Show Notes

The Chancellor has presented her first highly-anticipated Spring Statement to parliament. More extensive changes were made than expected, after Rachel Reeves' plans were blown off course by lower growth and higher government borrowing costs. Helena Wadia speaks to the London Standard’s Chief Political Correspondent, Rachael Burford, about defence spending, welfare cuts, and Sabrina Carpenter tickets.

In part two, H&M have announced they are creating AI model ‘twins’ - digital replicas of models to use for marketing campaigns. This comes despite acknowledging they don’t know the full impact of their approach. We sit down with London model, artist and writer Julia Campbell-Gillies to discuss the potential consequences on the wider fashion photography industry.
