  1. Wouldn't have needed furlough scheme if we didn't do lockdown. Both Tory and Labour supported lockdown. Stop doing what they say.

  2. Sucks when you follow incompetence and get to take the criticism and blame for the results….leftists are the same all over the world…

  3. Glad she ask question he saved millions jobs and business though the pandemic was well done, Prime Mister a lot more than she did when she was in government. I remember her and her sister they didn't much , plus we must remember he only been PM for just over a year .he think he as also brought in the highest minimum wage from Aprill of £11.44 which is a minimum wage of over £24,000 a year well done and thank you PM

  4. Saving 10,000 jobs with furlough but the unemployment rate increased in 2021 from 2020 when furlough was introduced.

  5. Politics and people's anger at it is truly the most boring thing in Modern society

    Whoever is in that seat will get the same 'ooh aren't you evil' mantra

    Endless torture to witness.

  6. From April the minimum wage is £11.44 × 40 hours is £457 per week times 52 weeks is just under £24,000 a year plus some jobs are overtime on top , just for information a train driver gets £64,000 a year for a 4 day week and watches a train that's run by a computer so not all all jobs pay is fair ,

  7. Plus Rishi paid nearly a million pounds a year in tax he pays alot more tax than the average person , any one earning over £50,000 a year pays 40% of that in tax which is double the rate I pay so anyone of that salary contributes double what I do

  8. I’m so sick of hearing New New Labour crow and preen. You sabotaged corbyn and allowed all of this to happen. Corbyn wasn’t defeated by the tories but by his own party and this awful slime of a person was a prime leader in that betrayal. So she should shut up and sit back down. Nothing she says is worth a damn

  9. He didn’t save 10 million jobs. He mortgaged your future and the future of your children during the pandemic. The pandemic spendings caused inflationary pressures unseen. Inflations are essentially taxations, usually ordinary folks suffer the most.

    Governments are not businesses. Their sole revenue is taxation or exclusive claims to natural resources of the country.
