Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says Stop the Boats slogan was ‘too stark’ | BBC Newscast

Today, we look at former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s first major interview since he left office.

Nick Robinson joins Adam to unpack what Mr Sunak had to say, including why he regrets the ‘Stop the Boats’ slogan, how he felt about a podcast questioning his Englishness and what his political philosophy boils down to.

But first, Adam is joined by BBC Economics editor Faisal Islam to discuss the UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves looking at making spending cuts worth billions to the government’s welfare budget.

The Treasury will put the proposed cuts to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) on Wednesday amid expectations the chancellor’s financial headroom has disappeared. Adam and Faisal Islam unpack what we know about the proposed cuts, and the chancellor’s Spring Statement later this month.
