UK Prime Minister Liz Truss grilled over tax cuts in local radio interviews - BBC News 

The word you are looking for is bribers, not donors. We need to stop using their whitewashed, watered-down corrupt terminologies.

"I need to give my millionaire donors tax cuts so they can keep donating to me :'("

Don’t forget “oh and don’t forget we stopped people paying over £2,500 even though we’ve completely trashed the market and hiked up bills for everyone who isn’t an elite

At least, she still had decency to come up with an excuse. Soon their only excuse will be "Oh, just piss off"

The Ukrainian war is just an excuse. There's no energy crisis in the UK, it's the rich grabbing an opportunity to get richer. The energy industry makes never seen profit from our money, now they'll pay less tax to make even more profit while help for the poorest (benefit) will be cut. I can't believe this is happening in the 21st century UK and people are not protesting on the streets. A quiet question: how about scrapping an unnecessary 98bn project that only ruins the countryside and upsets everyone? Oh, no, the contractors will not have their profit then...!

Why would a rich buisness station go against a party who sides with buisnesses?

Follow the paper trail

How would you draft that law then?

We need a convention whereby if a question is asked, there is a chance to answer it.

@@Chiefmismaker I'm not a law maker so that's not really my wheelhouse. Doesn't mean I can't suggest it though. Just seems odd that leaders of millions of people are so willingly allowed to dodge vital and important questions that affect us all.

@@kirstymoreland5379 I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see that for all politicians and a similar quality rating system for interviewers too.

always laugh at that Govt statement that goes " The Minister was not available for comment ". Why not ? Dont they work for us ?

The £2500 cap is not a household cap on energy. It's the cap on the unit. It's the way they've spun it to make it sound like you won't pay more than £2500. But you can absolutely pay more than £2500 and people will because the wording used by the government makes everyone think they can use their energy as much as they like without exceeding £2500.

She’s obsessed with Putin it’s getting cringe now

​@@deborahwyndham-lewis5188 tell me about it.

qWAZI qUARTO SHOULD SING LIKE STEVIE WONDER TO TRUSS YOU ARE WONDERFUL B'T

Imagine ww3 kicking off with her in charge lol.

I hope you're right 🙂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If gives me hope for my plan to take over space and block the sun and make yall pay for the rays.

Perfect analogy.

Yes you can, don't buy a house.

London needs a referendum to be renamed the Republic of west Pakistan. The UK is a tolerant liberal society so it's people will have no problem with this.

Mortgage rates are going up across the world

@@Worms_Pro I’ve got a house and a fantastic salary. Do I can pay out all this does is bleed the economy as now I’ve got to spend more money on mortgage payments and still more money on energy so I’m still just as worse off. Which means I won’t be spending money in the economy aside from bills, Lidl food and that’s it.

@@Worms_Pro cool, English people live on the street in winter...WHAT A GOOD IDEA xD

Well done Liz for getting out there. Stand your ground!

They weren’t worried about being blacklisted from press pools. That makes a HUGE difference. The Tories have faced a decade of soft questions, hiding from anyone who would ask a hard question.

@@FireIceEarth 👍

@@FireIceEarth they’re asking these hard questions now since they’re also now suffering 😂😂😂

Indeed. The BBC national news has been an utter wet flannel compared with these regional guys. Shockingly so.

not waving, drowning

Yah think?!

No, she is clearly NOT out of her depth. She is taking a piss because she knows that impotent dumbbells like you will do nothing about it.

She’s bounced her way up from education to trade to FM and now PM. She doesn’t display intelligence or an ability to string a single thought of her own with actual informative data. It’s clear she’s propped up by the elite who find her to easily manipulatable. She’s more there for foreign policy than domestic

Not qualified to run the country, How the hell did she get the power. Time to dump her ass out before she does more damage to the UK.

Why does she need to know? We pay her heating anyway so she's probably just out of practice on what gas is for

Sunak probably enjoying the this circus and some popcorn

In Norway the electricity producers are looking at a 90% tax. Yes. 90%.

Energy Companies DO NOT own your meters. Yes you heard me right. Let’s get out of the habit also of calling energy companies suppliers when they aren’t any such thing. There BROKERS! Selling you debt. Which is fraud. ABOUT ENERGY COMPANIES Let me explain about energy companies and what they can and CANNOT do. The electric and gas supply to the house or company cannot be cut off ever. Well, not in the UK. The world of the movies is different. Once installed that supply of Gas or Elec or Water will be maintained because the National grid is not the energy billing company. It's a separate company called the National Grid who have a contract with the government and they will not breach that contract and the judge has no authority to override that contract. So not even a court order can have that Gas/Elec/Water feed cut off. This is why they want to get in your house and fit a prepay meter. Now this is Civil and in the world of Civil the Judge CANNOT give that order, and he won’t. WHY? The contempt of court reporting restriction does restrain the Judge and if he breaches this it’s a Judicial review at the Royal Courts of Justice and he gets fired. So in brief there is no chance in hell that the feed supply will ever be cut off. I can’t say that this is the same in every country. But they have to dig a hole in the street to get that done. I’m not saying that it can’t be done but the National grid will tell the Judge to fuck off. They can do anything in the Movies. The Bureaucratic red tape for digging a hole in the street alone can take months. The Billing Company is just that. It’s a metering and Billing service also licensed by the criminal cabal dba Government, Which also means in economic terms the Gas/Elec is 92% Tax the same as fuel. A Billing company does not provide any Gas/Elec. It’s just an extension of government by the license Billing company. The Gas/Elec meter is NOT owned by the Billing company either and all they have is the serial number of the meter on record. So without that serial number on record which gets moved from Billing company to billing company when you change billing company, they have no reason to Bill you or enter your home. I am now using the words Billing company because they do not provide the Gas/Elec. Can you see how the language they use is also fraud?? The very contract is Fraud and there can never be that full disclosure of the Fact that they are just a Billing company under licence from the government OFGEM office. The Government do not have the legal authority to sign that OFGEM Billing company licence because the people have never signed that Legal Consent. NONE of the Acts and Statutes are legally enforceable without the consent of the governed. So it’s end-to-end fraud and the unsigned paper they never sign is the proof of that fact. Companies Act 2006 section 44. Please go read it. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/section/44 Everything has to be signed by an authorised person. Well the Billing Company itself is not the authorised person, is it? This is why nothing is ever signed. Fraud Act 2006 section 4(2) Fraud by abuse of position when it is an act of omission. It’s not signed. AND they can’t legally sign it so they don’t. It's all about the Paper evidence and they send that to you. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/section/4 It is in your hand. Material evidence of fraud sent by the fraudsters, This brings us once again back to the Claim and the MAXIM... "He who makes a claim carries the OBLIGATION to provide the Material substance of the Claim. Otherwise, the claim is fraudulent and it is also a known CHARGEABLE, Criminal offence. " The signed authorization does not exist. You don't need to go to court. What everyone should be doing, is getting a responsible fitter to fit YOUR OWN meter in your OWN home. There are thousands of meters on eBay.

Finally someone understand, we all should support the rich a little bit more, thats the least we can do.

😂 good one…

Sarcasm? Can't make it out.

Getting?

Yep everything is Russia fault now, even stubbing my toe this morning.

it’s not ignorance it’s intentional malevolence

Why was it a mistake? Please be specific...

Told you, Rishi would have a better choice.

Not you personally! Tory supremists

its not ignorance its planned, krazy kwertang went to a private cocktail party with bankers who made billions shorting the pound after his budget, told him to do it again so he will, one thing the tory party is not on the side of is England

For real bro. We need some meritocracy here.

Tbf, chancellor kwarteng supposedly has a phd in economic history from Cambridge. He should have enough sense not to tank the £GBP.

Totally agree. Also, cabinet ministers should not be shuffled between departments/portfolios they have no expertise in.

There are more sixth formers who are only semi-literate too... The educational quality of the UK has fallen through the floor in the last couple of decades.

To be fair, we didn't even vote for this moron. Blame the tory party members for voting her in, and bring on the GE

You’re not the brightest are you.

No its even worse than this, there is an OBR forecast but they are just refusing to publish it.

She's a born-again Ukrainian, just keeps blaming Putin.....absolutely clueless and useless.

I think we’re already sunk. Just waiting to hit the bottom now.

Thatcher sold the uk business s to private Thats why the uk conomy was slow and down a little and then france and germany overtake the uk leading economy Thatcher is lost in her end times at government wayback before The bests are reagan and trump and the current president of taiwan japans prime ministers australia presidents new zealand sweden norway poland leaders

Speculation.

@@dragonfly6908 maybe it is speculation but I'm 68 years old now,I stayed on at work because I was asked to do so . I like my job so no problem. I claim my state pension and save it because I don't need it at the moment so I speak on behalf of people who do. This government is a disgrace but I've seen the tories in action doing the same thing time after time looking after the rich and sod the poor. What kind of people would see vulnerable people struggle while happily feathering the nests of the rich. I speak as someone who is comfortably off but unlike this rabble in charge I have a social conscience

@@clivebennett7985A lot of people are fooled by Labour who they think identify and understand the plight of the working class and the poor, lol. There are more than a few multi millionaire Labour MP's including Sir Keir Starmer reported to be worth £4 to £7 million and Jeremy Corbyn reportedly worth £3 million. I would imagine the only time that they see a food bank is when they are driving past one.

@@dragonfly6908 you are right of course but what's the alternative? More of this lot screwing the working class even more or someone trying to help a bit . We all know when push comes to shove the all have their snouts in the trough ,but it's immortal to give the rich even more when people will not be able to afford the basics in life

A mini budget to raise more tax in total to spend on public services you mean?

Odd innit. Like as if they got rumbled by a line of ex-journalists.

All they're doing is reporting questions asked by their regional outlets. The central beeb hasn't suddenly grown a pair.

Lol.

Local radio not BBC central, nobody listens to this radio shows and the elderly don't go on you tube, they'll have screened this once in the early hours while nobody was watching. The BBC and Sky are pure Conservative propaganda

She can't stop lying. £2,500 is not the upper limit and she knows it. Absolute filth.

Well, she’s answering with “Not my fault, it’s the Banks fault and Putin’s fault. It’s the global recessions fault”. I’ll have to check out Thatchers interviews. I think politicians answered questions more bluntly in the past.

I wouldn't compare them because Thatcher actually did some good things but Thatcher did cripple the country by selling a fair chunk of our countries industry for what was essentially for short term repair and caused a good majority of long term consequences with the financial struggles we face with today. But I will say that it wasnt just her and that Tony Blair did make things severely worse so i can understand where people are coming from when comparing both Truss and Thatcher. Ultimately, it just can't be overlooked anymore that after this, it proves where the conservatives are aligned. With the rich and wealthy and not with the backbone of the country being us in the general public.

Let's not forget Thatcher was good friends with Saville, someone who had access to the morgue in children's hospitals. So far Truss hasn't befriended any child molesters.

@🍓 𝐌𝐘 𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 - SĘÉ NÓW ! 😂 What is that picture?! Haha!

Thatcher joined the ecc my friend committing treason. She also new ted heath gave 540 tonnes of our gold to a foreign country. Liz truss is bad but in no way a comparison to thatcher. If you don’t believe me ask yourself this question. Why was the queens title changed to head of state.? Head of state means head of the corporation.

Some unknown bloke by the name of Albert Einstein. Why should chucky bride… sorry I mean liz truss pay attention to this guy words

I wish liz would see ur comment well said

Well said

@Rooskie J But the vast majority of people have no savings; they do however have mortgages, loans and debt...at a time when the cost of living has sky rocketed. Only the rich benefits!

@Rooskie J you have 5% interest but 10% inflation. You do the math. It also worse than you think because even tho you might have saved your pennies unlikely that you have the equivalent of your yearly expenses in savings. Besides, most peoples savings are being eaten by inflation which means they haven’t got anything to profit from that interest

Correct. Liz Truss was just a random politician.

That's democracy.

Even Saint IKEA Starmer who has been sitting on a fence debating which policy to go with thinks he would be an excellent PM. Sometimes their is no reasoning with the deluded.

The UK economy was overheating before the mini budget with ridiculous house prices. Soon a public toilet will be £250,000 plus.

The Pensioners I know have no money worries, quite the opposite actually.

@@1SeanPG Yeah, those 10s of thousands of pensioners who die of the cold each year because they can't afford heating don't actually exist.

So sad, only a few days after the Queen’s death too. Here in the U.S, the dollar may appear strong, but in our neighborhoods, picking up the kids at school, all the conversations point to a hatred towards the government and their actions. They have deviated from the populous and it’s desires. That’s their very purpose, to represent us.

@@Creaturesburgh the super wealthy and powerful don’t want anyone to prosper in life.. they want everyone to own nothing and to be in debt to them.. this is what they are putting into action right now… all of this nonsense has been carefully planned for decades and we are the unfortunate generation that it’s happening too. Best of luck to you

Xanax?

You still believe voting makes a difference?

Obviously we DON’T need an election duhh, Liz Truss already has the support of the PEOPLE. Albeit 80,000.

Hope so!

If you dont understand, you shouldn't just say what Gary on the internet is posting.

Would you rather have an uncapped energy bill then?

@@Chiefmismaker id rather she actually answered the questions being asked instead of repeating that same talking point which isn’t even true because people WILL pay more than £2,500 so it’s not even capped…you’re uneducated. Get off the internet

With the ‘price cap’ my energy bill has still gone up £3000 for the next 6 months it’s based on usage not a cap on the bill

2500 is not a cap, dont be fooled!

It is not a total price cap! The cost per Kwh is capped so that the average household would pay £2500 per annum! If you are above average i.e. family with small children or retired and at home more, you would probably pay more!

They can't its like talking shite to your boss you can but will be sacked immediately.

@@MegaKapo12 case in point, the BBC is by DEFINITION, biased to the government.

@@MegaKapo12 It's true that the main BBC channels can't be as harsh as other news outlets because they need to maintain relationships with politicians so when issues like partygate come around (which to be fair was very critical of the government) they can be harsher. They have to pick their battles so to speak. However, I admit, this should be a battle they are fighting harder for. I think you'll probably also find a lot of collaboration with other news outlets to provide research and resources for ITV and Channel 4 to then report. Where the BBC shines is in local broadcasting, which is still an essential resource, as demonstrated by these interviews with local stations, and also important for people to get news in their local area.

Why? So when all the businesses leave you'd be paying more?

@@sk00p no businesses will leave it's time to increase it to 70%

@@memnem3787 hmmm ok, if i had business I'd be out making 150k+ and tax was 70%. I'd make my business outside the UK in a lower taxed country, why would I give all my money for the government to waste on councils for rainbow zebra crosdings and gender/diversity officers. No thanks
