foundation. he is always caring about people and one step ahead, as to how he would help. itjust demonstrates, not only his talent for a chat show, but his talent for music. we had a great show on radio two on sundays and the luxury he had, because i didn t have the luxury, we had to go by a preset list of music, michael got to choose his music for sunday morning, and he championed people like jamie collum, because he said that that boy was really talented. he championed other people. when you talk to dickie bird about cricket, the extreme passion for cricket was there. and he was a good yorkshireman on top of that. he was an all rounder and he was interested in people. if i have time, i will tell you one other thing. when i say we use to meet in sohoin thing. when i say we use to meet in soho in london every monday, it was only to watch movies. i was doing a chat show at the same time, and we had to watch the film of the person we were interviewing. this time he said to me, who have y
well, both parents i think were chartered accountants. my mum s a lawyer. 0h, forgive me. it s an interesting question. i mean, school, look, so i was born to a pair of penniless students. both my parents first in their family to go to university. both came from modest backgrounds in yorkshire. i m actually genetically a yorkshireman and you know, they built a life in liverpool which was, you know, prosperous and my dad started a business and built it up. my mum worked very hard to become a lawyer. they are prime examples of the value of kind of good education and hard work and they built a life for me and my sisters, which was a good one. but you re right, i guess. i mean, my parents were fortunate and worked hard to build what they had and we benefited from that. but, you know. was it another thing forgive me interrupting which i certainly picked up when i talked to nadine dorries on this programme, a deep, deep resentment at the assumption that because of which city you came fro
forward to that 50p if i win the bet. every yorkshireman will crave every 50p that he can get. miatta, i wonder, given your analysis and your sense that not enough was done, what one thing do you think he should or could have done that he didn t do? so the single thing i think he could have done and should have done was on universal credit. and for me, if he had for example put in £9 billion in order to uprate universal credit with inflation, that would have made a big difference. i would have liked him to do £15 billion, which essentially would have reversed the cuts that we ve seen since 2010, and for a two person household with two kids, that s about £4,000 in their pocket, which, for families which are literally on the brink at the moment, having to miss meals, not feeding their kids because they can t survive any more, that would have been a huge lifeline. i don t know why he didn t do that.
and he s going to have to do more, i think he knows that, - but it was living to fight another day, i think. i m glad you said he s going to have to do more, because i ve already bet chris 50p that he will be back before that long with some more measures to help. but chris.? yes, miatta, i m looking forward to that 50p if i win the bet. every yorkshireman will crave every 50p that he can get. miatta, i wonder, given your analysis and your sense that not enough was done, what one thing do you think he should or could have done that he didn t do? so the single thing i think he could have done and should have done was on universal credit. and for me, if he had for example put in £9 billion in order to uprate universal credit with inflation, that would have made a big difference. i would have liked him to do £15 billion, which essentially would have reversed the cuts that we ve seen since 2010, and for a two person household with two kids, that s about £4,000 in their pocket, which, for
