announced another 50 finds you again you're right uh no but as soon as you have more to
say about that sam as i've said to you many times before as you know you you'll be amongst the very
first to know what 100 wines is quite something it wasn't that long ago five months that you said no
rules were ever broken what do you say to people who find it difficult to believe that you ever
really thought this was true well as soon as i have any more to say about that sam you will be
amongst the very first to know but what we're doing here in sorry stoke
prime minister uh kirsten has said that he will resign if he's found guilty of breaking the law
why do you think he did that is it of honor look as soon as i have any more to say on
this on this subject i will make sure that you sam are amongst the very first today but what
we're doing here in stoke is making sure that we focus on the thing i think that matters uh
most to the people of this country right now and that is getting us through the postcoded
aftershocks making sure that we not only help people with uh the cost of living right now uh
with all the things that we're doing and continue to apply maximum ingenuity to to dealing with it
but also take the steps that are necessary to deal with some of the supply side problems particularly
on cost of energy cost of housing uh cost of transport uh cost of child care and look at
what we're doing in the in the queen speech and beyond and you've got the the bills that
are going to be necessary uh to help us through it and we're for the british energy security strategy
is is there to help particularly uh with the uh our basic strategic failure
over the last few decades to make sure that we have dependable uh resources ourselves i've just
been to a fantastic business uh here in stoke uh where they are growing uh they're putting on sales
around europe uh but they they're hiring more and more people uh but they need uh to have secure
dependable energy supplies that's why we're having a nuclear reactor every year that's why we're
going into 50 gigawatts of wind by 2030. that was a queen speech on tuesday but what are you going
to do next there are an array of options that you could reach for what do you think of income tax
cuts a windfall tax getting rid of braid levees and do you think that we need help as some of your
mps say that's basically on the scale of the clovid rescue package which are those options
so we will continue to use all the ingenuity uh and uh compassion that we showed during the
the kobe pandemic and what we're already doing as you know is helping people with the cost of
of energy 9.1 billion package to help people right now uh 22 billion pounds altogether
uh helping local councils to support families that are in particular hardship but the crucial thing
that we're doing is making sure that we steer the economy through the uh the post-covered
aftershocks with continued uh high-wage high skill employment and that has been the real
miracle of the uk economy uh in the in the post kb period we had the biggest plunge in output
for 300 years uh people thought we would now have him unemployment running at about 12 or 14
actually it's right down uh to 3.8 percent uh youth unemployment is at uh
at or near record lows and that is a is a crucial thing so what we're focused on everything we're
doing now is focused on continuing to deliver jobs and growth that is the best way to power through
the difficult times now caused by global inflation in the cost of energy that will eventually
come down that will eventually abate so we've got to deal with we've got to help people
right now with all sorts of things and i've mentioned some of them
but what we've also got to do is fix the underlying supply side issues
