Today, John Healey delivered his first major speech as chancellor, aiming to boost confidence in the economy with a positive message. The chancellor set out his intentions for growth, investment and more jobs. But midway through, Jaguar Land Rover announced they would be making thousands of job cuts after struggling with competition from China and falling behind in the electric vehicle race. Economics editor Faisal Islam and business editor Simon Jack explain what it means for the country, and they chat through Healey’s new ‘Make Great Britain Growth Britain Again” And we've had a weekend of anti-migration protests.

  • Hello, I've come back from the weekend thinking about great political slogans like...

  • You have nothing to fear, but fear itself,

  • or ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

  • And then John Healy, the Chancellor,

  • came out with a new one today while he was doing a scene-setting speech for the budget in October,

  • which I'm afraid probably doesn't quite rank up there with those greats.

  • And I dedicate myself to this mission as Chancellor, to make Great Britain growth Britain again.

  • So I can see two flaws with that if I'm thinking about it analytically.

  • A, it's quite hard to say.

  • Make Great Britain growth Britain again.

  • And also, I don't remember a time when anyone called us Growth Britain.
