Inside the Manifestos

This week on the podcast that explains the way that government works (and why it often doesn’t)...

The IfG team are joined by New Statesman political editor Stephen Bush to make sense of the party manifestos. Do all the spending pledges add up? And does it matter if they don’t?

There’s a bit of Brexit in there too – but what are the EU up to while UK politicians are busy knocking on doors?

We also speak to Full Fact boss Will Moy about calling out politicians who don’t tell the truth.

Plus: What does Breakfast at Tiffany’s have in common with the Labour manifesto?

Hosted by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon and Giles Wilkes plus Stephen Bush, Georgina Wright and Gavin Freeguard. Audio production by Alex Rees.
