If you ever had doubts over the Gogglebox stars’ views on the government’s new mini budget, well, they’ve set that record well and truly straight...

However, their optimism soon faded, as his vow to slash income tax, stamp duty, national insurance, and corporation tax only sounded good ‘on paper.’

‘Why are the ones earning over £150 grand benefitting the most when they’ve got the most?’, asked Blackpool lass Sophie. The outrage didn’t cease there, as the chancellor went on to explain how, for the lowest earners, there would be a cut in the basic rate of tax but for those on universal credit, they were told to seek more and better-paid work, or risk their benefits being reduced.Even Giles and Mary weren’t impressed with the Tory party

Meanwhile, Tremaine, Twaine, and Tristan were in disbelief: ‘Literally, if you need help from the government, if you don’t try and help yourself more, they’re taking the help away.’
