Join FT reporters and commentators for a subscriber webinar from 13:00 to 14:00 GMT on Friday to review the UK’s economic prospects in light of the Labour government’s first Budget.

Two days after chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled the biggest tax-raising Budget for half a century, our panel will assess the government’s chances of bolstering investment and growth.

What will the Budget mean for public borrowing, the tax burden and public services including the NHS, education and defence? What are the political implications of the government’s gamble on short-term political pain for long-term economic gain? What can the new Labour government do to realise its ambition to make the UK the fastest-growing economy in the G7 and develop the industries of the future?
