Rachel Reeves has raised taxes, spending and borrowing. We discuss the main budget items and contrast it to Ireland. The markets are cautious on the approach and the rise in borrowing costs means less room is available in the next budget.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>The CSO’s Vital Statistics Yearly Summary has been released for 2022. It shows a 10.1% fall in births in Ireland, with the fertility rate hitting a new low of 1.5 (far below the replacement rate of 2.1). This follows a similar report in the UK showing an even lower rate of 1.44.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>US election night is just days away. We give our final predictions for the closest election in decades. The election night playbook looks at the close of polls in battleground states. These timings are the evening of local time on Tuesday November 5th. That means it’ll be the early morning of Wednesday 6th when Irish and UK viewers can see the results unfold.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Follow us on social media:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/nextroundpod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/nextroundpod</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"http://www.tiktok.com/@nextroundpod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.tiktok.com/@nextroundpod</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/@nextround_pod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.twitter.com/@nextround_pod</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Dale McDermott&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"http://linktr.ee/dalemcdermott\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http://linktr.ee/dalemcdermott</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>David W.
