1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Let's got it. Inde Brady, a UK correspondent who's with 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: us in the welcome. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,119 Speaker 2: Hey Ryan, good to speak to you again. 4 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: And to you too. What's been the reaction to Rachel Raise, 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, the lovely Labor Chancellor of the EXCHEQA and 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: some pretty fetcher like cats. 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 2: Yes, so she's gone after people on sickness and disability benefits. 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: That's all being reduced, loads of cuts and spending, and 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: she hasn't ruled out the fact that taxes may have 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: to rise. So look, I think it very much depends 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: on which side of the political offence people sit on. 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 2: A lot of people are criticizing her. A lot of 13 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: conservatives are saying that this is awful. She will say 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: in turn that she is dealing with the mess labor 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: inheritage July of last year. I think the fact remains 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: the UK economy is limping along. She has huge conundrums 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 2: that I'm struggling to see where the answer is going 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: to come from. Nine point two million people of working 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: age in this country are not in work. They're not 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: doing anything, they're not paying tax, they're not contributing to 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: the economy. Nine point two million people. Now we have 22 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: ten percent of the working age population who are on 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: sickness and disability benefits. So she has I don't know 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: what has gone wrong in Britain, but she seems to 25 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: be adamant that the decisions she's making today will bear 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: fruit five or six years down the line. Politically, I 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: wonder will she be chancellor in five or six months? 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, to be feared to that, as you say, 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: rock and a hard place, really, isn't it when when 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: you're in here it's something like that? And just so 31 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: recently as well, now Trump's terrorists on cars. What will 32 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: this do to the UK? Could it actually wipe you? Growth? 33 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: Well, growth is basically zero at the moment and has 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: been from months and months on end, and that is 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: the challenge for Reeves. She's saying that she wants to 36 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: stimulate growth and all these cuts and changes that she's 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: making now will bring growth eventually. Step forward. Donald Trump, 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: he has announced that next one, Wednesday's Liberation Day, and 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: the plan is that he will whack twenty five percent 40 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: tariffs on all manufactured cars coming into the United States. 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: So what that means for the UK is very very 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: bad news indeed, because there's about thirty billion dollars worth 43 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 2: of deals from the car manufacturing sector here that go 44 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: to the United States. The EU is the number one 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: market European Union. Britain's second biggest market for all of 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: the vehicles that transports is the US. Twenty twenty four, 47 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: the UK sold one hundred and one thousand units to America. 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: And if he puts that tariffin as of next Wednesday, 49 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 2: that it just will be untenable and that will send 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: Britain in a tail spin back into a recession. 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Goodness, mate, doesn't the news just doesn't get better for 52 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: Rachel Race, does it? The man that's been banned from 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: an entire county for stealing. 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: What Cabri's cream eggs. So, I don't know if you 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: have them in New Zealand, but they're a nice little treat. 56 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: They're the size of an actual egg that you would 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: crack open and make an omelet with kids. Loved them, 58 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: and they're getting more expensive like everything else in our shops. 59 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: This guy, he's twenty six years of age from the 60 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: Peterborough area. His name is Dion de Grout. He walked 61 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: into Tesco supermarket and he left without paying with three 62 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five Cabrey's Cream eggs. Now, one of 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: the shop assistants was observing what this guy was doing, 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: ran after him, and as luck would have it, a 65 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: police patrol car was going right past the street. She 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: flagged down the police patrol car. They got out, they 67 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: stopped this guy. They put cuffs on him and you 68 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: can see on the body cam footage the officer says, 69 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: what have we got here, and the bloke says, Cabrey's 70 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: cream eggs. So they sit him down. They count them out, 71 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty five cream eggs, about four hundred 72 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: and fifty dollars worth of chocolates, and this guy thought 73 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: this was all okay. So he has avoided a prison sentence. 74 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: The judge says he's going to have a suspended sentence. 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: He will do some community work, he will repay the money. 76 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: The goods are gone back obviously, but he now will 77 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: be banned from the entire county of Cambridgeshire for three 78 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: months in total. So there you go. 79 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: It's a lot of eggs, a lot of eiggs. I'd 80 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: hate to think how many easts does it take you 81 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: to get furtherm in the Thank you for that into 82 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: Brady our UK correspondent. 83 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 84 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: news talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow 85 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio
