Analysis: A Budget for the history books

Nick digs deeper into the Budget following his interview with Rachel Reeves and looks at the impact it could have for years to come.

How will the first Budget by a female chancellor and the first from a Labour government since 2010 be remembered? Nick is joined by Stephanie Flanders, head of economics and politics at Bloomberg, and Professor Tim Leunig from the London School of Economics, who advised two Conservative chancellors.

Together they dig deeper into the Budget following Nick鈥檚 interview with Rachel Reeves on the Today programme. Plus Amol takes a break from half term childcare to give us his reflections.
