- 327. We got 98 measures but growth ain't one - Paul Johnson's Budget analysis
Why is the government so rubbish at working out who needs help and who doesn't? Will the switcheroo of taxes for entrepreneurs help enterprise? What's wrong with Burnham's housing plan? Why are interest rates so lethal for the government?
With more costed or "scored" measures in this budget than any other, former IFS boss Paul Johnson tells Steph and Robert what hits the mark and what doesn't. Plus Robert is back on his 'linkers' hobby horse.
