00:07and not to increase VAT. Does the Prime Minister still stand by his promises?
00:12Well, Mr Speaker, I'm glad that the Leader of the Opposition is now finally talking about
00:16the economy. I can update the House, Mr Speaker. Retail sales are higher than expected. Inflation
00:24is lower than expected. Growth has been upgraded this year, and the UK stock market is at an
00:32all-time high. The Budget is on 26 November, and we will lay out our plans. But I can tell
00:39the House now that we will build a stronger economy, we will cut NHS waiting lists and
00:44deliver a better future for our country.
00:47Well, well, well, Mr Speaker. What a fascinating answer. It is not the same answer that I received
00:56when I asked exactly the same question word for word on the 9th of July. Then the Prime
01:04Minister replied with just one word, yes, and then he sat down with a smug grin on his face.
