Talking Politics

Rachel Reeves’ £30bn tax rise NIGHTMARE


Listen Later

The Treasury is expecting £30 billion tax rises in November’s Budget - so how will chancellor Rachel Reeves fund that without breaking her spending rules?

In Talking Politics, Tom Bradby and Robert Peston look at her possible solutions and why the next moves represent a nightmare for the chancellor.

Meanwhile, Nigel Farage claims Reform would save Britain billions cracking down on legal migration by removing the indefinite leave to remain for many who have made Britain home.

And while the controversial immigration policy’s funding plan has been widely questioned - could it add up to another voting win for Reform?

Plus, what does the freedom of speech row that took Jimmy Kimmel off air for a few days tell us about the Trump regime? And how has Robert’s question to the US president captured the imagination of Jon Stewart and the makers of Diaper Diplomacy?
