Description
With just under two weeks to go until Labour’s first budget in 15 years, the knives are out with cabinet members complaining to No 10 about cuts to their departments.  Should they just accept collective responsibility and keep their heads down? And could Labour be about to break their manifesto pledge if they increase National Insurance contributions for businesses?  Later, Beth, Ruth and Harriet examine why the Conservative Party leadership candidates have such different approaches to the media. Which outlets are important in 2024? And is that reflected in the US election?  Email us at [email protected], post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444.   Click here to listen to the Disorder podcast: https://podfollow.com/disorder
