Description

With less than a week before the UK budget, is Chancellor Reeves playing fiscal chess? The team discuss the upcoming budget, and what it might mean for Scotland in terms of spending, cuts, and taxation, and if we can expect any "rabbits out the hat". Also, Scottish and UK politicians find themselves in an international row after Donald Trump accuses Labour of "foreign interference" following the news of Labour activists campaigning for the Harris-Waltz camp in the United States, and an anecdote on accidentally doorstepping a candidate in a bathroom as the Tory leadership contest continues.
