About this episode

The episode discusses the Budget Day reactions and the political atmosphere surrounding it.

It's Budget Day - but is there anything left that hasn't already been leaked? With Nigel soaking up the atmosphere around Westminster and Sarah cheering on the latest farmers' protest, we discuss how the Budget speech went, and whether it is enough to quell opposition on the Labour benches. We also review Kemi Badenoch's response in the chamber, in which she introduced another breakfast cereal reference to compete with Sarah's frequently-mentioned Coco-Pops. Will it soon be Cheerio, Chancellor? Presented by Nigel Fletcher and Sarah Southern Produced by the Centre for Opposition Studies Theme Music by Tom Hector
