Victoria Derbyshire presses government minister on what the budget and tax rises mean for you

[@Christina-g4s]

Credit where credit is due, best BBC interview I've seen in a long time. Grilled him properly

[@davidg9057]

Don’t forget guys “fully funded, fully costed”. Total BS

[@collier8931]

Stop sending billions of pounds abroad if you can’t afford it. It’s fucking obvious.

[@user-hp6ls8qy6d]

WEF...

[@thewealduk9802]

Higher tax, higher inflation, higher borrowing, higher unemployment, higher crime, higher illegal immigration all in one hundred days. Imagine what Labour could achieve in five years.

[@JJ-mo8wz]

….indeed!

[@joycesmith8354]

They are all Liars, none of them would know how to tell the truth.

[@pamelsims2068]

I am so sick of this man saying. how clear he and the Labour Party have been.... Mate, if it was clear why can the majority of the population sayin* the opposite?

[@robhemsley9181]

The arrogance is astounding

[@NormanLeighton-l3q]

my thoughts exactly

[@ianjohnson01]

So what are working people!

[@reconn9056]

The sneering arrogance of this Labour luvvie taking about the disaster now facing UK farming has to be seen to be believed - this government is just appalling.

[@JJ-mo8wz]

…that’s a fact !

[@Saracen294]

When you vote in a party that are clueless... chaos ensues

[@davidrutter3192]

You're dreaming sonny,you've got 1 term

[@williammckeen5233]

Obviously British farmers do not qualify as workers under his logic 😢

[@andreclarkson9085]

Stellar interview - almost Paxman esq. sadly one of a kind in BBC .

[@MrDunkycraig]

Starmer #resignnow

[@MHAB-b1q]

I seem to recall conservatives having to fix labour mess on spending too much. Utter idiot? No clue

[@peteresher4580]

Once the farmers have been forced to sell land, their businesses will be less viable and many will leave the industry. Well done, Labour.

[@KyaColosseum]

Don't remember Derbyshire ever being this critical of a Tory budget outside of Truss' tbh. Think Jones handled himself excellently here, hope he winds up leading the party one day as he says it as it is unlike so many other politicians.

[@collier8931]

Best interview I’ve seen this woman make against this disgusting government.

[@pamelsims2068]

God help us!...... what an appalling thought.

[@hareshkainth8259]

Can someone please breakdown this £22billion black hole? Or a ref/source to an official resource detailing this black hole. Moreover, didn’t labour say their plan is fully costed and now they find a black hole? I’m not any political side but do seek official data about this £22billion black hole.

[@fahimhussain1105]

‘I will always answer your questions honestly’ while lying through his teeth. Shameless, arrogant and plain wrong. Liar.

[@peterjones7303]

How can you possabliy say in 10 years from now everything will be honky dory one blip and there screwed

[@user-hp6ls8qy6d]

Tories and/or Reform will reverse that IHT hike.

[@nigelalanwood6781]

Will we still be able to afford to send millions to the Ukraine.

[@colbr6733]

Lots of these jobs will be gone by the end of this forecast. Look at one company for example...Meta will be investing 50 or 60 billion just on AI. Next year.

[@davidpickering2111]

What an idiot this guy is! His investment is in non revenue earring services and crazy green projects that are somewhat dubious at best, whilst he’s screwing private working sectors.

[@caio5987]

Jeremy Clarkson is only upset because he will no longer be able to pass on half of Oxfordshire down to his children tax free

[@collier8931]

Labour are murdering the Farming Industry, disgusting. This guy being interviewed couldn’t give a toss.

[@nastropc]

5:29 ‘My other graph is a model in Canada but you wouldn’t know my other graph, they go to a different school’

[@KyaColosseum]

Should he have brought all the many graphs he as treasury secretary looks at on a daily basis just in case he had to refute the one that Victoria had in front of her? She had one for 6 years and that specific graph very well may have been showing the isolated effect of the businesss NI increase on growth. When put alongside the other measures the government is taking, it shows clearly there is going to be growth, and this is only on the assumptions of budget #1. There are 4 more budgets for this government to make, each one will effect those OBR predictions, and as any economist worth their salt will tell you, economists are not forturne tellers.

[@vexkiddy]

Love Darren a lot. He takes their BS and spins it back at them in such a clever way. He's brilliant :)

[@peterjones7303]

Loads of grief now but in ten year everything will be great i mean do you really accept that kind of garbage from any one what ever there politics is
