Politics Podcast: Obesity and Tax on Schools

Matthew Revell and studio guests discuss politics from a Wolverhampton perspective.

Studio guests: Carl Husted (Conservative) and Mark Watson (Editor, Minority Perspective)

Is this an Orwellian nightmare come true or are we really all too stupid to look after ourselves?

21.52 - Tax on school savings: should local authorities be allowed to take 5% annually from each school’s savings?
