Show Notes

It has been a tricky couple of days for the chancellor. But how much trouble is Rachel Reeves really in and how much attention should people be paying to the markets? Politico’s Esther Webber joins the podcast team to look at the challenges facing the chancellor.

 

The prime minister tried to inject some optimism into the government’s week with a big announcement on AI, but do his plans compute? 

 

And what does the resignation of Tulip Siddiq reveal about how this government understands the way people view ministerial behaviour?

 

PLUS: How big is the civil service? How happy is the civil service? How well does the civil service actually do what it's meant to do? A new IfG report reveals EVERYTHING you need to know.

 

Presented by Hannah White.

 

With Tim Durrant, Giles Wilkes and Jack Worlidge 

 

Produced by Candice McKenzie
