Summary
Is Britain addicted to borrowing? Why is the national debt continuing to climb despite record tax levels? What can actually be done to solve it? Podcast host Duncan Barkes was joined by trade adviser, economist and media commentator Catherine McBride OBE and research director Darwin Friend to unpack the UK's mounting debt crisis, explore what's driving government borrowing, and discuss what needs to change before the bill becomes impossible to pay.
