'Why Would Anyone Believe A Word You Say?': Sky News Presenter Roasts Chancellor Over Tax Rises
Sky News presenter Kay Burley has roasted Chancellor Rishi Sunak over tax rises, asking him "why would anyone believe a word you say?" during a heated interview.
Burley grilled Sunak on the government's decision to raise taxes, which she said was "a betrayal of the public's trust."
She said: "You promised no tax rises, and now you're putting them up. Why should anyone believe a word you say?"
Sunak defended the government's decision, saying that it was necessary to "balance the books" after the pandemic.
However, Burley was not convinced, and she continued to press Sunak on the issue.
"You're asking people to pay more at a time when they're already struggling," she said.
"How can you justify that?"
Sunak said that he understood people's concerns, but he insisted that the government had to take action to reduce the deficit.
"We have to balance the books," he said.
"We can't keep borrowing money forever."
The interview ended with Burley asking Sunak if he could understand why people were angry about the tax rises.
"Do you understand why people are so angry?" she asked.
Sunak said that he did, and he promised to "listen to people's concerns."
