Our Latest Podcast

On Wednesday, 26 March, the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, delivered her Spring Statement. What she originally hoped would be a low-key statement has taken on much greater significance as downgrades to economic forecasts test the Government’s ‘non-negotiable’ fiscal rules.

In this podcast, our experts discuss the decisions the Chancellor has made in her Spring Statement delivery and consider the implications these choices will have for businesses – covering its impacts on the Government’s growth and public service ambitions, and what it could mean for the forthcoming Industrial Strategy and Spending Review.  

Flint Partner Jon Sell will host a discussion on the economic and political implications of the Spring Statement between:    

• Flint Special Partner and former Permanent Secretary, Dame Sue Owen  
• Flint Specialist Partner and former senior executive at the UK’s Office for Budget Responsibility,  Andy King
• Flint Specialist Partner and former adviser to the Chancellor, Ian Corfield.
