00:00So I think they're very disappointing. We've seen slowing growth on the quarter and in fact in September the economy has contracted and that's because of the choices that this government has taken, the Chancellor in particular, loading up taxes on businesses, borrowing lots of money, spending lots of money, stoking inflation, interest rates higher and for longer as a consequence. And all of that is adding up of course to a period of great uncertainty as we approach the budget and what appears to be inevitably further tax rises to come.
