The Big Budget Breakdown: What it really means – with Ros Taylor and the IFG's Giles Wilkes

Rachel Reeves’ first budget has caused quite the stir. But what aspects were really surprising – and important? What was risky? And what issues didn’t it address? Ros Taylor discusses all this and more with Giles Wilkes, senior fellow at the Institute for Government. • “It was very much an old Labour budget.” • “It was the first honest attempt at saying, ‘If you want this, it’s got to be paid for,’ since Gordon Brown.” • “They missed any opportunity to make the tax system less bonkers.” We are sponsored by Indeed.
