Right, it's Tuesday, so City AM is back
0:02
on the streets. Taking a look at the
0:03
front page today, our politics and
0:06
economics reporter, Maritzio, has spoken
0:08
to people that used to run the OBR and
0:10
some very senior economists, some of
0:12
whom have asked to remain anonymous, uh,
0:15
who are getting a bit frustrated with
0:16
the lengths the chancellor is going to
0:18
to sort of blame the OBR and their
0:20
forecasting practices for the budget
0:23
nightmare that she is now facing. Uh and
0:25
in our story today, which is on page one
0:27
and continues on the inside, uh these
0:29
OBR bigwigs are saying that's not really
0:31
acceptable. She knew the situation. None
0:33
of this should have been a surprise. Uh
0:35
so that's a really interesting story. Uh
0:37
underneath which we put in late last
0:39
night news that ministers are inching
0:41
one step closer to giving the green
0:43
light to the third runway at Heathrow.
0:46
uh and they prefer the option that costs
0:48
50 billion quid and goes over the M25 to
0:51
the option that costs about 30 billion
0:53
quid and doesn't. So there's going to be
0:55
another row about that. All of those
0:57
stories and more of course online
