The shadow chancellor鈥檚 American dream

Economics Editor Faisal Islam is in the hot seat. Labour鈥檚 Rachel Reeves has been in New York and Washington to talk about how one of the US administration鈥檚 flagship policies has inspired her own economic vision. America鈥檚 Inflation Reduction Act will boost the green economy and provide huge subsidies to consumers who buy American-made products. How might a similar scheme work in the UK?

He also gets chancellor Jeremy Hunt鈥檚 thoughts.
