Labour's priorities are 'never with the British people', Reform councillor tells GB News

It really aggravates me

All this all protect, protect, protect these people that help the British armed forces. What about homeless British veterans

that don't get to get lovely housing, that don't get loads of support

Why does it always have to be a zero-sum game? Why can't they be helped as well? Sorry, do you think that those people

shouldn't have had any kind of assistance? Do you think they should have been a government-owned? It's priorities

Where is the British government's priorities? I haven't seen any fantastic ideas

on how we can help people I've just mentioned, you know, homeless British veterans

who, some of whom are living in horrendous circumstances in hostels and things

yet we've got people that have helped interpret and help our British soldiers

and that service should be honoured, I agree. But where is the British government's priorities

It's never with the British people. It's always with other people. If one of those people had been killed by the Taliban

for example, in a revenge attack, the headlines would have been even worse for the government

But why cover it up? What you've said there, a lot of people... By the way, loads of people watching this might disagree with it

Maybe you genuinely just think, well, what's the point? How can we trust any of these people

We were paying them to work for us They were just doing a job They might not have been that supportive of the Brits And also crucially no seemed to fight back against the Taliban really did they when the tanks rolled in So maybe you think we shouldn have offered these people a thing But if it is a natural logical argument to say they helped us

these interpreters, we should bring them over, why cover it up? What are they afraid of? And Esther, this point is

if the government is capable, or governments are capable, of lying about the largest evacuation in modern history

what else are they lying to us about? Well, that's the issue. Listen, I actually don't think the average British person is thinking these people risked their lives to help the British government in an invasion that many people would disagree with

And therefore, we should just leave them out to dry. I actually don't think I think if you made the case that they have been vetted thoroughly, they helped the British armed forces for years and they're coming here with their families because they face a significant risk, which was heightened by a stupid email that was sent by a soldier

I think most people would be like, fine, it's the cover up that is the issue

And it's the fact that they know what they're doing is going to anger the British public. And then this is why it boils down to why do we have our politicians say, oh, you can't vote for this party, you can't vote for them because they're all incompetent

There is no faith and there should be no faith in the British political system right now because all the major parties are failing us
