What is Jeremy Hunt’s plan for the UK budget this week? Where are tax and spending plans heading? Will any version of the budget make a dent in the Labour Party’s lead in the polls?

UK government reporter Joe Mayes, creator of the UK budget game, joins this week’s In the City to explore those questions and outline what options he believes the Chancellor of the Exchequer has available to him.

Hosts Francine Lacqua, Allegra Stratton and Bloomberg Opinion columnist Adrian Wooldridge also ask about the Conservative Party’s attitude toward its election chances and what we might expect to see from a Labour budget should the party come to power in the next election.
