The Bigger Picture: Public Sector Pay, The Illegal Migration Bill & Joe Biden, the UK and NATO
With junior doctors going on strike, political commentator Mike Indian ponders the answer to the UK's failing public services. After the rebuff of the Illegal Migration Bill in the House of Lords, he points out that the bill does not address the fundamental problems of migration. And he takes some positives from Joe Biden's visit to the UK and the NATO summit.

The Business of Film: No Hard Feelings, Asteroid City & Extraction II
James Cameron-Wilson comments on the dire state of the UK box office, where Cineworld is filing for administration. With Spider-Man returning to #1, the implausible and predictable No Hard Feelings, with Jennifer Lawrence, enters at #3. Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is #4. Despite liking some of his films and despite a stellar cast, James found this too deliberately quirky and self-indulgent. He was much keener on thriller Extraction II with Chris Hemsworth on Netflix. While lacking in originality, he found the action sequences genuinely thrilling, with one being among the best he's ever seen.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Health-checking supermarket trolleys, inflatable bike helmets & the Furby is back
Steve Caplin reports on the world of tech, where the Esports Olympics have just taken place. He discusses supermarket trolleys that could check on your heart, DNA testing for dogs, an inflatable bike helmet, why South Koreans are all suddenly a year younger, why NASA wants to introduce talking AI to space missions (haven't they seen 2001?) and convert astronauts' urine into water, how your phone could soon take your temperature, why an updated Furby is returning to annoy us and explains why he loves a pocket-sized, self-flying camera.

The Financial Outlook For Personal Investors: Are private equity takeovers actually a good thing?

The Financial Outlook For Personal Investors: Are private equity takeovers actually a good thing?
In the wake of the buyout of Lookers, Neil Shah of Edison Group considers whether the fact that the UK listed market is steadily being depleted is a bad thing or not? He feels that takeovers by trade buyers or private equity provide a possible exit for investors when the stock market might be underpricing companies and that, without it, investors – particularly in the small- and mid-cap areas – might not see value realised.

The Bigger Picture: Will opinions about the EU switch, failing water companies & is the NHS about to hit a point of no return?
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University suggests that, with the trend in Europe towards nationalist populism and harsher immigration policies, opinions in the UK towards the EU from each political wing may switch, as they have done before. With Thames Water in dire staits, why are natural monopolies failures whether run by the state or privately and what can be done? And with the problems of the NHS deepening, is it about to hit the point of no return?

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What do investors do in response to inflation & interest rates?
With the Bank of England raising interest rates to 5% and inflation not just remaining stubbornly high but perhaps becoming ingrained, Danni Hewson talks to Simon Rose about what the future holds. Housebuilders, retailers and the hospitality sector are saying consumers are resilient but all indicators point to a recession. Investors should be mindful of the changing economy and may need to rebalance their portfolios. With an election pending, how will the Government react to what is happening?

The Business of Film: The Flash, Greatest Days, Fleabag & Inland
James Cameron-Wilson takes Simon Rose though the latest box office figures, hit by the hot weather. The new #1 is The Flash with Ezra Miller, which James enjoyed enormously. Take That jukebox musical Greatest Days with Aisling Bea is #6 while the NTLive one-day presentation of Pheobe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag was #11. James found it tragic, unpredictable & very funny and it will be on again. Indy first film Inland was #30 but, despite Mark Rylance, it left James cold.

The Bigger Picture: The need for long-term governance and inter-generational rebalancing
Gavin Oldham, director of The Share Alliance (as well as founder of Share Radio, The Share Centre and The Share Foundation) talks to Simon Rose about the need for long-term governance which, at present, is not supplied by our democratic system which produces so many career politicians. There are many issues which can only be addressed if there is more attention to a long-term focus, including inter-generational rebalancing and a more egalitarian form of capitalism. He explains why the Welsh government is leading the way in this, why Inheritance Tax needs repurposing and why AI is a great opportunity for wealth distribution.

The Bigger Picture: Changing EU/non-EU immigration, the disaster the inefficient UK state is creating & EU deflation
Professor Tim Evans is fascinated by new figures showing how, in many sectors, non-EU immigrants are now outnumbering workers from the EU. He laments the way in which the inefficiencies of the UK state are piling up disastrous problems ahead that no UK politicians appear prepared to discuss, let alone tackle. And he looks at the EU, which is trying to battle inflation while it is deflation and a chilling recession that lie ahead instead.
