I like big budgets and I cannot lie

Go here to get tickets for Oh God, What Now? live at the Comedy Store on Tue 10 Dec – now with special guest John Crace of The Guardian. 

Big tax rises, big ambition. Labour’s first budget since regaining power, from Britain’s first-ever female chancellor, is rocking the nation. Beyond frantic headlines in the Tory press, what’s Rachel Reeves up to? Former chief economist at the Cabinet Office Jonathan Portes joins us to explain. Plus, anger is an energy – is angertainment the real force shaping the world right now? And will Trump win the White House because of it? And in the Extra Bit for supporters: as fares go up by a quid will we witness Mutiny On The Buses?
