divided and unhappy party, and instead of attempting to bring the party together, think tanks, all of that sort of stuff, she decided to launch into a series of controversial tax cuts and not unsurprisingly, mps are saying that they are not going to go for it. this is really basic stuff. make sure you've got your mps on side before you announce radical new policy. before you announce radical new oli . ., . , , policy. continued cuts is the way this is described. _ policy. continued cuts is the way this is described. the _ policy. continued cuts is the way this is described. the neck- policy. continued cuts is the way this is described. the neck it - this is described. the neck it is. never mind reading the room, read the country. all we are hearing about our pressures on our bills, and our cost of living generally, the price of food, the price of fuel, the price of— the price of food, the price of fuel, the price 0 fuel, the price of every consumable that we may _ fuel, the price of every consumable that we may need _ fuel, the price of every consumable that we may need this _ fuel, the price of every consumable that we may need this coming - fuel, the price of every consumable i that we may need this coming winter, and she _ that we may need this coming winter, and she has_ that we may need this coming winter, and she has pulled this one out of the hat. _ and she has pulled this one out of the hat. i— and she has pulled this one out of the hat, i know. let'sjust look after_ the hat, i know. let'sjust look after the — the hat, i know. let'sjust look after the top earners who are going to benefit _ after the top earners who are going to benefit the most who will be able to benefit the most who will be able to afford _ to benefit the most who will be able to afford their houses more easily and pay— to afford their houses more easily and pay less tax. not quite clear where _ and pay less tax. not quite clear where this— and pay less tax. not quite clear where this money is even coming from, _ where this money is even coming from. which _

11:35 pm
earnersjust never mind tax cuts for higher earners just seems obscene to me. it is so against the mood of the public. read the country, but ijust don't know what sort of mood mps are going to be and when they come back from recess. ijust imagine tory mps are sitting there with their heads in their hands thinking it is all over. the idea that mps are going to vote for this tax cut in march, which is when the boats will be, probably in the next finance bill, the idea that we are going to come out the other end of this hard winter and people are going to be sitting there saying, oh, yeah, let's cut taxes to the riches. it's just absurd. let's cut taxes to the riches. it's just absurd-— just absurd. it's really got you, this story. _ just absurd. it's really got you, this story. i — just absurd. it's really got you, this story, i can _ just absurd. it's really got you, this story, i can tell. _ just absurd. it's really got you, this story, i can tell. carry - just absurd. it's really got you, this story, i can tell. carry on. | this story, i can tell. carry on. just, you know... so many people are going to have such a terrible time in the next couple of months, and there will be people who can't sleep at night. i can't remember things being really this bad in this country ever before. so this we

11:39 pm
also really worries me that the mood music from the government is they are going to pay for these tax cuts for the richest earners by cutting public services. by the way, also, they are repealing the rise in national insurance that rishi sunak brought and that was specifically designed to get more money to the nhs and social care. they haven't explained how they are going to replace that extra funding. it is just another example of a deeply worrying picture. as we all know, winter is a critical time for the nhs, the fact that they are already cutting appointments and people are missing out on treatments is worrying. but this isjust missing out on treatments is worrying. but this is just a missing out on treatments is worrying. but this isjust a poor attempt at how badly things could get over the winter. this is at a time, by the way, when the nhs has got record workforce vacancies. we don't have enough doctors, not enough nurses, not enough dentists. if i was the government dealing with that sort of issue would be my number one priority, not whittling

11:42 pm
as a country that the people who don't have hope are the young people. the people who should be the most hopeful about the future. they feel this dread and this concern about their own lives. you know, i have been covering parliament for 12 or 13 years. i have heard many governments stand up and talk about the housing crisis, but none of them have built one or 2 million homes that we need and that means that homeownership becomes unaffordable for young people. these are the sort of systemic problems that we expected our politicians. this is the thing we expect politicians to sort out. i've been missing them talk about it for well over a decade. i stop and see massive house—building programmes taking place. ifeel our house—building programmes taking place. i feel our political system has failed young people, and that makes me very sad. you should be in a position where you should be able to give people hope, that their lives to be even better than their parents were. even better from this research that this is how they feel.
