Sunak's Summer Statement, Indie SAGE and Care Homes

from The Peston Podcast

Join ITV's Political Editor Robert Peston as he talks to Business Secretary Alok Sharma, former Chief Scientific Adviser and Head of Independent SAGE Sir David King, former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls and Tory MP Caroline Nokes. This week we're asking whether the Chancellor has done enough to dampen down the scourge of unemployment that we're all fearing with his Summer Statement, and whether his policies are affordable? We're also discussing how scientific advice plays a role in political decision making, along with whether the Prime Minister was right to say what he said about care homes not following the correct procedures. This podcast features the best interviews and political commentary from Wednesday night’s Peston show on ITV. Remember to subscribe and rate 5 stars.
