The Future of Syria and Housing in the UK

House of Comments

It has been another major week in global affairs. After 50 years, the Assad regime in Syria has fallen. This has major implications in the Middle East and beyond. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss that and then look to home. The government was hit by news that the economy had shrunk 0.1% in October. They have been talking a lot about housing and planning this week, something Charlotte and Emma largely agree on!
