00:00Kemi and I have set out our plan for how we would fund the difficult decisions to fund defence.
00:07But John Healy prefers to continue out-of-control welfare spending.
00:13Even his own economic advisers are telling everyone who will listen what a disaster this government already is.
00:20Andy Haldane said this week this is a traditional tax-and-spend socialist government with better TikTok videos.
00:27And Jim O'Neill, the very man lined up to be Burnham's chief economic adviser, has warned the very last
00:35thing that should be going on is more taxes on business.
00:39He's right. So let me be clear. Businesses are already suffering enough.
00:47The Chancellor must end the uncertainty today and rule out any new taxes.
00:52He must rule out increasing taxes on small businesses and the self-employed.
00:59And he must rule out an exit tax, the mere rumours of which are already causing Britain's wealth creators to
01:06flee the country.
01:08But like his predecessor, I fear the Chancellor isn't listening.
01:12He's Rachel Reeves without the rhetoric.
01:15And unlike even the smallest business, he's never had to balance the books in his life.
