Well done Richard & Susanna, this is how our politicians should be interviewed, keep asking the awkward questions and don't let them Squirm out of it.

[jmcc]

It’s a bribe not a donation. These people are amateurs, not fit to govern a country.

[ruthlessb]

The only reason they are not continuing to receive gifts is because they've been found out.

[deepoole]

A million thanks for questioning her so thoroughly. This is what we more of from need Mainstream TV. You were 100% polite and respectful but you asked all the right questions and exposed the corruption. Thank you.

[jonh]

Well done Richard & Susanna, very effective interview.

[poesie]

No you don’t get it, you are taking money away from poor people and accepting huge treats when you can afford to pay for your own clothes.

[SuperPauliet]

Not a huge fan of GMTV presenters as interviewers but credit where its due, that was savage! Actually put her on the spot and didn't let her change the narrative away from the questions they were more she answered the worse it looked!

[malcolmrowe]

So between her and her husband they earn in excess of £400k and she needs "support" to clothe herself, meanwhile pensioners on £13k can go whistle

[Nezzer]

Fabulous interview by GMB.
Didn't think you had it in you... 👏👏

[PeterPeach]

This is hands down the biggest car crash interview so far in 2024 😂

[itallama]

These people are absolutely despicable.

[riskwise]

I worked in the financial services sector for nearly 2 decades as an IT specialist (not a banker!).
Regulatory compliance is top of the agenda. We had regular training and testing to ensure our compliance. This became more important in the wake/aftermath of the credit crunch.
Two things infuriate me with this Rachel Reeves nonsense.
Number one is that these "donations" are indeed technically bribes.
Secondly as the head of the treasury/HMRC she should be fully endorsing what the tax office seek to penalise all tax payers for, and that's tax avoidance and the acquisition of cash or any other items of personal benefit during the course of work without paying the due tax. Ie any items of personal nature are treated as a taxable benefit in kind.
It therefore beggars belief that these taxable benefits in kind which are also bribes should be allowed by the government and actively entertained by the chancellor!
Perhaps every tax payer should ignore the taxation and anti bribery regulation in the country then?
There's no room in the prisons as it is so there will be certainly no room for every single tax payer! 🤣

[Domgo-dw]

An utterly odious and dishonest individual. Labour have lost Britain forever.

[Iamharryparker]

She's clearly having a hard time with this, isn’t she? It’s strikingly hypocritical coming from someone with a £150, 000 salary and the brass neck to call the Tories out for the same cronyism.

[DavePearson-yc]

This is the woman who is taking £300 off pensioners and defending Starmer for having £2000 pairs of glasses paid for. Something doesn't add up.

[mick]

They have no shame. They know they have a huge majority and don't care what the country think.

[Rkoe]

Dangerous woman. Power has gone to her head.

[sunny]

In Singapore this is considered corruption, a cabinet minister had to resign recently for accepting tickets to football games etc by a billionaire. The minister in charge is currently sentenced to 12 months in jail for the offence. Zero tolerance for corruption.

[michaelbeard]

Looked Seriously uncomfortable with that line of questioning.

[PaquetasCar]

She let the mask slip when she answered Susanna's rather probing "what's the difference" points. "Well we're in government now!" Sheer arrogance & hypocrisy of a high level.
