Nov 01, 2024•32 min•Season 1Ep. 1419
Episode description
Rachel Reeves’ first budget has caused quite the stir. But what aspects were really surprising – and important? What was risky? And what issues didn’t it address? Ros Taylor discusses all this and more with Giles Wilkes, senior fellow at the Institute for Government.
• “It was very much an old Labour budget.”
• “It was the first honest attempt at saying, ‘If you want this, it’s got to be paid for,’ since Gordon Brown.”
• “They missed any opportunity to make the tax system less bonkers.”
