Show Notes
And so to John Healey's Budget which went... pretty well as predicted.
Horses were not scared, rabbits were not pulled from hats and Healey was, well, pretty dogged.
Alex and Kenny are joined by economist extraordinaire Vicky Pryce to look at the headlines but also to dive beneath the surface of a Budget that was big on the volume of announcements if not surprise.
PLUS ... that Liz Truss book. HOW much of a stinker is it? As we're doing rabbits, we may as well do lettuces too.
