NIMBY or YIMBY? Housing Policy and IFS's Fiscal Bind

With conference season nearly winding down, attention in Westminster is turning to the big event of the autumn: the fiscal statement. The Institute of Fiscal Studies is looking ahead to what Chancellor Jeremy Hunt might do, it warns Britain is in a “horrible fiscal bind”. Our Economy reporter Tom Rees joins to explain why.

Labour's flagship policy response: build more houses and overrule people saying 'Not In My Back Yard' (NIMBY). Former Bank of England Economist Kate Barker led a review into housing supply 20 years ago. She talks to us about her view on Keir Starmer's plans and how much economic growth they really can achieve. Hosted by Lizzy Burden and Caroline Hepker.
