The Political Party

Show 295 - *Rachel Reeves LIVE*

The Shadow Chancellor is on rollicking form in this hilarious, lively and impassioned interview. Rachel is steeped in economics, having worked for the Bank of England (at the same time Matt Hancock, more on that later). She sets out the dividing lines between herself and the Tories and explains the different decisions Labour would take if they win the next election. Rachel has only been Shadow Chancellor for a year and a half but in that time she has helped salvage Labour's economic credibility. She's also faced 4 Chancellors this year alone and gives us the inside story on how she prepares for each 'fiscal statement'. This is great fun with a politician at the top of their game.  Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre here: <a href="https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/</a>Forthcoming guests include:19 Dec: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: Yvette Cooper, Emily Thornberry and music from MP423 Jan: Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel20 Feb: Keir Starmer6 March: Eddie Izzard Plus more to be announced!  Follow @mattforde on Twitter for the latest news Hosted on Acast.
