Labour budget: are we heading for austerity?

23 min listen

In This Episode

Labour’s first Budget in 14 years will be delivered at the end of the month. The Prime Minister and Chancellor have already been warning that the public isn’t going to like what’s in it. But how will the Budget affect people? Will Labour break its manifesto commitment not to tax working people? And is it really true that things have to get worse before they get better?

Kate Andrews is joined by Paul Mason, journalist at The New European.

Produced by Megan McElroy.
