Is this the budget we were promised by Labour? And where will the fallout be for the government in the days and weeks to come?

On the day after the first Labour budget in nearly 15 years - and the first ever delivered by a woman - Beth, Ruth and Harriet unpick the numbers and explain why the critics are so upset.

They also lift the lid on budget week in Westminster - how do cabinet ministers find out how much money their departments are getting? And how does the leader of the opposition prepare their response?

Later, Ruth finally reveals who she's voted for in the Tory leadership race. Email us at [email protected], post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444
