NateHOST
Downing Street points the Labour's manifesto pledge to restore the target only as soon as fiscally circumstances allow.
NateHOST
The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that this informal commitment would cost roughly £13 billion a year.
NateHOST
So not only their aim is to give £13 billion... of our money away a year externally, like actually just spaff it up the wall out of the country.
NateHOST
But again, remember, pair that with the 12 billion on foreigners in this country as well.
BeauHOST
If this is true, and it's not definitely 100% true at this point, it is still a bit like sources suggest, it may be the case that The headline here from The Independent, reforms millions in tax breaks for crypto investors.
BeauHOST
Farage's party to hand hundreds of millions in capital gains relief to currency financiers, including two mega donors, as Institute of Fiscal Studies says, there is no feasible rationale for policy.
BeauHOST
Well, if that does become reforms policy, and if they do win power and then enact that policy, That will be really bad.
BeauHOST
Well, it would be quite an obvious case of corruption, wouldn't it? There's not really any other word you could use for it at that point.
Helen MillerHOST
Hello, and welcome to the IFS Zooms In.
Helen MillerHOST
I'm Helen Miller, director of The Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Helen MillerHOST
On becoming Prime Minister, Andy Burnham said he wants to create a national care service, in his own words, "A system that can become highly integrated with the NHS." He is not the first prime minister to have ambitions to fix social care.
Helen MillerHOST
Debates about how to change the system have been around for decades, but his predecessors ultimately found it too hard and kicked the can down the road.
James RoweHOST
Is that right?
Holly LanyonGUEST
Yeah, that was from a recent report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Holly LanyonGUEST
So Yeah, there's a huge variation in what employers offer, but unfortunately it isn't distributed equally.
Holly LanyonGUEST
So yeah, those who earn the most are actually more likely to have a more generous pension scheme.
Scott GallowayHOST
The key appears to be how long you stay at home.
Scott GallowayHOST
Research cited by the Institute for Fiscal Studies found that US men who lived at home for a single year in their late twenties had better labor market outcomes than those who didn't.
Scott GallowayHOST
However, staying four to six years was associated with a reduced likelihood of holding full-time employment.
Scott GallowayHOST
So it's situational.
Daniel KebedeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is the last thing that any teacher wants to engage in, strike action, but I think it is a recognition from government that when there is that strength of feeling, things need to change, and it certainly feels, uh, that this is a welcome step forward.
Branwen JeffreysCORRESPONDENT
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the money would mean the pay increase this year was fully funded, and coming on top of other rises in funding, it would leave schools 1.6 billion pounds better off by next year than they expected this summer.
Branwen JeffreysCORRESPONDENT
The government said high-quality teaching was the single most important factor in improving outcomes for children.
Branwen JeffreysCORRESPONDENT
While this money comes from within government, it will still be seen as highly significant as the Treasury juggles priorities in the run-up to the budget.
Nick de SouzaHOST
Indeed, think tanks can shed a light on issues that would otherwise be ignored.
Nick de SouzaHOST
The Institute for Fiscal Studies was among the first to reveal the fiscal black hole after the trust mini budget was shelved.
Nick de SouzaHOST
Bright Blue, a conservative think tank, conducted research that showed an overwhelming majority of the UK public wanted the government to continually increase benefits in line with the cost of living.
Nick de SouzaHOST
In conducting this research, these think tanks are putting pressure on the government to reverse course.
Jaya SoodGUEST
You know, it's not just mortgage holders that will suffer from that.
Jaya SoodGUEST
Although the Institute for Fiscal Studies showed that 350,000 people have been pushed into poverty as a result of higher mortgage costs.
Jaya SoodGUEST
It's also a knock on effect that that has on on rents, for example, if homeowners with a mortgage see their mortgage costs increase, and they're renting that home out to renters, then they're going to increase rents as well.
Jaya SoodGUEST
So you know, there are other ways of dealing with kind of imported supply shock induced inflation.
Helen MillerHOST

Helen MillerHOST
Immigration into the UK has changed a lot in recent years, partly in response to some major policy changes.
Helen MillerHOST
The total number of people coming into the UK surged from around 800,000 on the eve of the pandemic to the historic high of over f- 1.4 million in 2023.

But there's a problem with this analysis, because schools in communities with similar levels of poverty in England often perform much better than those in Wales.
speaker_0HOST
The Institute for Fiscal Studies found that at GCSE level, the average pupil in Wales performed at roughly the same level as the most disadvantaged pupils in England, and in this week's PISA results, poorer kids in England actually scored higher in reading than the Welsh average.
speaker_0HOST
So maybe the real question is a more uncomfortable one.
speaker_0HOST
Have the decisions Wales has made since education was devolved made things worse? [camera clicking] Let's go back to the '90s, because until 1999, schools in Wales and England broadly followed the same rules.
