Back to EpisodesBurnham's £100m pub bailout, Brits ditch the Sunday roast, and why AI is killing human creativity
Description
Andy Burnham has announced a 20% cut to business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues. The government claims £100m commitment will be funded by cracking down on businesses, like vape shops and tax-avoidant online sellers, which they say “do not make a positive contribution to local communities.” Morgan Schondelmeier, Head of Policy at the British Beer and Pub Association join us to discuss.
Meanwhile the controversial former Chief Executive of Barclays, Jes Staley is giving evidence to Congress in Washington, over numerous intimate emails he exchanged with the dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. We hear more from City Editor Simon Hunt on that, and why Brits are eating fewer Sunday roasts.
Plus: Features Writer, Adam Bloodworth talks about why we need to stop letting AI do all our writing.
