‘We cannot keep increasing the amount we spend on welfare.’ Former Conservative adviser Claire Pearsall clashes with Nigel Nelson over the Labour government’s welfare bill, arguing defence spending is a priority for protecting the nation. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

As they're married to each other, I wonder how they get on at home. I do like Claire but Nigel gets on my nerves

Stop classing PENSION as welfare you 😤ing idiots!I spent 45 years contributing to a state pension 45 years in the same job from Dawn to unconscious this country needs to wake up ?to many taking out and not enough putting in 🤔to many foreign invaders to house and feed wake up 🇬🇧

How is there no money for British people but money for foreign aid? Money to take in asylum seekers? There is money, but not for improving the British people’s life.

Paying pensions for those that paid decades of National Insurance is not a problem. In fact there should be a ring fenced invested fund for this like any private scheme. The issue is paying pensions, welfare, health for non-contributors, migrants, tourists at taxpayers expense.

Here we go again, ol Nigel putting the spin on it yet again. 🙄 Stop the boats Mass deportations We will have billions saved right there.

@Jeffrey72586805 Yet they are laundering all our money through Ukraine 🇺🇦

This dinosaur is a left wing pain in the ass get him off or you’ll lose not only my viewing but many others , and chopper , Caroline ( I’m in love with burnham) and that twelves creature

We need to properly sort who actually needs welfare and who is exploiting the system. We also need to make sure welfare is seen as a safety net and not a lifestyle choice.

But can fund this bullshit

This is all a farce.. blaming the unemployed and disabled for payments given to other countries, illegal migrants and stolen pension gilts being sold off. The money is owed. End of. Army training is free, live fire is unneeded.

When we are in war, everyone will be hungry

A shame Pearsall either did not say the same to the last Tory govt or was ignored if she did. Labour may be doing nothing about it, but it's a problem they inherited from the Tories.

Wife thinks husband is wrong. Nothing to see here.

The Tories hollowed out our defences during their 14 years of misrule.

Sounds just the same here

Deport Nigel Nelson
