117 days after Labour took office, Rachel Reeves has finally delivered her Budget.
From tax rises and fiscal rules, to public services and investment, we'll take a tour around all of the big announcements.
Paul is joined by Helen Miller and Ben Zaranko, colleagues at the IFS.
Zooming In: discussion questions
Every week, we share a set of questions designed for A Level economics students to discuss, written by teacher Will Haines.
1. Why may tax revenue not rise by the £40bn outlined in the Budget scorecard?
2. Assess the potential economic impact of the 1% rise in National Insurance for employers.
3. Outline the economic opportunities and risks of increasing expenditure in the short term.
