Episode description

Sir Keir Starmer has called the current benefits system unsustainable, indefensible and unfair. He’s vowed to cut £3bn over the next three years and is expected to announce billions more in savings from the personal independence payment (Pip), the main disability benefit. How hard or easy is it to claim disability benefits, and how worried are you at the prospect of cuts?

Also, James speaks to Guy Shrubsole, author of “The Lie of the Land” and “Who Owns England”, for the details on the potential for Britain’s land registry to be opened to the public.

And, James speaks with Mohamed El-Erian, Former Deputy Director of the IMF, who explains why US shares fell sharply again on Monday and why President Donald Trump has refused to rule out a recession.

This episode was recorded on the 11th March. Catch James O'Brien weekdays from 10am on LBC.
