Has this man no shame? He broke the nhs

"Difficult decisions" means "We need to be making public service cost cuts and tax increases, because we have seriously mismanaged the economy, albeit if the opportunity presents we will try and blame anything and anyone else we can". Just say it.

12 years of austerity, cuts, misery, zero hours contracts, gig economy, turmoil, chaos, crises, and now we’ve got nurses going on strike for the first time ever.

The whole country is in a complete mess and no signs anything will improve ,in fact plenty of signs things will just get worse.

I think the Tories have done real economic damage for the past 12 years. And for some reason they keep avoiding talking about how much damage that mini budget actually did. I wonder if this situation is severely worse because of the mini budget. This is so disappointing . I despair at the economic situation ahead.

He is talking absolute b....s about Brexit.& lying

"A rocky couple of months." The absolute master of understatement.

If actions speak louder than words as he says, Hunt has a lot to answer for over the last 12 years.

Trust the Tories at your own peril. Are their voters still hoping for Boris's persona?

He is really annoyed that he cant control the narrative.

Well I don't accept that!! That's his answers to anything he doesn't like 🙄 Great interview as always Beth Rigby

it is misery , im 70 sitting in kitchen with gas oven for a wee heat , tories don't care

Jeremy Hunt ,the architect of the NHS as it is today .Who as Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee recently warned, I quote, "A&Es , Ambulances, General Practice, and Social Care are in serious PERIL across the country". Now Chancellor,what could possibly go wrong .

Trying to ship goods to and from the EU is a nightmare . I saw a colleague this week break down into tears with charges, mistakes and delays in customs and not for the first time . Hiring the workers we need is almost impossible . I feel utter contempt towards this Government and this chancellor. The sooner they are booted out of office the better .

One of the best political interviews I’ve watched in a long time. Ever since Paxman angrily asked Howard the same question a million times over & over again, interviewers like Andrew Neil etc have tended to become increasingly aggressive. She is calmly letting him finish sentences before asking for another fine detail. Hunt looks pretty rattled and not on top of his brief to me. Bravo Rigby!

Brexit is clearly the issue. His defence of it is so telling. We need to ask more questions about it.

The interviewer should have asked him why his budget delayed the biggest cuts to critical public services until AFTER the next election so that the public would pay the real price only once the Tories got voted out and under a newly elected Labour government… cynical but 💯 status quo for a corrupt politician

Brexit is to blame for this country’s downfall and none of these spineless politicians will admit it.

If there wasn’t long term damage from the mini budget why have we gone down this path?

12 years later..........

Hunt said that Canada, Australia, Japan and other small countries thrive outside a major trading block,that was a lie all those countries are in regional trading blocks using trade gravity and low market friction to grow their Asia Pacific economies.

well done Beth - we ARE concerned about the trade deficit and loss of revenue for our businesses due to Brexit

at 20 min the politician starts telling the interviewer which topics are best. Sounds like China a bit.

We need general election now

He doesn’t accept much…..Says it all….

Cheer up Folks, it's only 2 more Tory Prime Ministers until Christmas.

How convenient whenever he does not want to confront a real question he can just say he does not except facts! So sick of the never ending deflation by MP’s from all questions asked, people want and deserve real answers!

Firstly, I want the tories out. Stating that now because what I say next might seem contra to that. Is it me or are there some subtle colour distortions in the video? Beth seems blued out slightly which makes her seem like she's in a cold environment, I imagine to help the audience relate to her more. JH seems to be oranged a little more, it seems he's in a warmer environment, perhaps to put him in opposition to the struggles the audience is feeling. Beth's facial expressions are grim, whereas JH's are very smiley, again, seems like it's reinforcing the above idea on a subliminal level. Additionally, in the video when both are in picture, Beth is very in focus, but JH is very blurry. I might be reading too much into it, it might not be intentional, but I can see how it could be in order to influence the audience's perception of the two of them and what the audience is expecting from the interview and set an initial bias.

Where is the wealth to spread around. We have NO MONEY to pay even the basics much less to invest in GROWTH.

What Brexit freedoms is he talking about exactly?

His brother is Charlie Hunt. C Hunt.

Hunt always looks like he's laughing/sneering at the poor.

He just keeps saying look at Germany or over there always in denial.

How is it that “International energy prices” are responsible for our economic catastrophe & return to gut wrenching austerity, yet the energy companies are making stratospheric, never before seen, profits? This chancellor needs to take a massive, ungetoutable, unavoidable, no loopholes, amount of tax from those companies, so we, the struggling members of the public, do NOT have to pay these outrageous prices! Why are we having to pay energy companies so much, just for them to make huge profits? For goodness sake, TAX THOSE PROFITS! So we can breathe more easily, buy food & pay our mortgages/rent without fear! I object to paying so much just so energy companies can continue to make huge profits.

how dare he even mention the nhs, he dealt it so many blows!

Hunt by name….and by nature…

Hunt thinks everyone is stupid. Whenever OBR supports what they are doing, they quote these at every opportunity they get. When OBR says something critical, they don’t “accept “ it!!

I'm so sick of hearing about "families". Not every person or household is/has a family.

Time was all Hunt gave us! No plan for the future just platitudes!

I wonder when they will mention that youngsters will need voter ID to vote out these clowns. (Us oldies can use our bus pass if we don't have a passport or driving license but student id isnt valid). My guess is as late as possible.

"Brexit is a choice that Britain as a country made". Well out of the electorate 37% voted Leave, a leave that could have meant a Norway type deal or a hard Brexit, and anything in between. Sure more voted "Leave", but they didn't vote for the same thing. No way would leave have "won" if they campaigned for a single version of Leave, and one that was possible. Of course the 37% is more than the 35% who voted Remain. But, there was only one version of Remain in all the crucial points. We can't move on as a country until we acknowledge the reality. The country didn't "choose" this, there was a very slight simple majority for an undefined Leave, and then the powers that be decided to use that as an excuse to ruin the country and use that as an excuse.

Came out with the old 'long term plan' chestnut from the Cameron days. Actually, it was 'long term economic plan'. Look where that got us. He's not satisfied with shafting the NHS. He can shove the 'difficult decisions'. The electorate will have a very easy decision to make.

Is he laughing throughout all interview or it's just me being silly?

Why do journos pretend they can't talk about Brexit? I can't pick up a newspaper or listen to the radio without it being mentioned

bye bye Tories...

❤❤There are some fantastic journalists at Sky! They will take the lessons, which need to be learned, and move ⬆️.

After 12 years in power the Conservative Party BOASTS of their INTENTION to START up-skilling the British workforce to 1) reduce the need for importing labour through migration and 2) make the U.K. more competitive globally and more prosperous. They’ve had 12 years to do this. We’ve seen how capable they are of managing our economy. They could have done this a decade ago but chose the economic rollercoaster of Brexit which would pretty much guarantee to make the country, that’s millions of people, worse off over the short, medium and long term …. While a handful of people made short term gains. The govt are incompetent and corrupt. The majority of conservatives backed brexit at the behest of disaster capitalists who thrive on economic instability, despite the complaints of the U.K. business community, ignoring the concerns of those who import and/or export physical goods and useful services (as opposed to currency traders and others who profit from short term losses, the tiny, wealthy minority who make gains from any recession). They could swap prime ministers 10 times. Who cares? It’s the same party. The same philosophy. Their endless quest: “How can we help those who are so wealthy they don’t have to work, further exploit those who do?” They talk about us all being in this together and the current situation being nothing to do with Brexit. First the pandemic was conveniently global and conveniently unprecedented to mask the disastrous economic effects of Brexit. Then it was “Putin this, Putin that….” Yes Putin is a troublemaker but he is also an easy scapegoat for the human misery of U.K. citizens caused by their own government’s corruption and incompetence. Like Putin they lie repeatedly. We are sick of it.

We're all in it together, really !

Is it déjà vu? I feel like we have been here before 🤔......

Far more professional journalism than Kay Burley would ever produce

Beth keep asking the tough questions....

Tory’s: who can I blame for the 12 years of power we have been in….everyone and everything but us

This will be fun... All waffle and lies I expect. 😂

Stop asking questions of my lies. Ask me questions where I can lie and promise things will be great in the future

Talk about absolute denial is astonishing

3 shocks....plus brexit innit

Simple question.... Hunt may not accept the figures from OBR, but what does the market think? Do they accept the figures? Do potential investors accept the figures and those with whom we want to do a trade deal? If they do (and I expect that they will), then that is a problem....Mr Hunt!

It's ok saying how the UK can grow but what about the ordinary people who can't afford to put their heating on and are struggling to feed themselves and their families. He says that the mini budget hasn't had a long term effect due to him reversing most of the policies. What about the interest rates making mortgages payments more expensive and leaving people to struggle. Some may lose their homes and the impact will last for years to come. People are just stepping stones for the Tories to gain what they want for the rich.

The elected officials and rich will not go hungry or freeze to death ☠️ The king and his family will eat very well and healthy and be very warm.

And for those hoping that Brexit might get better if we signed more trade deals around the world, the government’s own economists have published numbers that aren’t looking optimistic. They’re saying that even if we sign a trade deal with both the US and India (two of the biggest deals we could possibly sign) it wouldn’t even cover a fifth of what we had lost with EU trade. Let that sink in. Brexit isn’t going to get any better.

The billions lost does not have to do with lost tax. But with the selloff on the glits market, where pension funds devalued significantly. If the chancellor cannot understand this, then we should worry.

The ‘con’servatives have got to be removed from frontline politics.

…..and another thing, last time I looked, the £ was $1.21

4:30 - the purpose was not that, it was to line the pockets of weapons manufacturers, giant pharmaceutical companies and corrupt politicians mates.

Who really gives a s**t about any of this issues raised in this interview. Do sweet F.A. for the majority of people. Focus on the real matters to yourself and what actually happen in your own world. Clearly these people just do not get it.

Excellent work Mr. Hunt!! 👍

Lets hold him to this rediculous notion that Britain is going to be the next silicon valley.... I mean we dont even have a decent Internet network across the country.... Pie in the sky...

Admitting to tackling cost of living crisis is good enough, as handling the matter is a sure thing!

While the U.K. repeatedly recognizes that the war in the Ukraine has had detrimental effects on the world and the U.K. economy (and rightly so) ... why not use the strength and influence of the U.K. in international diplomatic spheres to remove Russia from the U.N. security council? This would be a game changer.

Other things, yeah good work!

Once we've got the eu off our back's it'll be plain sailing gravy all the way. And get rid of all the green crap build some coal fired power stations like the germans are.

Im just going use an occasional asterisk: Jeremy *unt

Its ideological. Failed for Thatcher, Osbourne, Johnson, Truss and now this mob

We all hope the economy will adjust to best 🙏

Beth forgot to ask Hunt what colour the sky is in the world he lives in .

They are gonna keep putting the prices up on energy until they get to very penny back 😡

He REALLY doesn't like talking about Brexit does he

His name is well suited

Absolutely fascinating.

Can sky send Rigby on a speech course? Sick to death of hearin her talkin

We have been one of the most prosperous countries in Europe for many years, 5th in the world...and yet the working class and " under class"were always poor. Tories hate the poor, the NHS, the benefit system, because they come from a cruel private school system, where they are taught to be heartless and shameless.

Snuffle scoff scarf goes the piggy at the trough.

Why are we trying to be more like Canada or Australia? Both countries are lower income and smaller economies than the UK. And unlike Brexit they both don't self impose trade tariffs on their economies.

...where's Churchiĺl...?

23:24 of course Labour is happy with the budget. It increase taxes across population. Something like Socialism loves! The only issue for them was the Non-domiciled taxpayers. If Rishi put her wife to pay taxes here in UK, Labour will cheer the statement from the beginning to the end.

The Tories are a disgrace period.OUT OUT OUT I say !!!

We don't want to keep growing the country its already to big .growth will be the end of everything in the END

The UK should never of joined the EU. I never noticed any significant advantage. Beth is only offering a negative viewpoint

12 years of failure from 600 billion of debt to 3 trillion and nothing to show for it, explain that? The money must have gone somewhere??

all employers and employees are being taxed out of existence - they should get together and agree just to shut everything down and keep it shut until taxes are lowered, net zero is scrapped, acceptance of the democratic vote to leave the eu is accepted by politicians and there is full speed for growth, and a general election is called + the size of the state is drastically reduced and gold plated pensions are stopped immediately............

Same old same old , British journalists constantly interrupting their guests. Long format is what people want.

Beth although very profesional, Jeremy Hunt is equally competent

Never, EVER , trust a Tory...

I personally think Jeremy Hunt and Rishi have made the right decisions. Once inflation comes down, it mean cost of living comes down. The market reacting positively already and the pound is stronger. We just have to get through this global problem.

Interested interview 👏

Is it just me or does Jeremy Hunt look like Michael Palin?

A puppet of WEF.

Tories lose favour with Murdoch!

26:21 so, he agrees with Andy Burnham's Devolution plan? Does he is going to work with local authorities to really level up the country?

Ok, but why is he kinda....
