six means biological six. now, labour like to talk the country down. they want to pretend that everything would be great if they have never left office and pretend that somehow we have not achieved anything, but that is just simply not right. remember the note that said there is no money left, when labour left office in 2010, unemployment was higher than when they came into government. public and private debt was accumulating, the banking system is broken, the deficit was ballooning, and even labour accepted that after years of spending, significant cuts in expenditure were required. they went into the 2010 election admitting they would have to make cuts. labour left britain on the brink of bankruptcy. and worse, the money that labour had put into public service had not been accompanied by sufficient reform. labour s welfare system was more about disguising how many people are out of work than actually getting people back into employment, and for all the money that labour had
White house. We are in detroit where the White Working Class voters still have their back. He spoke to their need for change. When he spoke they said, i will remember him. He said he would fix the problem and i demand to do it raced on my experience. He won over the hearts and minds of the many people. I remember one very Senior Minister telling me that if it was the last day of an Election Campaign, and he had a choice between canvassing a hall of residence or an old peoples home, you do the old peoples home any day because theyre the ones who are going to vote.

Were at westminster in our Budget Studio on the day chancellor Philip Hammond delivered his first budget. As the government prepares to start the process of leaving the eu within weeks the chancellor said the budget prepared britain for a brighter future.

Or at least, his last to be presented in march. From now on, the annual budget will take place in the autumn. The chancellor called it a fair package of measures. There was £2 billion for social care, relief for those hit by c
