Summary

Adam Boulton and guests discuss the so-called Paradise Papers which revealed the offshore financial affairs of some of the world's richest people. Have we become apathetic about aggressive tax avoidance and is it morally wrong? The panel examine whether the concept of a Universal Basic Income could be the future of the welfare state and of course, there has been the week's chaos in the Cabinet with Priti Patel's resignation as the International Development Secretary and Boris Johnson's comments about a British woman imprisoned in Iran. Joining Adam this week are Sky's political editor Faisal Islam, Guardian columnist Zoe Williams, Sky's Technology correspondent Tom Cheshire and Head of Data Harry Carr. #ParadisePapers #tax #PritiPatel #BorisJohnson #SkyNews
