The UK government’s borrowing has hit record levels — £99.8 billion in just six months — while inflation holds steady at 3.8%. With the Budget looming, Rachel Reeves is trying to frame the economic challenge by blaming Brexit and promising a £6 billion blitz on red tape.
In this episode, Nathan Parsad-Wyatt and Kevin unpack the numbers, the politics, and the strategy:
– Why borrowing is spiralling — and what it means for the Treasury.
– Whether Reeves’ “Brexit blame” approach can work politically.
– The real impact of the West Midlands Investment Summit.
– What the Caerphilly by-election tells us about Reform UK’s rise and Labour’s struggles.
– Is Britain heading for another age of austerity?
– Can Rachel Reeves rebuild fiscal credibility while blaming Brexit?
– Has Labour already lost the communication war to Reform UK and Nigel Farage?
