IN FULL: Rachel Reeves makes first speech as Chancellor 

Yeah like the Tories did our village in green belt swallowed by 1000 new houses ....none affordable all over 325k so this isn't a Labour thing .

@@pip1723 the UNIPARTY presides, the City of London Crown Corporation thanks you all for your continued engagement !

Troll

Yes a strong mandate from the people unlike the last twoPMs.

agreed, the country can unite now. I've not seen a grown up government that can welcome the opposing voice for many years. Embrace the post-populist era!

Where! 😂

😂

@@user-wj7cv9hb5jShe’s got an MSc in economics, and worked at the Bank of England and HBOS. She has also held roles in the Treasury and the Dept of Trade and Industry as a shadow minister. What about your qualifications? Are they better than hers? Are you qualified to judge how expert she is? And, of course, has she ever crashed the economy or given dodgy PPE contracts worth millions to her mates? Perhaps worth considering these questions before you humiliate yourself with a stupid baseless comment.

@srp01983 simple reply my leftwing extremist friend. Janet Yellen and powell, gord Brown 'no more boom and bust', the inflation is transitory. More qualified, more data and still screw up. 10 economists in a room at least 20 theories and 0 to 20 will be right. Given labour's history with brown and actual experience of labour cracker economics certificates.. I think thw sway of evidence is far against her. Only an msc as well... pretty poor pickings if she is the best labour can call.upon. Good job carney is coming to help, at least he can be the adult in the room. Fml what an idiotic reply.

Qualified to look after the bankers and funders behind the developments and the endless mortgages. We’ve eaten [####] for years, let’s eat more and see if we finally get the taste

I'll believe it when I see it.

wondered if she'd promoted herself.. i thought she was one of the cross referencers/backroom staff for the actual chancellor not the actual chanceller? anyhow; good luck.... get on with it.... and let's see some differecne.

14 year's of Tory austerity measures and Labour are meant to turn it around in 5minutes lol.

@@pip1723Comments on ‘IN FULL: Rachel Reeves makes first speech as Chancellor’ 1501pmm 8.7.24 THE SOB STORIES ARE GETTIN' TIRESOME. though some think 3 years of inconvenience is enough for revolutionary fervor... some of us (booh-hoo et cetera et cetera) have had nigh-on 40 odd years of austerity and enforced boredom, ennui and lethargy.... perhaps they all changed tack somewhere along the line and brought a bit of humanity to the politics of the UK...as opposed to pandering to the markets? i mean all those old demi urges of the past told you the markets could cause a hell of a lot of trouble if left uncheked. though, there again, that's also part and parcel of what remains of left-right political idealogy... the onyl thing i am gettin' from the past 30 years of boredom, ennui, enforced poverty is that i don't mind walls' magnum iced lollies. too expensive, though, but that's nostalgia for you. which, again, is part and parcel of what remains of right-left political idealogy. good luck whoever decides to make a difference... "we only gone and bluddy done it" shouts starmer as he wanders aimlessly down the hospital ward, wiping his sweaty palms on his shirt...

@@pip1723I missed that bit. Where did she say it was going to be done in 5 minutes? Or was that just something you made up because you couldn’t find any criticism based on real facts?

you need to get used to the fact immigration will never go away

She's the chancellor, that's not part of her role.

sky and BBC brown-nosed...Labour! Starmer especially...throughout the Election campaign....on election night..it was sickening.

13 years of Tory greed and neglect.

Better than the last fourteen year's we've endured .

Perhaps you should apply for the job if such an expert.

your statistics are false, and probably come from Facebook or the daily Mail. There are not 5 million immigrants on welfare benefits, and your gdp figure is so ridiculous it is not even worth considering. The biggest single factor in loss of GDP is the effect of Brexit and the lack of foreign investment since 2021. Visas issued over the last two years have only been issued to people who have come here to work and pay taxes. And while unprocessed asylum seeker numbers have increased (under the Tories of course, who have failed to process them) they are actually a drop in the ocean in real terms, and receive only a very small subsidy. Stop believing all the nonsense the racists tell you.

it's 300,000 a year which is quite feasible with the right investment

@@zayn2476 Investment into what ...the chances of doing 300k in the next 12 months as zero, that means even more each for the following years,

lol cope...

But I bet you got somebody else to write your comment for you !

And still none answered. As a labour supporter I want the truth not spin! Answer the fking questions!!

Four months………

🤏↕️

LOL US subprime and the collapse of Lehman brothers caused the crash to suggest otherwise is nonsense.

Wasn't that the mandate for the previous government for the last 14 years?

​@moogiebog8774 they had to fix the mess caused by labour crashing the economy to such drastically bad state they caused a global financial crisis! That.took over 7 years to get back to semi normal then covid and then Russia. They had the worst possible scenarios to cope with in any parliament in history! Easy to forget all that if you are a leftwing extremist I guess. Did you forget that or just ignore it? Labour have a stable economy, low unemployment and highest tax revenues for generations.

Be quiet now

@@moogiebog8774 . Totally ! .and so we go round in circles and nothing ever gets sorted. Not sure how things will change when the cupboard is empty and they ' won't increase taxes'. Just want some honesty. I think people would accept it, rather than excuses. .

It hasn't even been a week. It's completely reasonable to blame the last government on the current problems.

Wouldn’t want to.

You are a twat mate. Your Tory cronies are history
