0:00.0 | Donald Trump is heading back to the White House. |
0:03.1 | Together we can truly make America great again. |
0:06.7 | We are in for an unpredictable but fascinating four years. |
0:10.3 | And we're going to be following every twist and turn for the first 100 days. |
0:15.0 | We'll be bringing you the latest updates and analysis first thing every morning. |
0:19.5 | So join me, James McHugh. Me, Martha Kalnick, and me, Mark Stone, |
0:23.5 | for Trump 100 every weekday at 6am, wherever you get your podcast. |
0:32.6 | Hello and welcome to the Safeway Ridge on Sunday podcast, the first of 2019. Well, to kick off the new year, we had a stellar line-up, if I say so myself. |
0:41.3 | Health Secretary Matt Hancock was on the show to announce the government's new 10-year plan for the NHS, |
0:46.3 | and we were joined by Labor's shadow trade secretary, Barry Gardner. Now, if you're a regular viewer, you'll know that one of the things that we like to do as much as possible on Sophie Ridge on Sunday is to get out of Westminster out of the bubble and travel around the country. |

1:31.3 | The annual budget for the NHS in England will be £20 billion higher, |
1:36.1 | and there will be more money for the Devold nations too. |
1:39.0 | This increase is still below what many people say the health service actually needs, |
1:43.0 | but at least it was a recognition |
1:44.7 | that voters want something to be done. But the money did not come string-free. It will be accompanied |
1:50.1 | by a new 10-year plan, which will lay out how the extra cash will be spent. And finally, after |
1:56.5 | some delay, we'll be finding out what's in that plan it's being unveiled this week. So who |
