as part of the build—up, last weekend's sunday with laura kuenssberg included an interview withjeremyt. will government departments get extra money now this year to deal with the costs of inflation? or are you going to, as everyone expects, tell them they've got to stick with what they were given in 2021? well, as you know, laura, and i think andrea knows, i'm going to announce the decisions on those things on thursday. well, again, without explaining to you now what i need to announce properly to the house of commons on thursday, i will be announcing what will happen from april on thursday. i'm not going to say now what that is. but, laura, you're being very artful in trying to get me to confirm elements of the package that i announce on thursday, as i would expect from you. but i'm not going to do that, i'm afraid. a viewer called jens, originally from germany, but now living in northamptonshire, contacted us about that interview and recorded his response for us. as per usual, laura kuenssberg interviewed the chancellor on her sunday morning programme before the big budget announcem

as per usual, laura kuenssberg _ response fast.- kuenssberg interviewed the chancellor on her sunday morning programme before the big budget announcement on thursday. this seems to be the same pattern as andrew marr it before in his programme on a sunday, they always have the chancellor of exchequer on their programme before any such announcement. it then gives the chancellor each time the copout to say, oh, ican't chancellor each time the copout to say, oh, i can't give you any more details about it, you have to wait until the announcement on thursday. so my issue therefore is, why not inviting the chancellor the sunday after such an announcement, where he then could give further detail and explanation to the budget details? we asked the laura kuenssberg programme for a response to that point and they told us... news desks went on high alert on tuesday evening as reports came in of a development which looked potentially to be highly significant. tonight at ten, a russian missile, part of a big attack on ukraine, is said to have ki

if lahour— nandy was asked by laura kuenssberg if labour would back wages going up in line _ if labouree people paid enough money to live on and rewarded very for the contribution that they make but what you are asking me is, not, would we match inflation, you are asking me to commit to a specific number without being involved in the negotiations and seeing the books. we think it is unconscionable that nurses and rail workers that went out this country moving during a pandemic are not being paid enough to put food on the table. we are looking at every single way that we could help with that including the long—term health of the economy and getting more resources very quickly in the first 100 days of a labour government into the national health service by scrapping the non—dom status. there is a problem that people are burned out in the nhs and thatis people are burned out in the nhs and that is compounding the national —— cost of living crisis. we are going to do everything in our means of disposal to help people because they deserve this. this disposal to help people because they dese

yes, talk to laura kuenssberg _ pretty clear from jeremy hunt. ye: talk to laura kuenssberg on the bbchis morning. not exactly surprising news for any of us. let's face it. we are expecting 25 million of tax races and 35 billion of cuts, we will come to the cuts later. he did not go into any detail with laura today, but the speculation is 45p on income tax. that will affect people on earnings of 100 rev thousand. the tax there shall generally be raised so thousands of people are going to a higher tax band as their wages go up. also there is the suggestion that on the most vulnerable get help with their energy bills after next april. the risk he runs is offending the right wing of his party, who are against tax races, and as he said himself this morning, it is something that goes against the grain for them personally because he got into politics to lower taxes, not raise them, but given the situation we're in he has little alternative. much of this is down to the failure under the last government, liz truss and kwasi kwarteng, whose budget, they say, is costing us 30 billion of that mon
