YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSir Keir Starmer has rejected claims his Government lied to the public over the state of the nation's finances in the run up to Rachel Reeves' autumn Budget.
Speaking today, the PM threw his support behind his Chancellor, hailing the autumn Budget as something his Government should be "proud" of - pointing to a cut in energy bills and the removal of the two-child benefit cap.
The Chancellor has faced calls to resign over what she told the public and markets about the state of the economy before the autumn Budget.
She now faces a growing row over pre-Budget speculation that she faced as much as a £20 billion gap in meeting her fiscal rules, partly as a result of a downgrade in productivity forecasts.
But what's the full story? Emily Maitlis sits down with Shelagh Fogarty to get to the bottom of this turbulent week in British politics.
