Mental Health Arithmetic: Counting The Cost of Illness

 Mental health is climbing the political agenda as the government battles economic inactivity. We discuss the impact on inflation and the benefits bill of long-term sickness with reporters Olivia Fletcher and Philip Aldrick. Plus: as Rishi Sunak touches down in India, we preview the G-20 summit in New Delhi with senior editor Alan Crawford. Finally, what's the difference between the government and Labour on international trade? We get the view from two shipping industry experts: Lloyd's Register CEO Nick Brown and Maritime UK CEO Chris Shirling-Rooke. Hosted by Yuan Potts and Lizzy Burden.
