This is a catch-up version of the weekly, Go Radio Business Show, Sundays from 11am.
This week on The Go Radio Business Show, Willie and Tom pull no punches as they tackle the hard truths politicians keep dodging. From Scotland’s growing deficit and the illusion of “freebies”, to the housing crisis, punishing business rates, and the real cost of economic short-termism, this episode asks one urgent question: who’s actually listening to business?
