News, britains news channel. Good evening. Rachel reeves good evening. Rachel reeves the shadow chancellor addressed Conference Today worth hearing given its likely shell have the keys to the treasury in a years the keys to the treasury in a years time. Here she is in action today. I make this commitment to you and to our country out of the wreckage of tory misrule , labour wreckage of tory misrule, labour will restore our economic credibility. We will lift our credibility. We will lift our living standards, make work pay, rebuild our public services, invest in Home Grown Industries invest in Home Grown Industries in every corner of our country, and together we will get britain its future back. Its future back. Well , lets start with the well, lets start with the positives. It wont take long. Firstly she is a credible politician, a calm , coherent, politician, a calm, coherent, decent speaker compared to her boss. The cervix free leader of the opposition, keir starmer. Shes Winston Churchill and she echoed the aforementioned churchill when she said this. I must tell you, you cannot tax and spend your way to Economic Growth. I spat my tea out. At growth. I spat my tea out. At that point i had to hit the red button on my Remote Control to make sure i was watching Labour Party Conference. But but but the rest of it struck me as trivial. A lot of posturing , a trivial. A lot of posturing, a lot of hot air. One one big announcement was to stop the Prime Minister using a private jet so much. Well let me say, whoevers in charge at number 10, i want them to travel quickly and safely , not sat on quickly and safely, not sat on a delayed train eating a mouldy egg and cress sandwich that theyve paid £7 for this kind of superficial nonsense cheapens our politics. She does, however , pose a good question. , pose a good question. Questions people should ask themselves ahead of the next election are simple. Do you and election are simple. Do you and your family feel better off than your family feel better off than you did 13 years . If you like me, believe that it is time to put Security First and reject the risk of five more years of chaos and decline, then join. Us chaos and decline, then join. Us shes got a point. Do you feel better off after 13 years of tory rule . I dont. And ive got no doubt you dont either. But she glosses over the small matter of three National Lockdowns , which saw the closure lockdowns, which saw the closure of thousands of businesses and the borrowing of half a trillion pounds. Labours share responsibility for this extraordinary economic destruction because they backed it all the way and to make matters worse, they wanted more war. Then there was the predictable snake oil language of creating jobs and investment. Governments dont create jobs. Thats communism and investment is doublespeak. For more borrowed billions. When she talked about the government playing a role in de risking certain investment sites to encourage the private sector for that sent a shiver down my spine, de risking. Thats you spine, de risking. Thats you and me undennriting what could be costly and failed projects like we saw in the 1970s, which takes me to labours green revolution and a 1970s style state run Energy Company called Great British energy gambling. Taxpayers billions on flaky renewables. I was delighted to renewables. I was delighted to hear that there will be more police and more nurses, but how are labour going to pay for that . Well, it seems that the windfall tax and the non dom status change will be paying for everything. Every Government Department will be sharing the spoils , apparently, and therell spoils, apparently, and therell be enough left over for a brand new pair of flip flops for keir starmer , these marginal taxes starmer, these marginal taxes are going to be doing more heavy lifting than arnold schwarzenegger. The windfall tax schwarzenegger. The windfall tax is already 75. Did you know that . Whats it going to go to . That . Whats it going to go to . 80 or 90 . Why dont we take all of their money . The bottom line is that windfall taxes are already too high and we are in partnership with these energy firms to invest in Green Renewables and to explore new gas and oil resources. All theyll do is take their investment elsewhere. Its investment elsewhere. Its a classic labour strategy , a great classic labour strategy, a great headline, but in reality , a race headline, but in reality, a race to the bottom. And what about to the bottom. And what about this non dom status . Stopping wealthy people who are registered as living abroad , registered as living abroad, paying registered as living abroad, paying lower taxes here . I hate to break it to the shadow chancellor but these people are very mobile. So this change in status may just bring in a few hundred million by the time were with it, at which were done with it, at which point scared off some of point weve scared off some of the richest people in the world. Do we really want them investing in new york or paris instead . Do in new york or paris instead . Do we really want them buying their rolls royce horses in dubai or singapore rather than london or manchester . Like i say, a race to the bottom. If i was in to the bottom. If i was in charge , id make britain a haven charge, id make britain a haven for rich people. We need their money. Just as rishi sunak has gained plaudits for slowing down the race to net zero, labour a speeding it up, reinstating the ban on petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and with no mention of the cost to the government and ordinary brits of pursuing this unachievable target of zero emissions instead , weve been emissions instead, weve been told by not granting oil and gas licences in the north sea, which is labour policy , we will is labour policy, we will somehow create energy security. Thats like saying were going to feed the family by locking the fridge or breaking up the larder. Well, labours Green Energy Policies have got me bricking it now. Im all for a bricking it now. Im all for a bit of green energy as part of the mix. But if you think that windmills and solar panels will deliver energy security, i cant help you. One last thought. Rachel reeves is without doubt prudent , but Rachel Reeves is without doubt prudent, but this gives labour a political problem. The left within their own party and the grass roots. Well, theyll all grass roots. Well, theyll all be expecting a Public Sector cash bonanza when they likely win the next election , and win the next election, and theyre going to be mightily disappointed and with a probable small majority, i predict an almost immediate civil war. And almost immediate civil war. And a party that keir starmer swiftly finds ungovernable, which is why dreadful as the tories have been, britain simply cant afford a Labour Government. Now whats your view . Mark at gbnews. Com. The emails come straight to this laptop so let me know your thoughts, particularly if you back Rachel Reeves plan. Lets get the views now of my top pundits tonight , now of my top pundits tonight, daily express columnist Carole Malone , journalist and malone, journalist and broadcaster benjamin buttennorth , back from the jungle and former brexit party mep belinda de lucy. Let me start with you, de lucy. Let me start with you, belinda. Were you convinced by what you heard today after all, Rachel Reeves cuts quite a prudent figure. Well, lets talk about the positives. I think shes a great orator, much better than keir, but then he set the bar very low on on that one. So she she comes across as authentic and passionate. But to authentic and passionate. But to me, its the same old anti aspirational politics of envy. Labour spiel that we normally get, you know, the attack on private schools i think is will backfire completely because i mean i went to a local comprehensive so ive got ive got no kind of, you know skin in that game but for me private schools, they take the burden off state schools and also there are a lot of struggling middle class families who are literally saving pennies and not going on houday saving pennies and not going on holiday taking extra Hours Holiday and taking extra hours just their kids just to send their their kids there. Relieve the there. And they relieve the burden state schools. But burden of state schools. But theyre them because theyre going for them because it looks good. Its a good headune it looks good. Its a good headline for the politics of envy. Quite rightly envy. And as you quite rightly pointed non dom status pointed out, the non dom Status International people, wealthy people anywhere to people could go anywhere to spend we want them spend their money. We want them to here. But shes putting to come here. But shes putting a stop to that. One thing i did like i mean , like was her attempt or i mean, ihope like was her attempt or i mean, i hope shes successful in clawing back the money that was wasted that was fraudulently used during the covid furlough scheme. And i think thats scheme. And i think thats a trick that the tories missed. But apart from that, its about more borrowing. 28 billion more pounds a year that we dont have. So they have to borrow that money to spend it. Have. So they have to borrow that money to spend it. And have. So they have to borrow that money to spend it. And the that money to spend it. And the rate of borrowing and the debt it costs to the british taxpayer is higher than than it has been in generations. So its going to cost us more money getting rid of zero contract hours again, i think thats removing choice from people. Zero contract hours actually suits a lot of students, elderly people who want to, you know, top up their cash income. So its removing choice and politics of envy and rather disappointing and no big, exciting new policies. Benjamin, i just wonder whether this speech today will please no. One because theres no extra spending as such. It looks like the burden will be carried by business. So the left of the party within labour wont be happy. Meanwhile many people think id better with the think id be better off with the conservatives neither of conservatives if neither of those things true. Those things are true. The left of the labour mark the left of the labour party is dead. Its not who the labour party is and neither should it be. And the that most people are the idea that most people are looking conservatives and looking at the conservatives and thinking packet thinking that their pay packet or stability economy or the stability of the economy will is nonsense. You will be better is nonsense. You know, talks about the 28 know, belinda talks about the 28 billion for green investment. Well, what liz truss well, thats half what liz truss managed to up the wall in just one month last year she borrowed to do tax cuts for the richest. Could you use a little less jungle language, please . But you know, i mean, linda, beunda but you know, i mean, linda, belinda pardon me, you say you have no skin in the game on private school fees. You wouldnt be affected by a vat on private fees, would you . No. My children do go to private schools. Right. Three of schools. Right. So three of three them three of them do. Do skin in the game. You do have skin in the game. So youre not out of so you are youre not out of touch that. Youd be cost touch with that. Youd be cost more money. And the truth is that public last that the public polling last week that of people week found that 49 of people support only 18 of people support it. Only 18 of people oppose. English sixth formers 17 of english sixth formers are in private education, is are in private education, 17 is are in private education, 17 is a and where are they going a lot. And where are they going to go . You just automatically think its seven, seven of naples are at private schools. Naples are at private schools. No. And the truth is i said the truth the economy has truth is that the economy has been stagnant since before covid. It has got nowhere. People have less money in their pocket. Growth is lower, nhs waiting lists are higher, tax is higher. All of those things were better under new labour in two thousand and seven. At the end of ten years of tony blair, we had the highest average Household Incomes in the g7. Today have the lowest. Today we have the lowest. Theres only one party to blame. Okay predict that with okay now i predict that with a cash bonanza for the Public Sector, we talked about this living wage , which i think is living wage, which i think is a laudable idea, but its going to bnng laudable idea, but its going to bring inflation back, plus extra burdens on business, such as getting rid of zero hours contracts. It means that unemployment will too carol. Will likely go up, too carol. No, no, no, no idea. No, no, no, no idea. No, no, no, no idea. No, no, no, no idea. No, those are natural consequences of these policies. No. If you make it harder for companies to employ people, then they will employ fewer people. That will spike unemployment , surely. Okay. If you say so. I okay. If you say so. I thought we were talking about her. But anyway , we are talking but anyway, we are talking about not much left to say now. Well, you can say anything you like. Well i think that i was waiting for her big economic plan. Plan. And what i heard was her talking about building programs , us and putting up pylons and putting up putting the vat on private school fees. Private school fees. Uh, thats not the new era of economy of the economy that she was going to be talking about. The biggest challenge facing this country is inflation. And she didnt mention it. Once you said she was prudent. Oh, no. Beunda said she was prudent. Oh, no. Belinda said. She suddenly said she was prudent. I suggested she might be. Well, shes not because she said today she was going to borrow £28 billion every year. And no, theyve cancelled that plan havent they. Well said today they. Well she said it today and borrowing solve money borrowing doesnt solve money problems. Creates them she problems. It creates them she said. And what what it also does when you borrow lots of money. Labour had been talking about this for a very long time. It creates higher inflation it creates higher inflation and it creates higher inflation and it creates higher inflation and it creates higher it creates creates higher debt. It creates it higher mortgages , it creates higher mortgages, higher rates. But i higher int
