to create this was the first of all there is rising fuel prices, families face really significant increase in theirfuel families face really significant increase in their fuel costs over the next year. second, there is the governments tax credit cut so families are facing a decade of tax credit cards. there was an uplift of £20 given in the context of those cuts to help families survive through the pandemic. the government is now proposing to take that away. that is going to hit low income, low—paid parents to a june of £2000 a year. lastly food prices are forecast to go up as well and we've got the foundation estimating that a typical low income family is going to be losing £1750 a year. that's almost £2000 a year worse off by next april. these are huge amounts and it's going to be a massive struggle for parents who are already struggling to keep their kids warm and fed. i really think we all need to take a step back and look at what's causing this. first of all it's the governments cuts to support the low income families but also another big problem we got in this country are huge price of housing costs. with that the highest rents in europe. they are a massive chunk of household bills and that's one of the reasons why when food prices go up the reasons why when food prices go up or energy prices go up that puts so much pressure on household budgets. so much pressure on household buduets. , , �* , so much pressure on household buduets. , ,�* , ., so much pressure on household budets. , ,�* , . , budgets. this isn't 'ust a doorstep issue. budgets. this

it's quite astonishing to l think that the winter of 2020 might look back on with nostalgia at one point compared to what's coming up. let's get the guardian newspaper which continues to look at the energy crisis with a gas firms may face windfall tax as energy hits more households. you've illustrated those potential costume families, seven two £1750 the foundation estimates. now this idea gas firms may face a windfall tax. it’s may face a windfall tax. it's interesting _ may face a windfall tax. it's interesting to _ may face a windfall tax. it's interesting to see - may face a windfall tax. it�*s interesting to see this proposal on the table. i think this is a week where some of the smaller energy companies are going bust but we know that historically energy companies particularly the big six have made huge profits in the uk and they tend to benefit when prices go up. but actually when these wholesale because of energy goes down they don't reduce prices. so they are able to bank those extra profits. i think a windfall tax on energy companies is a really interesting proposal and it's worth looking at. but that alone is not going to get us out of this cost—of—living crisis. i think in order to do that we need to, it comes back to what were saying before, energy cost is one part of the solution but there has to be a massive political focus on housing cost. it isjust unacceptable that people face the highest rates in europe in this country and makes living in this country and makes living in this country unsustainable if you're working in a minimum—wagejob and you've got kids. this got to be a big focus on. we got to ask questions about why low—paid parents, some of them have lost thousands of pounds a year over the last decade as a result of cuts from the governments tax credits to support childcare. these are not decisions, these decisions are political choices. it happens at the same time as the government has delivered quite expensive income tax cuts that are predominantly gone to more affluent households. there's been a redistribution from poor families with children to more affluent households. i think energy prices are a big part of it but we've got to look at housing and we've got to look at housing and we've got to look at financial support for low—paid parents to. let's look at those gas firms. in the commons saying he's ocular

some way for a politician 11 and a half thousand words i say publish with the fabian society, i have to confess it's only been released this evening so i haven't had time to sit down... what a shock, have you not read a? my homework. the newspapers are reporting that the labour party itself our positioning it. we can sometimes end up talking and quite proud doing a broad brush terms, the left—centre, the right and politics. it doesn't really mean a lot to people. what i will be interested to see and what is state labour leader saying in terms of what might be a pitch to people who didn't vote labour in 2019. i was reading some interesting analysis today about labour needs to win over if they're going to win the next general elections. and labour can't get away from the fact that they need to win over some people who switched to conservatives in 2019. i think it's going to be interesting, i haven't done it yet but i think it will be interesting to evaluate this very long

there boris likens maccallum to a jilted lover. —— micron. it is indicative of that rather touchy relationship between britain and the united states and france on the others hand. that's right and i think the daily mail captures, the britishjohnson diplomacy here. i think it's very stark contrast between boris johnson's reaction the fact that france felt quite put out by this announcement between this and joe about his reaction. i announcement between this and joe about his reaction.— about his reaction. i think they can come onto — about his reaction. i think they can come onto joe _ about

about his reaction. i think they can. come onto joe barton's reaction in a come ontojoe barton's reaction in a moment but borisjohnson's reaction was characterised by his typical bombast using to tell the french to give him a break. which i think is probably a questionable approach to calming the waters after france has made it clear that they did feel very left out of this deal and quite put out not to have advanced notice. and i do think that set in the wider context this is troubling in the sense that france is such an important ally for the uk, we may have left the eu but they are one of our closest neighbours, we have to work very closely in terms of the channel crossings and a regular migration and asylum—seekers coming to the uk. we also have significant strategic interest in the rest of europe. and it does seem that boris johnson is saying post—brexit britain we can forget about your now it's all about the us, we see the dangers of that in the last couple days which is hopes of getting —— on the us trade deal. this doesn't seem to me to be a very wise approach to when france is such a strategically important ally to us. the interesting _ important ally to us. the interesting thing - important ally to us. the interesting thing is - important ally to us. the interesting thing is that france took great pains to say in recent days, this really wasn't much to do with the uk, the uk it wasjust a vessel clinging onto america and was just a passenger therefore it was no need to even withdraw the french ambassador to the uk. yes it's very interesting that they
