Laura Kuenssberg Pushes Back On Jeremy Hunt's Economic Narrative!

[@LisaTh-3-d]

Jeremy Chunt needs to go away, so sick of all the lies

[@amcc5887]

The bbc needs to go away,,,

[@blue_jay31]

Thank you, they will go to graves thinking they saved to U.K. But in reality they destroyed it ! For him to site there and still fukcin lie !

[@paulwilson7234]

We wouldn't have that sort of luck.

[@franks6617]

Laura has to go away. She was and is the Tory’s little helper.

[@bikingbirder2010]

always has been and has revelled in her role.

[@jamesz769]

She is the reason I stopped watching news on the BBC. She's terrible.

[@leechi001]

They never talk about austerity at what it has done to our country. It's always the pandemic and Ukraine.

[@blue_jay31]

Thank you !

[@marknaylor9394]

It is always "difficult choices/decisions"...ie. for us NOT them

[@kevinshanahan6064]

Absolutely, austerity is the same as shrinking the economy. Every salary earner puts with IT NIC VAT etc about 38% of this into the Exchequer. The services they buy provides jobs for others to in turn pay another 38%. After 14 years of austerity it is no wonder taxation is as high as 1945.

[@anllpp]

Same with Brexit

[@verttikoo2052]

Why the hell do they give him air time?? Tories effed the economy.

[@warmfeetwinner760]

Fucked. I think you mean fucked.

[@amcc5887]

Media reform needed ASAP, especially the bbc and print media,

[@oliverraven]

Inexplicably, he got over 23,000 votes in his seat so he's now the Shadow Chancellor. Though Laura being Laura, it's possible the BBC would've invited him on anyway.

[@verttikoo2052]

Oh FFS 🤦🏻‍♂️ Are You trying to tell me that you are stuck with him for the next elections??

[@Whizzy-jx3qe]

Reeves isn’t going to reverse Hunts fiscal drag ie no increase in personal allowances until 2028.

Have you notice when inflation rises with the tories, its global , when its drops , its their policies.

[@Zhoekov]

Did they threaten Laura with getting fired if she didn't show a little bit of actual journalism? Never thought to hear reasonable counterpoints from her against a torry

[@ambrella6631]

It's called knowing realising,which side your bread is buttered on.

[@jonmatthews721]

I think she had to suck up to the Tories in government to get the interviews. She has started to give the Tories a harder time lately but she has a lot of ground to make up for previous easy interviews with Tories

[@STAND_2GETHER]

So GB News does this as well, you go against your narrative every so often then you go back to it around about election time. She go back to full pure Tory in 4 years but this is her 'impartial' evidence

[@frankcarter6427]

they're out of power - she knows which asses to kiss

[@annem5899]

I truly believe they did untill now she has been the Torie mouthpiece not a true journalist,

[@Lincslad17]

Watching the interview this morning was painful. This guy should be facing criminal charges in the context of the COVID inquiry never mind giving a platform on BBC to talk utter nonsense

[@saoirsehaslonglegs2313]

yes,i totally agree,..its 100 % distraction tactics / bs ..from tory criminality throughou their tenure in government.& LK is a co crony too,..best friends with Carrie (on ) Johnson / Bozo b'stards

The weird smile soon disappeared😂

[@pjconnolly]

Kuensberg doing her job a bit to late for the truth.

[@JohnClark-ew8dh]

Shes not, but there will be a leadership contest coming up soon within the Tories and so she will have to attach herself to someone - evidently Hunt wont be in the running so she can have a go at him

[@blue_jay31]

For sure , she still lies about the pandemic!

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

They really need to include mortgage inflation in the overall inflation figure. Why should we be punished for their Brexit inflation and Lizzflation!

[@johnrussell3961]

A control loop only works if using the control reduces the target., The control is higher interest rates.. if you include anything in the target which goes up with interests rates , you expose the myth that interest rates control inflation.. That’s why housing costs are excluded from natuins shopping basket .

[@hughthemusicalengineer4365]

@@johnrussell3961 They should reduce interest rates and increase VAT, thus punishing everyone equally for apparently spending too much!

[@22Phantasm]

And never forget truss's shite budget which obliterated the mortgage and rental market... and we are still feeling it nearly two years later. Hunt rhymes with ....

[@johnrussell3961]

Truss forced the markets to look very closely at the UK economy, fiscal policy and debt. Any they can’t now ignore what they saw..

[@Hession0Drasha]

20 years behind france and germany, but the fastest growing 😑 so if we keep this up for a decade or more, we might catch up with their living standards? 🤔 not the ringing endorsement he thinks it is.

Even bringing up unemployment shows how dishonest this is pretty much objectively. Easy to say unemployment is lower when you have people working one hour per week on a zero-hours contract classed as 'fully employed".

To be fair he didn't say for how long ;-) So could be the last week.

Countries in africa have the highest growth in the world. That doesn't make them rich. That doesn't mean the quality of life there is measureably going up.

Our economy took the biggest shit during 2020, so it will rise quickly as it still has to get back to where it was, a mark everyone else has already passed

[@TheTwosliceToaster]

@@JSmith19858 It won't rise quickly. It will rise slowly (still an improvement on before), because we still have Brexshit trade barriers fucking things up. That will remain the case until they are totally removed by rejoining the EU.

@@TheTwosliceToaster there are no trade barriers. The only difference is customs forms and paying duty which, if you've traded with nations outside of the EU before Brexit, aren't hard to deal with

UK has highest growth in G7 but am I right in saying if UK gross was .1% and it rose to 2% growth would be 100%?

That's essentially what it is. Ukraine hit us so hard because of brexit that small gains were massive in the percentages.

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

If Amy has one apple and I give her one apple she has two apples, that's 100% growth. If Jim has 4 apples and I give him 1 apple he now has 5 apples. That's 25% growth Amy has the highest rate of growth in this example. And yet has far less than Jim does.
