Liz Kendall and Rachel Reeves are determined for Labour to carry on the Tory austerity measures by picking on disabled and sick people to make up the shortfall they find in their own calculations. But cutting welfare never works in good of bad times.

I thought it would be interesting to see how much it costs Apple to build those things they charge £1,200 for. Turns out it's not that cheap, but bear in mind the figures quoted to build an iPhone and the iOS etc are purchased in bulk, so the reality is it's probably a lot cheaper. Plus they are made in China. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-quick-one-with-ed...

Reform UK MP Richard Tice may well be a wealthy man, but wealth does not equal intellect, ability or serve as an indicator of talent.
