Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng joins Tim Shipman and James Heale to discuss the challenges facing the government ahead of tomorrow’s Budget. How close is the relationship between Number 10 and Number 11? And how much influence has Andy Burnham had on the Chancellor’s plans? How are Labour MPs feeling about a Chancellor they see as short on imagination? Plus, how should the Conservatives respond to the Budget – and what does Kwarteng make of Liz Truss’s new book?
