Real Goods " domestically produced ...btw .. Farm retort Europe / England ... 25 % down ..corn is not even good enough for cow feed
Shut up mate.
💯
Finally someone asking and re-asking questions that we want answering.
Kay was absolutely ruthless… it’s the best viewing I’ve had in ages!!! 😂😂😂
“ lying is an art form “
well done Kay, cutting thro BS

Sick of politicians dodging questions and talking absolute bullish*t to avoid telling the truth.
She is right. They are public servants.
They are supposed to serve the people who elect them to. Not themselves.
Well done to the interviewer for not putting up with it.
They are also supposed [expected] to serve the people who didn't necessarily elect them - they actually serve the status quo and represent them, back to us [yes, it's an US & THEM class war issue really]. Chris's arrogant, obsequious demeanour was a 'picture book illustration of this position beginning to implode!
Not telling the truth is the same as blatantly lying. It’s obvious these people have committed treason so should be hung.
She killed him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"This is a government that listens" !!! Good grief, the twaddle these clods spew out is never ending and simply insulting.
Laura K, please take note! This is how we should be questioning our politicians, well done Burley.
Laura K works for the BBC (who are in the governments pockets) which, in reality, means she really works for the government.
laura k the tory stooge? yeah good look.
Laura K is a conservative…she grills all the other MP from labour/lib dem/SNP but not Conservatives…it’s a joke
She's an embarrassment. She just seems to think if she takes the attitude of a stroppy teenager then she must be making a point. The only people impressed by her are some absolute idiots.

I hope this makes him disappear from my TV for the foreseeable future, he's unbearable. I enjoyed the squirming and refusal to answer direct questions. Bravo Kay 👏
I had a party the time Mick Linch called him a liar on air, one of the happiest days of my life :P

He is paid by us so therefore he should answer her questions not keep trying to wriggle off the hook.
She is brilliant don’t let him squirm out of it ,need more like her
She did such a good job! Awesome interview!
How embarrassing even though he could not admit it. These politicians are the worst people on earth. Can't even admit when they were wrong. Couldn't make their rich friends richer, how sad. This was his idea and now tries to shift the blame and divert with parroting about growth and all other rubbish. What a useless example of a human being.
A filthy snake comes to mind but comparing this man to a snake would be unfair to the snake.
They did make their friends richer though-crashing the pound made Kwasi’s hedge fund boss and colleagues, who had met the day the announcement, the night before, and at least one other pound, made them millions as they conspicuously had a strong short position on the Lou nd prior to the announcement.
She threw Kama Kwasi und the bus? Go figure.
Yeah they listened, once they'd wiped loads off our pension pots. General Election NOW!
No that was Brown

And that was the point she lost her argument.

Funny to see his nervous gulps when he realized it doesn't work at all
Uk doesn't suffer from economic crisis but leadership crisis
the tax crisis is that rich dont contribute.
@@UpRisingDown Amen to that.
@@UpRisingDown The truth is that 'The Whole Of The Land' is 'FREE FROM ENCUMBRANCES'. An Encumbrance is a Burden. The land is free from burdens such as Tax. See the Law of Property Act 1925.
@@feesimple388 so what does this mean for us smooth brains?
Make that crises. How many prime ministers have we had over the last few years?
Something everyone who has looked at this knows - there has never been a case where trickle-down worked.
There was a cap on bankers' ludicrous bonuses (where are the nurses bonuses?) because the bonuses were judged to be part of the cause of the Banking Crash. We still haven't paid the debts the bankers created thirteen years ago.
This is not about sound economics, it's about pure, unadulterated greed. It's about a political party that is financed by the rich for a very good reason.
This guy was called a liar by Mick Lynch about 12 times directly to his face in one interview. He didn't even deny it.
this was a pain to watch, the lying without even blinking, the shouldering aside of responsibility, blaming others - there must be a strong reason such people cling to power and its not the serving ones country.
Corruption is the system in Europe and worldwide in politics
I'm a newcomer to this show but have to say that this lady did tha finest job I've ever seen in deflating an obvious pack of lies and humiliating someone who has no care whatsoever for the majority of people in the UK.
She's absolutely crap most of the time. A broken clock is right twice a day, and the Tories left an open goal.
@@Neil-qg9cw i agree ive never had time for kay but she made this pleb look like an absolute fool
@@Neil-qg9cw - Well she broke Chris's clock-face. Mick Lynch had already dented it on air, though, unchallenged - by calling him "A Liar" to his face, repeatedly!
It’s terrible journalism
Talking like an angry Facebook poster isn’t hard
@@jackworsley2562 exactly, she had a chance to ask probing questions and gather new information. But instead she was happy to make him look a bit of a tit. Meanwhile the audience are no more informed.
Good job with the interview!!! I love her - girl is fire and speaks for general public in her questioning. ❤
Look at that smarmy smirk on his face. Like he's got a rotten oyster under his tongue. The face of Britain 🇬🇧
The loud gulp when asked how involved he was in the process speaks for itself.
Yeah ... 😂 ... Gulps like that speak louder than words.
He was scared she had very specific information about him.
Got to say your comment made me laugh 👍
A government that listens yet they didn't listen until they had too
The fact that this was ever their idea speaks volumes. Giving the richest a 5% tax cut during these times was ridiculous.
@@joaquin17171717 It's still an idea. Next time they'll just be quiet about it and get someone with an IQ in the double digits to do it.
Have they listened about bankers bonuses.
They don't have to do anything. It takes a brave person to admit they made a mistake. It should happen more often.
@@michaelpower4372 no, that would be another distraction...
Im really not a fan of Kay tbh. But my goodness, i have to applaud her on this! 👏🏻
Not usually a fan of Kay but this was fantastic
I like how Kay grilled him on the right topics. We need journalists like her.
Indeed and Emily Maitlis. Strong independent voices are rare in the media, so unfortunately they're easy to drown out.
Besides it ultimately doesn't change a thing.
What we would like to see is a general election actually….This government has got to go. We should have a general election in November so we can start the new year with a new government.
All well and good. But we also need massive change and a party worth voting for. Labour and conservatives are not that.
If it was fairer on smaller partys to get into power Id agree but we have labour In a blue tie at the helm atm (eco warrior woketards on both sides) so what's the difference and what's the point 🤷♂️
@@sikugord03 the conservatives are a scrambling government. Labour are functioning and competent. I don’t think a scrambling party should lead the country especially with the number of crisis we have to face. The Tory party need to get their house in order. And I’d rather they do that out of power than doing it and ruining the country. I say, hand the keys over to labour.
part of the 300 cabal traitor starmer
That would be "Responding to public opinion, the thing that the Tory Party always listens to"!!!😁😁
This was the guy who was ambushed with the Benny Hill theme. It should be played anytime he appears on radio or TV. An utter circus performer.
I literally thought she was going to make him cry! Good, the stunt deserves it! 😂
I wish all interviews of polictians were this tough.
Funnily enough the ones with Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish msps usually r cos the little english seem to hate them. Poor little englander is ur arrogance and exceptionalism being rattled?!
Quite an example of an interview by Kay Burley! My respect
Kay the shield maiden
Chris Phillip doesn’t like answering questions . He’s got something to hide .
That's how a tory should be interviewed push them in a corner and hold them accountable
They only cancelled the abolishment of the 45% rate because it was seen as being "unpopular", NOT that it is the right thing to do. Well, having the Cons party rule Britain is immensely "unpopular" so it stands to reason that a General Election should be called.
reducing taxes is the right thing to do....every single time...
@@deehaytch8442 bollox
I mean technically that has no grounding in British democracy so nobody is required to call any election.
@@deehaytch8442 what's wrong with tax? Isn't it the fundamental building block upon which civil society is built?
@@zergnub7426 I dunno, throughout history taxes have been used for other peoples ambitions.
but there is nothing wrong with LOW tax.
It's like watching someone in a maze trying to find their way out.
True, he should never have accepted Burley's invitation to enter the maze.
A rat
Useless line of questioning. Who cares if his idea or not. Should have asked about other parts that could be reviewed.
How uncomfortable was he, look at his body language! Well done Kate!
"This is a government that listens"? Really? Or only acts under duress?
To paraphrase one of Canada's greatest contributions to the world, "This is a government, but we can change, if we have to, we guess."
To safe their backsides.
If this is listening for them, I don't want to imagine when they don't listen... 🙄
I've loved watching him squirm, brilliant journalism 👏🏻 👌🏻
4:25 “it was your idea, wasn’t it?” 🤣🤣
What an interview……..I have the strong feeling he was wetting himself! Well done Kay.
If senior backbench Tories hadn't threatened to vote this down, they would never have u-turned on it.
They weren't 'listening' to us. They were trying to avoid an embarrassing defeat and a confidence vote.
A completely shambolic government, four leaders each progressively worse than their predecessor, its time they were voted out.
Tories are dead, if they cannot even argue strongly for tax-cuts. That is the central philosophy of conservatism. They should have doubled-down and put for ward the arguments which prove that tax cuts can increase government revenue, and they should reject "equality" as a valid conservative policy, it's the essence of communism.
That's what he said.
Nice job Kay Burley! It is good to see a mainstream news show host properly grill a govt minister. The mainstream press are usually quite timid with govt politicians because they are threatened with no shows if they are not. Ms Burley is one of those with enough clout to buck that trend, although she'll still want them on her show. My view is that if they don't want to be scrutinised then do not appear when invited, the show should invite opposition MPs and place a cardboard cut-out of the govt minister in a chair to one side.
She threw Kama Kwasi und the bus? Go figure.
The, "Okay thankyou, Kay" screamed "oh piss off"
This is absolute gold from Kay!
What a treat! I love that she won't put up with empty talking points. Can she please come to the US and teach our media how to talk to politicians?
The US needs it
He was challenged but still kept to his talking points...
Ha! Yeah i enjoyed this video alot. I just hope no one votes for these people.. The world is greedy and corrupt - it just becomes more and more obvious over time
She threw Kama Kwasi und the bus? Go figure.
Time for a general election. Let's see if the public want the Tories in charge any longer.
Personally I’d rather vote for the looney party but most the public are thick and will continue to vote Tory just to keep Labour out.

We do, Labour unelectable ayway
Sadly, I suspect we're stuck with them for another two years yet. It would be for the best if they went now so we can begin building a fairer system for all now, rather than dragging out the agony for another couple of years.
Amazing work from Kay and Sky, this is the kind of questioning of our rulers we want to see. They think they're good enough to run the country but squirm when asked to explain what they are doing.
Now just imagine if every interview was like this, rather than making it a party political broadcast
In the past 20 years it’s the first time I’ve seen a journalist try to hold a politician to account… it used to be quite common but not anymore. Well done Kay.
"It was your idea wasn't it?" *cricket sounds*
Sir Gulpsalot certainly took a beating there.
The damage is done, peoples mortgages have gone up, pound tanked, credibility trashed, no one will forget this
So yet another word that has a changed meaning - "unmitigated balls up" is now a "distraction". On that basis the Charge of the Light Brigade was one of the biggest distractions in military history.
Well done on making him uncomfortable and making h eat his words. Liars like this should be publicly shamed like this to show their true colours. I hope his friends and family see this.
He is a squirming little rat.Just a nasty piece of work full stop.
It sounds as though Sky News already have the paper. It would be shame if someone had leaked it. ;-)
Goodness me! The level of smugness and scoffing is horrific. Do they even know how their body language and mannerisms give them away entirely! It's obvious what they think, they think we're stupid and that they know better.
This government is beyond a joke. The only problem is that the labour party is not really a viable alternative - we need another option
His gulping and dry mouth says it all. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah ... 😂 ... those gigantic gulps, I thought he was going to swallow his own head at one point.
Squirms when he was asked to put his own name to it.
Well done for relentless interview.

Listen before the event not after the crash.
Inability to answer a direct question, that particular politicians ploy needs to be made illegal.
"It was some older boys who told me to do it, headmaster."
LIZ'S MUM: "Our Liz isn't the sharpest pencil in the box, headmaster. One really can't blame her for being easily misled. They even told her she was the Prime Minister. A thing like that will go to even a simple girl's head."
She wouldn't give up until she gets her answers, this is impressive. The interviewee should have been prepared to give up some things so as to reduce the pressure.
But they don’t… politicians are like rats… always trying to scape… responsability
He’s not cut out for this at all.
so it seems, so it seems
Is she there to find the truth or antagonise him. He already answered her question thoroughly even the process. Ideas get discussed and together decide

Big respect to Kay. Wow
This is when Kay make the word abrupt works in the right way. While her personality may be hard to take on in many occasions but this is certainly the right time because sometimes being assertive doesn’t work.
Nice push Kay… ‘it was your idea wasn’t it’ 😂
Doesn't matter who had the idea, the idea was stupid and they tried to push it through. Are they going to rely on massive public outcries in the future to stop all their stupid ideas?
This interviewer gives me joy she pressed the politician giving politician answers to the point he was nervous 😂
As the Chief Secretary he should have the courage and integrity to standby and admit what he has said or not have said, otherwise, he is not fit for the job.
Proper pushback from Kay. Well done

Oh dear. Chris Phelps is completely skewered having to defend both the idea of the tax cut and the U-turn.
