The latest ONS report for March 2024 showed that average weekly earnings adjusted for inflation ( excluding bonuses ) were only 3% higher than in March 2007. The past 16 years of stagnation in real living standards has been the longest since WW2 !!. Less gaslighting please !!.

She's no 'Lady' !
Yes, and the others 👍
It’s absolutely shameful
Mone is no 'Lady' ! In title only, and even that was given to her, possibly because she gave a number of 'members' the old five fingered knuckle shuffle to ensure her place in the HoL !
Everything has gone strangely quiet about her of late, but then again, we have all been distracted by other, more recent matters - all part of the game plan of course !
the jobs you have created are zero-hour contracts agency work or part-time work
That is not job security for anyone

@@maccagrabme all you have is saying "labour will be worse" without any evidence of that actually being the case. At this point nothing can be worse than the Tories, they've done nothing but run the nation into the ground for 14 years.
Other countries governments dealt with the enrgy price hike without passing it on to the consumer and industry. That way they were able to keep inflation down. Ours let the oil companies make a fortune - guess who has shares in the oil companies???
High prices in supermarkets are being maintained for corporate profit alone. We're paying the same price for items that used to be double the size. Nothing more than pure greed.
Use a farmshop.
There even more of a rip off farm shops

This blokes in la la land!! Too much money and no sense!!
The last 3 years of inflation has been over 20%, nobody's pay has kept up
Usual bull💩from Hunt.
You're envious of him.
And good morning britain
Plonka. Inflation will go back up again, when we put our heating on in the winter.
That's not how it works. They are using smaller weights in products, watering down and using cheaper components to hide the real inflation figures but energy costs are measured accounting for seasonal changes
A fall in inflation does not mean a decline in prices, but means the rate at which prices rise has slowed.
Indeed, inflation spiked at 11%, leading to massive hikes to food and energy, prices haven't dropped. It now sits at 2.3%, so prices are still increasing, just a little slower. Add to that high interest rates hammering mortgage owners and borrowers, and that water companies want to put bills up by between 30 and 91% and we'll all be even worse off in the coming years.
The tories have trebled the national debt. It sits at £2.8 trillion, so the interest payments will hammer the government, whoever is in charge, also add in the Post Office scandal and the infected blood scandal. How will the victims be paid when the country is broke?
Since 2020, my wage has certainly not increased by inflation. Much less than half inflation more like ! And £250 more on my mortgage thanks to the disastrous Liz Truss makes me much worse off financially. The solution price and rent caps. Just like other tories Jeremy Hunt does not feel these shocks due to his great wealth and could not care less about us struggling. Tories out.
Do your homework. If Liz had been left to do her thing we would be coming out of the hard time now. As it is the establishment got rid of her because she was exposing the corruption etc. Now Hunt is in an lying to us all about everything. He's even using Ukraine as a deflection. Unbelievable 🤦🏻
Mary Mary Mary 😂 do you take any responsibility for your life or is it always someone else’s fault!
INFLATION WONT COME DOWN , PRICES WILL STAY THE SAME BUT GO ABOVE THAT SLOWER THAN BEFORE, SO WE ARE STUFFED
I seem to recall he was in charge of the NHS when they were saying it was being systematically destroyed!
They need to raise the personal allowance threshold. Work hard and your taxed heavily. 😢
"We make the hard decisions". Literally your job in running the country. Not an over and above
As an nhs worker, I have not had a pay increase/ in line with inflation for years. My outgoings are double what they were a few years ago. The conditions are worse.
What planet is this man on?
Either pay the staff an acceptable wage or expect us to continue to flee to the likes of Australia.
Not true!!! What about your tax payer funded pension also
with you saying you haven't had a pay rise in years , have they gone up in say the past 5 years ?
The moon ! and he does NOT care .
My family and myself emigrated to WA last year. Cost of living has affected people worldwide, not just GB.
If petrol/ diesel prices don't stop rising the price of everything doesn't stop rising. Lower inflation rise is still a price rise .
40% of our diesel came from Russia, be proud that you are supporting a western backed illegal coup in Ukraine.
£1700 doesn’t even cover my energy bill hike. Absolute 🚀
Two shocks. What about Liz Truss's disaster causing interest rates to rise.
Let's hope we never see a Tory government every again!
Tories are better than Labour and much as people think it is cool to hate on the Tories reality is they are doing a good job as is Rishi, but I do believe that Priti Patel would be even better as Prime Minister.

Half of energy bills? Whose bill was paid with £68 a month. What a joke.
hes living in a different world to me ,im so much worse off under his goverment ,he has no idea of what people are struggling with utter joke of a man
🎶🎶🎶🎶 tell me lies tell me sweet sweet lies🎶🎶🎶🎶
He didn’t answer the question out of touch with reality
You've got control issues.
It's not just that Hunt lies whenever he speaks. It's that his smirk reveals a certain delight at using reasonable questions to misrepresent the truth and to advance his agenda by politicking. Then there's this rage, followed by a horribly unctous false courtesy, if for once in his life someone doesn't let him have it all his own way. He's a disgusting piece of work.
Imo he is a psychopath
sociopathic tendencies
That smirk has a name , it's called duper's delight.

We have a larger economy than France so don’t worry about them
Were just coming out of a 2 year recession in which living standards fell by an average of 4.2%
This and the fact that this is the 1st time in political history that people are worse off than they were 5 years ago.
Things have been degrading since the early 2000s. Covid mearly accelerated it.
No, the degredation began in 2010!
@@bereal6590 your talking waffle. Partisan waffle. There all the same. Neither party represents us and both push us in the same direction just from different angles.
@@ricardosmythe2548 i don't waffle, I look at tangible facts. It is a fact that wages are lower taxes are higher and public services have been degraded since austerity began. Clearly you don't work with facts and see yourself as someone who is non partisan and not a part of actual reality
Nothing to do with the economy shutting down for 2 years as a result of a pandemic of course!
IM PAYING TAX ON MY PENSION BETTER OFF DON'T THINK SO.
I'm paying tax on my sick money..ESA for 3 weeks £264.. I was ill 5 weeks..now they want to tax me £296..DWP.. what is this government doing to its people...but then again KARMA IS AWEFUL WHEN SHE STARTS. AND SHE WILL..bet they all abscond once voted our.. to their one of many villas
It's always been that way my mam retired 20yrs ago she had a small private pension it gets taxed as does mine it won't be any different under labour
What a hunt.
Heading in the right direction? he forgot about the stealth Tax!
It's a Tory thing,they cant help bullshiting.Sunak might struggle with rent now and then😂😂
Pensioners are extremely badly treated…. Concession by concession is being taken away from them !
Wages have gone up he says ....but not inline with the inflation rates we've experienced !!
An extremely rich man is telling us, everything will be alright because prices will eventually come down ..if you re-elect us again, no chance whatsoever!
ITS A BIG CLUB AND WE AREN'T IN IT 🤯
What utter BS is this Tory liar going on about. Tories out by the end of this year for sure. Let’s see them party then.🎉🎉🍷🍸🥂
Hunt we've been in power since 2019. 😂😂
The right direction for these Tory boys is the exit door.
Reid can't show any sort of impartiality
Hunt couldn't care less.
He cant help being a hunt.
@@zog97xy 👍Once a hunt always a hunt 😂
he needs to live on benefits for a while and see what its like!
Sunak phoning Phunt to let him know he's calling an election and no longer has a job 😂
My carer had to repay £5000 because they earned 69p too much. DWP are Gestapo.
A lot of the fall is energy, food prices and other prices are rising more than 2.1% it it depends what you buy how much inflation affects you, juice for example has risen more than champagne. The question is why did we have the highest inflation since the 1980's and wondered as many have pointed out it have naturally fallen anyway? We are just out of recession people know from their own experience everything is not super smashing great at the moment except the rich like Sunak.
"Wages have gone up"....... dude......
So have our taxes dude
Ok he just let the cat out of the bag... because our wages have gone up, they keep food prices up. Every little penny they take from your pocket. Nasty thieves.
I’m earning less now than I was 10 years ago after being made redundant twice since Brexit due to fact we couldn’t trade in EU anymore. I don’t feel better off
Fuel prices are excessively high and that affects the price of everything that has to move, including people going to work.
Those two economic shocks he's referring to were done on purpose!
Everyone wants more, more, more. No matter how much people have, they always feel they _deserve_ more. The overprivileged are destroying the ecosphere and endangering their children's futures so they can possess more than they need to live and be happy today. Humanity's future is rapidly being consumed by people with better lives than 80% of the humans struggling to survive today. Humanity disgusts me.
Maybe he needs to start going home with a 2k wage and see how he copes
They keep spelling 'Hunt's ' name wrong . . .
I know, right - it's like people don't know where the letter 'C' is on their keyboard ! 🤣
The Gaslighter General.
By a study, families in UK were capable to save on average £500 per year more than families in Germany. Now families in UK can save -£2000 per year lesser than families in Germany!!!
Is it the rising standard of living in the UK??? When everyone is on the verge of collapse and unemployment is rising? God bless Brexit!
Unemployment is rising due to minimum wage going up, the tories did this knowing that squeezed employers would let staff go, as it's the employer that pays that hike not the government.
This is a joke, wow
Prices still rising at 2.3% on top of the last three years of higher increases.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Children going to school starving. He and his Government should be in Prison.
It's the parents fault, not the government.
He's not lying. It's getting better for the people he cares about, the rich and Tory donors!
Since when did prices and wages equalise????
All I know is that since 2010, bank interest rates dropped to near zero for many years allowing me to make overpayments on my mortgage and pay it off early. Now, retired, I am living very comfortably with both my state and private pension I worked so hard for during my career. Thanks guys 😊
No feeling, only AI talk....
Inflation drops 2.3%. Considering it was up at 10% for a significant period of time... It needs to be about 1% for a good couple years to bring things back into line. The damage has been done, unfortunatell to mortgage rates. Only people to blame are the tories.
Bought 2 tyres today which I put off from last month: Were £130 each now £142 each - a rise of 9% in 1 month. But good to know inflation is only 2.3% per annum
We also had brexit.
"WHY" do the public believe ANYTHING the MPs tell them, once ANY MP opens his/there mouths its All Lyes. Myself I've STOPPED voting because Nothing well ever change the MPs wont the job because its money in there pocket that all it is they COULD NOT CARELESS ABOUT YOU/US !!
all a big scam
My wage has not increased. Where is this wage increase? Oh sorry, I forgot, I am a pleb. Probably won't qualify for those juicy tory "benefits".
She earns £700k a year and she’s trying to pretend she’s one of us 😅😂
Some people who come from working class roots, don't forget who they are. Some people (Tories and Tory wannabees) sneer at the plebs. Got it?
I just think it’s a bit embarrassing of her to claim she understands when she’s a multimillionaire
I wouldn't say she earns it, she simply gets paid that, regardless !
Be grateful she is using her voice for good. What she earns is pale in comparison to the person she is challenging!
Look at him gulp when he’s asked about the insane food prices .
He’s lying .
Wait til you see the profits made by the large supermarkets.
We Do Not Trust You Anymore . Why Does He NOT UNDERSTAND THIS !!!!!!!!!
Never trusted any Politician !
Well, if Hunt can`t even turn his phone off then how can we trust him to run a bath?
My company laid off staff this year and didn't give us a cost of living pay increase and cancelled our bonus. There is no way Hunt can convince me I am keeping up with inflation. I am poorer than last year and the year before. Living in the UK is an economic disadvantage compared to anywhere in the EU or US.
If avoiding responsibility was a person
Jeremy hunt = 🔔🛎🔚 (ban incoming)
Lies lies and more lies, petrol and diesel are up, as is all my shopping! How is inflation calculated?
Hunt's living standards have gone up, but for the rest of us our standards are going down...down.....down.....
Government cannot get involved with private supermarkets.
They could levy a windfall tax on profits above their usual threshold. Tesco made 160% more profits than usual this year, funny that isn;t it. This is a cost of greed crisis, created by the super rich who own your mortgages, food, water and energy.
Our Chancellor with multiple properties he lets, telling us all not to be so pessimistic about the economic outlook. £160,000 or so as Chancellor is his gross salary. He has the usual access to expenses of an MP (commonly £70k to £300k, for an office to be set up, staff etc). Let’s assume a modest property portfolio of five properties. Let’s take the rent as an absolutely nonsensically-low one of a two bed house in the North of England - so that’s £700 a month, x 12 = £8,400 and we’ve decided he has only five properties…that’s £42,000 a year from those, gross income per annum. This ludicrously low estimate puts Mr Hunt as on £200k per annum gross salary per annum plus hundreds of thousands in expenses if he needs it, WHILE IN WORK…however if he lost his job, he’d be on a mere £42k per annum gross income. No, he won’t be signing-on come June 5th 2024. My pension was capped in effect by my employer - they BLOCKED me from putting extra in while earning, ‘because then they’d have to do it for everyone’ (I said I’d do it without any employer’s contributions on the extra). So I exist on £400 a month plus any other income - no, I don’t have a handful of properties to let out. We’re to fend for ourselves, but our employers literally get to say ‘no you can’t’. Take care all.
How does the invasion of Ukraine affect our cost of living pls?
sanctions
Russia control alot of the pipeline for gas for Europe. Now they have significantly reduced that, it makes gas much more expensive as demand is high and supply is low.
War with Russia and Ukraine means it is a lot more expensive to get Oil, Gas, Wheat and Fertilisers.
If the carers, and they have, have saved the NHS billions of pounds, where have all these billions gone to??
