"I'd say 95% of all talk in the city is about property: how to claim it back, how to sell it. You'll hear people talk about it while queuing to buy some bread, on your way to a chemist, in the food market, everywhere," he says.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves's stance on ruling out borrowing more money and not raising taxes again has led to strong speculation spending cuts will be made.The Conservatives said Reeves was only left with seemingly "impossible choices" because she "chose to push borrowing and spending to the limit".
"They have pushed up the cost of living, unemployment is rising, growth is stalling," shadow chancellor Mel Stride said. "And yet Rachel Reeves still clings to her tax-and-spend dogma like it's the 1970s."The IFS said the government had "front-loaded" its spending over the course of the parliament term in the first couple of years, which meant spending would slow down. "The consequences of this decision must be confronted," the IFS warned.When it comes to daily spending on public services, the think tank suggested a "huge amount depends on the generosity" of cash handed to the NHS - which accounts for 39% of day-to-day departmental spending - as well as defence.
NHS spending is planned to be £202bn in 2025-2026, the IFS said, which could pull funding from other areas as the government prioritises reducing patient waiting times and improving access to dental care."Increasing health funding at anything like the historical average rate would mean imposing real-terms cuts on other 'unprotected' departments," the think tank said.
It said this would prove challenging, especially given the government's ambitions to improve the criminal justice system and to deal with prison overcrowding.
The IFS added the level of health spending was "in some sense, the central trade-off for the Spending Review" and one that would only become starker if defence spending was increased further or faster than currently planned.Often seen in anti-fit trousers, chunky sneakers, and stacks of necklaces that he matches with his colourful turbans, his unique form of self-expression has captured the imagination of millions, leading to interesting reinventions in the traditional Punjabi attire.
The changes can be felt everywhere. A 16-minute high-intensity bhangra competition in California would be impossible without high performance sneakers. And basement bhangra nights in Berlin are enjoyed in crop tops and deconstructed pants.Punjabi music itself, high on volume and energy - with lyrics packed with the names of cities and global luxury brands - has become a subculture.
It's not just Dosanjh - several other Punjabi musicians have also influenced the region's style game.Not long ago, Punjabi-Canadian singer Jazzy B's rings, often the size of a cookie, along with his plus-sized Kanda pendant and silver blonde hair tints, were trending.
