He looks ahead to the Batley & Spen by-election and predicts what the result might be. He considers the political ramifications of the Martin Bashir scandal for the BBC. And he looks at Northern Ireland politics now that Edwin Poots has taken over the leadership of the DUP.

The Bigger Picture: How net zero could make us richer, the new age of the train & GB News
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University looks at the volte-face from the International Energy Agency's volte-face and how the move towards net zero could make us richer.

And he wonders what the impact of GB News could be on TV's currently homogenised news output.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The advantages private investors have over fund managers
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, considers the reaction of equity markets to growing concerns about inflation. Having discussed this very possibility here for some time, Russ points out some of the advantages private investors have over fund managers. If they can conquer the Fear Of Missing Out then they not only don't have to follow the herd but don't have to be invested at all. He points out some areas investors could look at if they are concerned about inflation and even suggests one very bold call - commercial real estate.

Transparent wood may soon incorporate orange peel. And why you should hope your surgeon is playing hiphop or rap rather than classical music.
