Even if this war in Iran comes to an end
0:03
in the coming days or weeks in some
0:05
form, the consequences for the British
0:07
economy, for many economies, will be
0:09
profound and negative. I just watched
0:12
the Prime Minister's Downing Street
0:14
press conference in which he didn't
0:15
really say anything other than that it's
0:17
good news for people on the minimum wage
0:19
cuz that's going up and they pensions
0:21
going up and welfare spending is going
0:23
up. In contrast to many other countries
0:25
and economies who have taken quite
0:26
deliberate action on tax, for example,
0:28
on the cost of fuel. If you look at
0:30
Australia, their Prime Minister also
0:32
addressed the nation and committed to
0:34
building refineries to make fuel and to
0:36
become more energy independent and to
0:37
use their natural resources and to cut
0:40
the taxes that people are having to
0:41
grapple with. We didn't get anything
0:42
like that from Keir Starmer. Seems that
0:45
every time he says anything about the
0:46
Iran war, it's just to reiterate that
0:48
we're not in it. He's very keen for us
