more ways than one. this week. >> victoria atkins, they're speaking to us here on breakfast this morning. >> well, sir keir starmer is setting the stage for labour's first budget in almost 15 years, warning the country of unprecedented economic challenges. in a speech later today, he's expected to embrace what he calls the harsh light of fiscal reality, while promising better days ahead. key changes include raising employer national insurance and scrapping tax breaks for private schools, though taxes on working people, he says, won't increase. however, critics say the freeze on income tax thresholds is effectively a hike, sparking questions on who really counts as working people . chancellor as working people. chancellor rachel reeves will deliver the full budget on wednesday. this week, tommy robinson is back in court today, facing contempt charges over his band documentary called silenced. robinson , also known as stephen robinson, also known as stephen yaxley—lennon, was arrested after screening the film at trafalgar square in a rally in july . the documentary was shown july. the documentary was shown despite a court order banning

will be huge pressure now after that, ctc footage. does he just not the bloke to the ground. he then repeatedly punched him when he was on the ground. >> yes, that is what the footage seems to say. of course we don't know what happened leading up to the incident, but this was on a night out in cheshire. i think it was nearly 3:00 in the morning and we can see this footage here. and just a warning, there are some scenes of a physical nature in this clip that obviously quite distressing. >> it's just extraordinary. distressing. >> it'sjust extraordinary. he's >> it's just extraordinary. he's punching the man several times when he's lying on the floor in a statement, he said he'd felt threatened . this is the same mp threatened. this is the same mp who said that thugs and criminals should expect a decade in prison during the southport riots . he also, i almost laughed riots. he also, i almost laughed about it when dominic raab was foreign secretary and was accused of bullying and eventually had to resign. he said that dominic raab should resign for bullying because he threw tomatoes across a crowded office in a menacing way, in a menacing way. >> i'm not sure how you throw tomatoes menacingly, but yes, my

problem about throwing tomatoes isn't that you're bullying. >> somebody said. what a waste of food. exactly. >> i mean, i think, you know, the question here is, is what happened leading up? not that that in any way excuses that kind of violence, but i think it is important to know that. and he did shout in the footage, you won't threaten me again. so clearly something happened. but i do think that it's very unwise for somebody in a position like an mp to be drunk in the middle of the night in their constituency. it's not going to lead to anything good, is it? >> i mean, we don't know that he was drunk. it's just just just a supposition. and if you look at some of the photographs, you'd think, oh, he's he's the worst of the worse for the wear because you have to think, if you were stone cold sober, would you were stone cold sober, would you behave like that? >> but it is. i mean, of course, no excusing that behaviour. but we do live in a strange world now where everything people do can be recorded on cctv and played back instantly. and, and you know, you don't know the whole circumstances leading up. and i'm reading a book about politics in the 18th century at the moment, and mps behaved appallingly. they were constantly in drunken brawls, gambling through the night. but

of course nobody could watch it on twitter the next day. so it is a very we have a very different environment now for politics, and there wasn't the mass media and i mean, i mean, i mean, what i don't think there were people trying to pull the mp off, but he carries on. yes. yeah. which doesn't look good. >> but in yeah. which doesn't
