00:00Chancellor, you made history in your last budget when you increased taxes by £40 billion
00:05in the biggest tax-raising budget in over a generation.
00:10You said at the time it was a once-in-a-parliament tax-raising budget
00:13and you told me explicitly Labour would stick to our manifesto commitment
00:18not to increase taxes that working people pay.
00:23Today, do you still stand by both those promises?
00:27And if you can't or if you won't, aren't you making a mockery of the voters
00:33that put their trust in you at the general election?
00:37Thank you very much, Beth.
00:40I will set out the individual policies at the budget on the 26th of November.
00:45That's not what today is about.
00:47Today is about setting the context for that budget.
00:51And your viewers can see the challenges that we face,
00:56but the challenges that are on a global nature.
