Rachel Reeves has told the House of Commons in her first major speech as Chancellor that the Conservatives covered up the full extent of the UK’s budget deficit and that since taking office, Labour has discovered a £22 billion black hole in the nation’s finances. She says some unfunded projects will be scrapped altogether, including a road tunnel under Stonehenge; while millions of pensioners will miss out on winter fuel payments which are to become means tested.
Teachers and NHS workers are to receive a 5.5% pay rise; prison and police officer will get an uplift too, while junior doctors have been offered a backdated 22% increase which is – according to Reeves’ predecessor Jeremy Hunt – one of the reasons for the budget gap that she has discovered.
Is Reeves paving the way for prosperity? Or austerity? Adrian Goldberg hears from Dr Lydia Prieg, Head of Economics at the New Economics Foundation; and Pranesh Narayanan, a research fellow at the IPPR think tank.

After the first round of voting in the parliamentary poll the clear winner with 33% of the votes was Marine Le Pen’s far right RN Party. They are the successor to the Front Nationale created by Jean Marie Le Pen, Marine’s Dad who famously declared that the holocaust was a 'detail' of history.
The RN were hoping to install their candidate Jordan Bardella as prime Minister, but ahead of the second round of voting more than 200 opposition candidates have quit allowing for an anti RN coalition.

In the EU elections, voters in France, Germany and Italy have shown an increasing appetite for populist anti-immigrant parties. The French president Emmanuelle Macron has reacted by calling a snap parliamentary election after his party was beaten into second place in the EU poll by Marine le Pen’s National Rally.
In Germany, the Social Democrats, the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz were pushed into third place by the nationalist AfD. The result still leaves the EU parliament dominated by traditional centre right and centre left parties but for how long will that remain the case? And what do these results tells us more broadly about the appeal of the far right in Europe.
