likes austerity. spreadsheet phil! good news might be pushing it. if you are the chancellor, it is a long and terrifying report by the obr, it is about 300 pages, and anybody who has read the whole thing will be broken! i have read the main bits. notjust broken! i have read the main bits. not just the executive broken! i have read the main bits. notjust the executive summary?” could not possibly comment! but it is not good news for anybody. the other important thing is that we are not ina other important thing is that we are not in a position to deal with anything going slightly wrong, and there is something going on at the moment called brexit, which may add uncertainty over the next couple of years. if that did go badly, it appears we are facing another big serious financial problem. take us to the daily telegraph, the same story from a different angle, it says squeezing rich harms the economy. the daily telegraph, conservative supporting paper, has picked out part of the report and says that one of the findings is
10:46 pm
that the country is very reliant on the richest people at the top of the economy, which is risky, if something happens to them or to theirarea of something happens to them or to their area of income, like what happened with the financial crash in 2008, it leaves the public finances vulnerable. the telegraph says labour's plan to tax the rich more to fund public services is risky. talking about fleeing the country, there will be tax incentives for rich people as well, especially after brexit. but it stop mention that the report also says the last seven years have not left the public finances ina seven years have not left the public finances in a good place, and it is equally grim reading if you are a tory chancellor as if you were a labour shadow chancellor. it is a sobering analysis. if you are not that rich and you are looking at this newspaper, you will think, they
10:47 pm
have the world's smallest violin, thatis have the world's smallest violin, that is a point of view. austerity will not end any time soon. according to this lot. contains a u—turn on paris climate deal, here are the first lady and the president of each country. they are having dinner tonight. i wonder what they are having. he likes ketchup with everything. i am are having. he likes ketchup with everything. lam not are having. he likes ketchup with everything. i am not sure, the chef has won 21 michelin stars. what has been happening? the first time they met was awkward. but he has put on a good show for him this time. they ke pt good show for him this time. they kept doing these funny handshakes are trying to outdo each other, it was ridiculous. it seems to be more about how they touch each other these days! it is a fascinating first summit, they are chalk and cheese. relatively new leaders. one
10:48 pm
of them is this old crazy guy, you do not know what he will do next, you did not know what his politics are, the other is a centre ground, young, great hope for the liberals of europe. they are clashing together in paris, you would love to bea together in paris, you would love to be a fly on the wall. the talk is he is coming round to a u—turn on the paris climate deal, but he will say anything to anyone, just to get out of the room, then he changes his mind. he thinks no body can hear him over there. do you not think that he is feeling isolated, potentially‘s i don't think he ever feels like that. i think his ego is so big, maybe people say things to him and advise him, but! people say things to him and advise him, but i think he quickly goes away... last week he talks about this brilliant trade deal we will get, but where is the meat on the bones? out of the country at that is
10:49 pm
it. we will see, but he seems to say, however that room, just to get out of the room. he told emmanuel macron's has —— wife she is in great shape. what a charmer. for a woman of...| shape. what a charmer. for a woman of... i should shape. what a charmer. for a woman of... ishould not shape. what a charmer. for a woman of... i should not say that! revolt over repeal bill power grab. we have got the bill that will bring eu law when we leave the eu into british law. what is the power grab? this will transpose these european laws back into british law so we can stick with them or not at our leisure, there is not a sudden change on the first day, but what has upset the scottish and welsh governments is that when we get these powers back, they go straight to westminster, and westminster may or may not deemed that scotland and wales can have the powers, and they
10:50 pm
think it is unfair, we are supposed to bea think it is unfair, we are supposed to be a devolved nation, there should be a much more integrated approach to how we devolved powers. if you are a scottish nationalists and you are keen to push the idea that westminster is taking powers of view, theresa may has given them another opportunity to do that, i put in this bill in this way, and labour have said, we don't agree, we think the assumption should be that the powers are devolved to the administration is unless there is a good reason. and there should be scrutiny in parliament. you have a two—year window where they can think with certain laws at their will. two—year window where they can think with certain laws at their widm sounds like they are going to. on the one hand labour and the lib dems would think this is a bad idea and they are worried about the oversight and whether the tories will start fiddling with things, but at the same time they were always going to have a go, because they see theresa may is weak, and they will keep going. they talk about a political
10:51 pm
quagmire, tim farron is talking about how this will bring down theresa may eventually. with the best will in the world, you can see it happening, to cast this will drag on. whether we come out in march 2019, when you see how much they are trying to slow this thing down, i would be very surprised. this is the first ina would be very surprised. this is the first in a series of big brexit bills for a weakened prime minister who has no majority to get stuff through, and labour, the lib dems and the snp can chuck rocks at it, and the snp can chuck rocks at it, and it will cause a massive problem. do they then want to get the public in flamed if they will do that at every single step? more and more people will get upset. it is called sovereignty! yes, but a lot of people have voted for this. taking back control for our parliament!
