Rachel Reeves has had quite the week.
On Wednesday, the chancellor delivered her much-anticipated Budget to MPs.
While some measures were announced in the days prior, the majority were revealed 40 minutes before she was due to speak due to the mistaken (and dramatic) publication of the budgetary watchdog’s forecast.
There was plenty to unpack – and we’ll be bringing you a reminder of the key changes shortly.
In the days since, the chancellor has faced much media scrutiny, including questions over whether she misled the public over the state of the nation’s finances ahead of the Budget (which No 10 denies).
Today, Reeves will face questions from the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg – follow live at the top of this page from 09:00 GMT.
We’ll also be hearing from Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch, who called the Budget a “smorgasbord of misery” on Wednesday.
Separately, model David Gandy be peaking to Laura about his views on toxic masculinity.
Stay with us for the updates and analysis on all of this and more.
