Hunt’s Budget - will it make a difference?

Has Jeremy Hunt done enough with his Budget to change the
political and economic weather?


Amol and Nick assess the politics of the Chancellor’s speech –
possibly his last major intervention before a general election.


And they’re joined by Andy Haldane, a former chief economist at
the Bank of England and now chief executive of the Royal Society
of Arts, to look at what difference the economic measures will
make.
