We don't usually bring you an episode of Bloomberg UK Politics on a Friday, but we wanted to share this episode of the 'In The City Podcast' that we think you'll like.

It's almost 100 days since Keir Starmer's Labour government was elected on a pledge to 'change Britain' and reboot economic growth. But the investors and business people Labour courted ahead of that landslide win are increasingly concerned about progress and the big decisions in the budget. Bloomberg UK Politics host Caroline Hepker joins the 'In The City podcast' to discuss her reporting. Hosts Francine Lacqua and David Merritt are also joined by former Conservative minister Richard Harrington, who shares his thoughts on Labour’s rhetoric and whether the party can bring back foreign investment.
