Wake Up to Money - Reeves' headroom headache

Will Bain speaks to a former Treasury economist about the claims Chancellor Rachel Reeves misled the public over stronger OBR forecasts before her tax-raising Budget.

Also, while there was disappointment this budget didn't have much to offer in the way of economic growth, there was a glimmer of hope for tech start ups hungry for investment. We speaks to a CEO on why the future may be brighter for her sector.

And we find out from a former confectionery buyer on what it takes to get to Christmas chocolate on the supermarket shelves.
