With the Labour government’s first big budget now firmly approaching over the hill, we went out into Manchester to ask people on the street whether they were expecting big things, and what they would like to see pushed through.

00:00Hi, I'm Theo with Manchester World. Today I'm out in the streets of Manchester asking people about

00:03the upcoming winter budget. Now the reason for that is there's a lot of talk around it,

00:07essentially. A lot of people would argue that Labour have been quite doom and gloom,

00:11talking a lot about holes in the budget and the financial situation being worse than they expected,

00:15while others are trying to argue that the adults are back in the room and they're being sensible.

00:19Just to give us a bit more hope, especially in the whole climate.

00:21Everyone's also got hope for the future, you know.

00:24Not in every community, but in somewhere it's important

00:27to better support care systems and to not cut things that people need like heat during the

00:31winter. It's unfair and kind of the wrong way to go, I think.

00:37I understand why they're taking things carefully,

00:40but I do think, you know, if they want to commit to a scheme that they said, you know,

00:45could have an impact on people, they probably just do need to just go for it

00:49in terms of getting the response they want.

00:51I mean, there's plenty of homeless people around here at the moment. I mean, I'm sure they benefit

00:55from places where they could go, places where they could get food.
