A new report says the benefits of the single market are 'largely imaginary'
A new report says the benefits of the single market are 'largely imaginary.' That's according to social policy think-tank Civitas. They argue exports from non-EU countries to the single market have grown faster than the UK's, and that therefore no deal is better than a bad deal. Jonathan Portes is Professor of economics at King’s College London. He told Share Radio's James Brydges that the report was flawed.

Electric-powered commercial flights could be on offer in 10 years' time
A new start-up says that it could offer an electric-powered commercial flight from London to Paris in 10 years. The plane would carry 150 people on journeys of less than 300 miles. Wright Electric says the price of travel would drop dramatically if there was no jet fuel. British low-cost airline Easyjet has already expressed an interest.

Could scrapping the US's specialist worker visa scheme harm its competitiveness?
While Donald Trump's controversial travel ban continues to be blocked by courts, there's one visa category he might successfully target - the tech industry-favoured H-1-B. The visa, designed for specialist workers, has come under fire for its use by foreign outsourcing firms within the US. But CEO of US-based cyber security firm Vectra Networks, Hitesh Sheth, warns scrapping the whole visa programme could hurt competitiveness in the US. Mr Sheth spoke with Share Radio's Peta Fuller about the issue.

1 in 10 of young Brits are prepared to leave the UK to get onto the property ladder
Almost half of young people in the UK think it's harder than ever before to get on the property ladder. A fifth have told a survey by Halifax they'd be prepared to leave the country in order to buy their own home. Just over a quarter of 18 to 34-year-olds think they'll never have their own property, and one in eight reckon they'll be renting forever. So is home-ownership really out of reach for young buyers? Or is this just pessimism from the younger generation? Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist spoke to Nigel Cassidy to explain the results.
