“Rachel Reeves to Be SACKED? Ben Leo RAGES Over ‘Gaslighting’ Brits – Chancellor Given JUST 6 MONTHS! (Video)

Ben Leo on GB News had some strong words about the Labour government and whether they’re being honest with people. He used the word “gaslighting” – which means trying to make people doubt what they can see with their own eyes. His point was simple: the government keeps saying things are getting better, but most ordinary folks feel like life is actually getting harder.

He started with a little joke about his wife going on holiday and leaving him with the kids, saying the real mind games weren’t happening at home – they were coming from the politicians. Then he got serious.

They played a clip of Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, saying living standards are going up under Labour. She talked about pay rises for people on low wages and how the economy is stable. But Ben wasn’t buying it. “I look around,” he said, “and everyone I know is broke. People are counting pennies, cutting back, and worrying about bills more than ever.”

He broke it down: sure, wages might be creeping up a little, but everything else is shooting up faster. Council tax? Up. Energy bills? Up. Food prices? Still high. He gave his own example – his council tax jumped by 5%, and now his rubbish only gets collected every two weeks. Meanwhile, in Bradford, Labour just approved a 10% council tax increase.

Then he dropped a shocking number – since Labour took over, 775 businesses are closing every single day. That’s 200,000 gone for good in less than a year.

Ben really got fired up when Reeves tried to take credit for interest rates going down. “Come on,” he said, “those rate cuts were already in the pipeline before Labour even got into power. The last government set that up.”

And then there was the clip of Reeves at some fancy concert with VIP tickets she claimed “couldn’t be bought.” Ben pointed out the irony – here’s a politician on £150,000 a year enjoying special treatment while most people are choosing between heating and eating.

The discussion turned to the panel. One of them, a former Labour guy named Bill, tried to argue that actually, wages are now rising faster than prices for the first time in years. But Ben shot back: “People don’t feel richer because of some statistic. They feel it when they go to the supermarket and their weekly shop costs twice what it used to.”

Another panelist, Khloe, summed up the mood: “There’s just this cloud over the country. The economy’s going nowhere, taxes keep rising, and nobody feels optimistic about the future.”

Then they got into housing – always a hot topic. Ben brought up Labour’s big promise to build 1.5 million new homes. But he spotted something in the small print – the government admitted some of these homes would help move asylum seekers out of hotels.

“Let’s be honest here,” Ben said. “That means some of these homes meant for British families could go to people who came here illegally by boat.” The Labour guy on the panel argued back, saying most homes would go to locals and even if some asylum seekers got housed, it was just to save money on expensive hotel bills.

But Ben wouldn’t let it go. “It’s about fairness,” he said. “You’ve got British people who’ve worked hard their whole lives stuck on waiting lists for years, and now they might see homes go to people who skipped the queue? That doesn’t sit right with people.”

Khloe agreed: “When people see new homes going to newcomers while their own kids can’t afford to move out, of course they’re going to be angry.”

Wrapping up, Ben made his main point clear: it doesn’t matter what fancy numbers the government throws around. What matters is how people actually feel. And right now, most people feel like they’re working harder but going backwards. Bills up. Taxes up. Less for their money at the shops. And now this worry that even housing might not be prioritised for people who’ve lived here their whole lives.

“Labour can spin the numbers all they want,” Ben said, “but people aren’t stupid. They see what’s happening in their own lives. And if the government keeps telling them everything’s fine when it clearly isn’t, they’re going to remember that when it’s time to vote.”

He promised to keep digging into the issue, ending with: “This conversation isn’t over.”
