Is it time we joined the euro?
With the tenth anniversary of the Euro today we're asking is it time for us to join the single currency? Perhaps you've just come back from a festive break or are in the process of booking your summer holiday and are finding the exchange rate at the moment means you're getting a lot less for your money. Or maybe you get frustrated at having to change your money every time you travel to Europe. Is that reason enough to join the Euro or would we be surrendering too much of our autonomy?
Plus... Does your background determine your future?
Studies show that people from disadvantaged backgrounds get less access to opportunities and that social mobility, far from improving, is getting worse since Labour took power. Is that your experience? Does it matter what school you went to or what class you come from? Should government be doing more to address this or is it up to us to be more aspirational?
