In this clip from Makin Sense, Simon Lincoln Reader delivers his take on what an honest UK budget speech would have been. Simon is an entrepreneur that has started businesses in South Africa and The United Kingdom and he also moonlights as The Common Sense's United Kingdom correspondent. He joins a panel of South Africans that live scattered across the world to explore South African and global news stories. Makin Sense is the flagship podcast of The Common Sense, a new South African media organisation that offers independent analysis on South African and global news stories. Our foundational value is respect for the time our subscribers invest in reading, listening to, and watching our content. We stress the bridge issues that unite people and not the wedge issues that are used to divide and celebrate all the things that are good about South Africa and the world because it is in so many respects a wonderful time to be alive
