Episode description

More than 9 million people of working age in the UK are not looking for a job or able to start work. Meanwhile sickness and disability benefits cost the taxpayer £48 billion a year.


Following his Channel 4 documentary on the issue, former Spectator editor Fraser Nelson visits some of most workless areas of the country to understand why Britain isn’t working - and how a solution is essential to get the economy growing.


Plus, Labour MP Rachael Maskell has said “there is nothing safe” about the assisted dying Bill. She tells the Daily T that MPs should “hit the pause button” on the law until palliative care is improved.
