Electioncast: Taxation Trilemmas

Overview

Today, we look at the Conservative Party’s internal betting inquiry and whether the main parties have “ducked” addressing stark choices over public finances. Adam, Chris and Alex chat about the accusation by the Institute for Fiscal Studies that the Conservatives and Labour are engaging in a “conspiracy of silence” over the state of public finances. Also, Rishi Sunak says the Conservative Party is carrying out internal inquiries “in parallel” with the gambling commission. And BBC Ireland correspondent Sara Girvin speaks to us from Northern Ireland about how the Cost of Living and Brexit are impacting voting.
