Backtrack Britain

Peter Cardwell is joined by Jonathan Greatorex - who runs The Hand at Llanarmon in Wales - and CEO of Night Time Industries Association, Michael Kill, to discuss Labour's potential u-turn on business rates for pubs, and what it will mean for them.Former Conservative Defence Minister, Sir Gerald Howarth, says we're in "really challenging times" and that he's "not hopeful about America" or "Trump talking in transactional terms" regarding Venezuela.Plus, former Metropolitan Police Superintendent, Kevin Hurley, says he is 'appalled' by Scotland Yard, after it admitted it failed to properly vet thousands of officers – allowing rapists, racist and violent offenders to join the force. Hurley says: "it's a product of what's been going on in the UK for the last 20 years - austerity and cutting and underfunding the police force." Hosted on Acast.
