00:00The budget next week, is this a make-or-break moment for you?

00:03It's a very important moment because it comes against a backdrop where since probably the 2008 crash people haven't felt better off.

00:13They then had to go through terrible austerity which destroyed their public services and the coalition government.

00:18Then we had a botched Brexit deal which did damage to our economy.

00:22Then we went into Covid and we got the conflict in Ukraine ongoing.

00:26So it's very important with the budget that we take this next opportunity to take our country forward by making the right choices.

00:34I am optimistic about the future of this country.

00:37We have brilliance in many, many sectors and our job is to weld that together with decisions that we make to take our country forward.
