Political Pints #7: What is the Fiscal hole?


Listen Later

Welcome back to Political Pints. Today, Dan and Martin discuss the £22 billion fiscal hole that Rachel Reeves, chancellor, claims has been left by the Conservatives. What is this fiscal hole derived from? More importantly, how could this shape the upcoming spending plans and Autumn budget? 

Next, a look at the early stages of the Conservative leadership race. Who stands a good chance to lead a resurgence within the party? Have there already been some tactical errors conducted so early in the process?

Finally, but most importantly a look at the issue of knife crime within the UK. What can be done to tackle this terrible issue? 

Disclaimer- Dan and Martin offer their deepest condolences to the families of the children killed in the knife attack in Southport. A terrible tragedy, that sadly occurs too often in the UK. Which is why, it is so important to have open conversations about this issue.
