The Prime Minister has warned that the budget this october will be painful, in his first major speech from no 10 since becoming Prime Minister. Speaking in the rose garden, he said his government had inherited a black hole in the public finances, of £22 billion. Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heaviest burden, he cautioned, but he also said there would be big asks of everyone. The conservatives responded by saying the speech was an indication that labour had been planning tax rises all along. Vicki young has our top story. Blue skies and sunshine, but the Prime Minister didnt come here to paint a rosy picture. He has accused the conservatives of wrecking the economy, leaving him to put it right. There is a budget coming in october. And it is going to be painful. We have no other choice, given the situation that we are in. Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden. I will have to turn to the country, and make big asks of you as well. Its already been announced that millions of pensioners will no longer get the winter fuel payment, something that wasnt mentioned during the election campaign. The chancellor has also admitted that some taxes will go up. Many want to know what the impact of the budget will be, so if you are being honest, can you tell them now what kind of tax rises you are considering . I didnt want to have to deal with the Winter Fuel Allowance for pensioners, but we have to fix the nhs, we have to fix our homes, our schools, and pensioners rely on them in the same way as everybody else does, so i am not going to pre empt the budget, but i am absolutely not going to accept that the inheritance we have isnt anything other than dire. Keir starmer� s only be in the job for a few weeks, but he is already managing expectations about how much he can achieve in five years. Previous Prime Ministers have been accused of overpromising and underdelivering he seems to be trying to do the opposite. Invited to Downing Street today were campaigners and Business Owners the Prime Minister met during the election. What did they make of his message . I think he is an ethical man, he will do the right things for the right reasons, and some of them will be unpopular. We have had a shambles for years, and i voted for that shambles, and im horrified. We are concerned about any tax surprises. We will have to wait and see. Conservatives deny they left the economy in a mess, and say labour want an excuse to put up taxes. They have been chasing all over, trying to tell people there is a black hole, but they found billions and billions of pounds for payments to trade unions for going on strike, and paying those pay demands, and of course labour has no plan for tackling welfare, which was part of the conservative manifesto commitment. And the Liberal Democrats want more details from the government about health plans. The Liberal Democrats fought the last election on real bold Ambitious Programme to reform our nhs and care, properly funded. And liberal democrat mps will be championening that and pushing the new government notjust to look backwards, but to have a plan so we can afford to turn round our nhs. Parliament returns next week, and you can bet Ness Arguments will be rehearsed many times in the run up to the budget.

Keir starmer is trying to shape those political and economic arguments notjust trying to shape those political and economic arguments not just for the next few months but the next few years and let us face it, he is not particularly subtle. It was a lovely summers day to be invited to the garden and sit there, but it also of course allowed keir starmer to remind people about the parties that took place there during lockdown and he called it a symbol of the rot hat the heart of the last government. He is trying to frame the legacy and apportion blame in advance if you like for what is called the apportion blame in advance if you like for what is called the difficult decisions that are coming, difficult decisions that are coming, he is hoping people will accept he is hoping people will accept those tax rises and probably those tax rises and probably spending cuts that he is very likely spending cuts that he is very likely to have to announce in october, the to have to announce in october, the tories of course say this is a tories of course say this is a choice that they are making, so, choice that they are making, so, keir starmer said we will have to keir starmer said we will have to accept short term pain for long term accept short term pain for long term good.

The public finances are worse the public finances are worse than the government thought than the government thought but the economy is doing better but the economy is doing better than expected, so how do than expected, so how do those things play out . Those things play out . The government insists they have the government insists they have found an unexpected £22 billion hole found an unexpected £22 billion hole in this years public finances in this years public finances which included Cost Overruns on departmental spending. But £9 billion of that is eseentially self inflicted, the government chose to accept recommended pay rises for millions of Public Sector workers, which labour argue will help boost growth by ending strikes which have paralysed sections of the economy. And in fact the economy is growing faster than expected. The obr expected 0. 8 for the whole of this year in fact it grew 1. 3 in the first six months, the fastest growth in the g7, which should mean more tax revenue. But latest figures show the government borrowed £5 billion more than the obr expected in the last three month period, futher evidence say labour, that the obr didnt knowjust how much the government had overspent. Net result, if the government chooses to stick to its self imposed plan to have debt falling as a percentage of gdp by the end of this parliament, tax rises are inevitable. A rise in the rate of income tax, vat and National Insurance have already been ruled out as they dont want to raise taxes on work. But the Prime Minister said those with the broadest shoulders should bear the most, which means likely candidates for hikes include those generally paid by the better off, such those on capital gains, inheritances and private pensions, not taxes on work directly, but taxes that some working people and their employers do pay. We will find out where the promised pain will be felt in the budget on october 30th. Simon, thank you. Scottish government ministers have been told Budget Problems they face this year are largely of their own making. The holyrood budgetary regulator, the scottish fiscal commission, says the government under estimated Public Sector pay increases. Its also warned theres more uncertainty over budgets this year, because of the change of government at westminster.
