Growth. That magic word that all politicians are obsessed with. And you can see why. Because if the economy starts growing then suddenly everything gets a LOT easier. Higher growth means more jobs which means more lovely tax income and that means more lovely money for public

The Former Chief Economist at the Bank of England Andy Haldane tells Sophy Ridge that the Chancellor's warning of a black hole in the public finances in the summer was "unnecessary" and "unhelpful". Watch #PoliticsHub at 7pm ▶️ trib.al/DukWTnT 📺 Sky 501/YT

Andy Haldane: "The mini fiscal event in July - the black hole event - was unnecessary and probably unhelpful economically... it's one thing to reveal a black hole, if that is indeed what it is. But just leaving that to sit for three months I think was a bad idea"

"People in England can only expect to live in good health until their early sixties." Sophy Ridge reflects after the PM said the NHS must "reform or die". #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

“Austerity is not the route to solving even a fiscal problem and of course it’s the last thing you need from a growth perspective.” Andy Haldane urges the Chancellor to go for growth at next month's Budget. #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📺 Sky 501 & YouTube

Andy Haldane tells Sophy Ridge we "should tread carefully" on the idea of "wealth taxes", so that "goodwill towards the UK that's built up", isn't "cut off at its knees". #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

Andy Haldane and Lord Winston on Sophy Ridge politics hub sky . Tv doesn’t get any better. Bravo Sophie!

Labour peer Lord Winston on the NHS report: 'Labour won't want me to say this, but I think we have to ask whether or not we need to consider an insurance scheme or some other hypothecated tax or we accept people have to pay a bit'.

'The longer you keep people alive, the more extra diseases they get, the more cost to the health service' Lord Winston tells Sophy Ridge. 'If everybody smoked it would make the health service cheaper' he adds. #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📺 Sky 501 & YT

Lord Winston is making a nuanced point here: Better preventative care is obviously very important to help us live healthier lives *But it won’t save the health service money* Which is a critical point to realise when we’re thinking about long term funding/sustainability of NHS
