And so what we want to talk to her about is what should matched

the Chancellor do in this forthcoming budget? matched

The Rest Is Money · 311. Why is the US debt crisis a big problem for Burnham? · 6 Sep 2026 podcast

And we're gonna break this down into two parts. matched

We're gonna look at the growing fears that we are heading for a genuine financial crash globally. matched

All of this stuff feeds through to the cost of living, all of it fleeds fleeds feeds through to um pressure on matched

inflation. matched
