Ed Asks Kwasi Kwarteng What the PM Should Do Amid Speculation Over Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Future

[@AWalled]

glad John Ashworth lost his seat

[@fortlast1843]

Labour have shelved the social care cap that was meant to come in so hospitals will be left with more and more patients.

[@briankerrison8504]

Nope..that’s the cap on personal care costs..which should be means tested..as pensioners are the wealthiest demographic in uk 🙄🙄🤔

[@fortlast1843]

@briankerrison8504 unfortunately with dementia care running at £50k plus per annum the pensioners home will soon be gone, best option use all you money up and then the government has no choice but to pay for it.

[@HammyMansell80]

Why ask this man about the economy seeing he trashed it with lettuce woman Truss?

[@SimonSmith-yd6tt]

same question I was asking? Then I realised, it's cause Kwasi is jealous! his boss (Trussberg) dropped him in seconds

[@Pierremontquaker03]

he is a good person to ask because he was on the front line

[@Gericho572]

You mean the economy that was recovering and has since been devastated by labour. Way worst than the budget during trusses time. Who does budget fall on is it truss who was PM or the chancellor? Don’t let your rhetoric get in the way of facts.

[@HammyMansell80]

@@Gericho572 I'm speaking about what put the UK in more mess in the first place in Sept 2022, what's happened since is irrelevant.

[@85ABC]

Along with the institutions… yes their comms strategy was awful but the minute someone tries to do something different (which is what this country needs rather than continually going down the hole its in) people wade in and blame them

[@timothyreilly9561]

I thought we had seen the last of Ashworth. Phew! No chance

[@beverlysbrookes8247]

Why, oh, why do GMB and other news channels continue to have that Kwarteng man on TV after what he and that lettuce woman has done!!!!

oh dear expect a Cease and desist letter from that champion of Freespeech Lizz Salad Truss

[@85ABC]

As much flack as they get they are not the reason the economy is where it is today. Amazing what some people will believe

[@andrewwilson3448]

The quote that there are more managers in the NHS is incorrect. There are less than 4% of the workforce working as managers compared to 8-9% in business.

[@Styl33583]

Managers in business are actually competent though

[@philipcovell3272]

The Nhs were not brilliant as Kwasi said during covid, if my experience is anything to go by. No physio on the Nhs I could not see a doctor, telephone only. I am still on the waiting list 4 years later ! thank you Nhs 45 years of tax and when I needed you, it was closed except for covid patients and migrants. Sorry about my rant.

[@si8568]

Does it make sense that i was paying tax for state schools and also paying private school fees for my 4 children. Could not afford the vat so all 4 are in state. 4 spaces that should have been for someone else.

[@chrysalis4126]

does it make sense that a profit making school business should benefit from tax relief that other businesses do not?

[@Skygrey2943]

Does it make sense that I pay tax but have no kids and some gets spent on education? Yes because I want to live in a society that functions for everybody. We are taxed because it pays for various essential institutions that are needed for our country to flourish. We need roads, courts, prisons, emergency services, healthcare, welfare, education and more that we are not even aware of for our country to run smoothly and safely. Private schools are a business and they should be taxed as one. I would go further and abolish them. Then we could start saying that we live in a meritocratic country but that's just me. That said, it improves education standards for all when the elite send their kids to the same school as everyone else's.

[@Tizzy-s9g]

ITV and the rest of the channels give Kwarteng too much of a platform. They cant find anyone better it seems, and Kwarteng probably needs the money. Considering he was sacked on a plane via a text message, why is he relevant any more, and even Ashworth was voted out at the last GE. The programme has become a joke.

[@ricoos98]

huge amount of managers 2.65% of the workforce

[@gusleonard9397]

Can we finally just agree that the NHS doesn’t work anymore. Let’s reform it, we don’t have enough infrastructure to cope with the amount of people we have. The only way is economic growth to get more money but people won’t like the remedies for that.

[@MKhosla-wb5bf]

People do not want to work in the NHS because of the structural systemic problems in foundation and trust operation across NHS. So of course you have a shortage of staff front when 64% is management and only 36% of 1.4 million people who work there are back office operation.

[@Alex-y1f4h]

Problem is they can go to US, Canada, Australia, Middle East, etc and get paid double or triple for less hours. This cannot be fixed as UK tax the highest and give it away on benefits and pay for crazy things like foreign aid, putting people coming from France in hotel, and carbon capture, etc.

It’s really heartbreaking to see how inflation and recession impact low-income families. The cost of living keeps rising, and many struggle just to meet basic needs, let alone save or invest. It’s a reminder of the importance of finding ways to create financial opportunities. You've helped me a lot Elizabeth Jacob! Imagine i invested $20,000 and received $80,500 after 14 days
