Episode description
Economists are warning that the UK could face one of the highest inflation rates of any major economy this year.
New data from the OECD predicts Britain will see the sharpest price rises among G7 nations - a huge blow to the cost of living and a key challenge ahead of the Government's autumn budget in November.
In today’s episode, Rachelle Abbott is joined by the Standard’s chief political correspondent Rachael Burford to discuss how the UK compares with other G7 nations, and how Chancellor Rachel Reeves might balance the books.
Plus, the Standard’s TV and gaming editor Vicky Jessop on what TV shows should we be curling up in front of this Autumn?
