The Chancellor posed the question that
0:02
she feels will be asked or should be
0:04
asked ahead of the next election, which
0:05
is am I better off? Now, on her
0:07
forecast, she says people will feel
0:09
better off up to the 1,000 pounds a year
0:12
by the time of the next election. You
0:15
know, within all that state, there was a
0:16
lot of noise and a lot of promises, but
0:18
there was nothing concrete in how we're
0:19
going to make this happen. Of course,
0:20
this is a spring statement, it's not
0:21
budget, so it's a different ballgame,
0:22
but again, people don't feel better off.

She said it herself, young people are
0:26
suffering, unemployment is up, there's
0:28
too many young people out of employment,
0:30
apprenticeships are down, there's no way
0:32
that people can get into jobs, there's
0:33
no way they can get on the housing
0:34
ladder. Student loans are still a big
0:36
thing right now, so, you know, within
0:38
all this conversation about how hey,
0:39
we've frozen prescriptions, the rail
0:41
fares are freezing, people are still not
0:43
seeing substantial changes.
