25/06/2010 | Fair Budget? | Welfare Cuts
Was this week's British Budget a fair one and are welfare cuts achievable?
Britain's new Chancellor takes an axe to public spending and tells the public they'll all have to share the pain of the squeeze, but has he managed to be fair to all? Cuts in welfare are part of the deal, but can this Government achieve the reforms that have eluded its predecessors?
Will the unions deliver on their promise of strikes to halt the cuts, or will their members find the prospect too expensive. And another scandal in the Cabinet: what does it feel like to be in the eye of a media storm? Presented by Edward Stourton.
