10% and gb energy will not produce any energy for people in this country.l going through parliament that's three pages long because it's an umbrella bill and the government haven't outlined how they're going to produce that energy , while also produce that energy, while also at the same time tackling our scottish oil and gas reserves, which will actually drive dependence on foreign fuels up, and make sure that pensioners and make sure that pensioners and people across this country will be paying more in energy costs, not less. it simply won't work. >> kate's been in touch. natalie fleet from labour. labour keeps talking about delivering and you have talked a lot about that today. but what have they actually delivered in the first 100 days, apart from a cut to the winter fuel payment? >> i don't feel super comfortable in parliament being an mp doing media because i'm a normal person, and the reason that i am here and the reason i believe strongly that we need normal people in politics, is because of the difference politics makes. already we've introduced the

that is why we have announced a new national wealth fund and switched on gb energy which will acceleratenologies. carbon capture and storage, for example, which we backed alongside bp, ecuador and others, and which shows the hard—headed approach we will take to industrial policy, a partnership, sharing the risk with the private sector, ambition, absolutely, but also unsentimental, guided by the market, focused at all times on the real potential for comparative advantage in this country. this is the point i would always make about our modern industrial strategy, in this country there has been a long rather arcane political debate about picking winners. well, we are not in the business of picking individual winners, but we are in the business of building on our strengths, growing the grass on the pitch and making sure the changing rooms are comfortable and the training ground is good, so that when our businesses compete, they are match fit. to put it simply, we give the businesses of this country the best conditions to succeed. i don't know why that is sometimes controversial in this count

if i look at energy gb energy we've set up, we've got rid of the onshore ban on wind, we've introduced a generation. we've set out the national wealth fund. there are lots of the things that i wanted to do. i gave a great long list at conference, i won't run through all that with you, but it is worth reminding ourselves that we have brought about quite a lot of change already in the time that we had, and that is in accordance with the timetable that i set for myself. and therefore, am i happy that we've hit the milestones i wanted to hit? yes _ the other thing that i'm really pleased about is that, um, i was firmly of the view that if we started taking tough decisions on the economy and being clear that we'd take those decisions and stabilise the economy, that would begin to trigger inward investment, which i think is vital to the growing of the economy. and over the last 3 or 4 weeks, you've seen big investment decisions. amazon putting money in £8 billion. you've had blackstone putting money in £10 billion, carbon capture £22 billion, half a million in northern ireland. just the othe

launching gb energy at the end of one word.sted will help teachers and parents understand what's going on. there's a whole raft of actual legislation going through, i mean, 100 days is an entirely arbitrary number of days to judge a government on. you know, governments should be judged on years, not days. >> what's gone wrong in the first 100 days? >> well, i think there's been a communications issue which is hopefully now been addressed . hopefully now been addressed. >> is it a policy issue though? >> is it a policy issue though? >> no, i don't think so because these are the policies that people voted for in large number. they have a mandate to do all of these things. people didn't vote to hand over the chagos islands to a chinese ally, did they? well, several governments have negotiated that over many years. and i think, you know, it's a way of guaranteeing the us base stays there. so i think that's why that's been done. >> did they vote to cut the winter fuel allowance for pensioners? >> we don't know what's going to happen

well, well, i mean, we've been told now that gb energy won't produce any energy. it's a bit tone deaf to say i will not sacrifice british industry to eco zealots when that's exactly what we've been doing for , well, several been doing for, well, several years. well that's it. we're going to take a quick break because we've got lots more coming up. the sun appears to be setting on the british empire, doesn't it, as the chagos islands are given to mauritius, could the falklands be next? >> well, that is our point of discussion. in three short minutes time >> join me camilla tominey. this sunday when i interview one of the most significant political figures of our era, boris johnson. nothing will be off limits as we discuss his autobiography , unleashed and autobiography, unleashed and everything in it. >> i failed to avert megxit, but i did deliver brexit and i'm very, very happy to be on camilla tominey show boris johnson on gb news. the people's channel johnson on gb news. the people's channel, britain's news channel that's the camilla tominey show on sunday at 9:

but then you find money for absolutely everything, including carbon capture and gb energy, which won'ttial things that have gone wrong and also, you know, no chance of stopping the boats either. that's gone up . that's gone up. >> well, i don't think anything substantial actually has gone wrong. i mean, i think there's some issues around the sequencing of some of these announcements. so why on earth would you put pensions up with the triple lock and only do that afterwards, when you've said that there's going to be a possible cut to winter fuel allowance, you know, things like that are missteps that could have been avoided. i would pick up chopper on a point, though, from the things that he was saying earlier from downing street. i think that this government is being held to a different account, a different, different account, a different, different standard to previous conservative governments and i think labour is always held to a different standard simply because, you know, the media looks at us in a very different way. and i think alastair campbell's point actually is, well made. s

gb energy and rail nationalisation . even though the nationalisation.he state has proven to be the worst entrepreneur in history, disgraced banker bernard madoff is a veritable safe pair of hands compared to whitehall officials trying to run a commercial enterprise. nick leeson, the man who closed down banngs leeson, the man who closed down barings, would do a betterjob. bankrupt model and reality star katie price is like a financial wizard compared to these faceless pen pushers. governments can't run companies. the end . it's all a shame, the end. it's all a shame, really, because most of us, myself included, largely agree with the goal of socialism a fairer, more equal society. everyone happy, everyone safe . everyone happy, everyone safe. no one with too much. no one with two little good public services. a safety net for those who need it. but it's how we get there. that is the debating point. call me old fashioned, but i would go for full throated capitalism, which has seen billions of people lifted out of poverty. i would have taxes low enough to p

gb energy in fact, the whole of the energy programme as it has been set out is going to add significantlye's bills. unless there's a new way of paying for it. and the reason i say that is because every time you build a wind farm, because wind is renewable, it doesn't. yes, but it doesn't blow all the time. you've also got to have another something on standby built and ready to swing in on those days where you need the power but you haven't got the wind and that's either by building them back up. and we haven't done that small scale nuclear power stations he talks about, but they're not underway. or you actually have to import. and then you're going to be on the wholesale price again. and that's going to put our prices up. so there's nothing that i've seen about this government's energy programme that makes sense from the perspective of keeping people's bills down. and frankly, i think it is deceptive and deception to tell people that's going to happen. you cannot build this amount of power. you cannot have it as intermittent . you cannot have to intermittent. you cannot have to spend as m

only labour offers a plan for real change to cut energy bills for good with gb energy, our new publicly energy company. >> and here's keir starmer saying that he's got a plan to save you £400. so there we are. well, let's have a bit of the reality, shall we? yesterday, energy bills rose by an average of £149 a year because the price cap went up 10%. in fact, we have the highest electricity phces have the highest electricity prices in europe. you're paying more for electricity than anyone in europe. but don't worry when they're not using giant metal flywheels. ed miliband's going to be relying on offshore wind, but the 2023 financial results will therein, as well. and it turns out that it cost the taxpayer £46 million to generate £13 million of electricity. so just so we're clear. ed miliband said he'd make us more energy secure, bring your bills down and create more jobs. the reality is there will be blackouts that leave us shivering in the dark. your bills have gone up and more people are unemployed. let's get our thoughts. my panel this evening. we've got the director of the popular c

they would point to things like gb energy, they'd point to workers rights that they're going to improvehings and the need to invest in pubuc things and the need to invest in public services that have have been struggling under the conservatives. >> well, i'm sorry, i take i would take issue with the premise of your question because actually the conservatives left this labour government with a very decent inheritance, with an economy that is growing at the fastest rate in the g7, the 22 billion black hole that they have made up, let's not forget, is a black hole that neither the treasury or the independent body for budgetary forecasting, the ibr, has actually been able to identify what this is actually aboutis identify what this is actually about is the labour government scrabbling around to find the £10 billion that they've actually paid out in inflation busting pay rises to train drivers and to doctors. so no, i'm sorry, i don't accept that. they have inherited a tricky financial situation. yes, of course. in fact, inflation, remember, was to down target levels when they took over the

>> i would say what we have achieved in this short time in government is absolutely exceptional gb energy difference. we're fixing the foundations, taking the difficult decisions, and we're going to have a decade of national renewal. >> we haven't yet seen any announcements. i mean , the grid announcements. i mean, the grid is empty. the news grid they talk about in journalism terms between now and the budget. do you worry about that? >> this is my blank face, because most normal people that we have to have in politics don't know what the news grid is. so i look forward to explaining the problem. >> you're right. natalie. >> you're right. natalie. >> yeah. your viewers don't know . >> yeah. your viewers don't know. >> yeah. your viewers don't know. >> well, they might, but you're avoiding the question by answering it that way, aren't you?1 answering it that way, aren't you? i mean , the point is, not you? i mean, the point is, not a lot is happening. well, because people are talking about it, you know, suits, spectacles, freebies. why not announce actual things and show your hand like pau

they announced plans to renationalise the rail services, established plans for gb energy and they tookem. they paid more public sector workers more money. and if you know, that's what they did, and some would say that was at the expense of pensioners and that was awkward for them. but then it all went very wobbly, very wobbly indeed. in the summer with this row about freebies, free glasses , about freebies, free glasses, suits and use of a flat from from a senior labour peer called lord alli. and then now we have today we have sue gray, the chief of staff, appointed . she's chief of staff, appointed. she's lost her job. she now is the nation's envoy . we're not even nation's envoy. we're not even sure what that job is. it didn't it didn't exist before. sue gray resigned late last week. morgan mcsweeney replaces her and we'll wait and see how that goes. so i think it's a feeling. i think it's they've made a rod for their own back. my analysis of this, martin, such as it is , is this, martin, such as it is, is that i was there in rolls—royce in derby during the election campaign. and rac

gb energy nationalising the rail. in in the pubuc course, the increase in in the public sector pay . and they've public sector pay. and they've taken away the benefit from 10 million pensioners this winter. the winter fuel benefit they maintain there's no problem here. but i do know there's very little planned to be announced between now and october 30th. i mean, really, everyone is waiting on tenterhooks for the budget. it's like a massive a tsunami about to break on whitehall, and we're not sure how it will be, how how the world will look after that. it's a big issue, i think. but i think as for now, they're to happy carry on governing without any big announcements. tom and emily, particularly when there are there are so many indicators that actually this, this very long wait for the budget is having a negative impact on our our economy. >> anyway, thank you very much indeed. christopher hope, our political editor, will speak to you a little bit later. and speaking of the budget and all things financial analysis by
