OppositionCast 76: Pre-budget U-turns, polls and disaffection
Nov 19, 2025

Only a week to go until we (finally!) hear what is in the Budget, after weeks of speculation and even U-turns on announcements not yet made.
Nigel and Sarah have been counting down the days to Budget Eve, and discuss this week's PMQs and renewed disquiet on the Labour backbenches. Plus, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage go head-to-head with a battle of the press conferences.
We also look at the state of public opinion, with some polls showing the Greens now level-pegging with the Conservatives, and ask whether there is anything the main parties can do about the disaffection driving these trends.
