Tax cuts were the centrepiece of the Autumn Statement last week – with national insurance bills set to drop in January for 27mn UK workers – but these savings stand to be wiped out by ‘stealth taxes’. Host Claer Barrett crunches through the numbers and explores the Autumn Statement’s impact on pensions, Isas and other investments, with Katie Martin, the FT’s markets editor and co-presenter of the Unhedged podcast, Sam Fleming, the FT’s economics editor, and Rafe Uddin, the FT’s UK politics reporter.  Clips: UK Parliament TV Free links: Tell Sid all you like - but he might not buy NatWest The Autumn Statement and your money Q&A: How will the Autumn Statement affect me?
