Liam Halligan has been warning us for months about the dangerous direction this country is heading, yet he's constantly ignored. Under this Labour government, welfare spending is rocketing from 330 to 406 billion pounds, that's an increase of a fifth. Sickness and disability benefits alone are jumping from 83... show more

There’s not a lot that can be said about Britain right now that’s positive. Families are leaving. Businesses are fleeing. And confidence in the country’s future is collapsing. From soaring energy bills to fears over public safety… more and more Britons are asking a simple question: Is this country still working? On Friday’s episode of The Liz Truss Show, I’m joined by Liam Halligan (Liam Halligan) and Adam Brooks (Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧).

Elon Musk says American Taxpayers pay illegals $700 billion a year in benefits so Democrats can turn them into voters “That is also a mechanism by which the Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters” “Entitlement spending, most of the federal spending is entitlements. So that's like the big one to eliminate is that's the sort of half trillion, maybe $700 billion a year.” “This is why the Democrats are so upset about the situation because they're losing—you know if, if we turn off this gigantic money magnet for illegal immigrants, then they will leave and they'll lose voters”

Benefits are easier to claim and work is harder to get under Labour. It’s a disaster for young people. I’ve been in the NEET capital of the country, Blackpool, to meet people at the coalface of this crisis.

This is insane “Food stamp spending was just $4.5 billion in December of 2019 By December 2022, thanks to a massive expansion by the Biden Admin, food stamp spending was $11 billion per month” $11 billion PER MONTH feeding mainly illegals Democrats dumped into America “That's a lot of new artificially subsidized demand. And guess what? In that same period, grocery prices went up. By some estimates, food prices go up by 1% for every 12% increase in food stamp spending. In this case, we're looking at a percentage increase of nearly 150%. So you could do the math on that. It's more than a 10% increase in your grocery bill every single month. What this means is that if you're a working American and you're not on food stamps, meaning you are a functional citizen who is taking care of yourself and your own family, you are a functional contributing citizen. What that means is you are actually paying against your will for other people's groceries twice. You're paying when the government takes the money out of your paycheck And then you're paying again every time you buy groceries for yourself.”

YES ‼️ Elon Musk is now directly targeting entitlement spending for cuts, “That is also a mechanism by which the Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters” “Entitlement spending, most of the federal spending is entitlements.

EXCLUSIVE: Rachel Reeves has proposed increasing defence spending by less than £10 billion over the next four years despite stark warnings that Britain’s “national security and safety is in peril” The chancellor has outlined plans with the prime minister for a “limited” increase amid concern about the impact of the Iran war on the public finances The armed forces have warned that they are facing a funding gap of around £28 billion over the next four years on their existing plans However a government source said that Reeves has proposed an increase in funding of less than £10 billion during her discussions with Sir Keir Starmer, fearing a bigger increase would be unaffordable The Iran war has pushed up the cost of government borrowing and households face higher energy bills, petrol costs and prices in shops The chancellor is drawing up plans for a targeted energy bill bailout for low-income households this winter and is also expected to shelve plans to begin increasing fuel duty by 5p a litre from September at a cost of about £2.6 billion. Both measures will add to pressure on the public finances The State of It political podcast from The Times and The Sunday Times has been told that Reeves is unwilling to break her fiscal rules or increase taxes to boost defence spending John Healey, the defence secretary, is pressing for a bigger increase as there are concerns that £10 billion will not be enough, given the increasing likelihood that British forces will be deployed to Ukraine and the Middle East

Throwing Your Money Away The IRS received $80 Billion from the Inflation Reduction Act, planning to target the rich The IRS is bragging they were able to recover $520 million from wealthy taxpayers That’s a $79,480,000,000 loss for American Taxpayers “This will blow your mind. Are you ready for this? The IRS bragged that they've received, as of April 15th, led to the collection of $520 million from wealthy taxpayers. Are you ready for this? The IRS has been bolstered by $80 billion in new funding directed by the Inflation Reduction Act. Folks, we give the IRS $80 billion to help them raise $520 million? That is an economic disaster. That's how government works. Give us $80 billion so we can come up with $520 million from wealthy taxpayers. We've been better off if we’d let it all go. Keep the $80 billion.”

The Conservatives will increase defence spending. Our allies, and our enemies, are rearming more quickly and more effectively than we are. We cannot afford to be left behind under this Labour Government. We are the only party with a clear plan and a clear path to raising defence spending to 3.0% of GDP. You can be a warfare economy or a welfare economy, but you can’t be both, as Labour are finding out. Restoring the two-child benefit cap would save £3.2 billion, with half being spent on reducing the deficit, and £1.6 billion on increasing the defence budget. Coupled with our policy to repurpose the national wealth fund to bolster defence with £11 billion from net zero energy projects and £6 billion from cutting central research and development grants, we would establish a new national defence and resilience bank. Labour won’t commit to reaching 3.0% this Parliament. By the time the Defence Investment Plan is published it will be getting on for a year late. We’ve not seen the Defence Finance and Investment Strategy that’s due, nor the Defence Industrial Recapitalisation Plan. Kemi Badenoch will deliver on defence. Deterrence is cheaper than war, but weakness is the most expensive policy of all.

Keir Starmer, Ed Miliband and the Labour government are indulging in crazy net zero policies that are putting our economic and energy security at risk with enormous cost to the taxpayer. Plastering solar panels on prime farmland while reportedly spending £50m on sun dimming experiments is a prime example of this juxtaposition stupidity. Spending £billions on importing oil and gas from Norway while blocking new UK oil and gas exploration in the North Sea is another example of this ridiculousness. And spending £30bn on carbon capture machines while winter fuel payments are cut from pensioners and welfare benefits are cut from the disabled simply highlights a Labour government that is drunk on power but without any credible understanding of how to govern effectively by spending our tax revenues in the most effective and efficient way. It’s a total shambles and ultimately it’s the public that will pay the heaviest price for this net zero nonsense. As I discussed with Alex Phillips | Talk.

🚨 A growing number of countries are demanding reparations from Britain. These countries ignore the fact that Britain made huge sacrifices to be the first major power to outlaw slavery and enforce this prohibition. Of the countries demanding reparations, Tory and Labour governments issued 3.8 million visas to their nationals and sent them a staggering £6.6 billion in foreign aid over the last 2 decades. Enough is enough. We are putting these countries on notice. From this point, should any country formally demand reparations from Britain, a Reform government will respond by immediately halting the issuance of new visas to their nationals.

Since the election, we've grown the Heritage Fund from $17 billion to an expected $25 billion by the end of this year. Our goal is to build it to generate $12 billion in investment income, providing sustainable revenue for Albertans. We've focused on disciplined year-over-year spending, paying down our $80 billion debt, and freeing up $3.5 billion in finance charges. This allows us to offer tax breaks and affordability payments when we have surpluses. Let's keep building a stronger future for Alberta together!
