🤦‍♂️ Another day. Another Labour MP. Another CAR CRASH interview. This time it was Financial Secretary to the Treasury James Murray on LBC, who appeared to know next to nothing about the Treasury’s own finances, much to Nick Ferrari’s mounting bemusement. Murray was busy boasting about removing VAT from... energy bills to “help families this winter”. Nick asked the most basic question imaginable: how much will that cost the Treasury? Murray hadn’t a clue. Nick tried again. And again. Getting more exasperated with every attempt. Ferrari: “There must be a ballpark figure as to how much this is going to cost?” Murray: “Yes, but I haven’t got that figure in front of me.” Ferrari: “Hang on. You’re the Financial Secretary to the Treasury and you don’t know how much it’s going to cost you?” Murray: “I haven’t got the figure in front of me right now, Nick.” Ferrari: “Why not? Don’t you think it’s a fairly relevant figure, Secretary?” Nick pointed out that Murray and his colleagues must have sat around and come up with the plan, and the cost, so he should obviously know the answer. Murray just kept repeating the same line: he didn’t have the figure. Nick finally gave up: “Well I’ve asked four times and you haven’t answered. I find that extraordinary.” The whole interview was like that. Question after question on a range of subjects. No answers. Just waffle. I don’t know why these people bother going on air. Pathetic.show more

@LBC This is Labour ..Clueless.

@LBC He just about sums the whole party up. They love a big announcement but never provide the details.

@LBC We are paying for this moronic governance! What a bloody shambles! Do any of these Ministers have any grip of what is going on, what they’re supposed to be doing or any plan? 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄 #LabourOutNow

@LBC These questions should be bread and butter for someone in his position.

@LBC Murray is an absolute embarrassment and a standard bearer for the level of economic ineptitude within our government. They have successfully kept him locked up during Burnham’s tenure. How did he get out?

@LBC How is a man whose head looks like a deflated balloon with 1000-yard-stare eyes in charge of anything? He doesn't look like he should be in charge of a small, local supermarket, let alone our economy.

@LBC he looks like the little squirt at school..

@LBC 😂😂

@LBC Amateurs. FFS, can we just get this clown show out??

@LBC They are literally inept, lack capability, lack thought. I honestly can’t stand how the government is run by people who wouldn’t stand 10 minutes working in the private sector.

@LBC I don’t think any of them want to be quoted about anything

@LBC they are always the same, whenever they are asked for specific or even ballpark figures, "i havent got that figure in front of me"..or put another way, we dont know, we never thought we would be asked so we didnt work it out

@HelenMi84029314 @LBC Saves me £1 a week increases far more than that !

@Wedontcare6ile @LBC What a wet lettuce 🫣

@LBC Should have asked him to phone someone to find out live on air ….

@LBC Clowns🤡 new name for labour they are going to be called band aid taking money of hard earners to give too someone else

@LBC What a Bafoon

@LBC Yet again another lying bastard

@LBC Why would ypu not turn up with the figure? Absolutely clueless.

@LBC Some breathing space thru the winter. 🤣 🤡 The energy price cap went up by 4% today. It's likely rising by 16% in January. Yeah, enjoy that breathing space, folks.

@LBC @UKLabour are f*cking useless on everything. He can't even provide a ballpark figure for how much???

@LBC I guess the ‘hope’ they were all so enthusiastic about this week will cover that bill along with every other un-costed, headline grabbing policy announcement they made

@LBC Pathetic

@LBC Who voted for this wet wipe????

@LBC He must think we’re stupid 😜😜😜

@LBC There isn’t a day goes by when these clueless ministers are not caught out being totally unprepared and out of their depth.

@LBC Pee Wee Herman finds a job in the treasury.

@LBC £20

@LBC We are so screwed....

@LBC Good God!

@LBC Every time one of them are questioned they haven't got a clue , you would think by now they would at least try and answer one question ? Or don't they care of they look stupid

@LBC He is so bad, they keep shuffling him around.

@LBC @andyburnham your honeymoon will soon be over. All talk no action.

@LBC Sounds like Khan

@LBC A government minister who’s doing the media rounds should have spent last night gathering all this information together. These guys are running the country. It’s total incompetence and should never be allowed to represent the UK after the general election.

@LBC Amateurs.
