Hello and welcome to Inside Briefing, the podcast from the Institute for Government. I'm Hannah White.

So one day, Kirstama is getting a kicking for attending a Taylor Swift concert the next night he is kicking

back to an exclusive Elton John gig. He may be more reset man than Rocket Man, but the Prime

Minister is very much still standing after a dramatic shake-up of his number 10, an abrupt end to

the short-lived Sue Gray era and an attempt to get the government back to governing.

And this week has been all about the launch of Invest 2035. What's that? I hear some of you ask.

Well, we're going to tell you all about what the big government day at the Guildhall was all about.

The glitz and the glamour was designed to provide some soothing mood music ahead of the budget,

which is now just weeks away.

The rows over tax rises and debt rules are intensifying, so what can the government really do?

We will take a look.

And then we'll turn to part of the parliamentary process, which is a little arcane, to say the least,

but can end up with a big impact. And that's private

members bills. And there's some high-profile ones of those, including on assisted dying,

which have been introduced into Parliament this week. Joining me throughout are two of the

IFG's top economics brains, and that's senior fellow Giles Wilkes and Deputy Chief Economist,

Tom Pope. Hello, both.

Hi, Hannah.

Hi, Anna.

And I'm delighted that the Guardian's city editor, Anna, Isaac, is with us too.

Hi, Anna.

Hello.
