Budget review - going for growth?

We take a look at Wednesday’s budget. Rachel Reeves’ 2nd as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Will there be a 3rd? | Who are the winners? | Who the losers? Was it bold or timid? | Does the leaking or ‘testing’ of policy ahead of the budget create more uncertainty? | Will the measures announced help with cost of living, reduce burden for small businesses and pay for services? | Will the Chancellor fill the gaps in local government funding?

Which policy changes are you celebrating? | What are the changes the Chancellor could have made, but didn't?

You can watch the budget in full on the Parliament's Youtube channel.
