Armando Iannucci, Stewart Lee and Natalie Haynes decode the world of political language.

It's budget week, Armando is joined by two members of the Strong
Message Here commune, Natalie Haynes and Stewart Lee.

How do markets get 'spooked'? Who has the broadest shoulders? And
what does 'a Labour Budget with Labour values' actually mean?

We discuss how taxes get their nicknames, why we know so much
about the budget ahead of time these days, and whether Rachel
Reeves could've taken inspiration from Taylor Swift to make the
budget more exciting.

In the longer edition, we also look at 'the banter defence', and
decide a new name for 'the markets' that feels more apt for the
way they behave.
