Supermarket Sweep: Are Sunak's Price Caps a Good Idea?

Bloomberg’s EMEA healthcare and consumer editor Deirdre Hipwell explains retailers’ scorn and how it’s tarnishing the Conservatives’ traditional image as the party of business.

Resolution Foundation economist Krishan Shah says there’s more ministers could do to ease the squeeze on the poorest Britons.
