Which party do you trust with the economy? Tories, Labour and Lib Dem head to head
May 19, 2017 16:13 - 54 minutes - 50 MBThe manifestos are out, but which political party would you trust with the UK economy? We look at Labour's plan to hike taxes, the Tories' plan to ditch the triple lock and the Lib Dem's plan to make a bit of cash on the side from selling weed. This week we finally got the triple whammy of what our three main political parties will do, so would any of these plans work and what do people think about them? Simon Lambert, Adrian Lowery and Georgie Frost delve into the details in the latest This...
The next financial crisis is inevitable - isn't it?
May 17, 2017 16:26 - 19 minutes - 18 MBIn part two of this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Rich Browning and Simon Lambert discuss the inevitability of another global financial meltdown and how we’re going to fix it this time round. Meanwhile, what’s in store in Europe now a former investment banker, Emmanual Macron, is president of France and looking to reinvigorate the European project? Perhaps this an opportunity for investors to make a quick buck or euro away from the uncertainty of the outcome of any Brexit negotiations. ...
Is this finally it? Have house prices peaked? Dare we mention that word, crash?
May 12, 2017 18:16 - 41 minutes - 38.8 MBThe property data is out and it’s not looking good. House prices fell for the first time in five years. Homes are going for less than asking prices. Yet in some areas you need 17 times your salary to buy a place. Where’s it all going to end? Perhaps moving into tiny mobile sheds on trailers or a boat is the only answer. Or will prices start to tumble? Simon Lambert takes one of his legendary forensic looks behind the figures, joined by Rich Browning and Georgie Frost for a fun debat...
The supermarket squeeze on the way - and the tax breaks you just lost
May 05, 2017 11:49 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBShoppers have enjoyed cheap prices off the back of a supermarket price war, but alarm bells were sounded in Sainsbury’s results this week, showing how cost inflation is squeezing its profits. How long is it before supermarkets give up trying to cushion the blow for households and price rises hit? Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at what next for our shopping bills and how the big supermarkets are doing, in this week’s This is Money podcast. But how much do we really care ab...
Should we ditch the pensions triple lock? (Podcast excerpt)
May 03, 2017 10:22 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MBThe pensions triple lock means that state pensions rise by wages, inflation or 2.5% - whichever is greatest. This promise has raised pensioner incomes but stands accused of being too expensive and has become an election hot potato. Should it be ditched? Simon Lambert, Rachel Rickard Straus and Georgie Frost discuss it on this excerpt from the This is Money podcast.
How the probate fee hike was dropped (Podcast excerpt)
May 03, 2017 09:01 - 5 minutes - 5.23 MBPlans to massively hike probate fees have been dropped, but was this due to the General Election or the government trying to distance itself from a move that saw a huge backlash? Simon Lambert, Rachel Rickard Straus and Georgie Frost discuss it on this excerpt from the This is Money podcast.
The election is about your money - not just leadership battles - find out how
April 28, 2017 17:08 - 49 minutes - 46.9 MBThe result of the election on June 8 will determine the financial outcome of Britain possibly more than any other in recent memory. So sit down and listen to Simon Lambert, Georgie Frost and Rachel Rickard Straus explain in simple terms what is at stake. On the agenda: Pension triple lock – if you’ve never really understood this, you will now Energy price cap – that old thing. The only thing left for Theresa May to do to turn into Ed Miliband is to eat a bacon butty badly. Who will f...
It's not all Brexit... what does the UK election mean for your money?
April 21, 2017 13:19 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBBrexit this, Brexit that but what about the other stuff we need to worry about. Britain soon gets to vote in another election and inevitably the campaigns surrounding it will be about Brexit. Before you get bombarded with those, this week’s This is Money podcast looks at why Theresa May has even called another election and what that decision means for the economy, the pound and investors? Yet this election should not just be about Brexit, there are other things to consider too. This is ...
This is Money show - the lucky dip of price hikes, the big investing question it's easy to overlook, Lifetime Isas and alarming credit card debt
April 07, 2017 13:23 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MBThe price of all sorts is going up this week - from stamps to council tax. This is Money's Rachel Rickard Straus and Lee Boyce play the lucky dip of price hikes - which involves a stop watch, chocolate eggs... and quick explanations of how bills are set to rise. Then it's on to debt - credit card, car... you name it. Is it a worry? Is it a big worry? What's going to happen next? (Spoiler alert - they think it's a worry.) The Lifetime Isa - Lisa - has just launched, so that's next on the age...
It was a historic moment — Britain is leaving the affordable goods market
March 31, 2017 14:33 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBIt was never about economics. But 52% or the 72% turnout voted for the UK to leave the European Union last June and now it’s official. Prime Minister Theresa May has written and delivered a letter that gives the country just two years to renegotiate tens of thousands of laws that took 40 odd years to draw up. It’s about taking control, she said, without expanding what that might mean. In the absence of any credible positive analysis from the 'Leave' fraternity, please allow Simon Lamber...
We’ve seen the future – and it’s long, we’re poorer and there’s not a bank branch in sight
March 24, 2017 16:59 - 51 minutes - 48.2 MBOne thousand years ago, life expectancy was about 30 years. In 30 years’ time, someone will be born who could live to 1,000. This causes a problem for the pensions industry and governments. It’s tough enough finding an income for a few months without working, never mind 935 years. This is the kind of problem experts have been grappling with lately and some of the results are emerging. On the table are joys such as working until you’re 105 years old, abolishing the State pension or co...
10 reasons our finances are in a mess (without even mentioning Brexit)
March 17, 2017 14:59 - 52 minutes - 49.5 MBWhat a mess we’re in. Without too much effort this week, we spotted 10 messes. It was made pretty easy with the fallout from Chancellor Philip Hammond’s first go at a Budget making news all week. His attack on small business was up there with some of the made-up-as-you-go-along nonsense from his predecessor. Hammond learned well from George Osborne. Mess 1 The Budget. Last week we wondered if the whole thing was a joke? It was. The main thrust, a rise in National Insurance contribution...
Was the whole Budget a joke? Simon Lambert dissects a Chancellor's kamikaze attack on small business
March 10, 2017 16:12 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MBIt felt like there was something fishy going on during the Budget speech this week. Chancellor Philip Hammond peppered the few official announcements he made with low-rent panto gags and political jibes. Were these a distraction technique? With the benefit of hindsight, it’s clear that trying to be funny was silly Philly’s way of glossing over one of the more ‘spectacularly dumb’ decisions in modern politics. Big banks brought the economy to its knees in the late noughties, why now go a...
Is this the end of the bull run? A better explanation will be harder to find
March 03, 2017 15:34 - 59 minutes - 55.4 MBA speech this week from President Donald Trump sent the US stock market soaring to a record high. And where the US goes, the rest of the world follows. The FTSE 100 is also impressing investors. Trump stood at the podium, behaved like an adult and explained a little more about some of his less crazy policies, including the fiscal ones. Cash held offshore could start washing back into America and wind up in the pockets of shareholders, who clearly want a piece of that pie. There’s more...
Dumb business decisions - banks vs BA, Ferrari and football clubs
February 24, 2017 15:51 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBThere are a lot of laughs this week as Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a sideways look at some of the week’s potty money stories. Banks are in the spotlight because it’s reporting season and there was a mix of good news, shock news and fraud news from Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and the rest. But the pathetic attempts by RBS to lure customers to its headline 0.05% interest-paying cash Isa get taken to pieces by the This is Money team. Also on the show… A trendy new bank bac...
The three events that could bring about financial misery for millions
February 17, 2017 16:12 - 48 minutes - 45 MBIt’s the Holy Trinity of money-geddon (to mess up a couple of Biblical metaphors). But this could be big. We’re less well off than in 2008, prices are going up and wages aren’t. This adds up to trouble. The British economy is based on us all spending money on services but it’s increasingly money we haven't got. Join Georgie Frost, Rachel Rickard Straus and Simon Lambert for a cheery look at what lies ahead now that the impact of austerity, inflation and the devalued pound is becoming ...
Madness, madness, they call it (housing) madness
February 10, 2017 14:59 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MBThe property market is broken. Years of cheap money have allowed lenders to lend more and more to people earning less and less and we’re at crisis point. The politics of trying to boost the housing market to win votes has left us on the brink of potential disaster. Rents are likely to soar too, removing even that alternative to having a roof over our heads, and while all the economic focus rests on London there’s little incentive to move to Stoke-on-Trent. It was with this mess in mi...
REVEALED: There is a way to save your money without losing out
February 03, 2017 16:33 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBWe haven’t left the world’s biggest trading block yet so measuring the success of Brexit is tricky. It hasn’t happened. There’s still no plan. But what we do know is this. The inequality gap between rich and poor in Britain is growing. More than 14million have not been able to save a penny in the last 12 months. And HALF of earners of £25,000 or less haven’t put cash aside for the rainy days ahead. But why would you save when the interest rates available are lower than inflation? It mea...
Auf wiedersehen, adieu, so long, au revoir to the banks
January 27, 2017 17:28 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBWe tried hard this week not to talk too much about Britain's exit from the European economic bedrock as it jumps headfirst into bed with Donald Trump’s protectionist America. Instead, and in related news, Georgie Frost, Adrian Lowery and Simon Lambert take a look at the exodus of banks from the UK. Not just those planning on moving to continental Europe post-Brexit, but the latest wave of branch closures announced by HSBC and Yorkshire Bank. But do we really need them? Simon, This is Mon...
From Brexit plans to Trump, it's just got real - what does that mean for your money?
January 20, 2017 18:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBThis week will go down in history for a couple of major events. A new US president being sworn in is always big news but that happens every four years. OK, Donald Trump might shake things up a bit if he's able to get his way. Most noteworthy in Britain was the revelation that 'Brexit’ means the total withdrawal from the EU, customs union and single market as a way of controlling immigration. Prime Minister Theresa May laid out her 'plan' for the future of Britain outside the world's la...
Will the FTSE keep rising? We've never had it so good, or have we?
January 13, 2017 16:36 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBInvestors have been cheered by a stunning start to 2017 for the FTSE 100, which racked up a record-breaking run of closing highs. But does that mean we should be confident or worried? The FTSE 100 is made up of international companies with foreign earnings, booming on the back of the devalued pound. On this week’s This is Money podcast, Simon Lambert and Rachel Rickard Straus join Georgie Frost in the Share Radio studios to explore why shares have soared and discuss whether this is a go...
Fed up with bad news... listen to the optimism edition of the This is Money podcast
January 06, 2017 14:28 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBThe glass is half full and we’re on the hunt for a silver lining as we look forward to what's in store for our finances in 2017. We also cast a quick glance back at the most entertaining money stories of 2016, which were about... well, money. We go behind the scenes with the man we hold responsible for the phenomenon that was stories about new fivers worth a more than £5 and coins worth a small fortune, consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce. Readers loved his stories about coins and notes las...
Economics, politics and Marmite – 2016 – an unusual year in focus
December 23, 2016 15:45 - 52 minutes - 47.9 MBThe phenomenal successes of British athletes at the Rio Olympics were quickly forgotten in 2016 as a confusing, unpredictable mix of politics and economics took over. The peculiarities began before Brazil, however, when Leicester City won the Premiership title at odds of 5,000 to 1. Then the British public were granted a vote on the country’s role in the European Union, which few appeared to understand. Markets crashed and recovered, the pound tanked and people got rather angry – but mos...
The third annual supermarket Christmas dinner taste test and some economics
December 16, 2016 15:08 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MBIt might be the only time in history that four five-course supermarket Christmas dinners are taste-tested on live radio over a discussion about the state of the economy. There’s really not much more one can say. Other than will it be Lidl, Waitrose, Tesco or ‘the wildcard’ that proves more popular this year in the turkey, cheese, Prosecco, sprouts and cranberry sauce league? The result, as a clickbaiter might say, may surprise you. The journey might amuse you. Inflation hit 1.2% and...
What drives you mad. How mortgage lending works. The end of the world.
December 09, 2016 16:52 - 50 minutes - 46 MBIt’s amazing isn’t it? We’re a service economy with a heavy reliance on financial services but when it comes to customer services and financial services, we’re useless. Our email inbox is permanently full of complaints about companies that refuse to help their customers – as is our old-fashioned post bag. For the ninth year running the Wooden Spoon awards are upon us, where we highlight the most complained about companies and organisations of the year and ask readers, listeners and viewer...
How safe are your bank, your energy firm and your gig tickets?
December 02, 2016 15:35 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MBAn energy firm collapsed this week, but even if you were one of GB Energy's customers you might not have even realised. If you've ever wondered where all those strangely named energy firms have come from, listen to this week's This is Money Podcast to find out. Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce, of This is Money, join Georgie Frost in the Share Radio studios to discuss why our energy firms are feeling stressed. They also look at why our banks are being stress tested, with the majority state-owne...
What the Autumn Statement means for you
November 25, 2016 17:14 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBThe new Chancellor delivered his first Autumn Statement this week with the aim of distancing himself from his predecessor - but what will it mean for you? Philip Hammond grabbed the headlines with a ban on fees for tenants, a 2.2% savings bond, a minor splurge on infrastructure and an awful lot of debt. Will tenants bear the brunt of landlords hiking rents after being hit by crafty letting agents? Is a three-year bond paying 2.2% the answer to the savings crisis? What’s the key to produ...
Will Brexit Britain get an Autumn Statement giveway - and what's Trumpflation?
November 18, 2016 17:27 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBAfter the Brexit vote rolled in, a tax giveaway and spending splurge was considered a nailed on certainty. Five months down the line, Britain's economy has surprised many with its resilience and it's not so clear cut. So what will Philip Hammond do in the Autumn Statement. Will the public get infrastructure bonds to invest in, will stamp duty see a cut to get people moving, and will anyone ever commit to properly fixing Britain's roads. Next Wednesday's Autumn Statement holds the key and Sim...
What will President Trump mean for you?
November 11, 2016 16:43 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBThe Simpsons predicted it but did you? Donald Trump will be the next president of the US after his election win this week - something many thought was impossible. But just how much of a part did economic dissatisfaction among those who feel left behind by a wealthy elite play in this? Did that wealthy elite spend too long ignoring ordinary hard-working families concerns and telling them they knew what was best? Why didn't the other side realise and do something that would have stopped the...
Was the Bank of England wrong on Brexit? How to beat low rates and the robots after your job
November 04, 2016 14:36 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBThe Bank of England updated us on post-Brexit vote Britain this week and managed to admit it was wrong while telling us it was right. Simon Lambert, Adrian Lowery and Georgie Frost rake through the inflation report and outlook for interest rates and the economy on the This is Money podcast with Share Radio. They also look at what that High Court victory means for Brexit, business and our money. While this rumbles on, savers are being stung by terrible rates and inflation rising. So what shou...
Can you save enough for retirement? Heathrow vs house prices
October 28, 2016 12:44 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBCleared for take-off? Heathrow is given the green light for a third runway, but what does it mean for the economy, residents, house prices and the future of air travel from Britain? Some under 30s ARE saving enough for retirement while we explain why turning back the clocks this weekend makes our roads more dangerous. Has buy-to-let gone cold? Or should landlords look north to student towns such as Leeds for better yields? Buy-to-let and LS6 postcode expert Simon Lambert runs the rule. A...
It's time to stop meddling and making everything so complicated
October 21, 2016 15:52 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBEnough already! Can’t everything just be simpler? ‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’, said Leonardo da Vinci, whose basic thinking gave us art and helicopters to chat about and wonder over for centuries. It hardly goes without saying that top of the week’s meddles is from Ryanair, the low-cost airline MOST famous for concocting increasingly bizarre, arbitrary ways of charging people more. Now it’s levying a fee for checking yourself in at home on your computer and printing th...
Love it or hate it - the pound is not as strong as we're used to
October 14, 2016 16:57 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBThe country appeared to take leave of its senses this week. As the pound continues to take a steady route south through the Channel tunnel down to the capital of Armageddon, the effects are being felt by businesses across Britain. And bit-by-bit consumers are starting to notice. They’re not happy. News of the famous savoury black paste, Marmite, being taken off the shelves at Tesco spread across the internet like a yeast infection. People became hysterical - and not in a funny way. Y...
Artificial intelligence, illusions and algorithms - the new market forces
October 07, 2016 16:57 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBIt’s the best money show on the radio. Of that we are in no doubt. What is in doubt, though, is what’s behind our ‘economic recovery’ and the small matter of the future of Britain. Georgie and Simon are joined by ace This is Money investment and business reporter Ellie Lawrie to pore over the week’s strange events. To the soundtrack of the Prime Minister’s pro-Brexit speech at the Conservative Party conference, the FTSE 100 was hitting near record highs. Behind the headlines, the sto...
Germany leads the world... to financial Armageddon and other stories
September 30, 2016 14:12 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MBHere’s our latest joyous look at the week’s events. Join Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce for money mirth with a few nervous laughs on top. We’re possibly staring global financial Armageddon in the face again as Germany’s biggest bank owes more money in fines than it’s worth while it sits on TRILLIONS of pounds of complex debt that no one appears to understand. UK banks were bailed out to the tune of around £500bn after the 2008 crisis, paid for by cutting Government spending...
The economics of weddings, scones and packets of cereal
September 23, 2016 17:26 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBIt’s a really fun show this week and a fantastic antidote to the Bake Off and Brangelina hysteria. For the initiated, two well-known Hollywood actors announced their divorce this week and the makers of televised cake-making competition revealed they were moving it to Channel 4 from the BBC. And we don’t care. Not that making cakes doesn’t get a look in. It does but with the usual financial twist. How to save money baking is one of the more popular stories of the week. Have you any id...
People on £5 notes and other financial injustices
September 16, 2016 17:25 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MBNow that cash machines hardly ever distribute five pound notes, the Bank of England decided it was time to issue a new, modern plastic one - to great fanfare. But the question on everyone's lips is why was it Winston Churchill and not Keith Richards on the note. This is just one of the conundrums in this week's round-up of the best of the week's money news. Also on the show... Banks under investigation for using interest rate cuts to punish customers Pensions are just too confusing are...
Young vs old, bank insults and cheap mortgages
September 09, 2016 16:16 - 52 minutes - 18.2 MBThis week the team from This is Money join Share Radio’s Georgie Frost for an entertaining look back at the week’s big stories from the disgusting tricks hidden in cancer insurance small print to the birth of a new money superhero, Scam Man. Also on the show: Why banks are refusing to grant overdrafts to youngsters. Are they overeducated and misunderstood or just living in the wrong part of town? Did baby boomers really steal all the money and run away? Did Governor of the Bank of England...
Best bits from the This is Money podcast
September 02, 2016 17:40 - 56 minutes - 19.5 MBWe take a look back at some of the recent major financial events that have affected us all. It's been a bumpy ride and it's time to take stock. The team from This is Money with Georgie Frost of Share Radio explain the fallout of the EU referendum, the collapsing pound and interest rates, Santander 123, complicated Bank of England decisions, inheritance tax and loads more. As ever, they explain what it all means and what it means for the pounds, the euros and dollars in our pockets.
If it feels that good, it's probably a scam
August 26, 2016 17:49 - 51 minutes - 17.8 MBThis week, as the country was feeling good about its record medal haul in the Rio Olympics, suddenly consumer confidence appeared to be looking healthy too. But behind the rose-tinted sunglasses, a bubble of household debt was competing in a new kind of race with rival, the house price bubble, to see which will burst first. It’s neck and neck. Household debt is at terrifying levels. If consumer spending is on the rise, it’s likely that credit cards are a driving force. More than one in...
Why on earth is inheritance tax so complicated? This is Money podcast
August 19, 2016 16:06 - 54 minutes - 18.8 MBThis week This is Money editor Simon Lambert and consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce explain the peculiarities of inheritance tax - and then ask why on earth it has to be so complicated. The team also discuss the watering down of the once quite fantastic 123 account from Santander - and whether it's still a good deal. Lee has a moan about train fares and they ask whether Essex really is the happiest place to live in the UK.
Is there any point trying to make people switch bank? This is Money Show
August 12, 2016 15:20 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBYes, it's just what we've all been waiting for - another report on the banks. This week, the CMA delivered its recommendations to shake up the current account market. Were they any good? And should we even bother trying? After all, the banks themselves already offer us free money, savings account-smashing interest rates and lots of other goodies. Simon Lambert and Rachel Rickard Straus, join Georgie Frost in the Share radio studio for the This is Money Show to talk banks and much more. Als...
Rate cuts: the losers and bankers of a failed system
August 05, 2016 16:59 - 49 minutes - 17 MBThe whole financial system has failed us. Bankers not content with stealing £500bn in the financial crisis have just been handed billions more by their boss at the Bank of England in a desperate attempt to prop up the economy. We have the lowest level of home ownership for 30 years – to the point of ‘national emergency’. The economy is regressing. House prices are falling. The pound is collapsing. Foreign companies are queuing up to grab our cut-price industrial crown jewels. As w...
How to beat Santander 123 cut threat and negative rates
July 29, 2016 14:05 - 55 minutes - 51.4 MBIt’s a well-known fact that everyone who works for a bank is a sociopath and thief who doesn’t sleep at night, not because they have a conscience, but because they’re vampires (ugly ones) feeding off the goodwill of the living. Ok, it’s not a fact. But the way some of them behave it’s not difficult to think bad things. This week, we expose Lloyds Bank as liars, look at just how sneaky NatWest has become with its charges and how Santander lured in millions of savers with a deal that’s sud...
Al-Arm bells ringing at the dawn of things
July 22, 2016 14:07 - 51 minutes - 48.1 MB‘Exploited! Barmy Army!’ ‘Exploited! Barmy Army!’ Come on? Who still remembers the early 80s war cry from post-punk nihilists, The Exploited? And who else thinks it could equally now apply to first of the big post-Brexit foreign business invasions – the Japanese takeover of British chip-making legend, Arm? With the pound down 20% against the yen since the referendum, heavily indebted Japenese company Softbank has made a massively overvalued offer to buy the crown jewels of mobile phone ...
What's the point of... Chancellors to estate agents?
July 15, 2016 13:16 - 51 minutes - 47.9 MBThis week we meet Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones to talk about his guitar collection and... oh, sorry, that's not true. However we dress this up, the truth is that this week's show and probably next week and the week after features more Brexit. Not too much though. Saved by of all things, Milton Keynes and more specifically its car parks. To kick off, Simon Lambert, Rebecca Rutt and George Frost take a reflective look over the week's events and wonder in the wake of Brexit... Wh...
Britain in gloom - This is Money podcast
July 08, 2016 17:18 - 53 minutes - 49.9 MBIt’s started. You can’t decide to leave the world’s biggest trading block and not expect some serious financial consequences. Especially when the boys responsible for it ran away. The economics of Brexit are suddenly looking dark. We could be living under the cloud for many years. Already, just two weeks on from the referendum, we are beginning to see the prospect of falling investment, falling house prices and job insecurity. Householders, especially those in debt, need to prepare...
Over and out: our entertaining look at Brexit fallout
July 01, 2016 13:32 - 52 minutes - 49.5 MBIn the run up to the ‘greatest constitutional crisis of modern times’ it was said that no one knew what would happen if we voted ourselves out of the EU. But like so much of the twaddle peddled by both campaigns’ liars-in-chief, this was also not the case. We did kind of know if only we had listened. The cool head at the Bank of England, Mark Carney, laid out the prospects in pretty clear and certain terms. And it is coming to pass. The majority of people, it seems, only listened to ...
What will Brexit mean for your money and the UK economy?
June 24, 2016 14:08 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBBritain has voted to leave the EU in a historic referendum but what will Brexit mean for your money? As the world digested the 52-48 Leave vote, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce, of This is Money, join Georgie Frost of Share Radio to discuss what next. The UK woke up a to a new era in its politics and markets have been see-sawing but beyond the short-term volatility, how will Brexit affect our finances?
Britain's business in the spotlight - for the wrong reasons
June 17, 2016 13:45 - 52 minutes - 49.2 MBAround the same time that once-loved High Street retailer BHS was tumbling into administration, the journalist Roberto Saviano, who spent more 10 years exposing the criminal workings of the Mafia, announced to the Hay Literary Festival that Britain was the most corrupt country on the planet. Our financial affairs, it seems are being eyed with interest and suspicion around the world. What better way to celebrate then, than to have another high-profile inquiry into the shenanigans behind the...
