Polanski v Farage: Is the political centre in Britain dead? - The Fourcast
Description
As Rachel Reeves prepares to deliver the budget on Wednesday, she faces the political nightmare of having to come back for more tax, having said she wouldn't and she's already made it clear that whatever she does the burden will fall on all of us, not just the rich minority - but the left and the Greens are demanding a wealth tax, while the right and Reform are demanding welfare cuts and tax cuts.
Voters are disillusioned, inflation is stubborn, services are still struggling and faith in the political centre is evaporating.
So how does the chancellor land her budget without causing a political crisis for Labour or a financial crisis on the bond markets?
On this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan-Guru-Murthy was joined by Green Party leader Zack Polanski, Labour MP Rosie Wrighting, one of the new intake last year, and Rupert Harrison, a former advisor to George Osborne in the treasury and now at the US investment managers PIMCO.
