It's so refreshing to have this grown up journalism compared to the sensationalist, biased, light weight drivel from the main channels who are only interested in de-stabilizing everything the government does rather than critically examine the good & bad. Top draw stuff Liam.

[cailancook]

Fantastic interview GB News, great to see some healthy, common-sense concerns being put to those in power!

20 & 40% tax thresholds frozen for the next few years, child benefit removal still stuck at £60000 since 2013 & the loss of the personal tax allowance frozen at since 2009. This is still a very high tax country.

Kwarteng exudes more confidence and competence than Truss.

[brendanmorrissey]

Why don't all the arm chair generals crawl back into their holes and let this man do his job? Lets be honest, can he do worse then the last lot ??

[Tdog]

He shouldn't have chickened out with the Tax cut, the pound would have gone back up over time

[Shanerosser]

Well done Liam halligan for interviewing the chancellor kwasi kwarteng on GBNews.

[crulove]

Stay strong Kwasi. I have no doubts that you are the best Chancellor in decades. Your instincts and policies are correct and will be proven correct if the public, tory bankbenchers and media give you a fair chance to implement them.

Increase the £12.5k to £20k personal allowance that would benefit everyone. But don't do it for higher earners. See how clever I am!

What I like about Kwasi Kwarteng in this interview is that he is not backtracking or making excuses, just stating the facts. After the pushback he received from the media that is quite confident. 👍Doesn't mean I am now all gung-ho for unconditional incentives for potential business opportunities, they have for one not yet manifested and won't do us much good otherwise if someone establishes HQ in this country for tax reasons but outsources production to basement-rate wage countries. Money- and service-based planning is what is breaking western countries' necks.

This was a great interview, Thank you Liam.

If young people have financed themselves on ultra low interest rates and haven’t accounted for the fact that interest rates could have gone up, sadly they were I’ll advised or naive. Sadly some people may lose their houses, but they can’t be propped up.

[tvrtaff]

well done Kwasi please keep your nerve

[stewartmcintosh]

This is just my opinion interest rates of being kept down far too long it's just a matter of time it has to go back up it was kept down by governments all over the world my opinion it was a bad idea is all the done it's got people who sought interest rates will never ever going to go up well and my opinion they are very stupid the days of low interest rate is finished

[L.C.Sweeney]

I mean ... he's got a point. Everything else they did made sense IMO and, as far as I've read, in the opinion of financial institutions. It appears that lowering the top tax rate was Truss' impetus as she's defended it today whereas Kwarteng has not.

[ramatgan]

He bonked the PM that's the only reason he was chosen.
