Who are they, what are they buying with that influence and does this mark a shift towards the kind of billionaire-funded politics we’ve seen in the US? And, self-driving cars could put thousands of jobs at risk. A thinktank is calling for them to be taxed to help offset the impact. Is this fair or is it simply the price of progress? Plus, exercise in schools is falling off. As children become less active, are we sleepwalking into a health crisis? This episode was recorded on the 14th of September.
