Show Notes

A damning report by Dame Elizabeth Gloster finds that the financial regulator failed nearly 12,000 people who lost up to £237 million after an investment scheme collapsed. How have those who lost money reacted to her findings?

A search through 390,000 online adverts for rented homes reveals that on two websites more than 80% discriminate against people on benefits.
