Summary
In this bonus episode of In the City, David Merritt and Francine Lacqua unpack the government's humiliating reversal on its signature tax cut. Bloomberg's Managing Editor for European Economy and Government Ben Sills joins to hammer home that this is still a prime minister who's struggling to regain credibility and questions about her leadership chops are not going away. Plus, former Bank of England policy maker Andrew Sentance says the new government thinks it has a "magic wand" to create economic growth in the short-term but "that's just not realistic."
