On your bike!

Should the unemployed move to find find work? Iain Duncan Smith joins James to discuss.

Iain Duncan Smith joined me to put the record straight on his proposals to encourage more mobility in the workforce. Whilst I see his views and I can recognise when the opposition have a pop at him, the clear problem here is how to implement the ideas and aspirations. The benefits system is so complex; where every claimant has a different requirement, inevitably there are going to be problems. I just wonder if there will ever be a time if the system is both fair and cost effective.

 

With the football result – where do you start? I think 4 -1 defeat to Germany says everything you need to know.  I was joined by Allister Heath, Editor of City AM and Dr David Kuo from the Motley Fool http://www.fool.co.uk/ joined me to discuss the Budget and give you some financial advice. Clearly a difficult time to invest in the markets. However, some consolation since it looks like there will not be a double dip recession.  

 

Oh and the poor old donkey that escaped from its paddock and was found in a swimming pool. Luckily the donkey was lifted to safety.  

 

I’m back next Saturday for Breakfast
