  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the uk.

  • Punk tea, BBC Sounds, Music, radio podcasts.

  • It's a Saturday newscast with a difference, because, Laura, you've done a documentary about a woman who will make all the news in the next seven days.

  • Anyway.

  • I have.

  • And Rachel Reeves, whatever you think of her, is going to be featuring very heavily in our lives in the next few days.

  • Not just because she's got a big spring statement, which is not a budget, but it's going to feel a bit like a budget on Wednesday, but also she.

  • She features very heavily in all our lives, whether we like it or not.

  • She must feature in your head.

  • You've been.

  • You've had this access.

  • You've been speaking to her for days.

  • And I'm speaking to her again tomorrow.

  • It's both a good thing, I suppose, and maybe a slightly weird thing that actually we've got a documentary about her and I've spent some time with her and talked to people who know her very well the same weekend that we're then going to speak to her tomorrow and hear lots and lots from her on Wednesday.

  • But I think, and I hope that newscasters might agree, whether they like it or they don't like it, that it is worthwhile, because Rachel Reeves is a massively important political figure.

  • She's incredibly influential.

  • She's making decisions over the economy, and everything she does in her professional life affects every single one of us.

  • So this is Saturday's newscast, the Rachel Reeves edition.

  • Newscast.

  • Newscast from the BBC.
