## Resource

Rachel Reeves has vowed to support “those who need it most” if energy bills surge amid the Iran war - but is she already “boxed in”? In this week’s Talking Politics , Tom and Robert break down the Chancellor’s options and why Rachel Reeves is determined not to repeat the mistakes of Liz Truss. Could this spiral into a crisis on the scale of 2008? Robert gives his predictions for the long-term economic fallout of the conflict. Plus: why large bets placed just before Donald Trump’s peace talks announcement on Monday have triggered accusations of insider trading.
