Breakfast, And Other Stories

Nurses begin their first strike in NHS history, adding to the government's woes from the recent wave of industrial action. The depth of the cost-of-living crisis is illustrated by the latest Bloomberg Breakfast Index, which tracks the price of key ingredients. Also in the show: why the Institute for Fiscal Studies wants changes to an inheritance tax loophole, plus the latest moves to boost UK wind power, in a week where spot prices for electricity reached a record high. Stephen Carroll and Yuan Potts are joined by Bloomberg reporters Julian Harris, Katie Linsell, Tom Metcalf and Will Mathis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
