00:00I think this is incredibly worrying and this is going to make life more expensive for a lot of
00:05people around the country and I don't think that the government has a plan to bring it down and
00:10it's very noticeable that Andy Haldane, former very senior person at the Bank of England,
00:17said that the markets seem to have decided that the Prime Minister is more interested in TikTok
00:23than the economy and that this is a tax and spend government and I'm afraid all of these things,
00:30sort of high inflation, high borrowing costs, very high spending and very high borrowing,
00:35is a really toxic mix that is going to be bad for the economy and we need them to get
00:41a grip
00:41and bring down public spending as we've proposed, the Conservatives have proposed,
00:45but I don't think they're going to do that.
