The Today Podcast

Analysis: A Budget for the history books


Listen Later

How will the first Budget by a female chancellor and the first from a Labour government since 2010 be remembered? Nick is joined by Stephanie Flanders, head of economics and politics at Bloomberg, and Professor Tim Leunig from the London School of Economics, who advised two Conservative chancellors.

Together they dig deeper into the Budget following Nick’s interview with Rachel Reeves on the Today programme. Plus Amol takes a break from half term childcare to give us his reflections.
