After the endless speculation, the Budget finally arrived this week.

Rachel Reeves seemed happy with her statement and Sir Keir Starmer has been out singing its praises, but was the Budget a diamond in the rough or a dud?

On this Budget 2025 podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert dive into a Budget that many have commented is the most chaotic they can remember.

After all the rumours, worries and waiting, how good or bad was it?

Some of the expected financial pain didn’t arrive but there were plenty of tweaks to tax our pocket and our patience.

Did the Chancellor cut the right balance between getting more money in and supporting the economy, did she articulate a clear plan, or are we back to drifting about aimlessly in the tax and spending doom loop doldrums?

And most importantly, what will all the measures mean for your money?
