  • Reeves’ £30bn treasure hunt

    Reeves’ £30bn treasure hunt
    2025/10/31

    With a month to go until the Budget, chancellor Rachel Reeves needs to find a projected £30bn to balance the books. And the forecasts are not in her favour, with the OBR’s bigger than expected productivity downgrade dealing another blow to the Treasury this week. So where will the chancellor find the money – and if Labour have no choice but to break their manifesto tax pledge, where will that leave them with the electorate?


    Host George Parker is joined by associate editor and columnist Stephen Bush, chief UK commentator Robert Shrimsley and the FT’s economics editor Sam Fleming.

  • Budget, boats and a by-election

    Budget, boats and a by-election
    2025/10/24

    Chancellor Rachel Reeves received a rare bit of good news from lower inflation statistics this week, which could reduce government borrowing ahead of the November Budget. But the uphill struggle to improve Labour’s standing in the polls continues after a drubbing in Caerphilly, the embarrassing failure of the one-in-one-out migrant policy and the chaotic start to the grooming gang inquiry. Host George Parker is on hand to dissect the week along with deputy political editor Jim Pickard, UK chief political commentator Robert Shrimsley and the FT’s northern England correspondent Jennifer Williams. Plus, is the King getting poor advice from the PM over Prince Andrew in the wake of further damaging revelations about the prince’s links to Jeffrey Epstein?

  • Britain: a beacon of economic stability?

    Britain: a beacon of economic stability?
    2025/10/17
    The countdown is on: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has just six weeks to finalise her Autumn Budget before the 26 November deadline. This week, she was in Washington DC for the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund, where she hinted at tax rises for the rich, while pinning some blame for Britain’s economic problems on her predecessors. The British public is not likely to love the Chancellor’s efforts to fill the projected £22 billion hole, but who will they hold responsible? Host George Parker is joined by deputy opinion editor Miranda Green, associate editor and columnist Stephen Bush, and the FT’s economics commentator Chris Giles for a deep dive into the UK’s public finances, and to explain why the China spy case roiling Westminster is all about economics.Follow George on: @georgewparker.bsky.social or @GeorgeWParker; Chris on @chrisgiles.ft.com or @ChrisGiles_; Stephen on @stephenkb and Miranda on @greenmirandahere.bsky.social or @greenmirandaWant more?
