Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy debrief on Rachel Reeves’ spring statement – with the added twist of Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on all imported cars.
The chancellor has planned to get her fiscal headroom back to 拢9.9bn with warnings that her buffer looks too small against global events – and, right on cue, the US president has upped his trade war.
So is the economy stuck in a 芦doom loop禄 or is there a narrative that things could still 芦go okay禄 for Labour?
Sam and Anne also discuss the re-emerging rumour that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is on the lookout for a senior economics adviser – and if the Labour rebellion gets bigger and louder with those harsher welfare cuts.
