Rachel Reeves has been slammed after returning from China with just £600 million of investment. The Chancellor made the trip last week despite turbulence on the UK gilt markets as the Budget fallout continues. The Labour politician said she had agreed deals worth £600 million to the UK economy over the next five years.

Today, Paddy and Laura discuss Rachel Reeves’ trip to Beijing to meet with her Chinese counterpart. But some of the opposition are saying she shouldn’t have gone at a time when soaring government borrowing costs threaten to squeeze UK public finances.
