Today, John Healey delivered his first major speech as chancellor, aiming to boost confidence in the economy with a positive message. He set out his intentions for growth, investment, and more jobs.
However, midway through his speech, Jaguar Land Rover announced thousands of job cuts after facing competition from China and falling behind in the electric vehicle race.
Economics editor Faisal Islam and business editor Simon Jack discuss the implications for the country, delving into Healey’s new "Make Great Britain Growth Britain Again" message.
They also cover the weekend of anti-migration protests, including incidents in Dover and Portsmouth. UK correspondent Daniel Sandford provides context.
