You and Yours

Available for over a year

As accusations continue to grow that social media giant, Meta is enabling Instagram online fraud, our reporter Shari Vahl looks at how small businesses are being affected and how the proposed online harms bill legislation could help. We hear from MP Kevin Hollinrake from the Treasury Select Committee. With warnings that rising energy bills could affect the future of local swimming pools, we talk to swimmers in Liverpool about their thoughts on paying more and hear from the Chief Executive of Swim England, Jane Nickerson, about calls for more support from the government. After two years of restrictions, travel abroad is back for many, despite the cost of living crisis. The Post Office says they’re seeing signs of ‘pent-up demand’ for travel amid a surge in currency sales for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. We look at bank charges and fees while on your spending and the options for pre paid cards. And, Shapewear has traditionally had a somewhat unglamorous reputation - but now with celebrities like Lizzo and Kim Kardashian championing their own brands, is the shapewear industry changing shape? PRESENTER: PETER WHITE PRODUCER: LINDA WALKER
