Summary

Amid a profound and worsening cost of living crisis, we discuss whether the Government is rising to the challenge. Is the public being shortchanged? Plus, with the COVID-19 pandemic leading to a huge courts backlog, Evening Standard courts correspondent Tristan Kirk joins us to talk about the pressures on the justice system. And after Facebook reported its first ever drop in daily users, what’s next for the social media giant? “It feels like the Chancellor, with all his riches, hasn’t understood the gravity of the situation.” - Miatta Fahnbulleh “If you want a quick way to solve this issue, increase Universal Credit and don’t raise the cap as much.” - Miatta Fahnbulleh “If Sunak doesn’t get into Number 10 before the pain arrives, then he might miss his moment.” - Tom Peck “Myself, and I assume the Downing Street police officers, would think No.10 would be following their own rules.” - Tristan Kirk https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Ros Taylor with Tom Peck and Miatta Fahnbulleh.
