Summary

Following the Southport Inquiry, the lawyer for the murdered girls’ families says that the local authority officials at fault should be “named and shamed”, unless suitable disciplinary measures are taken. Would this be fair? Also, James is joined by the UK's leading money saving expert, Martin Lewis, who, alongside his charity, is set to fix the currently vicious council tax debt collection system. And, James is joined by Washington Correspondent, Simon Marks, for an update on Donald Trump, America, and beyond. This episode was recorded on the 15th of April.
