Philip Hammond delivered his Spring Statement and it lasted a measly 26 minutes.The Chancellor claimed the economy had turned a corner and growth was back on track.
But do his claims stand up to scrutiny?
In this week's Ayes to the Left podcast the Mirror's Kevin Maguire, Jason Beattie and Nicola Bartlett deliver their verdict on the Chancellor's statement.
They look at what is really happening to the economy and explain how Hammond's gloss could not disguise the fact the UK is now lagging behind other major countries.
And they discuss why the Tories are still wedded to austerity despite Britain's creaking public services crying out for extra funding.
