Episode Budget 2026: Cheaper gherkins but bigger bills?
It’s budget eve but can the Chancellor really deliver a ‘breathing space’ budget?
With living standards under pressure, Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy explore the trade-offs John Healey must balance between the cost-of-living crisis, the government’s plan for growth and whether ministers can convince voters that they’re easing the pressure.
Plus, Sam heads to Doncaster-Sheffield Airport where a bold bet on devolution could deliver where the private sector failed.
