‘Playing with fire’ budget, brilliant (not) bookshop & innovation paradox; weather & currency (<3mins)



On Tuesday 29th September 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news reports tensions in the government after the first state-budget negotiations, plus the expansion of the green rail pass to major urban networks.



Other headlines include Vilamoura Marina being named Superyacht Marina of the Year 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo being benched for the third time in his career during Sunday’s win over Norway, an “innovation paradox” in which private investment fails to match public support, Algarve unions calling a Portimão protest over the soaring cost of living, and an AIMA roadshow on migrant-community integration in Sines.



Weather stays overcast with possible thunderstorms; Lisbon is forecast at 25°C.



The show also looks back at yesterday’s visit to Cascais and Indie Not A Bookshop, now confirmed as a monthly special guest.
