And that's the same with me as Chancellor.
Well, what I did last year at the budget was draw a line under the economic and fiscal mismanagement of the previous government.
And that did require difficult decisions on taxes.
So there won't be more of them?
Well, I think all of your viewers can see that the last year has brought its fair share of global challenges.
Yeah.
the global cost of borrowing, the tariffs from the United States, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the disruptions to supply chains, Russia's intensifying aggression.
I'm chancellor in the world as it is, not as the world as I might wish it to be.
And I have to respond to those.
But those fiscal rules that we set out in the election,
to pay for day-to-day spending through tax receipts, to get debt down as a share of GDP.
To get the deficit down this year, those commitments stand.
And I'm also determined to bring down inflation further because I recognize that inflation at 3.8% is still too high.
That is a global challenge as well, but we get that down.
Yes it does and we also made that commitment around corporation tax as well and those commitments stand and they stand for a reason because working people paid a heavy price in the last parliament it was the worst parliament on record for living standards and
It's still the biggest challenge for working people.
So those commitments stand.
But what I want your viewers to know, that my commitments to economic stability, to fiscal responsibility and to those fiscal rules, they absolutely stand because they are the bedrock of stability and only with stability can we grow the economy.
I would like to differentiate ourselves from what's happening in other countries around the world.
Well, yields are higher here.
