rachel reeves told the laura kuenssberg programme that if they win the election, there would be somehings around straight away". it's clear that the inheritance that a labour government would have if we do win the next election will be the worst since the second world war. and i have to be honest that we're not going to be able to turn things around straightaway, but we will get to work on all of that. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent peter saull about what the shadow chancellor said. i think the budget on wednesday from the chancellor, jeremy hunt, presented a few challenges to the labour party. of course, the big headline was the cut to national insurance by two percentage points, and that's quite an expensive policy. so he came up with various other things to try and raise the money for that, including what was previously a labour idea to reform non—dom tax status. and labour said that they were then going to raise the money through that to spend on other things. so the obvious question to rachel reeves — and laura kuenssberg put it to her repeatedly today — was, how

this is what he said to laura kuenssberg this morning.s put down my taxes in a way that is responsible and prudent and may say the most un—conservative thing i can do would be to cut taxes by increasing borrowing, because that's just cutting taxes and saying future generations have to pick up the tax. i wouldn't do that, but i do want, where it's possible, to do so responsibly to move towards a lower tax economy and i hope to show a pack in that direction but this would be a prudent and responsible budget for long—term growth, tackling inflation, more investment, more jobs and that path to lower taxation as and when we can afford it. now, though, we have to take everything at this stage a few days out from the budget with a bit of a pinch of salt. there is always expectation management because chancellors love to lower expectations so that they can pull a rabbit out of the hat at the a dispatch box on wednesday. so the chancellor not ruling out tax cuts but all the indications are that this is going to be a more limited budget that perhap

yeah — so the chancellor, as you'll know, was on the laura kuenssberg programme the sunday before theou rather the bbc hadn't had him on? it's a common practice these days to have him on before the budget, but it would be far more useful to have him on after the budget, surely. do you think the bbc should be making that the condition? that they should say, "come on after, not before"? well, i think it's the easiest thing to do. more much more informative, really, he can say what he wants. he was supposed to be in purdah — that was the old way of doing it, wasn't it? well, absolutely. nowjournalists, it's clear nowadays, are being briefed by government figures on what might be in it. i suppose there's a question about, isn't it fair ifjournalists then share that information with the public? i have to look at that with — take a big pinch of salt, because we all know that governments indulge in kite—flying before something like a budget. there was talk of inheritance tax being cut, income tax being cut — and of course, they test the waters this way, and then, the bbc rise to the bait and

the chancellor sat down with my colleague, laura kuenssberg, this morning for a wide—ranging interviewshe started by pressing mr hunt on the cost of living that so many people say is the fault of the tories. well, let me tell you what we're trying to do politically. it was very straightforward as far as i'm concerned. the main reason people vote conservative is because they trust us to take the tough and difficult decisions that gets the economy back on track. now, in the last few years... not for a long time in the last few years, since 2010, we've talked about this before, we've grown faster than countries like germany. but, yes, in the last three years, we had a once in a century pandemic. we had a 1970s style energy shock. and what they've seen from this conservative government is that we've taken the really difficult decisions. i think the first time i spoke to you, the first interview i gave after i became chancellor, i had to put taxes up — very difficult for a conservative chancellor. i had to cut back public spending plans. and those very difficult decisions, what they expect

so we're going to bring this to an end part one by saying congratulations to laura kuenssberg — you'veellor. oh, thank you. which i didn't see anyone else get. and, you know, we do like to do when we get things wrong. we know you've got a scoop from the prime minister... from the chancellor. you've got a scoop from the chancellor. he's committed to the triple lock in the upcoming conservative manifesto. and on which basis your work is done, you can go home, lie down in a darkened room. i'd love to know, though, if people think that's a good thing or a bad thing, because not every... it sounds great. oh, yes. we're going to promise lots more money to pensioners forever more, actually. is that a good thing? if you are not of that age, you might not think it's a good thing. or even if you're a taxpayer, you might think that's not a good thing because it costs loads of money. now, then, paddy, the prince and princess of wales on every front page, apart from the independent, which talks about the russia attack. and the observer which talks about migrant boats in france. oh, yes. that's a go
