Do Labor or the Tories have the plan that Britain’s finances need? This is the Money podcast

It’s manifesto week and Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems have set out their vision for the country – along with the Green Party, Reform and others.

The economy, taxes and public finances are the cornerstone of all manifestos, but what do the main parties propose and what could this mean for you?

On this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Angharad Carrick and Simon Lambert dive deep into the manifestos to see what it says.

If the country votes for change and we get the widely predicted Labor government, what will that mean for your money – and does talking about growth mean there is an actual plan to deliver it?

After fourteen years in power, were the Tories bold enough in their manifesto to derail Labour’s power grab?

And do the Lib Dems have the policies that could shake things up, including a plan to substantially overhaul capital gains tax?

And what did Reform say?

All this and more is examined, along with a look at what has really happened to our taxes in a decade and a half under the Conservatives.

And finally, outside of the election, how much did the most sought-after new £5 King Charles note fetch at a special auction this week?
