We have a tracking poll where we ask
0:01
people about their personal finances,
0:03
about confidence in their personal
0:04
finances. One in five members of the
0:07
British public say they would not be
0:08
able to meet an unexpected £500 bill.
0:13
And as you talk about, this very often
0:15
refers to people who who are struggling

>> It's It's an interesting question. You
0:46
know, I look at the poll myself also
0:48
from when I cover it. And you know,
0:49
people are increasingly each month
0:51
feeling less confident. And that's a
0:53
real juxtaposition to seeing lot more
0:55
noise around investment, as you say. If
0:57
you go on any tube on, you know, any
0:59
