Hi folks, welcome to this impromptu discussion on British politics that Dan and I are going to have,

0:05.3

talking about the fallout from the budget and the way that the British political landscape is at the moment,

0:10.4

because as I'm sure you're aware, because if you're watching this, you probably work, you probably pay your taxes,

0:17.7

you probably wanted a future in this country and you're probably thinking,

0:21.6

you know what, I'm not sure that's available anymore. And we're obviously really concerned about

1:14.5

It can be done online.

1:15.6

I don't know if Find out now does do online polling, though, but entirely possible.

1:21.5

And it could have been done after the actual budget was released, which was at 1230.

So it's fair to assume that people have got a fairly good idea of what the budget is about.
