The Story

Available for over a year

Rachel Reeves' first statement as the new Chancellor has kicked off a huge political row. She accused her predecessor Jeremy Hunt of lying about the 'true state' of the UK's finances - and he hit back calling her ‘shameless’. So was there actually a ‘cover up’ by the previous government? And the big question: Does this mean higher taxes? Host: Luke Jones. Guest: Mehreen Khan, Economics Editor, The Times. Clips: Parliament TV, Sky News, Times Radio.
