Defence
Martha Kearney and Andrew Dilnot explore government spending.
Martha Kearney and Andrew Dilnot assess how the UK government spends your money.
From costed manifestos to austerity and the 鈥渕agic money tree鈥, the particulars of government spending have never been more important to the electorate. And with government revenue, spending and debt all at record highs, the question of where that money goes has never been bigger.
Political debates often focus on the small slices of state largesse that are up for grabs in that year鈥檚 budget - Martha and Andrew take the chance to look at the rest of it, the numbers behind the headlines that really reflect what鈥檚 being done with your cash.
