James Nation: Property Taxes, Pitch-Rolling & Budget Nerves

Former No.10 policy insider James Nation joins Tom to decode the run-in to the 26 November Budget: OBR round-one forecasts, the 10-year gilt “observation window”, and why a productivity downgrade matters for the property market.

Plus: Treasury vs Downing St culture, Labour’s deputy leadership race and whether Starmer and Reeves are still in post next year. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
