“Essentially, this is a standard…” “Tax and spend!” “…Tax and spend Labour budget.” Jo Coburn and @AfNeil finish each other’s sentences as they break down the budget. Listen live: thetimes.com/radio

Remember, Labour had 14 years to prepare for government. They repeatedly demanded a general election almost every day since 2022. They presented themselves as the “grown ups”. Within 16 months, they’ve reminded the public why they were in opposition for 14 years.
