YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said he was unable to protect the most vulnerable from the cost of living crisis because the government's antique computer system would not let him. "The operation of our welfare system is technically complicated," Sunak said during an interview with Bloomberg's Stephanie Flanders. "Many of the systems are built so it can only be done once a year, and the decision was taken quite a while ago."
