Budget briefing
About the event
Join us for a panel event on Thursday 7th March, as we dissect the policies and politics of the Spring Budget and the implications it will have.
With every week that passes, we get closer to a General Election.
The twists and turns of the campaign will remain utterly unpredictable, but we know the economy will be a determining factor in who ultimately gets the keys to 10 Downing Street.
That's what makes understanding Jeremy Hunt’s final Budget on 6th March - and its aftereffects – compulsory viewing.
We will explore:
- Will the Budget help with the cost of living crisis?
- Will the Chancellor be able to keep his rebellious backbenchers on side?
- How will Labour respond to a series of economic boobytraps?
-
Will any of this stop Starmer’s slow march to power?
