Brexit and trade; pensioner millionaires; and Hannah Fry on loyalty cards and cancer
We examine a claim that the UK鈥檚 trade with the European Union has increased since we left the bloc.
Has trade with the EU increased since Britain left the European Union? Tim Harford and the team look at a claim suggesting just that. There鈥檚 a row over the renaming of a street in North London previously called Black Boy Lane 鈥� but how much has it really all cost? Also are there more pensioners in 'millionaire households' than pensioners in poverty. And mathematician Hannah Fry talks about a new study suggesting cases of ovarian cancer can be detected by looking at spending on loyalty cards.
