ambition ever we do agree is that there are two options are available to any government and together boots peoples incomes and protect them and they have the ability to do that and you can use market intervention. the price gap is press control and in press control, you have to consider the markets and interest the market and the interest of the consumer and it's far too skewed in the interest of the market is in the consumer and that has to change in the idea that you cannot patronise this is not true. 0ther you cannot patronise this is not true. other countries are doing it. you may have to support businesses stricter, but it has to be a part of the tools that the government uses in order to deal with what is an unprecedented crisis. let's look at the financial times, overwriting city regulators when liz truss is backing. this is something

the public and where the government does intervene, you're very clear about the regulator and what they're trying to pitch and an important objective and protect people and improve living standards. and that's of the government wants to do to attain the mandate, that's fine, it is not clear that they're trying to do that because in the end, they want this to be about maximising brexit freedoms and if that means undermining consumer protections, if that means potentially undermining the things that are insuring the workers have particular conditions that we have an environment of standards, that is a huge problem and not persuaded that as a people voted for when they voted for brexit. describing why people voted for brexit. that is very helpful. the guardian, fbi raids mar—a—lago. he
