Today, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned the UK chancellor she’s risking being stuck in ‘Groundhog Day’ when it comes to her upcoming Autumn budget.
Adam is joined by Faisal, who’s been speaking to Chancellor Reeves at the IMF summit in Washington DC, and Helen Miller, director of the IFS, who have published their Green Budget document today. They discuss why Rachel Reeves should fear being stuck in an economic doomloop, the taxes that could rise in November’s budget, and what Rachel Reeves has said to Faisal about ‘targeted action’ on inflation and the cost of living.
And, BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardener has been at a lock-in listening to the MI5 boss Sir Ken McCallum giving his annual speech on threats to the UK. Adam and Frank discuss what Sir Ken said about the UK’s relationship with China, following this week’s collapsed China spy case.
