so you knew hunt very well , jeremy hunt knew hunt very well, jeremy hunt only sort of a few years ago was talking about the need to cut tax is on businesses to growth. he then as chancellor raised taxes on businesses , do you taxes on businesses, do you think he has changed his mind or what's gone on there . that's a what's gone on there. that's a good question. i think that he has an evaluation of current economic situation and has come to a different conclusion than . to a different conclusion than. people like me would have come to i would be cutting taxes, not increasing them . but i think increasing them. but i think that he felt , along with rishi that he felt, along with rishi sunak's that inflation was the number one priority on cutting inflation needed to be done first. i do think jeremy is still very much a tax cut. he clearly wants to massively reduce levels of corporation tax in this country. but unfortunately he feels he's had to raise it to cut inflation as part of a package of other things. first. i'm not sure that's the right decision. and i'm i've told him as much, bu

jeremy growth of 0.3. however, the chancellorjeremy hunt says chancellor jeremy hunt says britain outperformed many other financial forecasts last year despite higher interest rates and tighter government budgets. the shadow rachel reeves though and tighter government budgets. the shad blaming the imf stance on 13 years of conservative economic policy . the uk economy has got policy. the uk economy has got huge potential and yet the government is to seize the initiative and we see today with these forecast from the imf, with the uk now at the bottom of the league table for growth, both this and next, the government needs to be doing so much more to fulfil the potential of the uk economy it needs away from home. the actor alec baldwin has been a charged today with involuntary manslaughter over the fatal shooting on the set of the film rust . cinematographer helena shooting on the set of the film rust. cinematographer helena was killed during rehearsals in the us state of new mexico in 21 when a probe gun that baldwin was using a live round . baldwin was using a live round. baldwin says he never pulled the trigger a

the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says there is reason for optimism.l, the fact that we have avoided a recession, in fact we were the fastest growing major country last year, shows there is underlying resilience in the uk economy. but we are not out of the woods, inflation is still much too high, that is causing pain forfamilies up is still much too high, that is causing pain for families up and down the country, which is why we need to stick to our plan to halve inflation. if we do that, and play to our strengths in science and technology, we really can be one of the most prosperous countries in europe. so that was chancellorjeremy hunt speaking earlier. let's get more on this from ben boulos, who was in manchester, talking to us about what all of this means on the ground. ben, overto all of this means on the ground. ben, over to you. yes, this is what economic activity looks like, including at this construction site, it is all about building things, it is about making things, producing things, selling things, buying things. that is what the figure ou

but wasn't it jeremy hunt? wasn't these days. but wasn't it jeremy hunt?wasn't campaigning hunt?as trying to be 15% tax when he was trying to be the leader my right and not the leader of my right and not thinking? remember that thinking? i don't remember that . am right. it has . i think i am right. it has been none of that. i've been wrong. so if i'm wrong, i take it on chin. wrong. so if i'm wrong, i take it on the chin. £68 billion per annum. corporation annum. that's what corporation tax yet raises. 68 tax rises yet raises. 68 billion. it's the fourth receipts, the fourth biggest set of tax receipts in this country. use the interest. do one thing, michel. i want to reassure people and i say this as a business owner and found out we are not overly punitively taxed in this country in my humble opinion. but i thought we had the highest tax burden since one of the walls. but relative relative to other countries . relative to other countries. well, would you pay more tax if i had trust in the government, it was going for the right things to make this country even better and even f

is it time jeremy hunt scrapped that planned corporation tax hike?n knife crime deaths have reached a record in england and wales, according the owen s. there have been 282 homicides committed a knife in the year to march 20 to a whopping 19% rise on the previous year. what's to blame for this fatal rise? and it's been that we have had not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but 15 housing ministers since the conservatives came to . is this conservatives came to. is this rapid turnover to blame for the government's failure to get to gnps government's failure to get to grips with the housing crisis? but first this morning, the latest results of the gb news people's poll . the conservative people's poll. the conservative vote remains at a flat 21% this week, leaving labour with half of the national vote to the poll. this comes just after the west, lancashire by—election saw labour's ashley dalton voted in the new mp with 8000 more votes than her conservative counterpart. i'm joined now matt goodwin, professor of politics in the school of polit

jeremy hunt does not want to be the first chancellor to put a fuel duty in more than a decade.ey will look in those first if they've got any money to spend. really, really interesting that the sort of different i suppose should the conservative reducing different i suppose should the constaxitive reducing different i suppose should the constax burden reducing different i suppose should the constax burden or reducing different i suppose should the constax burden or there ducing different i suppose should the constax burden or there are ng different i suppose should the constax burden or there are all that tax burden or there are all of these voices calling for higher defence spending here, higher defence spending here, higher sector wages over higher public sector wages over there, i suppose big decisions. but in your view the government's probably going to come down on higher spending rather than lower taxing? yeah, i think they do. they're not showing any signs of wanting to kind of bring down that tax to freeze that corporation tax or make cuts. so we see make all the tax cut

and jeremy hunt of to do that. and jeremy hunt of zachary, you're right, managed to do that.e inching the polls are just inching continually the wrong continually in the wrong direction, not the direction, not for the conservative party, him conservative party, for him person have look at it. person. we have to look at it. he goes cabinet ministers in he goes to cabinet ministers in the , what, three the space of, what, three months? he i would reckon, is on the verge of a third, almost feels . dominic raab within feels. dominic raab within a deja vu situation with nadhim zahawi where there seems inevitability it i would say nigel rightly or wrongly , nigel rightly or wrongly, rightly or wrongly, he's always denied allegations, though they do date back four years and you get things different get things from different people. but there is just another sense . this is a problem another sense. this is a problem that's been dragged out that's overshadowing some the announcements. the government's trying . and think the trying to make. and i think the other problem that he faces,

i think now jeremy hunt to show now he and jeremy hunt to show the leadership and the vision and starte reached the base and they can move forward now, but they've got to show that can do that. and show that they can do that. and i think that requires a little bit more than simply saying steady she goes . and it steady as she goes. and it requires more than saying we're going halve inflation because going to halve inflation because halving inflation still going halving inflation is still going to it at 6. that's still to leave it at 6. that's still really poisonous and will affect people's lives. they need to do better that getting better than that at getting inflation down and tax. so how how how then do or when and if those when this is a better question because that's more relevant to us in a sense . we've relevant to us in a sense. we've got a budget in march . march. got a budget in march. march. yeah. way i mean is that will be the first building block of trying to get things back. well it would be nice to think so. everything that's coming out of the is suggesting that the treas

no, neil, he, jeremy hunt does seem to have changed his tune on on brexit.hose words ring hollow ? but do those words ring hollow? the question i'll be asking whether labour can be trusted with brexit at a later in the hour. with brexit at a later in the hour . but with brexit at a later in the hour. but neil notwithstanding misgivings about the current situation , do we, as it stands, situation, do we, as it stands, have a that'll do brexit. have we got a good enough break. it is what we have now. better than remain . oh that's certainly remain. oh that's certainly true. and we're outside the eu institutions as now. we haven't had to make to eu budget the billion a year as jacob rees—mogg has been pointing out, we haven't had to contribute nearly 200 billion to the eu bailout fund for the of the pandemic and so on. so yes, of course there are massive , even course there are massive, even though we're not used many of the powers that we require it, since we officially left the eu. nevertheless, we have the freedom to use them which we didn't have before. so

and then jeremy hunt came along and reversed the reverse . so we're reversed the reverse.e now we are going up from 19 to 25. of course , in april 2023, 25. of course, in april 2023, the obe also says that this would raise around the obe also says that this would raise aroun d £20 billion would raise around £20 billion a yeah would raise around £20 billion a year. it's not to be sniffed that they say it's 18 billion. and a lot of people, including myself, think that that's wrong. if you look at how completely skew wetherby our forecasts have been on corporation tax over the last few years , huge differences last few years, huge differences in what they predict and what actually happens . i would say actually happens. i would say that if we keep corporation tax where it is , many businesses where it is, many businesses that would otherwise go bust, what otherwise fail to survive will actually keep on going and therefore generate more tax revenue . i actually think revenue. i actually think raising corporation tax to 25% will cost the treasury money, but far more importantly

chancellor jeremy hunt the figures show underlying but said we are not out the woods. but are we out of the woods in regards to recession? we'll exploring this in depth . and it's crunch time in depth. and it's crunch time for the ukrainian president as he enters the last of his european tour. it's been a busy week for mr. zelenskyy he tries to convince his european counterparts to supply ukrainian with fighter jets to, aid the war effort. well, zelenskyy could walk away empty handed. we'll bring the latest . more we'll bring the latest. more than 21,000 people are now known to have died in monday's earthquakes in turkey. and with the united nations , the full the united nations, the full extent of the disaster is yet on player. rescuers still searching rubble for survivors , but hopes rubble for survivors, but hopes are fading. more than four days since the first wave. we'll have the latest images and developments, the show. and of course, i want to hear from you. give me your political send in your views and opinions . your views and opinions. emailing gb views at gb

so the big question is going to be will jeremy hunt stand by the to raise corporation tax from 19% toit's going to be very difficult for him. and what makes it even difficult for him is the news this week very unwelcome news that astrazeneca is going to set up new is going to set up its new headquarters in ireland rather than than in the northeast of england because course corporation tax in ireland is much lower than in the uk . so much lower than in the uk. so jeremy and rishi sunak's jeremy hunt and rishi sunak's argument that brazen corporation taxes is a simple way to try and put a lid on inflation is being undermined by the idea . it just undermined by the idea. it just will provide investment in britain and that's what we need to see growth through. so the astrazeneca episode, the whole thing was was was gravely embarrassing because it was, as i said in introduction, in the same week that michelle was appointed secretary of state and george freeman in government now as well as the science minister, which he he used to do way back when he was parliamentary under of state for tha

there's criticisms aimed at rishi sunak and, jeremy hunt's unwillingness to think again on taxation ,s on the taxation, but she is on the record as saying she thinks taxing businesses higher rates of corporation tax are profoundly wrong and would further limit growth. that was the subject of much of our conversation yesterday . so it conversation yesterday. so it would appear no sign there of putting together . but that is putting together. but that is partly because are essential questions for the conservative party's . many, like liz truss party's. many, like liz truss believe the party isn't seen to stand any more for lower taxation or indeed for growth . taxation or indeed for growth. it stands for nothing. some are concerned. rishi sunak and jeremy hunt certainly are only in favour of tax cuts when the economy can bear them and the pubuc economy can bear them and the public finances can manage them well. meanwhile, labour is of course being seen by many of you , is now being trustworthy on the economy. that is not my judgement. it is your judgement judgement. it is yourjudgement

let's hear from jeremy hunt. >> we recognize it is diicult for families and businesses up and down therest rates go up but much harder for them would be if we did not take decisive steps to bring down inflation and that is why the bank of england is right to do what they have done today and we in the government much -- should make sure we support them with what i do in the budget to make sure we make it easier, not harder, for them to harm inflation. >>. it is his labor shadow. -- here is his labor shadow. >> that is whether the service got it so long -- wrong last year when they tried to push through a load of unfunded tax cuts. the international monetary fund pointed this week to the impact of mortgages in the u.k. contributing to the worst outlook in the u.k. compared to countries around the world so we are feeling the effects of the misjudged decisions from the conservative party. >> let's touch on what the bank of england is forecasting for the u.k. economy. it says britain will have a recession but one that is shallower. the economy shrinking in -- 0.5% -- that compares with the

chancellor jeremy the three months to december. chancellorjeremy huntas chancellor jeremy hunt has described the figures as a sign of resilience , adding that the of resilience, adding that the best thing to do to make people's we adjust go further is to have inflation. but labour says the government has left the economy lagging behind on the global stage . economics global stage. economics commentator laura laird told gb news what trends we are seeing . news what trends we are seeing. unemployment rate is still 3.7. thatis unemployment rate is still 3.7. that is increased a bleak low. so many countries with envy that the eu is looking at over 6. and that's a historical low for them. so even if we discuss unemployment rate and that rising, it's still very , very rising, it's still very, very low. vacancies are beginning to fall. that means that more people are coming into the workforce or maybe companies aren't advertised as much, but they're still seen to be plenty ofjobs. they're still seen to be plenty of jobs . car giant ford says it of jobs. car gi

jeremy hunt wrote that, and he's with me now. r farmland and control our food supply, jeremy? >> yeah. we've been seeing this for years now. basically, you see a very similar pattern that china's doing. they wait for major american agribusiness companies to continue to kind of conglomerate into these big, kind of big super-companies, and then you see china acquire them in an attempt to control our food supply lines. so as the previous person mentioned, you saw that with smithfield foods based in virginia, and then you also see them acquiring our farmland, get this, next to strategic military bases here in the united states. and so you see this in north dakota, in texas. this is not just some coincidence. i mean, if you look at chinese ownership and marley the ccp -- particularly the ccp ownership of american farmland, it's gone up to $2 billion worth of farmland now. stuart: glenn youngkin, governor of virginia, he wants to flat out wan china from buying our farmland. can he do that? and would you do that, would you recommend that

former military intel officer jeremy hunt joins us now.ot to get -- we have senators going to get briefed today on -- with the information they gleaned from the ocean floor. we also know, too. were related to china. >> first off we have to understand china has been conducting intel operations for quite some time. they infiltrated our academia. some of our embassies here in the united states have actually been spy centers, collecting information on us. even more recently than that even. collecting information next to our strategic military bases. what we have to do now is up the anti-with now collecting information from these balloons. so, one of the things we have to do is get control, get the asset down from the air and get that pay load so we can actually see what they have been collecting on americans any that probably in the next couple of weeks what is going to happen. rolling back tape and see that the trump administration is not capable at that time of finding balloons in our atmosphere. they have denied doing it. and not one press

and jeremy hunt of to do that. and jeremy hunt of zachary, you're right, managed to do that.e inching the polls are just inching continually the wrong continually in the wrong direction, not the direction, not for the conservative party, him conservative party, for him person have look at it. person. we have to look at it. he goes cabinet ministers in he goes to cabinet ministers in the , what, three the space of, what, three months? he i would reckon, is on the verge of a third, almost feels . dominic raab within feels. dominic raab within a deja vu situation with nadhim zahawi where there seems inevitability it i would say nigel rightly or wrongly , nigel rightly or wrongly, rightly or wrongly, he's always denied allegations, though they do date back four years and you get things different get things from different people. but there is just another sense . this is a problem another sense. this is a problem that's been dragged out that's overshadowing some the announcements. the government's trying . and think the trying to make. and i think the other problem that he faces,

however chancellor jeremy hunt says britain outperformed many other forecasts despite higher interest rates and tighter government budgets. the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, says the stance is because of 13 years of conservative economic policy . and yet the government policy. and yet the government is failing to seize the initiative . and we see today initiative. and we see today with these from the imf , with with these from the imf, with the uk now at the bottom of the league table for growth both year and next, the government needs to be doing so much more to fulfil the potential the uk economy . it's been revealed economy. it's been revealed tonight the actor alec baldwin has been officially charged with involuntary manslaughter . the involuntary manslaughter. the fatal shooting on the set , the fatal shooting on the set, the film rust. cinema telegraph's helena hutchins was killed dunng helena hutchins was killed during rehearsals in the us state of , mexico in 2021, when state of, mexico in 2021, when a prop gun baldwin was using fired. a live round . baldwin fired. a live r

the dup since the appointment of jeremy hunt. the dup may accept it. they may accept .y they may accept. i doubt they will. this was boris johnson's big moment. ironic that the man who sold this terrible deal, who said there wouldn't be a border in the irish sea for any businessman, had a problem with cheques to give him a ring . he cheques to give him a ring. he saw this as his way back then. yes. although i think that that path to a comeback via this route is narrowing . lots of mood route is narrowing. lots of mood music was heard from olivia earlier talking about the idea david davis supporting this deal david davis supporting this deal. well, of course he does because he doesn't support boris johnson returning victory. so there's a lot of politics at play there's a lot of politics at play here. and i think if sunak does this with the does land this with the brexiteers it certainly brexiteers, then it certainly does decrease. boris johnson's stock. and let's be honest, that's exactly what number ten wants to do right now. that don't want a big blonde boris in the wa
