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.
