On this week's episode Joe and Marie are looking back at the budget with the Financial Times' Miranda Green. Also on the table are Angela Merkel's announcement that she'll step down as leader of the CDU, injunctions and parliamentary privilege, the new Brexit 50p coin, and whether you're happy to see trick or treaters. We're also joined by Sarbjit Bakhshi from Smarkets to look at next week's Midterm elections in the United States.
