welcome back to my keep up Channel Kier starmer defends cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners and warns of a painful budget as he blames Tories for leaving economy worse than we ever imagined in Gloomy speech but defends handing striking unions billions sir Kier Stormer defended cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners today laying the blame at the door of the Tories for leaving the economy worse than we ever imagined in a gloomy speech from the Downing Street Rose Garden he warned that the first Labor budget in 14 years due in October would be painful because the economic inheritance from the Tories had been dire it comes as critics suggest the PM is rolling the pitch for tax Rises and public service cuts when Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivers her changes sir Kier defended the decision to make the winter fuel allowance available only to benefit recipients saying everyone including pensioners would benefit from Labor's long-term decisions but he then defended handing out4 billion pounds to end strikes by milit Rail and medical unions without demanding they modernize their working practices we ended the national strikes that have crippled our country for years because I defy anyone to tell me that you can grow the economy when people can't get to work because the transport system is broken or can't return to work because they're stuck on an NHS waiting list he said we've done more in s weeks than the last government did in s years and these are just the first steps towards the change that people voted for the change that I'm determined to deliver Laura Trot the Tory Shadow Chief secretary to the treasury said after promising over 50 times in the election not to raise taxes on working people labor are now rolling the pitch to break even more promises the chancellor is entitled to raise taxes to pay for her expensive choices and above inflation pay Rises demanded by her union pay masters but she should have had the courage to be honest from the start this a betrayal of people's trust and we will hold them to account for their actions sir Kier compared his task in number 10 to the communities that rallied round to clean up in the wake of The Summer's riots while the violence and disorder showed the cracks in our society after 14 years of populism and failure he said they also revealed The Cure sir kir starmer said in 2011 he did not doubt that the courts could respond to the riots as needed saying this time to be honest with you I genuinely didn't know every day of that disorder literally every day we had to check the precise number of prison places and where those places were to make sure we could arrest charge and prosecute people quickly not having enough prison places is about as fundamental a failure as you can get and those people throwing rocks torching cars making threats they didn't just know the system was broken they were betting on it gaming it they thought ah they'll never arrest me and if they do I won't be prosecuted and if I am I won't get much of a sentence they saw the cracks in our society after 14 years of failure and they exploited them that's what we've inherited not just an economic black hole a societal black hole and that's why we have to take action and do things differently sir kier's speech came ahead of what has been dubbed a fortnite of s asterisk asterisk asteris e in which ministers are set to make a series of Doom Laden announcements blamed on the Tories but Tory chairman Richard Fuller said this is nothing but a speech to distract the public from the promises Storer made that he never had any intention of keeping in fewer than 100 days labor has dumped its ambition of public service and become engulfed in SAS handed out bumper payouts to its union pay masters with no strings attached and laid the ground work to harm pensioners and tax workking people the speech will be followed by Rachel Reeves Autumn budget in October where she is expected to hike taxes and squeeze spending in an unusual move cier invited around 50 members of the public to attend the speech number 10 said the audience was made up of familiar faces he met throughout the general election campaign including representatives from business education and public services the PM said next week Parliament will return the business of politics will resume but it will not be business as usual because we can't go on like this anymore no more politics of performance papering over the cracks or Division and distraction things are being done differently now when I stood on the steps of Downing Street two months ago I promised this government would serve people like you apprentices teachers nurses small business owners firefighters those serving the country every day I promise that we would be judged by our actions not by our words we will do the hard work Meed to root out 14 years of rot and reverse a decade of decline he is expected to say we'll fix the foundations protecting taxpayers money and people's living standards we'll reform our planning system to build the new homes we need we'll level up workers rights so people have security dignity and respect we'll strengthen our border security we'll crack down on crime we'll transform public transport and we'll give our children the opportunities they need to succeed Source dailymail.co.uk please
