In our first episode of series 2, our host and BEIS chair Darren Jones MP is joined Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, to talk about the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The pair set the scene for the podcast series and highlight key topics, including inequality and wage stagnation.

In the second half of the episode, fellow committee parliamentarians Sir Stephen Timms MP and Caroline Nokes MP, the Chairs of the Work and Pensions and Women and Equalities Committees respectively, discuss what parliament can be doing to help relieve the pressure on households in the UK.
