Show Notes

Does it matter if the prime minister accepts a free gift? Lots of free gifts. The House Magazine’s Sienna Rodgers joins the Inside Briefing team to explore a question that, unfortunately for Keir Starmer, is not going away. It has also emerged that Sue Gray, the PM’s chief staff, is paid more than the country’s most senior politician - and a lot, lot more than plenty of special advisers. So is Gray’s pay day a problem?

 

Talking of money, a new IfG report has set out how the government can save some - billions in fact. Its author reveals where the money can be found.

 

Plus: How to complete England’s devolution map? Another new IfG report - we’re spoiling you - has the solutions.

 

Cath Haddon presents.

 

With Tim Durrant, Ben Paxton, Akash Paun and Matthew Fright.

 

Produced by Candice McKenzie.
