6af4f33d973efbd7c1de97ee6af372be43e2f445c278fed1duncan-weldons-vat-planfullDear John is a brand new podcast that's for one man only: John Healey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Each week, a top guest will pitch the Chancellor a great idea to get Britain going again. First up, it's the turn of Duncan Weldon. An economist, journalist and author of books like Two Hundred Years of Muddling Through (a history of the British economy), Duncan has devised a plan to fill the Treasury's coffers. His idea? Adding 1% to VAT for every year of a Parliament. But is VAT not, in Gordon Brown's words, the Tory tax? And wouldn't this just put more pressure on beleaguered consumers?
Dear John is a Podot podcast.
Hosted by Robert Hutton.
Created by Nick Hilton.
Additional production by Ewan Cameron and Lulu Goad.
Music by Ewan Cameron.
