One week on from the general election, this special episode of Accountancy Insights discusses the policies of the new UK government.
The Labour Party has taken power with a sweeping victory not seen since 1997. Now, it faces the same challenge that successive governments have struggled to tackle: kickstarting the UK economy. With little room for manoeuvre in the public finances, can anything move the dial when it comes to boosting growth?
Guest host Iain Wright is joined by Frances Haque, Chief Economist at Santander UK, and David Williamson, Political Editor at the Sunday Express.
