We spoke to Darren Jones, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Let’s just begin with that point Helia was making about this new guarantee that the OBR will always look into budgets. It prevents anything happening like the Liz Truss mini-budget again. But who are you controlling? You weren’t going to do that, were you? It’s just politics is my point.
The chancellor has already said in TV interviews that we’re not planning on tinkering with policies in that way. We’re going to do the proper hard work. Yes, with the hard decisions to start with, but an absolute focus on growth, to give sustainable revenue to the exchequer for public services.As chief secretary, you’ve got to work out how much each department’s going to get. You’re going to have to do the spending review.
You asked me if people were feeling change. I think the public are feeling optimistic about a Labour government being in the driving seat in our country, setting out now in the momentum we have about our absolute focus on delivering the promises we made at this election.Can you also clear up a story that’s doing the rounds in a lot of the newspapers at the moment, which is about Sue Gray, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff.
