Episode Rachel Reeves' Halloween budget: trick or treat?

0:00 40:32

Budget day is over and Halloween is here - and Rachel Reeves certainly came up with some pretty scary numbers.

Stewart Wood, a former adviser to Gordon Brown at the Treasury and No10, joins the podcast team to make sense of the chancellor’s statement. Will her plans - this is one of the biggest tax raising budgets in modern history - come back to haunt her? Will her new rules for borrowing spook the markets? Or will her announcements begin the process of bringing economic growth back from the near-dead?

Hannah White presents.

Produced by Candice McKenzie.
