Philip Hammond claimed his Budget meant austerity was coming to an end.
There was more money for the NHS, defence and to help ease the roll out of the universal credit.
And sprinkled on top of the spending spree was a new round of income tax cuts.
But how generous was the Chancellor?
And does his boast about ending austerity stack up?
In the latest Ayes to the Left podcast the Mirror’s Kevin Maguire, Jason Beattie and Dan Bloom deliver their verdict on Budget.
They go through the small print to find out who are the winners and losers and explain why the spending squeeze is going to continue for years to come.
They also look at Labour’s response and discuss how John McDonnell may have made a strategic blunder in refusing to reverse the tax cuts which overwhelmingly benefit the very richest at the expense of the poorest. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
