Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
In the final week before the October 28 UK Budget, September inflation came in at 3.5%, September borrowing reached about £25 billion, and public debt passed £3 trillion. The episode separates confirmed facts from briefed reports, including a reported bank surcharge rise from 3% to 8% and Chancellor Healey's October 20 decision ruling out a capital gains tax hike.
