Thank you for tuning in.

And you can guess what I will be reflecting on today if it's okay with all of you,

but contextualizing it. The statement being made by Rachel Reeves on Wednesday,

some of you will have heard the statement and its immediate repercussions. By the time you

listen to this, many of you will be in my position of reflecting on it in advance.

But it doesn't matter with what I'm doing because I'm going to be looking at the fiscal rule and the context of the fiscal rule.

And the degree to which other Labour chancellors have dealt with some of the challenges that Rachel Reeves faces now in different contexts,

the mistakes they made and the mistakes that I fear she is making in her approach to the whole issue of conveying or trying to convey reassuring stability.

So, yeah, that's to come.
