Covid climb, childcare costs and why can't the French count properly?
How accurately are official figures picking up the new covid wave?
Covid cases are rising once again 鈥� how accurately are official figures picking up the new wave and how worried we should be? We discuss inflationary spirals and how much wage and pension increases contribute to inflation. Also how many parents actually struggle with childcare costs? Can long waits at A&E be put down to the pandemic and why the French count differently to the British.
