What listeners will find here
Budget strain, youth anxiety, and a bleak turn in politics
This episode ranges from Irish budget discipline and tax policy to youth mental health, inheritance tax, and US politics. Chris and Jim clash over whether government spending is too loose, then widen the lens to inflation, inequality, and the social pressures shaping younger generations.
Budget 27 under the microscope: balance, business pressure, and spending discipline
Budget 27 is the focus of this panel conversation, from capital investment and tax relief to the strain facing SMEs. The discussion weighs the government’s case for balance against warnings on corporation tax dependence, labour costs, and the need for simpler, more effective policy delivery.
A rapid first take on the Irish budget
The Irish budget is the focus of this special episode, offering an immediate reaction to the announcement. It looks suited to listeners who want a quick, timely take rather than a deep-dive breakdown.
Ireland’s budget math gets real as simple stories collide with fiscal complexity
Ireland’s budget outlook is the focus here, with strong headline surpluses alongside growing concern about how dependent the state is on corporation tax. The episode weighs political pressure, housing anxiety, and the wider habit of choosing neat narratives over messy reality.
Jobs, wages and debt pressure collide in a wide-ranging market reality check
US jobs, falling real wages and sticky inflation set the tone for an episode about why markets and households may be heading into a tougher phase. Chris and Jim connect rate expectations, bond stress, fiscal strains and political risk across the US, Europe, the UK and Ireland.
