Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode
the utterly baffling world of political language.

This week, as Rachel Reeves delivers the first Labour budget in
15 years, we’re talking about ‘tough decisions'.

What’s a tough decision? Why is language around budgets so
slippery? And why doesn’t anyone drink at the dispatch box
anymore?

A longer version, where Armando recalls making The Thick of It
during austerity, and discuss whether Ed Miliband was really
’toss enough’ is available on BBC Sounds.

This episode has been edited to remove an inaccurate statement
about the relative size of tax fraud compared to benefit fraud.
