Brexit one year on, Jaguar Land Rover, Tower block safety

One year on from the EU referendum, how confident do listeners feel about their finances? For some, business is booming; Jaguar Land Rover sold more cars in 2016 than ever before.

One year on from the EU referendum, how confident are you feeling about your finances? New figures suggest an upturn in consumer confidence last month - perhaps we did "keep calm and carry on" after all. For some, business is booming. We hear from Andy Goss, Operations Director at Jaguar Land Rover. Britain's biggest car manufacturer sold more cars last year than ever before - why?

Following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in London, we consider what action is being taken in the private housing sector. Local authority and housing association landlords have been told to check the cladding on all of their tower blocks. The government has said they will pay for the cladding to be tested on privately owned blocks above six storeys as well.

And have honesty boxes had their day? We talk to the people who still trust passersby to pay for what they take. But just how honest are we, when no one is looking?
