The Chancellor Ritchie Sunak faced harsh criticism this week for the non-dom tax

haters of his wife as the UK's cost of living crunch hit home.

A Chancellor who says to the British public that he will tax them, he's introduced 15 tax

rises.

And he says all of this is necessary, there's no option.

If it now transpires that his wife has been using schemes to reduce her own tax, then

I'm afraid that is breathtaking hypocrisy.

Welcome to Payne's Politics, your insider guide to what's happening in British politics

from the Financial Times, with me Sebastian Payne.

In this week's episode, we'll be delving into two messes the government has got itself

into.

The tax affairs of Ritchie Sunak's wife, which you heard Labour leaders secure summer

criticise at the beginning and the long-awaited energy security strategy.

We're the Chancellor's spouse before us to give up her non-dom status and why did

boys Johnson shy away from tough new targets for onshore wind farms.

Associate editor and columnist Stephen Busch will dissect along with our energy correspondent

Natalie Thomas.

And later we'll be looking at the decision to privatise Channel 4.

We'll be exploring what this tells us about the government's so-called culture wars

and whether it's about ideology or pragmatism.

Associate editor Alex Barker will discuss with the FT's Assistant Editor, Janine Gibson.

Thank you all for joining.
