Reeves's welfare Budget betrayal
Episode description
The Chancellor is set to raise taxes in her autumn Budget – again – despite Labour promising not to, and it’s all to fund £15bn in extra benefits.
Rachel Reeves is expected to end the two-child benefit cap, just the latest reversal on a policy unpopular with Labour backbenchers.
Camilla and Tim are joined by Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith to explain the thinking inside the Treasury during one of the most chaotic lead-ups to a Budget in memory.
Plus, Conservative chairman Kevin Hollinrake has caused a storm after comparing a Reform football shirt to a Nazi symbol. His Reform counterpart David Bull calls for Hollinrake’s resignation.
