r , shadow irresponsibly. meanwhile, shadow leader of the house of commons, chris philp, accused the chancellor of broken promises. >> well, first of all, the chancellor has been dishonest with the british public. she promised before the election she would not fiddle the borrowing rules. she fought and won the general election with a certain set of plans, and within a matter of weeks she has ripped those up. and worse than that, she's ripped them up in america. she hasn't even had the courtesy of telling the house of commons. so these are broken promises, huge amounts of extra borrowing that were not disclosed during the general election . the general election. >> now, the king is expected to speak about the path of history when he delivers a landmark speech to the commonwealth leaders as momentum grows for a debate about slavery reparations. it comes as number 10 reiterated the uk's position and said apologising for its role in the slave trade is not on the agenda. sir keir starmer remains clear that we should be facing forward amid mounting pressure from caribbean nations. however, the bahamas foreign

minister says justice is about more than money. they say it's about addressing the lasting impact of slavery. but conservative candidate kemi badenoch told gb news that the request for reparations will never end . never end. >> idea that paying reparations because some countries have demanded it means that everything is going to be okay, is for the birds. they will keep coming back for more and more. there's never an end to requests for things like reparations personally. i mean, you heard what i said at the debate. i think these things are a scam . think these things are a scam. >> two former tory councillors in scotland have defected to reform uk, giving the party its first elected politicians north of the border. the move comes as leader nigel farage issued a call for tory councillors to quit and join his party. reform said the decision by mark findlater and laurie carney, who were both sitting on the aberdeenshire council, demonstrated that the tory brand is broken across the uk and some breaking news coming from the

the times. reeves risks hurting pensioners. telegraph reeves warned over £50 billion debt fiddle the daily mail. labour's budget ploy will punch mortgage holders. the guardian pm rules out payments but could back non—cash slavery reparations. the metro , £1.8 billion cost of the metro, £1.8 billion cost of thieving crisis and the daily star. there's a guy each down the curry house where's he's paul weller. so those are the front pages. let's kick off with the daily mail in some detail. kerry, what are you picking out from there? >> you wouldn't know it, but the budget is coming up and we are very deep in speculations and warnings because no one likes a budget and it's coming soon. so we're hearing about changing a fiscal rules, new definitions and everything that the chancellor can do to kind of mould this budget into something

that that is not going to sound like a liz truss budget or cause fear in the markets and so on, which she doesn't seem to be able to escape from right now. >> you say that, but actually it does sound like a little bit like a liz truss budget, because there's suddenly a huge borrowing element, which is what jeremy hunt is warning is going to push mortgages out. yes. >> it's changing the rules could allow her to borrow an extra 50 billion, which yes, i mean , that billion, which yes, i mean, that is going to i don't really see that she's in a position that her that she can do much here. that's going to satisfy anyone. so, you know, i mean the talk of putting up business, national insurance, everything has knock on effects. it's always trade offs. there are always trade offs. there are always trade offs and they always lose. and i think we should just get rid of budgets. they're very upsetting and they're like getting a bill at the end of a meal where you've been eating with people who eat a lot more than you, and someone who's a drunk. >> well, that's certainly true. i do think on this occasion it's been like receiving the bill or being waiting for it for days after you finished eating the

meal. i mean, this has been trailed and trumpeted and hands have been wrung over it for feels like a good couple of months now. >> i would continue the analogy that i never got the meal and my parents ate the meal. >> you are too close to being a boomer yourself to get away with that kind of material. despite the new look. >> we'll see. well, yeah, i mean, the black holes like getting bigger. i think this is the worst of both worlds, because it seems like she's borrowing an extra 50 billion or the potential for it, which is nearly two grand per family. plus saying at the same time, oh, by the way, the tax taxes are going to go up to the worst they've ever been. so it's kind of like we're getting it at both ends. and it was a terrible meal. yes. so it wasn't even worth it . there was all the worth it. there was all the things. but until the actual budget comes out, you don't really know what's going to happen and you don't know how the market's going to react. of course, banks do like people being in debt. >> i want to know what the 50 billion is for. obviously, you know, there's a huge number of

established expenses they can't avoid. there's debt interest payments. there is the welfare sector. and so on. is that is that all she's going to spend it on, or is there maybe some infrastructure to create some new jobs, some levelling up? >> well, they're trying to build all these houses and they're talking about improving the nhs. although that was really meant to come. the nhs, through organising it better. so i don't know. and i guess that's what we're going to find out in the budget for normal people. i consider myself somewhat of a normal person. it's about what what's going to happen with my mortgage. i've got to redo my mortgage. i've got to redo my mortgage next year. if we borrowed more money, that means interest rates. this is anyway, this is what jeremy hunt is saying. that means that interest rates aren't going to be coming down as early as we thought, which means everyone's going to basically be paying higher for their mortgages. >> so especially those that, as you say, who only took out the shortest possible mortgage, thinking it won't be this expensive for long. yeah. >> so the other thing on the mail is you've got prince charles, he's in samoa and he's drinking some kava. and now i don't know if kava is if that's the same as the kava that you

get instead of prosecco. it could. yes. yeah . could. yes. yeah. >> hopefully it says traditional kava.i >> hopefully it says traditional kava. i don't know where that's different from a non—traditional kava that would be in the telegraph . telegraph. >> he looks very happy there. you can see him. i don't know. i think that's the before photo from the mail. and then in the, in the telegraph, you see him and he's just totally wasted. and he's just sitting, sitting in his chair . and he's just sitting, sitting in his chair. he's got his leopard skin or whatever. >> i think it's also after he's told them they're not getting the reparations, and then it's just lemonade. >> he's got the better half of the job, hasn't he? he sits there getting served by sort of, you know, traditional ceremonial dressed samoans and while, you know, keir starmer's got, well, hang on a minute there, guys. >> sorry, but he's wearing a bush jacket which is made famous, of course, by roger moore in james bond . it's nice moore in james bond. it's nice to see it making a comeback. they've also got obviously the reeves warned over 50 billion debt swindle fiddle. the other big story that they have is force is not ready for war, admits defence secretary . yeah. admits defence secretary. yeah. and this it's sort admits defence secretary. yeah. an
