In this episode of Chopper’s Political Podcast, Christopher Hope breaks down the Chancellor’s latest Budget and examines why Labour is already facing serious political pressures in its aftermath. With bond markets reacting, thresholds frozen, and internal unease simmering, the discussion explores the challenges confronting Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves as they attempt to steady both their party and the public finances.

Labour MP for Glasgow South, Gordon McKee, joins the podcast following his unexpectedly viral moment in which he used custard creams and bourbons to explain the UK’s debt-to-GDP ratio.
