About this episode
Today, we speak to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the day after she announced her public spending audit and blamed the Conservatives for a ‘black hole’ in public finances.
Adam and Chris join Chancellor Reeves in the Treasury to hear about the conversations she had with officials the day after the election and whether it’s fair to accuse Shadow Chancellor Jeremy Hunt of a ‘cover up’.
And, Adam is joined by BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay to talk about his reporting from Southport, where a community mourns 3 young girls who have died following a knife attack on Monday.
