Soon. Very nice to have your company this morning. The top story on this Tuesday Morning is were one day out from the chancellor handing down his spnng chancellor handing down his Spring Budget, where rejuvenating the economy and addressing the cost of living will be front and centre. Politically, though, there is pressure to try and turn the tide in the polls as the conservative supporters fallen to its lowest level on record, according to a new humiliate ing ipsos poll. And to top it off overnight, the government has suffered a string of defeats in the house of to its immigration of lords to its immigration policy , the rwanda bill. Policy, the rwanda bill. So ahead of the budget tomorrow, to the tomorrow, weve taken to the streets in east streets of cottingham in east yorkshire , as well as glasgow in yorkshire, as well as glasgow in scotland, see what want scotland, to see what you want to see the chancellor. To see from the chancellor. Like to see him listen to id like to see him listen to the people as well for a change. They seemed to give all these promises and never keep them. Itd be nice for the petrol to go down and stop putting money on council tax and stuff like that. People cant afford it. People cant afford it. Businesses are struggling at the moment. The markets struggling, so i think they just need a little bit of a more stable background in the economy. No increase on petrol is a big one because i live in rural lincolnshire and i use my car a lot, they can start by spending it on helping homelessness reduce the taxes and try to support people to open new businesses. A more generous Housing Market would be great. That would be lovely. Like health care as well. Raise your tax allowance because now, uh , some pensioners because now, uh, some pensioners are going to find themselves in are going to find themselves in a tax bracket. A tax bracket. Well, who knows what well get. But here to talk to well, who knows what well get. But here to talk to us well, who knows what well get. But here to talk to us now. Get. But here to talk to us now. Former chief of staff to Nadhim Zahawi. We say good morning to zahawi. We say good morning to james price. James. Well of leaks or anything to go by. Were all a bit underwhelmed with and not expecting too much from jeremy hunt. What do you think . Think . Yeah, i think thats right. I think that what is probably says is election isnt going to is the election isnt going to be some of us who be in may. Maybe some of us who maybe just want to put ourselves out misery, well be out of our misery, well be disappointed there. Think it disappointed there. I think it means longer. I think means it will go longer. I think it that conservatives it means that the conservatives will be keeping their powder dry to a tortured metaphor, this to use a tortured metaphor, this early, suspect there may to use a tortured metaphor, this earsome suspect there may to use a tortured metaphor, this earsome kindjspect there may to use a tortured metaphor, this earsome kind of ect there may to use a tortured metaphor, this earsome kind of ect tlast may to use a tortured metaphor, this earsome kind of ect tlast budget be some kind of one last budget just before the election in which government really just before the election in whicrlook,]overnment really just before the election in whicrlook, here nment really just before the election in whicrlook, here arent really just before the election in whicrlook, here are alleally just before the election in whicrlook, here are all they says, look, here are all the things well definitely do if you another turn. You give us another turn. If i had a pound for every you give us another turn. Ifi had a pound for every you give us another turn. Ifi heard| pound for every you give us another turn. Ifi heard that nd for every you give us another turn. Ifi heard that oneor every you give us another turn. Ifi heard that one more ry time i heard that one more fiscal event debt, wouldnt we just the next election . Fiscal event debt, wouldnt we just they the next election . Fiscal event debt, wouldnt we just they keep1ext election . Fiscal event debt, wouldnt we just they keep delaying,on . Fiscal event debt, wouldnt we just they keep delaying, dont look, they keep delaying, dont they . Election they . Announcing this election because things because they keep hoping things are get better and are going to get better and things just arent where they want them to be. If they take that they it for the that risk, they delay it for the summer. Risk more of these summer. They risk more of these illegal across the illegal crossings across the channel illegal crossings across the channel, upsets channel, which really upsets people. Saw that the in channel, which really upsets peo autumn saw that the in channel, which really upsets peo autumn statement|e in channel, which really upsets peo autumn statement to income the autumn statement to income tax really the dial tax didnt really move the dial in polls. The same could in the polls. The same could happen that we see happen for many cuts that we see being announced tomorrow. Every day a for this administration. Ian. I think thats to ian. I think thats true to an but again, the an extent, but again, the gambles can also go right, cant they . So think that the they . So i think that the polls say you referenced a not say and you referenced a not terribly good for the terribly good poll for the conservatives think that they terribly good poll for the conse change think that they terribly good poll for the conse change very nk that they terribly good poll for the conse change very mucht they terribly good poll for the conse change very much at1ey terribly good poll for the conse change very much at all wont change very much at all until and an election is until and unless an election is actually called. Think actually called. I think when that happens, people will switch back you know, this back on again. You know, this has been a long parliament. I think way when think all the way back when it was about brexit done, was about getting brexit done, and went through covid and then we went through covid and then we went through covid and been through these and weve been through all these other things since ukraine. Goodnessin these past couple other things since ukraine. Goyears. ;in these past couple of years. Right. So if you were chancellor, what would you be doing . Would like to doing . What would you like to see in there . To just zip all of this up . So m this up . So id like to hear so i think id like to hear a lot of what has just been said there by the people out on the streets. You know, someone there by the people out on the streets. Talkingow, someone there by the people out on the streets. Talking aboutmeone there by the people out on the streets. Talking about council theyre talking about council tax. Well, hate tax tax. Well, you hate council tax so you pay it like so much because you pay it like you so much because you pay it like you pay so much because you pay it like you pay other bills. It doesnt come out of your pay packet the way that lots of other taxes do. And people say, oh, and so when people say, oh, i want being spent on want money being spent on on services, not just on tax cuts, they dont into account they dont take into account the what is what that will actually mean is more money in their pockets. So what that will actually mean is nthinkfoney in their pockets. So what that will actually mean is nthink that in their pockets. So what that will actually mean is nthink that that heir pockets. So what that will actually mean is nthink that that tax pockets. So what that will actually mean is nthink that that tax cuts what that will actually mean is nthink that that tax cuts are so i think that that tax cuts are as can say how as long as you can say how theyre going for, theyre going to be paid for, are something should are something we should definitely be looking at, because helps with the cost because that helps with the cost of a massive burden of living. Its a massive burden on for on people, especially for the poorest in this country. On people, especially for the poorepay in this country. On people, especially for the poorepay highest; country. On people, especially for the poorepay highest; c their. They pay the highest in their their taxes. And their incomes, in taxes. And i think the other thing you could then is the treasury then do is to get the treasury boffins look instead of boffins to look at, instead of saying cuts going boffins to look at, instead of sacost cuts going boffins to look at, instead of sacost money, cuts going boffins to look at, instead of sacost money, you; going boffins to look at, instead of sacost money, you look going boffins to look at, instead of sacost money, you look andg boffins to look at, instead of sacost money, you look and see to cost money, you look and see what Economic Activity what kind of Economic Activity they businesses they generate. If businesses and families they generate. If businesses and fam with money their left with more money in their pockets, the pockets, that really helps the economy them as economy as it helps them go as well. To more of that. Although all the boffins tell us we see these us that where we see these possible cuts tax, just possible cuts in tax, were just going to rises in other going to see rises in other places. Weve seen places. And now weve seen a think respected institute places. And now weve seen a thirfiscal respected institute places. And now weve seen a thirfiscal respectsayingitute places. And now weve seen a thirfiscal respectsaying that places. And now weve seen a ththey al respectsaying that places. And now weve seen a ththey adopt spectsaying that places. And now weve seen a ththey adopt thistsaying that places. And now weve seen a ththey adopt thistsaying policy places. And now weve seen a ththey athet thistsaying policy places. And now weve seen a ththey athe non dom ng policy places. And now weve seen a ththey athe non dom status cy places. And now weve seen a ththey athe non dom status in to scrap the non dom status in this country, see mass this country, youll see a mass exodus, which ive been saying to of the to labour for months of the super this country. To labour for months of the su;theyre this country. To labour for months of the su;theyre even this country. To labour for months of the su;theyre even this itomtry. So theyre not even able to exploit opportunity. So theyre not even able to exploit not opportunity. So theyre not even able to exploit not opporlevers left to pull. No. Well, on that specifically, i completely agree. Its really frustrating, right . Thing to right . Its an easy thing to bash people. And some bash super rich people. And some of hide their money of them that hide their money are terrible. Of them that hide their money are most terrible. Of them that hide their money are most those terrible. Of them that hide their money are most thoseterrible. Will but most of those people will spend again the economy spend money again in the economy that helps economy that helps the economy grow. They in pay tax on what they earn in this country. W this country. And then the exactly right. And then the money theyve got, they invest really what really well. And thats what pays our schools pays for our schools and our hospitals. Thatcher hospitals. As Margaret Thatcher said, pennies dont just fall from be from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth. But i think really important think its really important that instead of just trying to play this of accountancy jiggery this kind of accountancy Jiggery Pokery you the people in pokery, you get the people in the go. If we cut the treasury to go. If we cut tax by this much, what that tax by this much, what does that money go do . It can either money go and do . It can either be the government or be spent by the government or it can families and by can be spent by families and by businesses individuals. Businesses and by individuals. And that people tend to and i think that people tend to spend better than spend their money better than the government can. Youve only got at waste got to look at all the waste inside to that. Inside government to see that. Saw, i mean, yeah, but we saw, i mean, a lot speculation yesterday lot of speculation yesterday about money and about people spending money and whos going to be penalised as a result of that. So Business Class tickets on aeroplanes , um, for instance, aeroplanes, um, for instance, second home owners. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the idea is that, yeah. So the idea is that, you know, anybody with anything extra in their pockets, theyre going to be hit. Yeah. And i think thats concerning as well. But thats just a little foretaste of what i to come and i suspect will be to come if and when labour actually get in. Right. Idea the right. The idea of the conservatives to conservatives doing this is to take only i take one of labours only two, i think, policies think, remaining policies theyve announced to think, remaining policies theythat announced to think, remaining policies theythat away announced to think, remaining policies theythat away from ounced to think, remaining policies theythat away from them. I to think, remaining policies theythat away from them. So take that away from them. So politically it work. But politically it might work. But again, easy thing to again, and its an easy thing to bash take business bash people who take Business Class and love to class flights. And id love to be afford a business be able to afford a Business Class flight one day. Ive never been one, but the people been on one, but the people that do bring in do that are people that bring in huge of money. Theyre huge amounts of money. Theyre all. They bring huge amounts of money. Theyre all business. They bring huge amounts of money. Theyre all business here. hey bring huge amounts of money. Theyre all business here. hey briwe their business here. And if we start making start penalising them and making the for them to the uk a worse place for them to live and set businesses live and to set their businesses and families , theyll go and their families, theyll go somewhere macron somewhere else. Emmanuel macron will and gladhand them will go along and gladhand them or someone italy or the or someone in italy will, or the americans will. Like we did when or just like we did when the french evicted them. Right . I just i just exactly right. I just i just want to say the of a life want to say the idea of a life of ryanair or easyjet just bnngs of ryanair or easyjet just brings me out in a rush. I paid for Business Class. I deliberately pay for Business Class. I want Business Class, class. I want Business Class, but i look at i think its a i mean, get somewhere like belfast is £250 for a single ticket. So thats £500 return to do a one hour flight within the uk. And thats the same if youre going to glasgow, for instance. And, to glasgow, for instance. And, and know what they end and i dont know what they end up doing for people who , uh, up doing for people who, uh, work and commute like that or people who want to visit scotland or ireland or businesses who are funding the businesses who are funding the Business Class flights for people who are working. Mean , you can get i mean, i mean, you can get to america cheaper than than you can glasgow. Um, all of can get to glasgow. Um, all of this into this poll rating this feeds into this poll rating that weve seen terrible news for number 10. I mean, they used to seeing terrible polls, frankly. But then in the lords frankly. But then in the lords last night , five amendments by last night, five amendments by the lords to this flagship rwanda bill, like only to be rejected. I would suggest back in the commons. But again, a big problem for the government because definitely got the because you definitely got the sense that members of this conservative party, particularly on the right, held their nose and agreed to vote for that because was actually because this was actually as far as were prepared to go, any as they were prepared to go, any watering down as they perceive it from the lords will not wash. Where leave the where does this leave the flights rwanda . Flights to rwanda . Yeah, i think this is this is the big challenge, right . When the big challenge, right . When the laid his the Prime Minister laid out his five wont try and five priorities, i wont try and list them all this early in the morning, was morning, but one of them was stop thats probably stop the boats. Thats probably the people can the one that most people can say. And people will say. And that people will be really the fact really frustrated at the fact that fifth biggest that what the fifth biggest economy were economy in the world were a Major Nuclear powered, uh, military rest of it, military and all the rest of it, and we stop a couple of and we cant stop a couple of dinghies across and it dinghies coming across and it gets inside lords , gets locked up inside the lords, it with lawyers it gets locked up with lawyers and these things. And all these sorts of things. People thought, voted people thought, well, we voted leave, thought at leave, didnt we . I thought at least free of some of least wed be free of some of this stuff. I need hear this stuff. I need to hear the European Convention on human rights was rights come along, which was never designed prevent never designed to prevent a country uk from country like the uk from stopping illegally coming stopping people illegally coming into country. Into the country. Care what other why do we care what other countries think . Why dont we just people out . Just buckle these people out .
