The ex-chancellor says Boris Johnson must "do the right thing", even if it means risking unpopularity.
As Laura says, Hammond has never been Boris's No.1 fan,
so the BBC gets out the big spoon again and goes to him for an interview then throws it open for a hys - huge surprise, cue the Wolfies and doomsters.
We are in a world pandemic, is there a sector or group who hasn't 'demanded' support?
Is there a troubled, hard luck story the BBC hasn't dug up & promoted, that 'more should be done'?

Yes, yes I certainly would.
The difference is that there is a scale of "Thickness", Ones that have realized that Brexit is a mistake are not as thick as those who are still to this day clinging onto the delusions that Brexit will somehow make the country better off when all the evidence suggests otherwise. They are the ones responsible for this mess and they should be highlighted for being so.

When will that useless Kuessenberg stop being the doom & gloom interviewer of the year, typical BBC employee. She was asking Boris questions on TV recently, asking unanswerable questions that are a clumsy attempt to solicit any answer just to misinterpreted & throw in the Politicians face later? same as that nutter from the Lib Dems wasting air time making dumb-ass comments about Boris's character

Isn't it time for the BBC to ditch Kuessenberg

Don’t forget that you get to lie to the queen, lie to the public, blame your shortcomings on those not in power, and use public funds for your personal gain.
Which politician are you referring to? In whose expense claims will I find evidence?
Many do have snouts in the trough, but creating a mythical figure as a target helps nobody.

Why can’t Hammond part his hair properly?
BBC just 'offed' my last comment as they said it was off-topic, er no it wasn't Laura Kuessneberg is mentioned in the article and my message regarded Laura Kuessenberg, proof again that the BBC is biased against genuine debate.
Removed
Unless it was all the gratuitous abuse you threw in your rant which also had nothing to do with Coronavirus.
No its not, its merely proof that you do not understand the rules of the HYS. Your comment was rude, deliberately inflammatory and you also swore. The rules may not be to my or your taste, but you broke quite a few of them.

Remaining in the EU would have led to the dissolution of the UK, as laid out in the original plan for an EU superstate back in the 1950s.

The public doesn't like the truth. They prefer lies and spin. You only have to see the number of people who vote against tax rises to fund the NHS to realise this. Well now you will get tax rises not to fund the NHS, but to fund furlough schemes and mass fraud.
Not bitter then Phil ?
I think anyone with half a brain (rules out Labour voters) knows that the countries finances are in dire straights.
Lockdowns and furlough have been an utter disaster for our economy....but what were the alternatives ?

I didn't. I follow the facts not this pro brexit tripe. An insult to intelligence
Extraordinary that you, along with many posters on this HYS, do not have a basic understanding of UK democracy.
Hammond is a member of House of Lords. UK has a bicameral legislature (HoC, HoL). So members of the HoL actively participate in the making of law in the UK. Hence he has a role & a right to comment.
PS: Anyone describing Hammond as an 'extremist' self-identifies as a bigoted idiot.

A little bit of tax avoidance for the masses. The link is how to claim your £6 per week for WFH. Everybody can do it, except those not working or on furlough.

Will there be no advance beyond protest, so little more honesty in Lords protest than in cowed Commons surrender? To make best sense, not to depend on benign dictatorship or on an equal-partnership enduring but shortly just by habit, we need to share as due full individual awareness - in natural faith in-common - of relation first to Existence, in Reason and Care highest context told of Goodwill.

Removing separate tax free allowances on capital gains, dividends inheritance etc to tackle tax avoiders
Agree on business, though a rise of corp tax to 20% to align with basic rate income tax might be good
legalizing recreational drugs? Cannabis on its own could raise £3Bn pa

We might WILL the end, of outcomes known fair by and for all, but what of the means? There CAN be NO credible 'regulation of corruption' other than with our liberation, in more than agreed income-equality (penalties earned only with laziness or crime), with honest 'relation to context', KNOWING just what and in what 'we are', all recipients of good potential, in a universe of Immanent Goodwill.

Permanently link personal tax allowance to min wage & avg hrs = £16,777.28 (£8.72 x 37 x 52 = £16,777.28). Lift those on min wage out of income tax (boosting disposable income/spending/the economy) & extend to additional rate payers (they dont get a personal allowance at moment)

No. Hammond is a surname.
They can start by means testing all welfare benefits out with the State pension that is. Give more to the needy and halt the corrupt 'Universal benefits' which hand generous handouts to people driving around in Porches' and who own mansions. These parasites take from those who NEED by saying 'it comes in handy'
Its meant for hard times not coming in handy. Unionist Corrupt inc. Removed

driving around in Porches ??????
Means testing all benefits means even less support for adequate benefits for the minority of needy as nobody else will have a personal stake in having adequate benefits.

Nobody conspired to prevent democracy, other than our Prime Minister, who was told by the Courts to re-instate it.
And so we know EXACTLY how much credence to give anything you say
I think we can all agree that criticism of the actions of the state of Israel is not the same thing as anti-Semitism.
Removed
Indeed
It is not even anti-Zionism
We on the far left recognise Israel fully as a sovereign country with her own sovereign land and want her to take her full role in the family of nations
Our objections are to Israel's expansionism and persecution only
We know there is fault on both sides, but Israel has the upper hand
Only Israel can put a stop to it
Palestinians can do nothing but suffer

The Citizens of the EU 27 can see how useless this EU Trade Organisation.
We can sit back and watch the 'fireworks' that have already started.
And how can they get out ..... tied in with ECB and the Euro.

How is this post relevant ?
"The Citizens of the EU 27 can see how useless this EU Trade Organisation."
Strangely they cannot, nor can those from all other countries around the world. Even Gove has stated the UK will be economically worse off outside the EU.

Is this meant to be in English? It makes no sense in any language. You could make any number of coherent points in favour of Brexit, alas, this isn't one of them.
Have another go?

You come across as a sad and ignorant person.
LOL and you are not?
It should also be noted that brexit supporters in addition to being the least educated,least well paid and least travelled(also the least likely to have held a full passport)are also far and away the most likely to refuse Covid or indeed any vaccination,the most likely to subscribe to conspiracy theories including those of Q anon and most likely to claim Covid is a hoax
No all facts supported by research collated over the last four years. Just because you don't like the truth or facts(a common brexit supporter problem)and prefer three word slogans,jingoistic rhetoric and xenophobic speeches doesn't make them any less true
Public have to be told about the enormous growth in the black market that is being fuelled by millions of illegal migrants within the UK
Removed
If the public doesn't know, how come you do?
When we include prostitution in the GDP figures to boost them, it's time to shut up about your parallel world of imaginary immigrants
Imagine the death toll under Jeremy and the commies. Said no one born since 1963.
Doubt Jeremy would have underfunded the 'commie' NHS for a decade to ensure we were short of 40,000 nurses so we couldn't even staff the Nightingales though eh?
30,000 fewer deaths, according to the Government's preferred model.
The best you can do is IMAGINE whilst the tories destroy the uk in REAL TIME
Government has to secure borders and withdraw from failed asylum and refugee legislation which has been so much abused by illegal migrants.

Actually on the article! Why can't the Oyster company sell his oysters online to us Brits like some of the Cornish fishermen. It's a Business that makes very good money in normal times, so like an individual you need to save a bit for the rough times. Instead of wanting more Government handouts.
Hammond ought to be reminded that he resigned ( Before his constituents had the opportunity to vote him out )

As a member of the House of Lords, he does have a "say". Didn't you know that?
But his constituents must have voted him in for a considerable number of years before supping from the same bowl and the collective madness occurring.
And as a Peer, put there by Boris himself, he does have the right to speak.
And what he says is the Tory Party has stopped being The Party of Fiscal Responsibility that you voted for for so many years, and become The Party of Profligate Popularism

We have the right not to listen to the Prat.

Seems you would only like to hear the pearls dripping from Kim-Un Boris' lips.....
But it is always good to listen to an opposing view
Except the Leavers don't have an opposing view
Just drift, deflection, demonisation, and downright codswallop

As it is not a mess of my making, so it's more "kidnap", or "abduction" than "joining"
But at some point your kids will tire of your little Alty-Righty ego trip, Moseleyite Tendancies and paying your bills, and will rise up and strangle you {lol}

Shame Hammond was not honest with the British people when chancellor.
Doing all he could to frustrate brexit and preparations for brexit.
What a fraud and hypocrite.
