ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The budget is at last upon us, and political masterminds Peter Mandelson, Polly Mackenzie and Daniel Finkelstein join Hugo Rifkind to discuss how to manage such a crucial political and economic event.
They also discuss the perils of political rallies, where Labour's obsession with 'working people' comes from, and why liberals love Diet Coke.
