Today we look at Labour’s first Budget in 14 years.

Adam and Chris are joined by BBC economics editor Faisal Islam and BBC chief economics correspondent Dharshini David. They look at all the headlines from the Budget and analyse the political reaction.

The government outlined a historic tax increase of £40 billion, including an increase in National Insurance contributions for employers from April. Rachel Reeves also set out plans to continue the freeze on fuel duty and a £22.6bn increase in the "day-to-day health budget" for the NHS.
