117 days after Labour took office, Rachel Reeves has finally delivered her Budget.

Paul is joined by Helen Miller and Ben Zaranko, colleagues at the IFS.

Zooming In: discussion questions

Every week, we share a set of questions designed for A Level economics students to discuss, written by teacher Will Haines.

2. Assess the potential economic impact of the 1% rise in National Insurance for employers.

3. Outline the economic opportunities and risks of increasing expenditure in the short term.
