    The only welfare reform that would make any significant savings would be pensions, and quite rightly that isn't happening as UK state pensions are already among the worst in Europe. £120bn in capital expenditure is not new though is it? The commitment was made in 2024 and yet despite an...

    Martyn waghorn interview , talks about his dislike for adi and robins
