UK fiscal challenges, ESG implementation for business & exploring the role of the US Vice President

In the UK this week Chancellor Rachel Reeves set out a series of “incredibly tough choices” to fill in a £22bn fiscal hole she’s found since taking office. George Parker, Political Editor for the Financial Times joins Mandy to discuss what it will look like for the Government and the people of the UK. How committed is business to pursuing the green agenda? Peter Stapleton of Greenscene and Raquel Noboa, CEO of Fifty Shades Greener join Mandy to discuss. And, it was once described as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived, or his imagination conceived”, yet Vice Presidents have also been integral to some of the most consequential chapters in U.S. history. Joel Goldstein, author of The White House Vice Presidency: The Path to Significance, Mondale to Biden joins Mandy to explore the origins and purpose of the office.
