tv   The Context  BBC News  September 3, 2024 9:30pm-10:01pm BST

9:30 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. are you proud to be british or would you trade it for a different citizenship? a national survey has revealed that answer is now almost split across the country. if you are, you are not alone. the scottish government confirmed today it is cutting government spending by £500m. the finance secretary shona robison said the "savings" were necessary to support the scottish government's next budget. the snp has blamed prolonged westminster austerity, brexit, a global pandemic, the war in ukraine, and the cost of living crisis which mr robinson said had placed enormous and growing pressure on the public finances."
9:31 pm
but a report from the scottish fiscal commission says while uk government policies have contributed to the pressure, "much of it comes from the scottish government's own decisions". here's our scotland editorjames cook. this is the reality of life less than four miles from the scottish parliament. a community centre handing out free bread to help the residents of muirhouse make ends meet. and yet, now, here and across scotland, the tough times could be about to get worse. prolonged westminster austerity, the economic damage of brexit, a global pandemic, the war in ukraine, and the cost of living crisis, have all placed enormous and growing pressure on the public finances. i must take further and more urgent action now to ensure that we can balance the scottish budget in 2024—25. and i call... there is also £800 million
9:32 pm
of additional spending for new pay offers, and all that means £500 million in direct service cuts, plus a raid on the proceeds of offshore wind and publicly owned scottish water. given the recent independent analysis, will the cabinet secretary finally put on the record that the large black hole in scotland's public finances is a result of the actions of the scottish government and not the actions of westminster? this statement is a - threadbare attempt to once again pass the buck. after 17 years in power, always someone else . to blame, again and again. critics of the scottish government say the cuts announced here this afternoon are alarming enough, but away from this place, there are plenty of communities across scotland which say they were already struggling even before this statement. the smp talked about her reset over the weekend. —— s and p.
9:33 pm
no doubt about it, this was a bad news day for the snp government in scotland. they're hoping tomorrow will be a better day because that's been the outline for the government and their bills for the years i suspect it will be the first minister tomorrow trying a bit more on the good news front. this report from the scottish physical mission is critically important. it's like the budget office responsibility for the united kingdom. it's a proper independent analysis of scotland's books. and where things have gone wrong for the in the major factor driving these carts is that government is invested more in his public sector, and it has more in percentage terms people in the public sector payroll than the rest of the united kingdom. when you consistently pay them over the previous years that you have to match increases in pay, it cost more money and
9:34 pm
somethings got to give. it is somethings got to give. it is obviously — somethings got to give. it is obviously true _ somethings got to give. it is obviously true that - somethings got to give. it is obviously true that their budget is determined by what comes in the october budget at west minister. rachel reeves will set that out. the labour leader before the election said, read my lips, read my lips, no austerity under labour. was he truthful with the electorate?— labour. was he truthful with the electorate? yes, i think he was. the electorate? yes, i think he was- i'm _ the electorate? yes, i think he was- i'm not — the electorate? yes, i think he was. i'm not convinced - the electorate? yes, i think he was. i'm not convinced that. was. i'm not convinced that this matches the definition of austerity for the reasons that i've outlined. these pressures on public finances are because of the fact that the public sector are paid proportionately more than england are. they're about to say to the back seat further pay increases with the which is something not available to england and wales. i am not sure it matches that traditional definition of austerity. at the snp government were hoping for is when rachel reeves came in his chancellor is that spurning taps would come on and money
9:35 pm
would flow into scotland and the government wouldn't have to make the cuts that it had to dig today. i suspect more money will come to expect when you're just market to see it for a couple of years yet. the blame is being thrown around in much the same way. throughout the summer, chancellor rachel reeves has been talking about a 22 billion pound black hole in the uk governments finances. which she lays at the door of the previous government. that infuriated her predecessor jeremy hunt, such that he wrote a letter to the country's top civilservant, (ani) a letter to the country's top civil servant, cabinet secretary simon case complaining that it contradicted government spending estimates, that had previously been signed off by the civil service. well simon case has now replied to that letter — and thanks to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman — we know what's in it. i've been leaked simon casey's reply tojeremy hunt, and in passing he says no. the civil service was not brought into disrepute. there was just a sort of mismatch because of the fact that parliament didn't have much time between the general election and the summer.
9:36 pm
but then he goes on to make a couple of really quite pointed comments. he says that he would note, this is simon casey's words, that the sizeable in—year changes to spending plans in recent years have resulted from the lack of a new spending review to replan departmental budgets since 2021." now, let me translate the civil service speak. he's basically saying that the previous government's decision not to revise departmental budgets at any point since 2021, before inflation, before russia's invasion of ukraine, was a big reason for uncertainty in public finances. that's quite a claim from the cabinet secretary, i suspect it of rather, it had stayed private, but it got leaked to me. jeremy has responded and said... if civil servant signed off estimates to parliament that are fostered is a breach of civil service code for the respect from any government to of civil service code for the respect from any government to hold the spending review for hold the spending review for the if those estimates were not the if those estimates were not balls in the cabinet secretary is code �*the balls in the cabinet secretary said the county offices acted said the county offices acted appropriate and labours claim appropriate and labours claim
9:37 pm
is exposed as bogus. in reality is a political device to justify tax rises. i suspect wills, this row is going to go on and on for the clearly labour trying to roll the pen before you delivered that important in our will. it you delivered that important in our will. , , you delivered that important in ourwill. , , ., you delivered that important in our will. , , ., ., our will. it seems also that there's a — our will. it seems also that there's a lot _ our will. it seems also that there's a lot of _ our will. it seems also that there's a lot of plane - our will. it seems also that there's a lot of plane being thrown around. in the past 2a hours of the go from side to side. it will as you said lay the groundwork for the budget that comes. we're talking about the kamala harris campaign early wrong, she's focusing on m early wrong, she's focusing on joy and this seems to be focusing on going towards misery in the uk. looking at the details and spending cuts and budget reviews for that there is a very bleak picture. again
9:38 pm
it complicates matters. and the couege it complicates matters. and the college had to translate what it all meant. it will go back and forth in the headlines as we go and then when the budget does come down that we're going to see those headline numbers from rachel reeves end of the public and decide for themselves with the bad is what's could be what matters most to every break. because ou most to every break. because you ismaily — most to every break. because you ismaily because - most to every break. because you ismaily because she - most to every break. because you ismaily because she doesj you ismaily because she does this will go on and on. it seems to me, what do i know but it seems to me that both sides are guilty of hiding reality. the conservatives certainly knew that that during the pay deals would be expensive and have a cost for them appropriately. labour has settled the pay deals in line with the independent pay review bodies but is trying to say it wasn't a political choice, which he clearly was. as in scotland labour is making a big play of that. they're making a big play of the fact that it is a political choice for the snp to settle the public sector pay row. , ~'

9:40 pm
any of that in the united states for the where the debt is growing, the deficit rolls on from year to year to year, even over the debate about taxes, the trump taxes that come to an end in 2025. there is no conversation about well, we can't reinstate those tax cuts before we can afford it. it doesn't seem to be part of the general debate. ida. it doesn't seem to be part of the general debate.- it doesn't seem to be part of the general debate. no, it only comes on _ the general debate. no, it only comes on every _ the general debate. no, it only comes up every so _ the general debate. no, it only comes up every so often. - the general debate. no, it only comes up every so often. andl the general debate. no, it only| comes up every so often. and a very large headlight number, which i apologise but i cannot remember of the top my head because it grows all the time. is up to 35 trillion? it because it grows all the time. is up to 35 trillion?— is up to 35 trillion? it is, ou're is up to 35 trillion? it is, you're right. _ is up to 35 trillion? it is, you're right. i— is up to 35 trillion? it is, you're right. i probably i is up to 35 trillion? it is, i you're right. i probably last looked when it was 33 trillion. i apologise for that it keeps going on and on. especially in the election year, talking about the deficit is not something that either side wants to mention. post election it may come to the forefront when congress returns in the next week then we're going to be talking about how the
9:41 pm
government wants to want to shut down for the end does take over, whether it's harris or trump administration then that will be one of the issues that comes to the forefront. because the us keep spending and they keep pushing economic prosperity, pushing trump especially tax cuts for the kamala harris is talking about big tax child tax credits for that making it more affordable for low income housing. those will add for low income housing. those willadd up. it for low income housing. those will add up. it will come to the fore in the next ten or 20 years where there's going to be a point we can come back from it. as you said, nothing comes to the forefront here. someone can mention the number every so often and it's remarkably impressive how big it is. that will be a seismic— impressive how big it is. that will be a seismic events - impressive how big it is. that will be a seismic events when it happens. will all go to america for holidays when that happens. we haven't been able to afford at the last five years. let's talk about something else.
9:42 pm
the way we view ourselves is changing: we are — as a nation — less proud of our history, our economy our political influence in the world than we once were — but we are now more proud of our sporting, cultural and artistic achievements. that's the picture that emerges from the british social attitudes survey carried out by the national centre for social research. robert tombs, is emeritus professor in history at the university of cambridge. two out of three still say they are proud of british history, despite the tsunami of negativity that we've had over the last few years. and oddly, even most of those who don't identify as british say they're proud of british history. nevertheless, the number of those who do say they're proud, though proud, is not the term i would ideally have asked people about has certainly fallen, as has pride in democracy in our system of government, which is a bit worrying. there's nothing wrong with having a critical view of our
9:43 pm
past, kezia. it's a good thing we visit them better understand our history. but there is a growing tendency to perhaps look ideologically at our shared history without fully contextualizing it. is that a problem?— contextualizing it. is that a roblem? ., ~ �* problem? no. ithink you're riaht, problem? no. ithink you're right. it's— problem? no. ithink you're right. it's all _ problem? no. ithink you're right, it's all about - problem? no. ithink you're right, it's all about the - right, it's all about the balance. there's a danger of studies like this that think that a particularly the fallen pride in british history in and of itself is a bad thing. it might be a good thing. it might bea might be a good thing. it might be a good thing that is a country we decided that our past as an empire and dominating other countries around the world is well and truly behind us and not something we should have been proud of for the culture wars reference in that package i think play here as well. we had a lot of debate about our relationship with slavery in trying to make reparations for that. if that's less people feeling a bit less proud of their history, i think it's a good thing. i their history, i think it's a good thing-—
9:44 pm

9:46 pm
background for them having faith and confidence and dare i say pride and cultural sport institution might be the one thing that keeps us together. i adores that message for the i am biased, ishould adores that message for the i am biased, i should say that. many of you won't agree, i know that. after the break it's time for the panel. stay with us.

9:52 pm
an appeal against a decision that could have led to a points deduction for an alleged breach of premier league profit and sustainability rules. leicester's appeal was based on the fact they were playing in the english football league — not the premier league —at the time the charge was issued. the independent panel has now found the premier league did not have the jurisdiction to punish the club and can't take action. in a statement the premier league says it's "surprised and disappointed" by the panel's decision. america's emma navarro is into herfirst grand slam semi—final after beating paula badosa in straight sets at the us open, navarro, who knocked out the defending champion coco gauff in the previous round, was powered by the home support behind her in new york. badosa struggled to cope with the partisan atmosphere, and although she made more of a fight of the second set, navarro had too much for her, winning 6—2 7—5. for her, winning 6—2, 7—5. she'll play either the second seed aryna sabalenka or china's zheng qinwen for a place in the final. another american hoping to reach their first grand slam semi final is taylor fritz who's up against the former us 0pen finalist sasha zverev at the moment on arthur ashe.

9:57 pm
to kill off these various frontal systems, these old weather fronts, if you like, just bringing bands of clouds and bits and pieces of showery rain, some clear spells in between. it'll be quite misty and murky in places. not as muggy as last night across the southeast corner — 1a in london, maybe dropping all the way to four in the highlands. so, as we head on into tomorrow, we will still have those old weather fronts bringing areas of cloud, some showers which will break out through the day, some heavy ones across eastern england. this cluster of heavy showers drifting southwards across scotland, but there will be one or two showers elsewhere, some spells of sunshine, too, and it will be quite a cool, fresh day compared with some we've had recently. 14—20 degrees covers things for most of us. now, into thursday, this little weather system here drops its way southwards and tends to combine with this broad area of low pressure spinning over continental europe, and that is going to bring some rain. in fact, could be quite a lot of rain that affects southern england, wales, the midlands as we go through the day on thursday. further north, perhaps quite a lot of cloud feeding in, especially across eastern parts. some spells of sunshine, particularly for western scotland and for northern ireland.
9:58 pm
breezy, in fact quite blustery in the south, lighter winds further north and it will start to feel a bit more humid. that will continue into friday. our low still swirling to the south, still bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly across southern parts. but with the winds coming from the near continent where it has been very warm of late, it is going to feel really quite warm and humid as we end the week. so, friday looks like this — outbreaks of rain, particularly across parts of southern england, the midlands, into wales further north. areas of cloud, yes, but some spells of sunshine. and with that feed of humid air, we will see some pretty high temperatures on friday, widely into the 20s, mid 20s for some including western scotland. we could get up to 25 degrees with some sunshine across that western side of scotland. what about the weekend? well, still rather warm and humid, at least for a time. some rain, particularly down towards the south, drier and brighter further north.
