Episode 323. Are creditors too hard on the UK?
Why are economists’ estimates of our fiscal headroom so different from each other? What does the chancellor John Healey need to do to get the markets on side? Will multiple small tax tweaks get us the money we need? Are we realistic enough about public spending? How might tax distribution change with devolution?
Robert and Steph discuss the UK’s economic credibility with Helen Miller - director of the IFS. Plus, more chat on the importance of those pesky ‘linkers’.
The Rest is Money is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain’s smart energy pioneer.
