not that many people had been to peppa pig world at that cbi events, but let's assess whether this is williams joins us from the daily telegraph and joe is here, co—founder and director of delta poll. i'm also told that you have been dubbed the housewives favourite poster by the times. laughter. which is an interesting moniker. but let's stick to the story here. help me and to everyone assess this peppa pig story. a huge amount of attention, but in the long run, does it matter? well, when looking at any of these such events, it's important to distinguish between turning points, as in true moments that make a difference that lasting in the polls and simply talking points. those moments that may produce a spike in support in one way or the other, but don't actually make a lasting difference, it's long—term trends are interested here, and i would say that this peppa pig incident if you like, pig gate or peppa pig gate, however you want to characterise it, is good for a couple of days perhaps a week or so but is more of a talking point. the reason for that is it's very much on brand boris

he was speaking at the annual conference of the employers' organisation the cbi. business's message to the prime minister? basically that they want words turned into action. the cbi conference is an opportunity for big business to speak directly and publicly to the government and prime minister. this year the director—general set out his message, which was that investment is needed in growing sectors like biotechnology, cybersecurity, climate friendly business and this sort of thing, and that this could lead to a second kind of industrial revolution and bring new wealth to poorer parts of the country. but he said business could not do this its own. this might be a new line from the head of the cbi, but simply saying the market will fix these things is not good enough. there are free marketeers in the debate who say that government should never play an active role like this, but i don't know a country in the world, including and especially the united states, where governments aren't active in economic geography. the prime minister was next up on stage and it was an

the boss of the cbi business group, tony danker, said that "levelling up" could not be left to the freelds, here's our business editor, simonjack. economic prosperity has not been shared equally over the last 40 yea rs. the government has promised new tory voters in the north that will change. and it came to the point of time to ask business leaders to help do it. in the end, it is you, it is business people who will fix this problem. unusually for a conservative leader, borisjohnson has never been that comfortable with a business audience. and at times today he lost his thread and his usual swagger. remember, this relationship has faced recent strains. this government has imposed tens of billions in new business taxes over the last year. how is that business friendly? if you ask me does the chancellor want to go further and reduce burdens on taxpayers and businesses, of course he does. but don't forget, we have just been through a pandemic, we will get to relieving more of the burdens of taxation but you've got to do it in a prudent and reasonable way. the conference was held over eigh

that speech was in front of the cbi, the main business and industry organisation in this country, atcheme, you know, all kinds of economic problems in terms of potentially rising inflation and so on. boosterism was not what these people wanted to hear. they wanted facts and a government agenda. now, while borisjohnson may have been able to get away with riffing on, you know, various things in the past, this is a serious moment for british industry and for the economy. and a riff on peppa pig was not what was required. it also perhaps pointed to wider problems within the administration, a lack of grip, a lack of rigour. and, you know, the various problems that the government has had recently. you've talked a lot on this show about about potential sleaze, the problems with not investing in the rail network that they thought they were going to invest in in the north of england, which was the plank of his election strategy in 2019, investing in the north, levelling up. levelling up. all that added to a sense that this government is not on top of things. and that's why borisjohnson�*s app

speaking at the annual conference, the cbi's director—general tony danker said that "levelling up" couldt. the prime minister told the same conference that "levelling up" was his "moral mission" and an "economic imperative". but his speech didn't entirely go to plan, as our business editor simonjack reports. economic prosperity has not been shared equally over the last a0 years. the government has promised new tory voters in the north that will change, and he came to the port of tyne to ask business leaders to help him do it. in the end, it is you, it is business people, who will fix this problem. after famously rejecting business concerns over brexit with a four—letter dismissal, borisjohnson has never, unusually for a conservative leader, felt entirely comfortable with a business audience. his trademark riffs — this one on the motor industry... evs may not burble like sucking doves and they may not have that "vroom—vroom, rrra— rrra— rrra !

they say it's 1.75 trillion, we know that cbi was going to come out and scored closer to 4 trillion,y know that, that's why the biden administration today came out and poured cold water, they used to love the cbo when we pass the tax cuts, came out and applauded the score then but now laying the groundwork by pouring cold water on whatever they come out with here in the next couple of days. they are lying to us about the effects of this socialist spending bill they are trying to vote on sometimes weak. >> laura: just so people understand what this means, these increases of prices mean to the average family out there, the cost of meat and poultry, basic food items since october of 2020, they have risen almost 12%. according to the government's consumer price index, the price of beef has climbed even further, 20% higher than last year, chicken a 7.5%, pork is 14%, but pork is cheap in washington, d.c., is it not? that's easy to find. >> that's right. we've never seen a president's poll numbers tank badly is joe biden's, his popularity has gone down so badly and it's because of inflatio

cbi's chief economist joining us now from glasgow, where she has been attending the cop summit.he spent nine years at the bank of england. did the bank of england make a mistake today? >> i don't think it was a mistake. it was clearly a decision that was on a knife edge. i think what the bank of england had been doing is trying to balance, on the one hand, huge inflationary pressures and supply chains at the moment. if you talk to businesses, there are supply shortages across different sectors, particularly in vital components like semiconductors, and we are also seeing rising energy prices. but on the other hand, we have seen some softening in demand recently. consumer confidence has come back a bit. the pandemic is still very much with us, even if we hope to move beyond it, and we are learning to live with the virus. we saw the bank put out somewhat softer growth expectations. so i think what we do know is that interest rates will go up at some point over the course of this year, but i think what the bank of england decided is that it was better to wait until they had a bit mo

tom: i know you and the cbi has been very vocal about the impacts of tax hikes and tax rises we are seeingthe u.k. government. when it comes to supply chains, what are we seeing in terms of british businesses's ability to adjust to supply chain pressures that remain. how acute are these problems and where on the list of issues you outlined for us do these feature as a priority? lord bilimoria: absolutely, supply chain issues across all sectors. in my own business, we've had severe supply chain issues. it is affecting everything, every industry. every event i go to, everyone is suffering from one supply chain issue or another. especially labor force. this is why we say to the government, you got to be more flexible when it comes to labor shortages. you have the migration advisory committee, make it like the monetary policy, which is independent and every month recommends what happens to the interest rates. it can be ramped up to include not just academics but economist and business people so that regularly they advise the government sector by sector, you need to allow more people, so many t

lara: i like to build by cbi forecast bottom up. energy is what you look at.y prices have doubled, oil prices have doubled. look at durable goods. over 13% year on year. i do not think we see it continue trajectory like that. even if these prices stay at high levels, on the month on month levels you see it moderating back down. i want to be clear that anybody who says they can nail down an inflation or cast probably has too much confidence. the uncertainty is wide. it does not take much inflation to impact financial markets. it will probably be higher than pre-pandemic. matt: you work at the federal reserve bank of new york were a while. you know how they operate. do you think this fed is a lot different than the fed we saw, the paul volcker we saw in the 1970's and 1980's, in terms of not only its adoption us but its desire to put -- not only its dovishness but it's desire to please markets? lara: you hit on something important. when you look at market pricing it feels like we internalize a senior number of rate hikes next year. the equity market has not made

and then also we're encouraged by the build back better act that is going to set aside $5 billion for cbi it's going to take addressing the root causes of crime, and that's going to take time because we didn't get to this problem overnight, and we won't get out of it overnight, but we're already seeing that homicides are down almost a third from last year, and then we're also deploying different deployment strategies of our existence force to make sure that we are present in neighborhoods and doing more community policing, so this coupled with other violence intervention initiatives we're starting to see some progress. >> on tuesday voters in minneapolis, minnesota rejected a ballot measure that would have replaced their police department with the way it was described as a public health-oriented department of public safety and the voters rejected that. what do you think that says about the push for police reform and criminal justice reform after george floyd's murder there? >> well, i think you absolutely have to consider gun violence as a public health cries, and that's what we're doing

the significant conservative rebellion last night came after a speech to the cbi conference of business the prime minister lost his place in his notes and got sidetracked about his visit to peppa pig. forgive me. some this morning, even the former health secretaryjeremy hunt, who abstained from backing borisjohnson�*s plans last night, have been forgiving to him. the speech didn't go particularly well, but i think the bigger picture is the things that matter to ordinary people, for example, the booster programme, which is by far the biggest anywhere in europe, means that we have a better chance of having a normal christmas this year than many countries in europe. i think in the end that is the kind of thing that will matter more to most people. but some of those who represent ordinary people, mps, feel their patience is wearing thin. after a rocky few weeks of difficult headlines about sleaze, less generous plans for railways and now social care, some of those who didn't back the government last night feels it's not good enough for ministers to just say, "trust us, we have done the sums

we saw the 6.2% on the cbi which sent a few shock waves to the markets.s, we will probably see a strong number. our forecast is at least 1.1% gain. a lot of that will be due to price effects. real sales will actually be under some pressure. the fed will need to look through these price effects to determine exactly what is happening with consumer spending. the picture may not look as rosy as the headlines will suggest. yvonne: what does it mean for e.m.? it seems like the trade seems to be diminishing. where does it look better? mitul: it is diminishing. partly, the victim of higher u.s. yields and costs reducing the attraction. we have seen several central banks hike rates. outside of asia, mexico, brazil, for instance. india, hungary and poland. south africa may hike this week. there is still some opportunities to carry the high-yielding countries. we're bullish on the likes of the brl. even in asia, the rupia, we are still constructive. we don't think it has died away completely but it may look less attractive as yields continue to push higher in the u.

that speech was in front of the cbi, the main business and industry organisation in this country — andin the north, levelling up — all that added up to a sense that this government is not on top of things. and that's why boris johnson's on top of things. and that's why borisjohnson's approval ratings are the lowest of his permission at the moment. latte the lowest of his permission at the moment. ~ ., , ., , moment. we have 'ust a couple minutes left. _ moment. we have 'ust a couple minutes left. is _ moment. we have just a couple minutes left. is there _ moment. we have just a couple minutes left. is there any - minutes left. is there any reason why borisjohnson should be worried about this particular trough? every prime minister has troughs and peaks in their time prime minister has troughs and peaks in theirtime in prime minister has troughs and peaks in their time in office. yes. prime minister has troughs and peaks in their time in office.— in their time in office. yes, and he also benefits _ in their time in office. yes, and he also benefits from _ in their time in office. yes, a

he was speaking at the annual conference of the employers' organisation, the cbi.be backed up with action. the cbi conference is a major set piece event that allows business to talk directly and publicly to the prime minister and this year the director—general of the organisation, tony danko, set out how the investment in growing sectors, like biotechnology, cybersecurity, climate friendly technologies, could create a new industrial revolution and bring new wealth to poorer parts of the country, in line with the government's levelling up agenda, but he said business could not do this kind of thing on its own. this might be a new line from the head of the cbi, but simply saying the market will fix these things is not good enough. there are free marketeers in the debate who say that government should never play an active role like this, but i don't know a country in the world, including and especially the united states, where governments aren't active in economic geography. the prime minister came up on stage next and his speech was frankly a little bit unusual and a

not missing an opportunity to make a couple of references to the speech by the prime minister to the cbinding out for most people, is from sir keir starmer, saying, accusing boris johnson of devising a working class dementia tax. a pretty loud session of prime minister's questions. to bring you some breaking news from the last few moments, while we were watching that, bbc sport has released a statement regarding former england cricket captain michael vaughan. it says he will not be involved in the bbc�*s coverage of the ashes in australia. he was named in yorkshire's report into the claims of racism during a player's time at the club. michael vaughan dug down from his bbc live show earlier this month and has repeatedly denied allegations made against him. —— stood down. a statement reads while he is involved in critics, editorial reasons, the bbc does not believe it would be appropriate for him to have a role in ashes team or wider coverage of the sport at the moment. we require contributors to talk about relevant topics and his involvement in the yorkshire story represents a conflict of
