MPs packed the benches in Westminster this week as Chancellor Rishi Sunak delivered his Budget and Spending Review. Anne McElvoy and guests discuss the outlook for the UK economy and the politics behind Mr Sunak's big decisions. We hear why some millionaires are clamouring to pay more tax. On the eve of the COP 26 summit in Glasgow, how do voters view the climate emergency and are they ready to change their behaviour to meet tough net zero emissions targets? And - socks and sliders, dogs on sofas - we discuss the power of a picture for up and coming politicians.
