pension secretary liz kendall has been speaking to the bbc�*s sunday with laura kuenssberg programme her plans. they're going to be released later on in this week. a white paper called get britain working. and so as part of that, the government is billing this as the biggest employment reforms for a generation, telling us we're going to see radical changes. now, the government says that getting people back to work is at the heart of its plans for economic growth. it says it's had concerns about figures showing that a near a record 2.8 million people have been out of work due to long term sickness. so, we understand that as part of these plans that they're going to be announcing, there'll be an overhaul ofjobcentres, as you were saying. plans for employment services to work closer with the nhs and the labour government is also talking about what it calls its youth guarantee. so this is the idea that young people have got to be earning or learning. support for them to get them into the workplace. and as part of this, liz kendall, the work and pensions secretary, she was asked by laura

speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg, the chief secretary to the treasury, darrenjones, defended think the public would recognise that bigger businesses are more able to burden some of the contributions that we need to make to the state. and actually getting the nhs back on its feet so workers who are off sick can get back to work is probably something that we take as a benefit from, as well as all the other measures that we have put forward in the budget. —— that retailers will benefit from. these things have to be paid for and we've designed the system that protects working people and tries to protect smaller businesses. so, the big business — tough, suck it up? well, there are more measures broadly in the budget that we think that are good for business, good for growth, good for the economy but on the tax contributions, yes, it's been designed in that way. also speaking to laura kuenssberg was the shadow foreign secretary, pritti patel, who said that the government could have adopted a different approach. it is all about political choices, clearly. we need a strong economy, fi

chancellor, delivering her first budget and lots of questions from laura kuenssberg on her programmegan by defending her budget. she talked about growth being her number one priority. she also faced questions about labour? decision to increase national insurance contributions for employers. part of the groups that have been caught up in that have been caught up in that our gp surgeries, social care companies and charities, because of the way the health care system works in the uk. some of these places are delivering nhs services but do not fall under the nhs. they have faced a lot of pressures from gp services and pharmacies to be made exempt. here's what rachel reeves said about that. what i would say around social care is that in the budget, we provided £600 million support via local government for social care, and that's part of a 3.2% real terms increase in local authority budgets this week. and i know as well there was lots in our budget that the charity sector welcomed. she was basically saying that the policy was here to stay. standing quite firm on that, despite the pressure

this is france's foreign minister, jean—noel barrot, talking to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg on sundayon previously didn't rule out putting troops on the ground. so can you see a day when french troops might be deployed in ukraine? what president macron said is that we should not set an express red lines. we should set a strategic ambiguity and not say what we ought or what we ought not to do. and this is the reason why we do not discard any option publicly. and again, in close cooperation with our allies, with the uk, with the europeans, with the us and with the ukrainians. we decide on what strategies to to undertake. is everything, though potentially on the table? we will support ukraine as intensely and as long as necessary. why? because it is our security that is at stake. ambassador sullivan, do you see that as being inevitable that there will need to be european troops on the ground? i can't tell you. what i can tell you is what that's i agree completely with that statement about the need for, more caution in what we say publicly about what we will we in the west, we in the unit

on sunday with laura kuenssberg this morning, the transport secretary louise haigh has been defendingo quizzed on when labour will be unveiling its full plans for social care. let's have a listen to that interview. the e2 fare cap was due to finish on the 31st of december. that was the funding settlement i inherited and the budget settlement that was agreed by the previous government. so we stepped in to protect the cap at £3, which means that for rural routes in particular, where the bus fares could have leapt back up to 13 or £14 in some instances, we're keeping it at much lower at £3. but crucially for fares in cities where previously the fare might have been even less than £2, we're setting it so that operators can't raise fares in line more than in line with inflation, so we wouldn't expect all fares to rise to £3. that is a maximum amount. what's really important, though, about this settlement today is that we're improving reliability and frequency of services for lots of rural areas. they don't have a bus at all, or they don't have one that turns up before 9 am or after 5 pm. t

the work and pensions secretary liz kendall addressed the issue on the sunday with laura kuenssberg programmeis morning. not just the costs, but the increases are absolutely jaw dropping. why do you think this has happened? i think there are a complex number of reasons. we know we are an older, sicker nation. life expectancy and healthy life expectancy had halted even before the pandemic. we are seeing a really worrying number of young people now out of work, not in education, training or employment, often driven by mental health problems, but also made worse if they lack basic skills. maths and english gcse. and many of these problems are concentrated in parts of the country that were decimated in the �*80s and �*90s that the last government promised but failed to level up. so there are real problems in certain parts of the country, and what we intend to do is to get britain working again. this is about increasing people's opportunities to work and get on at work with more, better—paid jobs in every part of the country. but it's also about understanding this fundamental issue. a healthy nati

speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg, mrs badenoch said she'd reverse the move to charge tax on privatepondent iain watson has more. have you got a lot of work to do, miss badenoch? can you unite the party behind you? she's a new conservative leader who's promising to drive her defeated party down the long road back to power. a massive week for both of you. kemi badenoch sat beside the labour chancellor today, but she was keen to emphasise that there weren't politically close. thinking about the economy in a different way, in my view, is going to be completely the opposite of what rachel reeves is doing. raising taxes in this way, whether it's employer ni or elsewhere, is not going to grow our economy. and despite not making any specific policy commitments during her leadership campaign, she has pledged to scrap labour's vat on private school fees. that is a tax on aspiration. taxing education is wrong. it is against our principles. she said conservative governments had got some things wrong, too, and drew an interesting lesson from lockdown. a lot of the stuff that happened around part
