0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the Kirstammer government's new program. |
0:07.2 | And let's also perhaps talk about the event that is taking place in the UK, |
0:14.1 | some European Council foreign policy events where all of the big decision makers in Europe are gathered. |
0:22.5 | At this moment, Kirstammer is hosting this event, and even Zelensky showed up. |
0:27.9 | Or no surprise that Zelensky showed up because the last place he wants to be in is Kiev. |
0:33.2 | Anyway, what is what is Kirstammer's plan going forward for the UK? |
0:38.7 | Well, it's a fascinating situation because, of course, he's now prime minister. |
0:42.8 | He has this thumping majority behind him. |
0:45.7 | He's achieved it with 33% of the vote, just over a third of the vote. |
0:50.2 | I have been doing a bit more number crunching, by the way, |

1:37.5 | He's going to adhere to the Sunat government's fiscal targets. Probably he has no choice there, |
1:46.1 | actually. The budgetary position in Britain is very bad. There's not going to be any fundamental changes in the tax structure. |
1:51.6 | Apparently, that's all been ruled out. There was a king speech. This is the speech that the |
1:57.8 | king of Britain makes to the House house to the houses of parliament it outlines |
2:05.3 | the government's program um there's been a lot of commentary about this if you read the daily |
2:11.9 | telegraph you'd say that this is a massively ambitious and very dangerous and ill thought out program if you go to the guardian you'd say that this is a massively ambitious and very dangerous and ill thought-out program. |
2:18.3 | If you go to the Guardian, you'd say this is a massively ambitious and brilliantly thought-out program, |
