I thought I would use the power of song for this one
0:04
In the first Labour U-turn after promising support in 2022, deserting the waspy women
0:15
I'm afraid to say the taxpayers simply can't afford the tens of billions of pounds in compensation
0:21
when the evidence does show that 90% of those impacted did know about it
0:26
That's because of the state of our economy. In the second Labour U-turn, despite no mention in the manifesto
0:32
removal of pensions, winter fuel. In the third Labour U-turn, after promising to do the opposite
0:39
increase in employers, A&I. We will not raise tax on working people
0:45
No tax rises for income tax, for national insurance, for VAT. We will not raise income tax
0:53
In the fourth Labour U-turn, after refusing a national grooming gang inquiry. Labour conceded defeat. And when politicians, and I mean politicians, who sat
1:07
in government for many years, are casual about honesty, decency, truth and the rule of law
1:16
calling for inquiries because they want to jump on a bandwagon of the far right In the fifth you turn in the first Labour once in a parliament budget The Chancellor promised not to ask for more
1:29
In terms of whether we'd be doing something similar in the future, no
1:33
This was a budget to reset. It means our public finances are now on a firm footing
1:38
and the trajectory of public spending is much more honest. So we're never going to need to do a budget like this again
1:45
This was a once in a parliament reset so that we start on the right foot
1:49
and also to give businesses, families and markets confidence that we now do have our public finances on a firm footing
1:58
In the sixth Labour U-turn, a £28 billion Green pledge, Labour ditched it because it would bankrupt the country
2:06
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind
2:14
In the seventh Labour U-turn and one of the most significant of all
2:18
ditching plans for welfare reform. In the eighth Labour U10, which would be in breach of their manifesto
2:25
the Chancellor reversed a hinted income tax rise. To break the cycle of austerity, we need a fair and a sustainable tax system
2:34
One that generates revenues to fund the public services that we all use
2:38
and supports investment to grow our economy. That does mean that today I am asking everyone to make a contribution The previous Conservative government froze personal tax thresholds from 2021 to 2028
2:55
And today I will maintain all income tax and equivalent national insurance thresholds
3:00
at their current level for a further three years from 2028. In the ninth Labour U-turn after Varang to keep the two-child benefit cap
3:10
at the last budget it was scrapped. Not changing that policy. You're not changing the two-child policy benefits, OK
3:18
We are lifting 450,000 children out of poverty with the end of the two-child limit
3:28
In the 10th Labour U-turn, in a manifesto commitment to employment rights
3:32
Labour ditched its pledge. In the 11th Labour U-turn, in Labour's inheritance tax rate on farmers
3:39
ministers were forced to raise the threshold. Breaking news this afternoon. There's been a miracle at Christmas for British farmers
3:46
Askear Starmer has sensationally done a U-turn. He's watered down Labour's inheritance tax rate
3:52
The threshold will now rise from £1 million to £2.5 million from April next year
3:59
And in the 12th Labour U-turn expected to be announced, a reversal of removal of business rates relief
4:07
And I will support the Great British Pub through our new national licensing framework encouraging councils to back our pubs and to back late venues with greater freedoms
4:20
For business rates, I will introduce permanently lower tax rates for over 750,000 retail, hospitality
4:29
and leisure properties, the lowest rates since 1991. In the 12 Labour
4:39
U-turns of the Labour Government is Thomas said to thee Business rate
4:45
relief removal Increasing family farm inheritance tax thresholds Ditching employment rights bill pledges
4:53
Scrapping the two tier of child benefit Dilly dilling with the markets
4:59
Ditching welfare reforms Abandoning the 28 billion Green Pledge. Coming back for more
5:11
A national grooming gang's inquiry. Increasing national insurance. Removement of Pence's winter fuel
5:21
And deserting the waspy women. I think that covers it. LAUGHTER
