1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: In the Brady a UK correspondence with us Inda.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: Hello, hello, had They're great, speak to you again?

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: All right? Was there anything in that budget that you

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: were not expecting?

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the sheer scale of the tax rises.

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 3: We knew things were going up, but we didn't realize

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 3: that the tax burden will be going up by eighty

8
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 3: billion en Z dollars. It's a huge, huge gamble by

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: Rachel Reeves. They're calling it the shock and awe budget

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: because nobody saw the scale of it, the ambition of it.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: And look, if she gets it right, as she pointed

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: out in her speech in Parliament, the prize is enormous.

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: Britain back on its feet again, public service is working,

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: a thriving economy and yet there will be some short

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: term pain. But I think what she's looking for is

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: the impact of this down the road, maybe three or

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: four years, that people can stop seeing a health service

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: crumbling in front of their eyes, that can start driving

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: on roads that aren't riddled with potholes, and we can

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: kind of get Britain moving again. Of course, the one

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: big elephant in the room that nobody ever mentions is Brexit,

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: that has bled money out of this country.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Now for a decade.

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: The problem that the only, I mean, the major problem

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: that I can foresee here is that it is going

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: to do the very thing that you don't want to do,

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: which is dissuade investment. Right if you've got that capital

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: gains text going up, is that any of you guys

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: worried about that at all?

30
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: Well, she doesn't seem to be.

31
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: And the three words she repeated were invest, invest, invest,

32
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: So she wants people to come in and get going

33
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: and start pumping cash into Britain. And look, London certainly

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: and other cities still hugely attractive to foreign investors. So

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: I think given time, the markets have not in any

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: way been spooked. I thought she spoke very well, and

37
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: a lot of people were licking their lips really sarcastically

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: at the little dig she made at Sunak when she

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: pointed out that he's leader did two more days until

40
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: the Conservatives appoint a new leader Saturday. But Rachel re

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: Has pointed out that the tax on flying in private

42
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: jets is going up by nine hundred dollars, and she

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: said that's on a flight to California, And she looked

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: directly at Sunak because he spends a lot of time

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: with his family in California, so there were moments of humor,

46
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: but I think all in all, let's just wait and

47
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: see if she can turn Britain around.

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting have been starkesman. They must have been frightening

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: for his family.

50
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: Yes, So he was in Pakistan playing cricket for England

51
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: and a gang of hoodlums turned up in masks raided

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: the house, basically ripped jewelry from the family and crucially

53
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: as well what's been taken is his Obe medal. Now

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: Ben Stokes has put a statement out just saying how

55
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 3: angry he is that this has happened when his wife

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: and children were in the house in Durham Up in

57
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: the northeast of England and he was off playing cricket

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: in Pakistan representing his country.

59
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: So shocking stuff and shame on them.

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: And one interesting point Stokes said, He's not interested in guns.

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: My family are find what I'm interested in and why

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: I'm putting pictures of these items out for people to

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: name who did this so the police can catch them

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: and no family has to go through that again.

65
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Quite now, Ryan Reynolds day, so he's to be as

66
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: he's brought to be a company or bought some.

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: Of he has.

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: Yes, so this is this is a wonderful story. You

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: talk about investment and foreign money coming into the UK.

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: So a few years.

71
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: Ago Ryan Reynolds teamed up with his acting mate from Hollywood,

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: Ryan McIlhenny.

73
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: They bought Wrexham Football Club.

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: So Wrexham, it's a Welsh club in with Norris disrespect

75
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: to Wrexham or the people, a struggling town, an economically

76
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: depressed town. They came in, they bought the soccer team.

77
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: There were a non league at the time, in the

78
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: fifth division of English and Welsh soccer. They've risen up

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: and there are now two promotions away from the Premier League.

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: So Rexham are absolutely flying on the soccer field. There

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: is a local brewery and they've decided now to buy

82
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: that as well.

83
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: So I think in.

84
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Terms of jobs, growth, investment, the name Wrexham going all

85
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: over the world because of course they have this TV

86
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: show Welcome to Wrexham, which is on all the streaming services.

87
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: It's very very good.

88
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: I think a lot of towns and football clubs will

89
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: just be wondering where can we get our hands on

90
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: someone like Reynolds and his mate McIlhenny, but Wrexham larger

91
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: will be going stateside.

92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,880
