Politics budget Laura Kuenssberg Rachel reeves
Laura Kuenssberg stuck up for the people with private jets and these 13 responses surely say it all
It’s a week now since Laura Kuenssberg used her Sunday morning BBC1 show to make a heartfelt plea on behalf of landlords everywhere who ‘scrimped and saved’ to buy a second or their property to rent out.
And we’d only just sourced the world’s smallest violin when she was back on our screens telling chancellor Rachel Reeves that her budget was basically a class war.
And she really wasn’t taking ‘no, that’s incorrect’ for an answer.
Laura Kuenssberg blatantly framing the budget as an attack on class.
Never mind poverty- “rightly or wrongly you’ve put taxes up on private jets and private schools”
On the other hand Kemi Badenoch is introduced as the “bold and radical” new leader of opposition.

And these are surely the only responses you need.

“You’re penalising people with loads of money” says Laura Kuenssberg.
If only she was this upset with the Tories who spent the last 14 years penalising people with hardly any money at all. https://t.co/HKUlkzE8wj

“Today I will be pushing Rachel Reeves over her disastrous budget; asking why she’s chosen to punish the middle classes and farmers, plus meeting the lovely Kemi Badenoch to ask where she gets her shoes.” pic.twitter.com/U32MUbXJgw

Good to hear Laura Kuenssberg speaking on behalf of the downtrodden few who can’t stick up for themselves, the richest 5%.#BBCLauraK

Kuenssberg is a disgrace.
Her snide sign off was: “with this budget, ministers have picked a side”.
Implying that they are not on ‘our’ side.If she had her head screwed on she might have signed off with “how refreshing to have a budget for the majority, not the 10% richest”.

Laura Kuenssberg: “You’ve put taxes up on private jets – rightly or wrongly”
Glad to see someone fighting the corner of private jet users in a country with more food banks than McDonald’s restaurants #BBCLauraK

Kuenssberg really is very very VERY bad at hiding her contempt for the idea that people with the broadest shoulders in terms of personal wealth should pay their fair share #BBCLauraK https://t.co/ndD5CebZrO
