Summary
Mark Dolan sits in for Ian Collins this bank holiday Monday. He is joined by Liam Deacon and Dr Mike Galsworthy to discuss Keir Starmer telling European leaders that the UK’s “national interest” lies in deeper EU ties - even as the bloc demands £1 billion a year for greater access to the single market. Then political power couple Neil and Christine Hamilton break down the shocking new figures showing welfare now pays more than work for 600,000 UK households. Hosted on Acast.
