Analysis: A Budget for the history books

How will the first Budget by a female chancellor and the first
from a Labour government since 2010 be remembered? Nick is joined
by Stephanie Flanders, head of economics and politics at
Bloomberg, and Professor Tim Leunig from the London School of
Economics, who advised two Conservative chancellors. Together
they dig deeper into the Budget following Nick’s interview with
Rachel Reeves on the Today programme. Plus Amol takes a break
from half term childcare to give us his reflections. The Today
Podcast comes out once a week. It’s hosted by Amol Rajan and Nick
Robinson who are both presenters of BBC Radio 4’s Today
programme. Amol was the BBC’s media editor for six years and is
the former editor of the Independent, he’s also the current
presenter of University Challenge. Nick has presented the Today
programme since 2015, he was the BBC’s political editor for ten
years before that and also previously worked as ITV’s political
