Listen "The Gamble on Growth"
Episode Synopsis
The economic chips are down, and Prime Minister Truss looks set to bet on lowering tax. The Prime Minister and her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng will lay out their plans this week in a "mini-budget", with a focus on tax cuts, but critics say it isn't enough. As the Bank of England puts up interest rates, a potential recession looms (or may have already arrived), and living standards are dropping at the fastest rate in decades, the team discuss the new Prime Minister's massive to-do list, the opposition reaction, and the start of Conference season.
