and the obr, less tax revenue.arteng, people on the right of the conservative party, john redwood, also former cabinet minister, have often said if you lower taxes , you get the economy lower taxes, you get the economy moving. and that means you raise more revenue. the obr has resisted that idea. but in this one instance, and jeremy hunt referred to this in his speech yesterday, didn't he, that the obr have found their inner laffer curve in this one instance, the obr have acknowledged the chancellor's argument as being correct because what the chancellor did yesterday, it was little noticed , but quite an ideologically striking move . he lowered striking move. he lowered capital gains tax from 28 to 24% on houses that are sold under certain circumstances. there are some complications that aren't your residential property. look, if you sell the house that you live in with your family and you've lived in it for more than three years, then you don't pay capital gains tax. that's a fundamental principle of living in th

now you criticise the obr with some good reason , the obr with some good reason, but i think, you know tories, your party set up the obr. i thought it was a good idea at the time. so did i. and actually i still think to some extent it's a good idea. and i think there in principle at the beginning to overspending beginning to stop overspending and labour and over borrowing by a labour government. thought it was government. and i thought it was well by robert chote, who well run by robert chote, who i thought what he was doing . thought knew what he was doing. >> i think it's less well run now, but i'll leave it there. >> right, but given those >> all right, but given those constraints, there a constraints, there wasn't a great could what's great deal he could do. what's really disappointing, think really disappointing, i think about government, the about this government, is the failure grips with the failure to get to grips with the fundamentals, and the fundamentals, and the fundamentals really concern government spending . you cannot government spending. you cannot get the tax burden

the obr is likely to lower the estimate of how much room he has, and that is probably an over estimate anyway. so he has very little space. he could opt for different things. it looks like he's going to concentrate more on their household than all businesses, therefore two major taxes, one is income tax, other is national insurance contribution. income tax is our broader tax and it would cost him more money whereas national insurance contribution focuses on people at work and would cost him a little bit less. having a bit less money to play with, like that give as a clearer sense of the conservative priorities here because we know there might be an election coming? it is actually who that money goes to, where they want to target votes? that who that money goes to, where they want to target votes?— want to target votes? that is a very aood want to target votes? that is a very good question _ want to target votes? that is a very good question because _ want to target votes? that is a very good question because it _ want to target votes? that is a very good question because it does - want

so, there's a lot of criticism of these rules and the obr. and is it fair criticism?te in, where the obr marks the homework before the budget and where the fiscal rules are set in the way that law is discussed with the chancellor, is it fair to think that this has constrained normal actions of a chancellor elected by the people? there's lots of different moving bits in that, so let's share some. it's a very long question, paddy, so we can share some blame around. i mean, look, the underlying thing that's making things difficult is the substance, which is the economy is not growing very fast. difficult is the substance, which is the economy's not growing very fast. tax revenues aren't coming in as fast as we would like to see. a higher inflation era has put lots of pressure on public services who also have to pay for things. so, it's the substance that's mainly making things hard and everything else is small compared to that. in terms of the policy freedom, then the chancellor chooses the fiscal rule. and if we're honest — and you didn't get into this on the show this

the obr, office of budget responsibility predicts the economy is going to grow and add 1.9% we are currentlyhnical recession. inflation rate forecast to fall below 2% target this year but the underlying debt... but the underlying debt, excluding bank of england debt, is forecast to be 91.7% of gdp this year, rising to 92.8% next year. the government also kept a freeze on alcohol duty, there is a lot to chew over and we have tried to bring up to date on the main headlines but our political correspondent helen catt has more in this report. is this an election—winning budget, chancellor? - asjeremy hunt posed for the last budget photo call before an election, he would have known that a lot was riding on the speech inside that that box. the economy has dipped into recession. the polls suggest that support for the conservatives remain stubbornly low. mr hunt and the tories have pinned their hopes on offering tax cuts. mr chancellor of the exchequer. hear, hear. the big new measure, much—publicised in advance, was a further cut of 2p in national insurance from april. when combined with the autumn

. >> today's obr forecast also shows that we have made good progress on the prime minister's three economics compared to when the three pledges were made, inflation is have, that is falling in line with fiscal rules, and growth is 1.5 percentage points higher than predicted. and as growth returns, they don't have a growth plan, so they may as well listen two hours -- to ours. as growth returns, our plan is for economic growth, not sustained through migration, but one that raises wages and living standards for families. not just higher gdp but higher gdp per head, and that means sticking with our plan for long-term budget for road, better public services, and lower taxes. christian: the chancellor is trying to follow his own fiscal rules which mean that debt as a percentage of national income coming down between the fourth and fifth year of his forecast. there are those who think you can run a hired debt to gdp. lots of countries do that, the united states is a good example. but jeremy hunt is fiscally conservative, so there were no budgets or no formal plans, just a vague penciled figure wh

what we saw in the budget was, because we have a plan for growth, the obr say that we will get back to can start to make very important... labour's party chair was asked what they would do. we'll set out those plans for our manifesto in detail. however, we don't want them to be threatened by that £46 billion black hole that, unfortunately, jeremy hunt has threatened with the national insurance change he proposed. the labour spokesperson told the bbc they are committed to the triple lock, too, but won't confirm it will be in their election manifesto. the liberal democrats dismissed mr hunt's pledge as a shameless election trick, but they have already committed to it themselves. this election year, all parties will have to spell out whether they think the policy really is affordable in the long term, with an economy that isn't out of the woods yet. georgia roberts, bbc news. the prince and princess of wales say they have been moved by the public�*s warmth and support, since catherine's announcement on friday, that she is receiving cancer treatment. a statement from kensington palace, als

we can see that now inflation has come down — living standards, which the obr thought was actually goingey've actually risen. i think also what you heard slightly in that clip and more generally injeremy hunt's interview was the challenge for the conservatives in making this argument that the corner has turned without sounding deaf to people's individual circumstances. and i think that's a particular political challenge for rishi sunak. because, let's be frank, one thing that almost everyone knows about rishi sunak is that he's extremely rich, and you hear the labour party insinuate his wealth in so many things that they say about him, even if they're not directly saying that he's rich. now, the risk, the political risk for rishi sunak, in sounding so positive about the economy, is that it actually reinforces the sense that he doesn't understand, doesn't face the same economic circumstances as so many voters across the country. conversely, if he sounds, if he allows that to become too much in his head and is sort of overly gloomy about the economy, then he won't be talking about what he

le estamos pidiendo a dios que obre en su vida con un milagro igual para la otra familia.. es que, según la policía, un motociclista de 20 años conducía de forma imprudente. se habría pasado una señal de alto, se estrelló contra la camioneta de cervantes. la familia dice que cervantes está en estado crítico y entre las lesiones tendría la médula espinal rota y se encuentra en coma. la patrulla de caminos de california está advirtiendo a los conductores que se atreven a llevar a un copiloto falso para usar el carril exprés sin pagar, que les va a salir más caro que eso. 238 $ de multa. estaría teniendo que pagar una persona si es descubierta. haciendo eso, yendo con un pasajero falso como es en estas fotografías que ha pasado, la patrulla de caminos publicó esta imagen. insisto, como recordatorio de lo que podría sucederle si infringe la ley. de veras? eso pues no se vale. no se vale. la policía no, no va a caer en eso, porque siempre están pendientes de quienes están infringiendo de esa forma. oye, llevan muñecos inflables. llevan cualquier cosa. se las inventan para poner

we will mark your homework like a human version of the obr!e got to ask you the big question that has become the classic interview question this week, after the prime minister�*s interview with grazia, do you make your own bed? no, but i do load the dishwasher. 0k. i do walk the dog. and mrs may would approve, i do take the bins out. because that is a man'sjob. so i do that as well. chris, i want to know what you thought about that, seeing the prime minister talk about an unmade bed. after you had been talking to the nation about your unmade bed in that premier inn the other day. i should explain to newscasters and to mel, who may not have caught that particular newscast, that about a fortnight ago, i was in wellingborough, i was covering the by—election in wellingborough, i had woken up at about five in the morning to write a piece for the today programme and all the rest of it, and we were doing a newscast that was live on the iplayer at seven o�*clock in the morning. and i am in a budget hotel, and i got out of bed and went to the little de

the obr finding that long—run gdp is expected to be 4% lower as a result of the government's brexit dealposed and exacerbated by our move from the great moderation into the age of insecurity. marked, first by stalling growth, stagnant living standards and political turbulence. increasingly, by global shocks. escalating geopolitical tensions and the challenges of climate change and the challenges of climate change and the net zero transition. let me put these in some perspective. in 1984, nigel lawson's mais lecture offered one of the clearest expositions of economic thought which underlay which he called the british experiment. his central contention was that the proper roles of a macro and micro economic policy were at the postwar accepted wisdom. that the postwar accepted wisdom. that the primary role of macro economic policy, was not, as it had once been, the maintenance of full employment, but the control of inflation. responsibility for growth and employment then, in the formulation of lawson, was the responsibility of micro economic policy. the reality is, lawson failed to follow t

jeremy hunt unveils a labour budget written by the obr.designed a budget singularly around let's not do anything controversial instead of what will help people's lives or get votes. now, i found that baffling initially , but then baffling initially, but then last night i realised what's happening . they've stopped happening. they've stopped caring. they don't want to do what it takes to sort any of this stuff out, because all they're bothered about now is protecting their legacy. on the dinner party circuit. theresa may is the latest rat to jump off the sinking ship. she won't be running for re—election . she be running for re—election. she joins 58 other conservative mps. i think it is now. it might have gone up in the last few minutes for ex conservative mps. one former snp mp who now sits with the conservatives, and five conservative mps who have said that they won't stand for re—election in their current seat but might give it a go somewhere else. so i think i make that now. 69 mps in total from our ruling party basically are off sajid

but you said also, that the forecast from the obr, which is the economic watchdog which marks your homework said that the numbers have gone against us. so the picture is bleaker than it was at the beginning of the year? why then are you looking now to cut taxes at all? these forecasts change the whole time. what happened in the autumn was that the forecast went in our favour unexpectedly, quite close to the end. so i was able to introduce the biggest business tax cuts that people like the cbi said was a game changer that would fire up the british economy... but i'm asking about now. there's people that look at the state of the economy and think, now was not the time. the imf have said that, the cbi, the business group said now isn't time for short—term tax cuts. some of your colleagues also think you shouldn't be doing it, you be instead spending spare cash on something hugely important things like defence, for example. is it not right to be looking to spend many in other places, rather than scraping around for quite a small tax cuts? if we're going to spend more money on defence, which i b

today's obr forecast also shows that we have made good progress on the prime minister's three economicriorities. compared to when the three pledges were made, inflation has halved, debt is falling in line with our fiscal rules, and growth is fully 1.5 percentage points higher than predicted. clamouring. and as growth returns... they don't have a growth plan, so they might as well listen to ours! as growth returns, our plan is for economic growth, to improve efficiency. neither are right. it's not fair to ask taxpayers to pay for more when public service productivity has fallen. nor would it be wise to reduce that funding given the pressures that tax as other uk residents. the chancellor said, all in all, it was a tax cutting budget. that might raise eyebrows. the overall tax burden is as high as it has been since 1948. but the chancellor insists the conservatives will always stick to their broader philosophy. we believe that in a free society, the money you earn doesn't belong to the government. it belongs to you. hear, hear! and if we want to encourage hard work, we should let people

so usually go and work the obr.t can be a and, and i think that can be a bit of a problem. and look, i the figures are certainly not made up, but i think anyone made up, but they i think anyone who's not involved in this world looks at it and sees that, you know, one month the forecast was one thing, and then a few months later, it's revised to be something completely different. and it always looks a bit odd because you were managing because if you were managing your finances, your household finances, you wouldn't that . wouldn't be able to do that. >> well, the prime minister, i'm not sure what he does in the household he's household generally, but he's he's too busy worry he's a bit too busy to worry about looking at a lot of things at the minute because he's too busy stacking the dishwasher and making and i'll tell us why. >> well, do you remember during covid when he was chancellor and his nickname was dishy rishi? we now know that that's literal. he loves doing the dishes. he loves restacking the dishes. after

and if we take those three fiscal events together, the obr has been clear. this will boost gdp by 0.7% as a direct result of our actions. like i said, it is a balancing act, but we're moving forward to a much brighter future with higher growth. >> let me weigh in on the opposition because the chancellor, rachel reeves, was also talking yesterday about borrowing only to invest and also matching the prime minister's fiscal rule when it comes to public debt. the message we're getting throughout the city of london is there's nothing scary around the opposition when it comes to business-friendly policies here. would you agree with that? is this good news for investors and for business people? >> i think investors and businesspeople should be assured that in this country, we have a very competitive and resilient economy, that it's a place people can come to to invest. i would point out to a lot of your viewers, that the opposition has very specific policies. it's hard to make an assessment what they would do in government. all we can can do is look at what they di
