Description

Wage growth has overtaken inflation for the first time in two years, in a sign that cost of living pressures may now be starting to ease. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned, however, that the UK remains stuck in a bind between high inflation and weak economic growth. Their director, Paul Johnson, joins Adam alongside the BBC’s chief economics correspondent, Dharshini David, to unpack the day’s economic headlines.

And it’s the final day of SNP conference as Humza Yousaf delivers a closing speech which pledged an extra £300m to help cut NHS waiting lists by 100,000 patients by 2026. We’re joined by the SNP’s Emma Roddick to find out the party’s reaction to Yousaf’s first speech as party leader.
