About this episode
If the polls are right, Rachel Reeves could be the next chancellor. But after a Budget that confirmed money is tight (and stole some of her flagship ideas), what will she be able to do in office? Matt speaks to former advisers to Keir Starmer and Alistair Darling, and Times Radio's Patrick Maguire.
Plus: Columnists Manveen Rana and Matthew Parris discuss what the Budget means for the Tories, how much trouble Science Secretary Michelle Donelan is in, and how far is too far when it comes to running with your dog
