now on bbc news...newscast hello. hello, laura. and hello, henry. hi, henry. hi. so last night, i was at my friend tom's birthday party, and he's a very good amateur poet, and he did a lovely poem saying thank you to everyone who'd come to the party. happy birthday, tom. but he's also a big newscast fan and an even biggerfan of sunday with laura kuenssberg. even happier birthday. so i thought, why not combine all those things together and do a poem about this week's sunday with laura kuenssberg? oh, my god. here we go. are you ready? howard's double barrelled chef on sunday with laura kay. politicians exaggerations going to get slayed. but first, this breaking news, a picture of recovering kate. but with all the twitter gossip, did it come too late? rachel reeves bets all on economic growth. vicky atkins asked why nhs productivity sloweth, but waits this weekend episode has no pad, fear not newscasters you can always call up add. i think that's extremely good, tom. and we all say one and all newscasters, happy birthday, tom. i was going to try and think of something that rhymed, but i can't. so happy birthday. i think what we need is tom for our next episode to rate your poem. 0k. i'm just wondering, henry, you'll know this. when do they pick the next poet laureate? does the person have to die? i think the are does the person have to die? i think they are on — does the person have to die? i think they are on ten _ does the person have to die? i think they are on ten year _ does the person have to die? i think they are on ten year terms. - and it's been simon armitage for a few years. 0r until they fall out with someone or say the wrong thing. so we have term limits potentially for our poet laureate, but not our prime minister. i mean, i don't actually i think we don't know. we'll try and find out by the end of today's sunday newscast. newscast from the bbc. hello. it's laura in the studio. and it's adam in the studio. and it's henry at home. and henry, what have you just found out? i have just googled what i confidently asserted earlier. the last two — confidently asserted earlier. the last two poet laureates did ten years — last two poet

rather than before? we wanted tot to net budget rather than before? we wanted to try to get her— budget rather than before? we wanted to try to get her to _ budget rather than before? we wanted to try to get her to explain _ budget rather than before? we wanted to try to get her to explain as - budget rather than before? we wanted to try to get her to explain as much - to try to get her to explain as much as she is willing to, you may be a little bit more, to the audience about what she would do if she was lucky enough to win the election with the labour party a move into number 11, with the labour party a move into number", or with the labour party a move into numberii, orthat with the labour party a move into number 11, or that she was coy about whether she would move into number 11. labour is in this tricky position, for rachel reeves's own economic and political beliefs, largely following the tories spending rules is the right thing to do. she absolutely believes that for economic and political reasons because butchers don't look at labour and think they do not spend enough, they think they are probably going to spend more. however, she has a problem politically. on the left a lot of people on the labour party say we should stem because public services are on their knees, there is a different problem politically because some voters say i look at both of you and you are the same. we were trying to get her to open up a bit more about some of the things she wants to do, how close she is to the conservatives and in the context of the budget this week, where the missing tomb impounds was going to come from? the impounds was going to come from? tue: government made impounds was going to come from? tt2 government made its announcement on wednesday, it is now sunday. i was doing the work properly and notjust blocking numbers out of the air but i was methodically going through all the government documents to identify the government documents to identify the funding streams or my sums add up. if there is one thing you and your viewers know about me, everything in our manifesto will be fully costed and funded, including this pledge and i will do the work

pounds because the non—dom tax abolition, which labour said they would do, butjeremy hunt has got ahead of them and done, was specifically hypothesised for particular policies. labour said that would fund a host of policies to deal with the nhs and breakfast clubs in primary schools. that costs roughly a couple of billion pounds on a labour�*s estimates and act as a couple of billion pounds they are going to have to raise elsewhere because they said very quickly after the budget, they are still committed to the spending plans. i think rachel reeves would have been politically negligent if she hadn't given at least a little bit of thought to what alternative ways they might raise the money if the government ended up going back on its previous policies and abolishing non—dom tax. what i felt really interesting in her interview was she was almost trying to make a virtue of the fact she will not tell us. she is saying you know me, i am methodical, i'm going to go through this slowly, she is trying to say the fact labour hasn't quickly said how they are going to fund it instead as a sign of her fiscal prudence and responsibility. that is an interesting comms manoeuvre that she is trying to pull off. i suspect were actually lies beneath it as they worry if they come out now and say this is how we're going to fund it instead, and every general election doesn't take place until after the next fiscal event, after the october statement, the there might be the conservatives will make that revenue raiser as well. we might be the conservatives will make that revenue raiser as well.— that revenue raiser as well. we are in this weird _ that revenue raiser as well. we are in this weird limbo _ that revenue raiser as well. we are in this weird limbo for _ that revenue raiser as well. we are in this weird limbo for both - in this weird limbo for both parties, whereas they don't want to put too much out into the public domain, labour because they are worried about the tories nicking it and they don't want there to be mental levels of scrutiny that there would be in an election campaign. they don't want that right now. for the tories, it is like dangling this, we are getting rid of national insurance in the course of the parliament, and they are doubling down an interview with the sunday times today. but in political terms, we are still miles of from getting into the manifestos, the parties do not want to give us the whole story. we are in this weird limbo period which is one of the reasons why will we try to press rachel reeves today, i think quite rightly, would she admit if they win the election there will not be lots of extra money for public services, but some bits of government would see real terms cuts. i tried very hard to get her to confirm that today. she did tacitly say yes in code, let's have a listen. fist tacitly say yes in code, let's have a listen. �* ., a listen. at the moment the government _ a listen. at the moment the government had _ a

opposition, but i do know that public services need more money, thatis public services need more money, that is why we will make that initial injection. remember the office for budget responsibility

slower with then i would like. i am it might be slower with then i would like. iam paraphrasing. she sort it might be slower with then i would like. i am paraphrasing. she sort of tacitly said yes, in some bits of government it might be eye watering weak tight. what she also is saying is true, she doesn't know and we don't know what the numbers will look like by the time of the general election. let's hope the economy is looking perkier than it is now. but i suppose what we were trying to drive at is what her instinct is, as and when growth turns up. what is her instinct, to give everyone a bit more back to keep more of their own cash, or is it to put money as soon as they can enter public services. there is a little bit they have earmarked, and it is a huge amount of money, 1.7 billion, but in the context of the government budget, it is a rounding error, the treasury would see, we were trying to get your instincts and she did tacitly say today yes, the first year if we win might be absolutely horrific. but to sweeten the pill there will be a but to sweeten the pill there will he a cash — but to sweeten the pill there will be a cash injection. to but to sweeten the pill there

certainly, a little bit over optimistic in what she said there was the all br do not factor in this stage labour's plans to grow the economy is that things might be more generous than they look at the moment. even on labour because my own terms, the plants to grow the economy, which until reform of various public services and reform of the planning system, that is not going to bear fruit, of the planning system, that is not going to bearfruit, even if you are extremely optimistic about it, for several years. extremely optimistic about it, for severalyears. i extremely optimistic about it, for several years. i do not think that affects the years, for the public spending and the look labour had available. forthat spending and the look labour had available. for that reason, spending and the look labour had available. forthat reason, one thing that increasingly crops up when i speak to labour people about the plausible scenario by which they are in government by the end of the year, there are going to be really unpopular, that is what labour people there, very early on because a lot of people have voted for them thinking things will very quickly feel different and actually because of a combination of the circumstances which they will inherit, but labour because my own choices about how to respond to these circumstances, they think for a while, perhaps years, after getting into government, things will feel pretty similar to how they feel at the moment, especially or including in this crucial public services. that is so interesting because my ears picked up when she talked

not all about promising spending money, there is not much in the tin when you battle it around. politics is not all about promising spending money, there's a lot of focus across the political spectrum about how you spend money better. nobody listening to this will think money is the only answer, and yet it is a big part of political promises and this is not going to be a cheque book election. we

all children happy. this is not going to be that kind of election where people are a competition for checks, which were people would be electronic bank transfers will not compare to each other. the other thing i was thinking about, which older newscasters will remember, as i do, is gordon brown's miserly decision to give 75p on the pension, just after they had taken office and how that, even for a government that had a massive majority, felt they had a surge in enthusiasm, that went down like a cup of sick. and when you are talking about that, henry, that made me think of that moment. they are prepared for that. they know there is a anti—politics mood at the moment, how do you make anyone believe that a politician might have any answers? i programme inbox tonight had a lot of positive

focus i on rachel reeves as a person, she has been in politics for longer than keir starmer, and in many ways is a much more political person. she was involved in the labour party university, an mp since 2010. she really had a proper long wilderness period. it was alluded to by michael howard on your panel, who said unlike keir starmer she refused to serve underjeremy corbyn and that is true. she had been a fairly prominent member of ed miliband's shadow cabinet but when they lost in 2015, she retreated to the backbenches, was chair of the business select committee, did some work on outsourcing, back of the book stuff. stuff on page 23, you might see rachel reeves quote, as she hadn't really worked with keir starmer. i have asked people before, when did keir starmer decide he wanted her to be a shadow chancellor because they hadn't worked together, no one really seems to know. but at some point he decided, she wasn't his initial shadow chancellor though i think you might have wanted her to be. yet simply decided she was the person he wanted alongside her but keir starmer doesn't have a long lineage of economic thought anyway some readers are political parties do sociability in setting the temple and the parameters for this potential labour government. that makes her such a central and important figure. at makes her such a central and important figure.— makes

understood this message, we all get it, lots of us want more money for projects we would like to say we do if we win the elections, she has won that argument. when she got the job, it wasjust after labour argument. when she got the job, it was just after labour had been absolutely dumped in the hartley hot little by—election —— hot even thought about quitting and at that point. rachel reeves was brought in to bolster his credibility. it was her dream job, and for userfelt credibility. it was her dream job, and for user felt inevitable she was going to be the shadow chancellor if labour is ever in power again, she would be the likely person knew the front of the key for that child. but it is interesting, thinking about how politics because she is that very rare beast in westminster. she really doesn't seem to, yet, have any enemies. it is quite self—deprecating, she has a good sense of humour. she is well liked and well—respected. but some people were also very interested in how good small pea politics is, she understands what colleagues care about, she is good at dropping the odd text here and there are making people feel they have been understood. herfriends say people feel they have been understood. her friends say that it's because she is a decent person, some of the conversations i had there was a little bit of scepticism. not saying that was artificial, but actually that is part of being a very canny politician, is making sure that nobody has any doubt about what you think, and you make people feel they have been listened to and understood, and if you are decent to them, they don't mind if you tough. you can get away with being hard and well—respected if you are also extremely courteous, thoughtful and the rest, making enemies. let extremely courteous,

unload some of the political pain onto them. it is one thing saying to your colleagues in opposition, we need to be cautious and hold the purse strings tight for political reasons as well as economic reasons, but when you get into government, some of those cabinet ministers, as they would then be, which chafe a little bit more. i could see a world in which she tries to, if she does indeed move into number 11, move across to number ten afterwards. when her friends said they believe she did have that tyre ambition, but not with her right now. i don't know, is a view. she is clearly someone who many people in labour circles, and in conservative circles, and in conservative circles, believe it is likely to be one of the most significant political figures of one of the most significant politicalfigures of her one of the most significant political figures of her generation, which is why we spoke to her at great length this morning ivy wrote a big piece about her yesterday because

hope and she got some money out of the chancellor in the budget is if you spent three or e4 chancellor in the budget is if you spent three or £4 billion on productivity, basically getting more bang for your buck by having better it and technology, we will start to see improvements in the health service quite quickly. what is hard for her so many newscasters know bits of the nhs are crumbling, there is province with buildings, fax machines are still used, hospital it can be terrible and she now, like ministers are in several government departments, i don't want to say desperately, that seems very unkind, but frantically trying to make some goodin but frantically trying to make some good in what time they have got left before the election, and it is that kind of really? you are going

things that are happening soon and they are a sign things are getting better and the hard gears were not wasted —— hard years were not wasted, stick to the plan, that is a delicate political argument that is like victoria atkins are trying to make. if they can pull it off perhaps they can pull back some public support. the tories pull rating is not bad at the moment, it is historically dire. the risk is that people think the rhetoric and language they use is so absurdly at odds with their experience of public services. that is the thing _ experience of public services. that is the thing that

goodbye everybody. goodbye. _ hello. for many of us, sunday's weather story has been one of cloud and rain and where you've been stuck under those grey and wet conditions, particularly when you've been exposed to the breeze, it has felt decidedly chilly. temperatures, though, will climb through the week ahead, albeit with some further bouts of rain at times. low pressure has been dominating things through the weekend, that low centred just to the south of us, clouds swirling around it. and this stripe of cloud that you can see here that has been producing some outbreaks of quite heavy and persistent rain. now the rain will slowly but surely peter out as we head through the night. certainly the heaviest bursts will ease, but it'll stay quite damp and drizzly with some areas of mist and hill fog and any clear spells that you might see across, say, south wales and the south west of england, they could just fill in with patchy fog as well. so monday morning, quite a murky start. it's an in—between day, really. this low clearing eastwards, other weather systems waiting in the wings out west. but for many of us, not a huge amount going on, aside from a lot of clouds, some mist and murk, a few brighter spells, perhaps most especially for wales and the south west of england. this area of low pressure mayjust bring some rain perilously close to the east coast of england and this frontal system will bring some rain across northern ireland and into western scotland. temperatures six degrees in lerwick, 12 degrees in plymouth through monday night and into tuesday. this little weather system saunters its way in from the west. this first pulse of wet weather bringing rain across wales, parts of the midlands and southern england as we start tuesday, that should tend to pull away southwards, but we'll see more rain getting into northern ireland, perhaps west wales, northwest england and south west scotland as we head towards the end of the afternoon. temperatures though, beginning to creep upwards. the winds start to come from the south or the southwest. so we'll see highs between eight and 13 degrees. a sign of things to come through the middle of the week. these frontal systems just continue to wriggle around but will generally shift northwards. some outbreaks of rain, yes, but a feed of pretty mild air starts to set itself up. those south—westerly winds bringing a mild, even warm feel to proceedings, actually, particularly where you get to see some sunshine and there will be some sunshine as we head through the second half of the week and into the weekend. but some rain at times. those temperatures, though, up to around 16 or 17 degrees. bye for now. live from london, this is bbc news. the us and jordan air—drop more food into gaza, as a us
