as posted by the channel

As I reflected on that now infamous image of our Chancellor of the Exchequer weeping in the House of Commons this week, I thought I better have an economist on the channel to give some sense of just how big a mess she has created. Liam Halligan doesn't hold back; predicting that the path charted for this country by Labour could result in a bigger economic crisis than the 1970s, even accelerating the historic shift in economic strength from West to East that has been the story of our lifetimes.

We also discussed what both of us regard as the opening shot in the coming battle between Reform UK and the Blob: namely the refusal of the Chief Executive of Warwickshire County Council to obey an instruction from the Reform council leader to remove a Pride flag from the council building. Enjoy the episode!
