00:00When I watch these debates, I genuinely think that Rishi Sunak, whatever your criticisms may or may
00:06not be of him, is always very clear as to what the challenge is and what the plan is to meet
00:11the challenge. And he always sets it out very clearly. When I listen to Keir Starmer, I hear
00:17a lot about what the challenges are, and we all know what those are. I hear absolutely nothing
00:21about a plan to address them. And I think there are some areas where it's really concerning,
00:26where we don't know with Labour where they're going to go with additional tax rises. We know
00:30that they're going to have to make them. We know they haven't ruled out tax rises over a
00:34large number of different areas, council tax, for example, tax on pensioners, tax on
00:41if you own a home, your family, your business, your job. They've really got to step forward and
00:47tell us exactly what it is they're going to do when it comes to tax rises, because we might be
00:51having a budget in just 10 weeks' time.
