This week I have my first guest on the show to help me make sense of who's who in the world of tax. You're never too old to learn lessons from your mum!

A new instalment on the Rethink Tax podcast - Question of the Week! This week we explore the announcement from Government to pump £16.5 billion additional funding into the Ministry of Defence. I ask how spending decisions are made and unpick the trade offs that come with making big spending decisions. 

Intro to Rethink Tax. Listen here as I seek to demystify the world of UK public finances and ask the Big Questions about what we want from public services and how we are going to pay for it.
