"a selection of lazy and pointless vox pops" is probably what it boils down to:
www.youtube.com
The "setup" for something like Budget Day is pretty much as described, and they just so happen to be watching the same news channel the report is on, which is clearly very much "coincidence". I wouldn't be surprised if it's a recreation and none of it was done at the time of the budget on TV.
I also wouldn't be surprised if people throw themselves at the media, to tell their story of working 15hr days and still can't afford to put the toaster on for two minutes. Sometimes if your sob story is tragic or high profile enough some saviour from somewhere may step in, but very much the exception to the rule.
