Today, we look at whether this week’s winter fuel U-turn could lead to the government changing course on other spending cuts. Paddy’s taken to the streets of Camden to find out what the public think of their local MP, Keir Starmer. And we hear from some of the 18 year old Newscasters who have got in touch to tell us what they think about the current state of UK/EU relationship. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

  • BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts.

  • I'm not sure there needs to be much further debate about whether or not it was a U-turn.

  • There has been some.

  • For my money, it's your classic 100% smell the burning rubber screeching U-turn.

  • So that's not really much debate there.

  • Not really.

  • I mean, and we've seen lots of U-turns before also when they say,

  • but we'll have to tell you what else we're going to do in the stead.

  • A bit later on.

  • But yes, classic U-turn.

  • For this newscast and for our newscasters, does one U-turn open the floodgates?

  • Potentially.

  • And it does shake the credibility a little bit of the decision makers at the top of government.

  • But when you still have a majority of a gazillion,

  • this does not open the door to the government necessarily giving way on lots and lots and lots of things.

  • So if you don't have time, that is our whole Saturday newscast in 90 seconds.

  • But here we go with the rest of it.

  • Newscast.

  • Newscast from the BBC.

  • He has just compared me to the Fat Controller.
