Episode overview
Today, we look at the economic election battle, with spending announcements from the Tories and Labour. Plus, Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner will face no police action in the row over her council house sale. Rishi Sunak has today launched his ‘triple lock plus’: a promise to raise the tax-free pension allowance if he wins the general election. Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that Angela Rayner will not face no further action in the row over her council house sale. Adam and Alex are joined by by chief economics correspondent Dharshini David. And Chris Mason has been to Dover to hear what Nigel Farage, honorary president of Reform UK, has been saying about small boats and the role he will play in the election campaign.
