Description

This week, we learnt that there was no black hole in the UK finances all along. We discuss Rachel Reeves and her doom and gloom pre-budget speech, the controversies that have followed and the stoochie caused by the Office for Budget Responsibility having already told the chancellor that she had some money in the kitty after all. The resignation of the head bummer of the OBR and calls for the resignation of the Chancellor.

We discuss all things Saint Andrew’s Day, planning nightmares in the Highlands over wind farm expansion.
That and Barclays Hamden Stadium, whether anybody will ever call it that, and does it matter?
