00:00Je visite Farley Hospice aujourd'hui. Ils m'ont dit à moi, non seulement comme le MPE, mais aussi comme le leader de l'Opposition,
00:08sur des problèmes qu'ils ont été confrontés. Ils sont très intéressés dans les législations dans le Parlement
00:14sur l'assistir de mourir, mais ils sont aussi concernés par l'impact que l'emploi taxe est en train d'eux.
00:20Ils ont une augmentation de l'euros de l'euros national pour payer à l'entreprise.
00:27C'est en train d'avoir une vraie douleur sur leur budget.
00:30Hospices font un travail vraiment phénoménal en regardant les gens,
00:33surtout quand on parle d'end-of-life care. Ils ont besoin de plus de ressources, pas de moins.
00:39Et, bien sûr, national news dominée par le trade deal avec les États-Unis.
00:43Est-ce que vous voulez vous remercier le gouvernement? C'est un énorme succès, non ?
00:46Non, ce n'est pas un énorme succès. Ce n'est même pas un trade deal.
00:49C'est un tarif deal. Et nous sommes dans une meilleure position maintenant que nous étions six semaines.
00:54C'est mieux que nous étions la semaine dernière. C'est mieux que rien.
00:57C'est mieux que rien, mais c'est pas beaucoup.
00:59Et une des choses qui me concernent, c'est que nous n'aurons probablement pas de compréhension.
01:03C'est qu'il y a que Labour a settled.
01:06Chaque fois qu'ils negotiateient, Britain seems à perdre.
01:09Si c'est le Chagos Islands ou l'India trade deal,
01:12qu'ils ont annoncé earlier dans la semaine.
01:14Je ne sais pas ce qu'il y a Keir Starmer et Nigel Farage qui fait quiver,
01:19mais ce n'est pas un grand deal pour Britann.
01:23Il y a aussi des talks avec l'EU.
01:25Qui est-ce que vous considère que l'on est le plus important trading partner ?
01:29Le US ou l'EU ?
01:30Ce n'est pas comme ça.
01:32Ce n'est pas un jeu sans rien.
01:33L'EU est notre seul plus grand trading partner.
01:36L'EU est le plus près de l'EU.
01:38Nous avons maintenant une politique d'indépendant trade,
01:41parce que nous avons perdu l'Union Européenne,
01:43donc nous pouvons faire les deux à la même temps.
01:45Mais ce que nous devons faire, c'est être sensible et ne pas être naïve.
01:48Ce que je vois Labour faire, c'est faire des concessions tout le temps
01:51et ne pas avoir beaucoup de revenus.
01:53C'est pourquoi je dis que quand Labour negotiates,
01:55il y a plus.
01:56Nous avons vu ça avec beaucoup de zones,
01:58comme c'est Chagos ou l'India trade deal.
02:00Donc je suis un peu concerné ce qu'ils sont negotiating avec l'EU.
02:04On that issue of the India trade deal,
02:06you've been very critical of that,
02:07and in particular the national insurance exemption
02:10for some Indian workers coming across to the UK,
02:13which is of course reciprocal.
02:14Some Indian officials have said you were ready to sign up to that.
02:17You've said that's complete rubbish.
02:19Who's lying?
02:20They are.
02:21You can actually look at the FT, February 10, 2024.
02:24They actually reported a story where I said that this was not a good idea.
02:28It's not the principle of the double taxation removal that's wrong.
02:32It is the lopsided nature of it.
02:35There are many, many more Indians coming to the UK
02:38than there are British people going to India.
02:40So it will cost us hundreds of millions of pounds.
02:43But it's also extraordinary.
02:44At a time when I'm in a hospice
02:46and they're saying that their NI increases are too high,
02:49£250,000,
02:50we've put a vote down in Parliament.
02:52Keir Starmer voted against it again and again.
02:55We wanted to exempt hospices, just a little thing.
02:57They won't exempt hospices,
02:59but they're giving away that NI to foreign workers.
03:02I don't think that's right for this country.
03:04Okay.
03:05Different subject.
03:06You've also been critical about the Prime Minister
03:09and his decision on winter fuel payments
03:11and cutting it back and incesting it.
03:13Would you reinstate the winter fuel payment in full?
03:16This is not how they should have removed the winter fuel payments.
03:19We've always said that millionaires should not get the winter fuel payment,
03:22but they've taken it away from some very vulnerable elderly people.
03:26Everywhere I went across the country during the local government elections,
03:30what I heard was anger about the winter fuel payment.
03:33And the reason why it's terrible is because Labour made promises
03:36before the general election last year.
03:38They got in off the back of promises that they have now broken.
03:41That's what's so wrong about it.
03:43And just finally, it seems like Suella Bravman might be potentially considering a defection to reform.
03:49Are you having conversations with your MPs?
03:52Are you expecting any more defections?
03:53Are you telling them to stick with the Conservative Party?
03:55I'm not expecting any defections.
03:58There are always rumours.
03:59There are always rumours about MPs.
04:02I know that this is something the reform is putting about.
04:05What I'm actually hearing from my councillors
04:07is that a lot of reform people lost last week
04:09and are calling them, asking them for help
04:11because they don't know what to do.
04:13They don't have the experience.
04:14I think that a lot of people are going to be very disappointed
04:16that they've voted people in and they're already quitting.
04:19I heard of one in Nottinghamshire that's quit.
04:21This is what you get with reform.
04:23They're quitters. They are not serious people.
04:25The Conservative Party is here.
04:27We have a history that goes back well over 200 years.
04:31We may not be at the top of the polls today, but we are coming back
04:35because the people of this country need to know
04:37that we are the only credible alternative to a Labour government.
04:40Thank you very much.
04:41Thank you very much.
04:43Thank you very much.
