Fiscal Space Exploration: The OECD's Take On the UK Economy And Deputy PMQs

The OECD warns the government won't have much money to spend on tax cuts before the next election, citing "little fiscal space" for giveaways. Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden prefers to focus on the upgrade to the UK's growth forecast, from recession to anaemic expansion this year. He stands in for Rishi Sunak at this week's Prime Minister's Questions, facing off against Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner. They trade barbs over the Covid inquiry and education policy. Plus: we get the view of the UK economy from Karen Ward of JP Morgan Asset Management, who's also on the Chancellor's council of economic advisers. Hosted by Lizzy Burden and Stephen Carroll.
