In this episode, Anthony Cheung and Piers Curran break down Burnham's first economic policies, why rising gilt yields matter far more than political headlines, and what investors should really be watching ahead of the Autumn Budget. They revisit the Liz Truss crisis to explain how bond markets forced a government into retreat, why today's starting point may be even more challenging, and whether Burnham's regional growth agenda can survive higher borrowing costs. Along the way they explain bond vigilantes, the importance of the Chancellor, why markets care about fiscal credibility, and the sectors that could emerge as winners and losers from the new government's plans. Whether you're investing, preparing for finance interviews, or simply trying to understand how politics moves markets, this episode explains the mechanics behind one of the biggest stories in the UK economy.
