Hard-working families are asking themselves why they bother? Burnham has refused to rule out even *more* tax rises. He won’t commit to cutting the welfare bill. The cost of borrowing is going up and up. People are working harder and getting less back. This has to end.

Why do you assume that well-off people are hardworking? What about the idle rich who do nothing but sit on their assets, benefit from public services but don't want to pay for them! Bloody Tories never change!

You stand there bare faced talking about issues which your ridiculous party caused, it’s incredible how every one of you think you have been absent for 14 years, no apology not even a word of acceptance for the blame. We won’t forget, I assure you

You were part of all this and blindly supported austerity. You’re one of the worst for thinking people have short memories An absolutely shit MP who professionally toed the party line to keep hold of your seat More performative nonsense yet again and off to Reform when it fails

You should urge Tesco, Sainsbury's etc to pay their staff a decent wage that would cut the welfare bill, remember though it is less now than in 2012 under the Conservatives. Chancellor Hunt saw no problem with welfare, he cut NI rates twice?

Those firms paying poverty wages should have been tackled by the last Conservative government, that would have cut welfare?

Narrator : the idle rich pay less tax than hard working families.

You took this Country and squeezed the life out of it.

Stay in your lane!!

Fuck off with all your hypocrisy and story telling. I will give you one thing - it takes a special kind of person to stand there bare faced and say the things you are saying and feel no shame. Do you have no respect for yourself?

Exactly as they did under your incompetent party you hypocrite

FFS Tory vermin increased borrowing by over £1.7trillion Labour are dealing with the Tory economic shitshow and the disastrous Tory Brexit. The bastards left the NHS on its knees and public services close to bankruptcy They also caused the worst cost of living crisis on record

Why does everyone need to be "Hard working" to gain credit in Tory eyes? You've never done a hard day's work in your life.

All Labour's high tax policies are the same as the high tax policies of George Soros' Institute for New Economic Thinking where Treasury Minister Torsten Bell is a member. INET has worked with the SNP since 2016, now it's in HM Treasury. Liz Truss said Soros captured Britain!

Tory hypocrisy on steroids! Every current problem is at your door and as a party you’ll choke on your righteousness and blatant dishonesty. Never again.

Removing the human rights of the British people. Removing the workplace rights of the British people. Throwing 250,000 British kids back into poverty. Attacking disabled British people. With friends like the Tories who needs enemies?

Repairing the damage caused by Conservative governments will take a while.

"They're taxing your job, they're taxing your business, they're taxing your savings. You name it, they'll tax it." - Rishi Sunak

"Higher borrowing, higher taxes - it's broken promise after broken promise and working people paying the price." - Rishi Sunak statement on Labour's first budget

Cost of welfare isn’t going up this is a lie

All EXACTLY as predicted by Rishi. I know they messed a lot up but it was way better than what we are looking at now.

You’re the Suella Braverman replacement? But she’s all about pulling up drawbridges.

You lot raised taxes to the highest level since ww2.

That's why we dumped you

👏🏻👏🏻

Thats hard working families safety net you stupid women. 77.7% of tax payers are under 50k a year and most are struggling on near 30k a year and below requiring benefits just to stay afloat. Why??? Because your government failed us and make us pay for the near 1 trillion you spent over covid forcing lock downs. How fucking detached are you peope ffs

Just above the line so no UC - We pay full council tax No help with rent/mortgage No winter payments No free school meals No reduced school trips For two months out of work was not entilied to any help as husband worked, had to take a DWP loan and paying this back! To top it the few pennies we have left, god forbid we go on holiday during school time we are punished!

How comes you never stopped this when in power, in fact you did the opposite. Your rich buddies were given nonstop handouts and child poverty declined dramatically 🤬

Hard working childless singletons are sick of funding other people's children.

The UK is a self financing state. The tradeoff is between welfare and banker bonuses. How important is banker bonuses to the economy??

Hard working families - ones where at least one parent is in work- will financially be the most significant losers if you reimpose a ban on child benefit for more than 2 children to make a quick fix press release for defence spend.

Come back when Burnham actually implements tax rises. Until then, FFS, stop embarrassing yourself.

If ppl who have "a job" who moan abt ppl on benefits getting more money than they do believe claiming is so easy& they wld be better off they shld sign on : they have their pride ? So on balance are happy doing that & others happy to sign on - everyone's happy - so SHUT UP /1

They said it for years under 14 years of Tory governments - 🤦♂️ ffs Do one….😂🤣

From the crooks who gave us 14 years of austerity, Brexit, corruption and incompetence. Sit TF down.
