Grim readings from the Treasury's half year economic and fiscal update.

The government's books will stay in the red until at least 2029, a year later than previously predicted. Although the government says it will aim to return to surplus a year earlier.

Labour's Finance Spokesperson Barbara Edmonds has pushed back.
