  • Summary

  • Whether you voted Labour or not, with any new government, there is a sense of optimism. Things can only get better… apparently.

    But within days, Rachel Reeves and co poured cold water over all that - and the gloom and doom about the economy and what then could be (and crucially not be) in the Budget hasn’t stopped.

    Well Simon Lambert is fed up. So he has put forward an alternative budget with less than two weeks to go. Do you agree with him? And what would you do?

    Alongside Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce, the trio talk about budget pessimism. Did it need to be this way?

    There has been plenty of speculation that NI paid by employers will rise and they may even have to pay NI on pension contributions. What does that mean?

    This week, CPI fell below the Bank of England's 2 per cent target in September, reaching its lowest point in three years. What does that mean for interest rates?

    More major lenders have put mortgage rates up - where next for home loan deals... and just what is Sonia, if not an Eastenders character or 80s pop star?

    And lastly, there has been plenty of pre-budget speculation about inheritance tax. But what about the here and now... can you really get caught out by taking your extended family on an annual holiday?
