Episode description
Rising energy prices pushed up inflation in October, meaning prices elsewhere will also rise.
As businesses warn Labour's first budget could lead to further price rises and even job cuts, where does this leave Chancellor Rachel Reeves's plan for the UK to be the fastest growing economy in the G7?
Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's economics and data editor Ed Conway, who explains what's behind last month's inflation rise and why he thinks there could be some good news on the horizon.
Producer: Rosie Gillott
Editor: Philly Beaumont
