Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.com.uk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to dip

your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. So welcome to our Monday afternoon evening podcast. Welcome and it's the, we're recorded

this in the middle of the Labour Conference which is going on in Liverpool and it was Rachel Reeves

today. She's been fixing foundations. She's been fixing

foundations and we're not just talking about her makeup folks. But let's have a blast from her

speech. Yeah. Next month I will deliver the first budget of this Labour government, the first Labour

budget in 14 years.

And because I know how much damage has been done in those 14 years, let me say one

thing straight up, there will be no return to austerity well that was that was that was that was that was

that was that was the sound by de jure wasn't it no more austerity what is it can i just interject on a

sort of completely shallow level and just say what is it with first time labor chancellors that they can't talk and smile at the same time?

Well, you see, I think the smile.

Reeves and exactly the same as Gordon Brown.
