Robinson ended with a broad-brush question.

You came into the job promising change – one word on the Labour manifesto. Was it our mistake not to understand that change under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, meant cuts for benefits for the poorest, cuts to pensioners’ winter fuel allowance, cuts to overseas aid, a squeeze on public spending, a huge new tax rise on jobs, large scale redundancies amongst public officials, and big increases in the council tax. Is that what change meant.

And Reeves replied with a broad-brush answer defending her record.

NHS waiting lists down for five months, rolling out free breakfast clubs in primary schools, the national living wage going up by £1,400 pounds from next week, 2.5% of GDP spent on defence, including £2.2bn pounds invested next year, record housebuilding, the highest level of housebuilding for 40 years. That’s the change that we promised, that’s the change that we are delivering.
