Listen "Brexit means... more taxes?"
Episode Synopsis
As Labour prepares its first Budget, can the party really blame Brexit for Britain’s sluggish productivity – and will voters be convinced? We also ask why Britain still isn’t building enough homes, and whether a new environmental levy risks making the crisis worse.Plus: in an age of short-form video and fractured attention, where have all the great communicators gone? With Thatcher’s centenary in mind, the panel explores what it takes to cut through in modern politics – and who, if anyone, is getting it right.Marc Sidwell is joined by writer and strategist John Oxley and former Downing Street communications adviser Robert Midgley for a sharp look at the week’s big political questions.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.
