Jeremy Hunt’s Make-or-Break UK Budget | In the City

What is Jeremy Hunt’s plan for the UK budget this week? Where are tax and spending plans heading? Will any version of the budget make a dent in the Labour Party’s lead in the polls?

UK government reporter Joe Mayes, creator of the UK budget game (), joins this week’s In the City to explore those questions and outline what options he believes the Chancellor of the Exchequer has available to him.

Hosts Francine Lacqua, Allegra Stratton and Bloomberg Opinion columnist Adrian Wooldridge also ask about the Conservative Party’s attitude toward its election chances and what we might expect to see from a Labour budget should the party come to power in the next election.

Is London having another moment? Shaken by Brexit, decimated by the pandemic, threatened by new ways of working and a worsening cost-of-living crisis, the city remains Europe’s (and arguably the world’s) beating heart for finance and for culture. In the wake of turmoil, The City of London is reinventing itself. Every week on In The City, Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua and David Merritt go behind the scenes in the Square Mile and the wider metropolis, uncovering the stories and speaking to the people that matter.
