Starmer is a dead man walking and he knows it!  #JonGauntTV #Starmer #PMQs #UKPolitics #CostOfLiving #FuelTax #IranCrisis #LeadershipCrisis #DeadManWalking #JonGaunt In a time of unprecedented domestic and global crisis, the British people are crying out for leadership and big ideas. But nearly two years into his premiership, it's clear Keir Starmer has neither. Today at PMQs, the mask didn't just slip—it fell off. Challenged by the Speaker to actually answer a question, Starmer showed he is a man with no plan beyond calling for another meeting and blaming the previous administration.  The "manifesto of change" has become a manifesto of U-turns. He knows the clock is ticking, and the country knows it too. Keir Starmer is a dead man walking, and tonight, we're breaking down why his time is up.  Tonight's Key Topics: The Iran Crisis & The Leadership Void: As tensions escalate in the Middle East, where is the British plan for Iran? We discuss why a "strategy of silence" and endless meetings are putting our national interests at risk. A Real Plan for the Cost of Living: While Starmer dithers, the solutions are obvious. Why won't he drop the rate of fuel tax to help working families? Why is he refusing to drop VAT for pubs and hospitality businesses that are the lifeblood of our communities?  The PMQs Meltdown: Why even the Speaker of the House is losing patience with Starmer's refusal to answer for his own record. The Two-Year Verdict: Two years in, the "blame the Tories" excuse has finally expired. This is now Starmer's Britain—and the wheels are coming off.  Don't just watch—get involved!

After pretty much telling us to calm the farm over the fuel situation, I can't believe the government is getting all antsy about its fuel tax increase - due to kick-in at the start of next year. Yesterday, when Finance Minister Nicola Willis gave her regular fuel update, she said it is “very unlikely” that the Government will go ahead with the 12 percent-per-litre increase in January. Why's that? Because the Government doesn't think people can afford it. Due to the increased costs caused by the war in Iran. But I don't think the country can afford not to increase the taxes. Because, as the finance minister said herself yesterday, no increase in the fuel tax is going to mean less money for road maintenance and road construction. Anyone who thinks this would be a good idea obviously has a very short memory. Because it was only two months when the automobile association released the findings of its most recent research survey of motorists, which found that more than half of us think our roads are rubbish. Fifty-four percent of people surveyed by the AA said they were frustrated by the state of our roads. South Canterbury was one of the areas where people were most unhappy. More than 60 percent of people there said they thought the roads were in cruddy condition. And, at the time, aa spokesperson Dylan Thomsen said his organisation had been pushing for better maintenance of roads for years. Two months ago, he said: “We are very pleased that there has been a big increase in funding and focus on maintenance with initiatives like the government's pothole fund. Hopefully we've turned a corner and we'll see aa members happier with their roads in future surveys.” That's not going to happen if the government does do what Nicola Willis was talking about yesterday and does press pause on fuel tax increases. As Chris Bishop has said previously about fuel taxes. He says they “go into the roads, maintenance, public transport, the new projects we want to build, the new public transport projects we want to build, all of those things have to be paid for.” Adding that the Government “doesn't have an unlimited credit card”. So the Government, if it's totally honest, obviously thinks that increasing fuel taxes is a no-brainer. Which it is. So why is it saying now that it's probably not going to? Because it doesn't think it would be fair and reasonable to make us pay more for fuel when we are already, because of what's going on in the Middle East. I get that. But it's just politics. Because, if you think beyond the here and now and think about the state of our roads, then you too will, hopefully, see that this move - over time - would be a major step backwards.

The Minority in Parliament is demanding a comprehensive overhaul of all fuel-related taxes, accusing government of punishing consumers at a time when global crude oil prices are rising

The rubber is hitting the road for us here in New Zealand with fuel prices on the up because of the situation in the Middle East. The Taxpayers' Union hasn't been slow in coming forward, saying the government should be cutting its fuel taxes. Temporarily, anyway. It says households shouldn't be forced to shoulder the full cost of global instability. It's spokesman Jordan Williams is saying that people are already struggling with the cost of living and the government needs to wear some of the burden rather than lumping it all on motorists. I get his argument and, more to the point, it's not just motorists who are impacted. Everyone is impacted because the price of fuel pretty much impacts the price of everything. Nevertheless, thank goodness the government hasn't jumped on the kneejerk reaction bandwagon with this one. With finance minister Nicola Willis saying that won't be happening. Which makes perfect sense. For several reasons. The main one being timing. We're only a week or so into this war and who knows what's going to be happening this time next week or two weeks from now. And that's the job of a government in times like these. Don't panic and see where things go. Especially, when there's the potential for the G7 countries - Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States - to release some of the fuel they keep up their sleeve for times like these. They decided overnight that that doesn't need to happen right now. But they're due to have another think about later this week. The Automobile Association's principal policy adviser terry Collins has been warning that petrol prices could get close to $4 a litre. I think the likelihood of that has diminished and good on the government for holding its nerve. Tell that to Labour leader Chris Hipkins, though. He says back in 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine, his government heard about people not being able to afford the petrol they needed to get to work. At that point, a litre of petrol cost $3. Chris Hipkins says: “Once fuel inflation reached that point where people couldn't afford to go to work, because they couldn't afford to fill up the car, we made the decision at that point that the immediate priority was providing support to New Zealand households.” And he wants to see the same thing happen again. I don't - and I think the government's made the right move. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
