7:26Now PlayingWhen James O'Brien asked his listeners whether the Tory Party is facing irrelevance, he didn't expect 80-year-old Raymond from Falkirk to phone in.
Raymond stunned James with a furious take down of Kemi Badenoch and the Conservative Party, including their competitors, Reform UK. Raymond gave a special mention to Nigel Farage on multiple occasions.
Despite James asking Raymond to 'calm down' for fear of his raising blood pressure, Raymond continued until he had got it all out of his system.
The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, is expected to urge the public to reject Reform UK’s calls to use “family finances” as a gambling chip on “unfunded” tax cuts.
This comes after the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the party’s pledge to increase the income tax personal allowance to £20,000 a year could cost between £50 to £80 billion a year.
Speaking at a press conference in central London on Tuesday, Mr Farage said his measures were “aimed at British families” as he announced plans to scrap the two-child benefit cap and fully reverse the winter fuel payment cuts.
Responding to Mr Farage’s speech, IFS deputy director Helen Miller said the announcements on winter fuel payments and the two-child benefit cap were “dwarfed” by the change to income tax personal allowance.
