LATEST SHOW
We are losing our competitive edge. Complacency is the most dreadful disease.

We've got a government saying we can afford to play around with this - and, frankly, we cannot.

The stability we've built up is going to go away.

Sir Digby Jones
If you're watching in broadband, here's how to find your favourite parts of the latest show.

1201 Andrew welcomes our gest for the show: the director-general of the CBI, Sir Digby Jones to talk about the day's issues, and whether knighthoods and peerages can be bought.

1205 This morning, the Attorney General's office said that Lord Goldsmith has accepted an apology from Met chief Sir Ian Blair for recording a telephone conversation. As Jenny explains, this is unlikely to be the end of the matter for our accident-prone top cop.

1208 Jenny goes over to the Commons to ask MPs whether they retain trust in Sir Ian.

1211 The Liberal Democrats' Home Affairs spokesman Nick Clegg joins the debate.

1217 Some fuel prices rose by more than 20% this month. News that no-one wants to hear, but worse for some than others. Pensioner and campaigner Albert Venison reports on what it means to be "fuel poor".

1221 We look at the other stories occupying Westminster minds this lunchtime in our Newsbelt.

1223 As many as a thousand new casinos could open within a decade, according to a report for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister which suggests operators are preparing to "lie in wait" for the three year trial period imposed by the government before pushing for more casinos. The research also suggests that the Culture Department underestimated the number of gambling addicts in this country by nearly 50%. We talk to Anthony Jennens of GamCare, a charity that promotes responsible attitudes to gambling.

1227 Your questions and emails for Sir Digby.
