Is there any hope for the UK’s economy?

The Expert Factor team take a deep dive into the UK economy.

Guess what issue is topping the charts of voter concerns? It’s the economy, stupid. Interest rates have soared. We've had high inflation. Mortgage rates have hit eye watering levels. And tax rates are at record highs.

This week's episode of the Expert Factor takes a deep dive into the UK economy.
