Watch: Susanna Reid questions how UK ‘suddenly finds’ billions for war

"That is a very good question," wrote one person in response.

GMB’s Susanna Reid made her feelings clear about how easily the UK government has found enough money for war.

It comes as Sir Keir Starmer has announced a £1.6bn missile deal for Ukraine, following a summit of European leaders in London.

The prime minister also announced “a number” of allies had signed up to a “coalition of the willing”, alongside France’s President Emmanuel Macron, prepared to commit troops to the Ukrainian frontline in the event of a peace deal.

Also on today’s show was former defence secretary, Penny Mordaunt, she said: “Look, spending money on defense is spending money on domestic priorities. Our armed forces do a fantastic job every day and because they do, we don’t notice what they do. 90% of everything you are going to use today has come to this country by sea.

“We port 50% of our food, 97% of the data we use are transmitted through undersea cables which are under attack every day from Russia. So if you don’t spend money on defense and protecting those things, you will very quickly feel it.”

Susanna then pointed out that when Russia first invaded Ukraine “energy prices went through the roof.”

Money for war

Later Susanna Ried said: “We’ve suddenly found all of this money to defend [Ukraine], where was that money when the govt came into power saying there’s a £22bn blackhole & we need to take money away from pensioners to fill it.”

Reactions

1.

The black hole was a fantasy. A govt that issues its own currency can never run out of money. It's real resources that it's sometimes short of. But as Tony Benn said, "If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people."

Do you need to know any more about how corrupt and lying that anti-British extremist "parliament" truly is?

3.

As was pointed out at the time – there is no magic money tree.

The war just serves as the means to take public money away from public services to enable it to be laundered through foreign States to serve the interests of billionaires & financial sectors.

Susanna Reid is certainly asking the difficult questions lately
Fair Play to her, has anyone else noticed ?

5.

Or simply…

That is a very good question.
