Episode 243. Identity crisis: why the government can't make up its mind about Digital IDs

0:00 56:19

Are the u-turns on ID cards and business rates bad for the economy? Can the Northern Powerhouse Rail deliver what it’s promising? And why is Donald Trump strong-arming banks and oil companies in a way that looks more like old-fashioned state socialism than free-market capitalism?

Steph and Robert examine Labour’s modernisation agenda and ask whether Donald Trump has swapped free-market economics for a “Banana Republic” style economy.
