Description

After the second monthly inflation figure in a row came in lower than expected and the Bank of England cut interest rates this week, Will Bain is joined by our weekly panel to look at what it means for businesses and the economy.

As we get ever closer to the 25th of December, we'll hear about what impact the rising cost of a Christmas dinner is having.
