Defence Spending / Skilled Migration / Adult Kids Living Off Parents | Storm & Alexis 170626

Join us as we tackle four major issues dividing Britain.

First, should the government crack down on welfare spending to fund national defence? With the number of people claiming disability benefits now exceeding four million and growing concerns about military readiness, many voters say defence should take priority. Do you agree?

Then, should Britain recruit more skilled foreign workers to boost the economy? Health Secretary Wes Streeting has argued that the UK should do more to attract talented scientists, engineers and innovators from overseas. Is he right, or should British jobs go to British workers first?

Next, we ask whether parents have a duty to financially support their adult children. A new survey suggests many parents expect to keep helping their children until they are 26. Should the bank of mum and dad stay open for years after adulthood, or should young people stand on their own two feet?

And finally, we discuss the buzzard terrorising a village in Leicestershire. Residents say the bird of prey has left people injured and afraid to use local footpaths. Have you ever been attacked by a bird? Has your pet ever been targeted by a bird of prey?

Join the debate and tell us what you think.
