Paul Johnson Follow the Money

The Director of the highly-respected Institute for Fiscal Studies aims to hold Government to account - without which politicians will get away with half-truths, elisions and dubious claims. He'll examine the £1 trillion it costs to run the UK's economy, and explain where that money comes from and where it goes to, how that has changed and how it needs to change. He'll look at what happened during the austerity years, how the government tackled the economy during Covid, and analyse prospects for our future as we grapple with looming recession and the cost of living crisis.
