Will Labour raise taxes?

What can new Chancellor Rachel Reeves do to minimise the UK's economic black hole?

Rachel Reeves' first statement as the new Chancellor has kicked off a huge political row. She accused her predecessor Jeremy Hunt of lying about the 'true state' of the UK's finances - and he hit back calling her ‘shameless’. So was there actually a ‘cover up’ by the previous government? And the big question: Does this mean higher taxes?

Host: Luke Jones.

Guest: Mehreen Khan, Economics Editor, The Times.
