00:00The most recent numbers showed that Britain to be the fastest growing economy in the G7.
00:06Four cuts to interest rates since August last year, saving working families taking out a new
00:12mortgage hundreds of pounds every year. And real wages have risen more in the first 10 months of
00:18this Labour government than they did in the first 10 years of the last Conservative government.

00:30And that's what tomorrow's spending review is all about. Making working people better off.
00:37Investing in our security. Investing in our health. Investing in our economy.
00:44This government is going for growth because that is the best way to create jobs, boost wages,
00:50lift people out of poverty and sustainably fund our schools and our hospitals and all the public
00:55services we rely on. And we're doing things differently. Because unlike the Tories, I don't
01:03think that the only good thing that a government can do is get out of the way.
