The chancellor is being accused of "lying" over what she knew and when ahead of her budget – so did Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer actually mislead the public?
Beth walks us through a detailed timeline of the OBR forecasts, the so-called "black... more
With all the speculation, it was always going to be a big one, but Rachel Reeves's second budget turned into a political earthquake before she even stood up at the dispatch box.

It’s a good pod, but I’m going off sky and their priorities in terms of reporting. I’m sick of the constant picking at things they wouldn’t do for other parties (in power or not) and fewer deep dives on any actual policy - and hey, I hate a lot of the policies but still.
I don’t think Beths response to Lorna’s question this week on media bias was nearly good enough and was self serving.
I’ve listened since this pod started and it was a real go-to for a fresh take on politics. Since Jess Phillips (understandably) had to leave the show it’s definitely gone downhill. Harriet Harman has been a bad choice of replacement, she’s so consistently on message for Labour and DULL, DULL, DULL. Beth does a great job, but not having input from someone actually working in the House of Commons means it’s lost its sparkle.
I used to love this pod, but it’s circling the drain now. HH is a joke mouthpiece for a failing government, devoid of emotional intelligence and imbalanced to a point of farce. Total waste of time, lost a listener.
