Wealth taxes are in the news just now – but how much money is too much, what is DIY wealth redistribution & what difference can it make? Neil Maggs asks Frances Howe of Bristol Redistro.
WECA chief Helen, who won the mayoral election for Labour in May, talks election pledges, building relationships, and learning from Andy Burnham to put the West Country on the map.
Neil asks Hartcliffe and Withywood representative Kirsty Tait about the government money the neighbourhood is getting – and about the importance of putting working-class voices at the centre of climate conversations.
Neil chats to Kalpna Woolf on her journey from west London migrant kid to BBC head of production, cookbook author and boardroom diversity advocate – as well asking what exactly a high sheriff gets up to.
