Could the government cut benefits to curb inflation? Feat. Ann Widdecombe & Owen Jones | Jeremy Vine

With inflation once again rumoured to be on the rise, reports say that the government could be looking at cutting benefits in order to cut inflation.
Ann Widdecombe says this is just scare mongering but Owen Jones thinks it's a very real possibility.

She says, because food and energy, the largest items of expenditure for people on benefits, is so much more expensive in the UK, people on the breadline in the UK are actually worse off than they would be in her home country. This is a disgrace for a country which rates itself as the sixth wealthiest country on the planet.

    @@si-hv3nu Utter tripe. Corporate profits are more likely to be held in accounts amassing interest for the individual investors rather than being circulated back through the UK economy. During the pandemic the richest 1% in British society bought two things. Properties abroad at auction, mostly repossessions and luxury items that were not made in the UK. Italian goods such as high ticket items, Sports cars, watches, handbags topped the list along with properties all spiked in sales during that period. Low income or middle income wealth was redistributed back into the UK economy through supermarkets, paying household bills, mortgages, taxes and British high st goods all of which stay within the British economy. You fail to even define wage hikes in which sector? Public or private? I doubt you understand the difference or which sector of the treasury that benefit payments are tied into. Private sector increases inflation because it provides goods and services of which the products can be inflated to align with their workers pay rises. Public sector does not produce goods, therefore it does not affect inflation to anywhere near the same degree. And as consumers they lack the purchasing power of middle income earners who work in the private sector. Low income earners or those in receipt of benefit allowance that fall under the public sector in the treasury budget such as nurses do NOT produce mass produced goods obviously and low income or the poorest in society are not casting their wealth (lack of) to foreign countries buying overseas imports or even purchasing expensive British goods. They are generally living hand to mouth.

    @@ljt3084 everything I've said is bang on. What the richest spend their money on is their business as it is with anyone else. Yes if they buy something from abroad it does send money overseas just as the low earner may buy eg a tshirt from overseas online does, or if business buys stock from abroad everyone imports. Yes you do get legal offshore accounts tax haven and shares investment for people to protect some of their earnings from government theft through Extortion Which is arguably immoral when everyone else in the private sector is paying full taxes but redistribution of wealth policies are arguably immoral too due to theft through Extortion Slavery through coercion taking people property rights but that's a different subject. Back to the topic at hand the most part I agree with you on most of what you said. And your right the "public sector produce nothing" and their for make zero tax revenue even its workers wages & their income tax first had to be taxed off the private sector, in the first place same with benefits so yes increasing public sector wages and benefits means a need for more taxation or more national debt of which will have to be payed with private sector income taxation later, ether way more tax on the public sector means inflation of what the private sector selling to cover the tax increases. Governments create inflation with bad policy eg • sanctions on Russia led to lower supply on gas and oil inflating it's price and the knock on affects on to transport industry and goods passed onto the customer • free movement immigration Led to 10million population increase over past 20yrs meaning high demand on buying and renting homes inflating prices. • covid lockdown wage payouts Add to national debt meaning devaluation of the pound and a need for more taxation on the private sector whom pass it on to the consumer through inflation of prices on goods yes I imagine some corporate business have took the piss seeing an opportunity increase profits Etc etc I'm not say benefits and public sector wage hikes are the cause of everything I just say they are something which contribute to inflation in general

    If they want to curb inflation and get the public finances on a more sustainable footing they are going to have to look at wealth taxes and closing the loopholes that allow the wealthiest in society to evade their responsibilities. Those with the broadest shoulders can, and indeed should, be asked to make a greater contribution. That will help bring inflation down. Also, benefits as they currently stand, are woefully inadequate to provide even the most basic protection against poverty and destitution. They need to be increased to a decent standard if anything.

    Hitting the weak and those who have no strength to oppose is always the tory way. Also does it not show what a low state the contry is in if the government has to cut wealfare benefits to the poorest in this country, how desperate a condition is the economy in for this to have to happen. Those who may think the tories would not do this, of course they would!. Look what they are doing to all the other essential public resources NHS, Police, child protection (non existent) mental health, etc. Also keep an eye on the news and papers for stories of how "bennefit cheats are on the rise" and how "those on benefits are living the high life or spending all their money on booze and drugs and take-aways", when you see this being reported then you know it's going to happen!

    Inflation is mostly from the price of fuel, the over all cost has dropped but not for the person paying for it at the end, the prices have stayed the same... I don't know would it be right to say ex Tory Ministers are high up oil companies boards and help dictate the prices... Like Amber Rudd, well yes, it's not as if oil companies have given the government as in MPs and ministers over 40 million over the past 4 years, it's not as if the government this use this to collect more tax via VAT.. lastly it's not as if the battle axe left the Tory party to help make a new one, since polls now show the party she moved too will be lucky to get 5 seats, shes back to pulling the Tory line...

    @edwardscrase6136 because means testing usually involves bringing in a third party private company to do it. Plus pensioners reaching pension age now are already getting screwed over and they have no idea. The likelihood of inheriting a deceased spouses pension is practically zero for anyone reaching pension age withing the last few years. They are also making sure the minimum amount of state pension is just above the threshold to claim pension credit as well which means more people will be struggling as they will be less likely to qualify for things like housing benefits, dental care or free prescriptions.

    •Wage hikes •benefit hikes •Low Supply high demand •high immigration (due to above) All do create inflation. wage hikes are payed for by pushing up the price of goods to the customers, benefits hike are payed for by more taxation on income tax and business revenue which again passes onto the consumer through price hikes to cover the loss. Corporate profits arnt related unless they exploit the customers just through greed price hikes House price and rent inflation cause be a large population with few homes eg 10million population increase over past 20yrs. Illegal immigration puts a drain on the tax revenue creating a need for more taxation on businesses and income which again businesses will pass onto the consumer. Nhs and other public sector payrise creates a neec for more taxation on the private sector again causing price hikes onto the customer The main causes of inflation but theirs more like oils prices
