difficult for labour to say here is an alternative, the kind of thing is the shadow chancellor rachel reevesschools, exemptions from tax and looking at loopholes but it wasn't the big guns being rolled into the election battle field. she does say they would do things differently, they would do things differently, they would do things differently, they would have a different growth strategy as well. but i think also by delaying these spending cuts until after the next election, of course there is pressure on the government to say where these cuts would fall, they've been very coy about that, but also labour would be questioned as to whether they would stick to government spending plans too. what they are trying to do and what they are trying to land at the moment is blamed for the conservative government right across the board. they are saying they are notjust the board. they are saying they are not just cleaning the board. they are saying they are notjust cleaning up the mess of the mini budget, we are in this mess because of 12 years of failed conservative policies and they will be hoping t

we seem to be stuck as rachel reeves said just other day in this doom loop like we are getting borrowingg , spending borrowing, taxing, spending again and again and again on top of each other from the budget thing, which i thought was so disappoint. as you saying earlier, we've got nurses on strike at the moment. they're asking a 19% pay rise. that's a lot in total would cost the lot in total it would cost the government about billion. government about 10 billion. the government about 10 billion. the government put forward for to increase in line with inflation . that's costing them £11 billion. that's basically dead end road those benefits are going nowhere. there is no growth generated from giving those increase in benefits. i mean , of the extraordinary mean, of the extraordinary things and we've heard it time and time again on gb news tv and radio is the number of nurses that are voting with their wallets and their feet. they're going to work in tesco or in some other supermarket before you got into debt advisory work, you got into debt advisory work, you used to work with young on b
