Insightful look into UK debt, how we got there, and what it means. Certainly leaves you asking questions, such as who actually decides the interest rates to pay back that debt. And that is a whole other can of worms.
An eloquent, accessible, albeit scary analysis of what’s going on with the UK economy at the moment. Gary’s Economics is ace and always worth listening to:

Why does culture and sport matter? I reflect on some of the findings of a Senedd report on BBC Wales Today this evening. Bottom line - sport and culture are good for your physical and mental health - and save health services a fortune. Does Wales need to spend more? senedd.wales/media/ekumt3...
