Episode Nothing left to tax – are painful cuts on the way?
It’s the first budget of the Andy Burnham Government – but Chancellor John Healey’s been accused of kicking important decisions around welfare spending and defense into the long grass.
So did John Healey play it too safe, or was he wise to try and avoid market and political upset?
Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Gillian Keegan give their verdicts on the budget – and discuss whether John Healey was being too ‘laddy’ when he was filmed downing a pint at the pub afterwards.
Plus, former Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones joins the pod to give his assessment.
