The morning after the Chancellor laid out his plans for continued pandemic support and how to pay for it in the years to come, Christopher Hope is joined for a Budget special by the Telegraph's Deputy Political Editor Lucy Fisher and economics fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Julian Jessop, to discuss the ins and outs.

Who fares the best from the announcements, what will Britain's post-pandemic recovery look like, and is this the final nail in the coffin for Thatcherite economics? All discussed within.

Speaking freely about free speech

Michelle Donelan, Universities Minister, joins Christopher Hope to talk about whether students are getting value for money at the moment and how remote learning could make higher education more accessible. Plus the thorny issue of cancel culture on campuses and why she insists it's not about protecting conservative values, but the British value of free speech.

Also on the podcast, Sir Stephen Bubb, Director of the Oxford Institute for Charity, amuses Chris by calling him "woke", and has some strong words for Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, following the Minister's charity summit this week. And political commentator and former MEP Patrick O'Flynn tells us why he's feeling micromanaged by the Prime Minister.
