Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with Labour peer Lord Clive Soley over the pensions triple lock, taxpayer-funded public sector schemes and whether proportional representation should be introduced without a referendum.


Former Institute for Fiscal Studies director Paul Johnson explains why the triple lock cannot continue indefinitely and delivers a stark warning over record taxes, soaring debt interest, weak economic growth and Labour’s spending ambitions.


Also: Andy Burnham’s electoral reform push, plans for greater state control and the mounting cost of Britain’s welfare system.
