00:00What we saw from the Chancellor today was a tacit acknowledgement that her political
00:04scaremongering is actually having a real world impact on the economy. They promised a government
00:09of service, what we've seen is a government of self-service. They've broken their promises
00:14on protecting pensioners and we think they're set to break their promises on taxing working
00:18people at the upcoming budget. They've lost the British public's trust, it's one rule for them,
00:23it's one rule for everyone else. We were looking into the Covid contracts in the last government,
00:28I think we were right to try and get as much PPE as possible to the front line.
00:33But more broadly, I think the Chancellor's got a bit of brass neck when she's talking about this.
00:36She appointed someone as a civil servant to the Treasury that was a donor to her before
00:41the election. We're not clear yet whether she declared that, we're not clear whether the
00:45business interests have been declared. She needs to be clearing up the problems in her own backyard.
