In this episode of Talking Politics, Tom Bradby is joined by Anushka Asthana (briefly) and Robert Peston for the duration to discuss:
– The “fiction” at the heart of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement
– Why Robert and Anushka have now both upset the Treasury
– The future challenges the UK faces in the era of Donald Trump and his tariff wars
– Why Robert is recoiling at the potential concessions the UK is making in trade talks in Washington
– And whether MPs – even the "mediocre" ones! – deserve their above inflation 2.8% pay rise
