7:01 pm
speaker, it's a pleasure to exchange comments with the honorable lady. i will look forward working with that closely in the months ahead. i would remind her that this conservative government is spending 37000000000 pounds this year to support people across the united kingdom with cost of living concerns. that is possible because of difficult economic decision is that the s m b have opposed at nearly every stage of notting food, large support for businesses are up and down the country. but the main thing i would say to her very gently, is that she cannot claim to be concerned about the economic turmoil of the last few weeks when the central policy of the s m. p. independence would leave time of the scotland not for a few weeks for many, a new currency. somehow find
7:02 pm
a way to trade with the u. k. internal market, but also european single market for the checks between england and scotland does announce today by the 1st minister, a massive gap in public finances. you would have to be breach. that is a recipe for precisely the all star anti. she says she's learned about let me say this. if we once economic stability is scott, no one's economic stability to coin a phrase. we are stronger together. what role the impact of these measures be on the growth rates and we're, we're still avoid recession. oh we, i will publish the economic full costs for me when i make my statements in a fortnight's time. and i think it's better for me to wait until i hear that. but the, the proc wrong city's question is that what we are seeking is long term sustainable
7:03 pm
increase and the economic growth rate. and that is a central policy of the prime minister, which has my whole hodges spook them over all the packing the country is feeling a sense of relief, the trickle down economics on so quickly a band. but that was one element in the me budget, which the new chance of did not address that was an issue of investment. says that if we have great evidence all over the place about how that as a mechanism for encouraging breadth and jobs and prosperity has failed it from the fact she is on what all that happens is they're incredibly expensive. we lose income from them. they only lead the transfer of jobs, modern poor areas to the other. and they are a massive opportunity for every kept track. only god and criminal to launder money in the you will transfer, abandon that policy to this. well,
7:04 pm
i would like to say that i have a great deal of respect to the campaign in the right hon if it's gone over many years against people, illicitly hiding, well, not paying nash of tax. and i do totally support the benefits that investment zones can bring. but we will implement that policy in a way that learn the lessons of when bubbles with a similar have been tried in the past. and we will make sure that they are successful and listening to a session of the u. k. parliament in which the new finance mr. new chancellor, jeremy hunter, you just had been addressing. and he's confirming plans to essentially rip up the government's original economic a strategy of tax cuts that, of course, so much turmoil in the market in recent days. and you, simmons is live 1st in west, mr. andrew hunt has been outlining these,
7:05 pm
these new plans. what kind of reaction are we seeing? well, the reaction there's, you've been watching an intense morling of the chancellor noise, a vicious way, but intense in, in, in a way that's the blue is actually stands out. because the enormity of this financial crisis is clear to see when you listen to so many figures asking why did list trust do this? why did she get rid of finance minister and chancellor as it's known in the u. k. at why did she do that? and why did the whole situation crash in the way did, and it's evident to everyone that the mistakes were made. miscalculations were made and really a colossal amount of damage has been done to the economy of the u. k. and everyone is seems to be agreed on that. it's just the language they use. now. as far as the
7:06 pm
new chancellor is concerned, jeremy hunt, he made an outline a before he went through his his whole new effectively. it's a, it's a fiscal statement that's come early designed to reassure the markets that's already had an effect because he, he read this out in, in statement form from the treasury earlier on monday. and that had the effect of bringing things in a much more positive states on the markets. the pound was rising against the door is done fair amount to day. and the cost of borrowing for the government has reduced some watts. but it's not there yet. he said that the country will fund its promises and it will pay it's debts. that is a marked a reference to how the sums weren't done correctly by liz trust and
7:07 pm
her and her finance minister. they were done wrongly and wow, there's a massive black hole in the economy. i, he talked about, i watering, difficult decisions to be made. not all of them listed. he listed. the primary one was, are the income tax, the base level of income tax, and the u. k, the plan was a to actually reduce that by one percent from 20 percent to 19 percent. that's kicked out completely. it hasn't been postponed, but it's kicked out completely. and the what freeze on alcohol duty rates that's gone, a 0 rated value added tax on goods for foreign visitors. that's gone as a plethora of other things that have been kicked out as well. this really was an austerity announcement. not what liz truss was pushing for. which was a whole growth of the economy plan, extra spending tax cuts accused by her,
7:08 pm
her opposition in when she was on the leadership challenge. accused of fairytale economics. well now it's a nightmare playing out because her situation is absolutely dangerous. in the extreme. she was in the house of commons, it has to be said. she was sitting beside the chancellor as he read everything out on her fixed face, told a 1000000 stories she looked very, very disturbed. indeed, we understand. she may well be giving a news conference within 24 hours. that is, seems to be the plan. she's going to try and fight back. she is talking to a whole series of people from the, at the center of the party. the one nation at grouping should be talking to them and trying to get some cooperation trying to get some support because she hasn't much at all in this, in this parliament, at, in any areas. apart from her own government, it would seem and they feel betrayed at so therefore you have
7:09 pm
a situation where her supporters feel betrayed. her enemy is convinced that that she's gone. that just question of time as to when she goes, she will fight back. it seems, but that's going to be a really, really hard job. indeed. and as you say, and you added the prime minister, less trust was it. we saw there sitting there next to an ab jeremy hunt, but said the labour lead a kiss. dharma had asked the prime minister to appear earlier in parliament, but he was a no show. has that gone down? well, that was really extraordinary situation, because it was a surprise ahead of it all. we'd heard the labor party asking out for the prime minister to explain her actions to be held account for what's happened. there was a long delay on any response from the government on this. and then penny mordant,
7:10 pm
the lever of a house said that she was going to address or any questions that sir will not any questions that the primary question being why works was quality. quater ng, the at the chancellor sacked or 4 days ago. that was the primary question, but of course these, these things develop into a much longer situation. and this is what the leader of the labor party had to say . once you cross the card a 100 miles an hour, you've damaged it for good and you're going to be paying much more on your insurance for years to come. and it's working people who will pay left wondering if they can afford to stay in their homes. if that hopes of owning a home have an already been crock. yeah. so now it's time for leaders to lead. yeah . but where is the primary? yes. hi. * thing away torching question, scared of our own shadow, the late is not returning. ah. penny
7:11 pm
morton explained that it was in the national interest for less trust to do what she did at a sack, the minister. and then to turn things around by appointing jeremy jeremy hunt to put things right now, it's all a hard to actually take in, but, but the attempt by penny morden to address the points put to it really, really weren't answered with effect. it has to be said she, she, as she said that she respected at least trust for her courage in sacking her friend and ally. so but then she did also apologized when questioned by others about the situation in that the, that the, everyone not had not realized how volatile the global economic climate was. so the really, it was, it didn't satisfy the house of commons. there's
7:12 pm
a lot of unrest here. it's the 1st opportunity in 4 days for parliament to actually put questions to the government. and there's a lot of concern about that, but how the democracy in the u. k. is going up because of the, the moves that are being made against this prime minister, who as far as the opposition parties are concerned doesn't really have a mandate now. and is a lame duck prime minister. she really is under a lot of pressure to step down. indeed, very uncertain non political situation there for less trust andrew simmons lifeless there in westminster. thanks andrew. at other stories now in ukraine, at least 4 people have been killed and 16 injured in drown strikes on the capital. official say here was struck several times in an early morning, attacked by russian forces using drowns. and cities man says they hit the central
