Driving tests: How bots take the slots

The driving test backlog has created a new industry in test slots - what's being done about it? We also hear from the boss of Waitrose on navigating the cost of living crisis.

There's a huge delay to get a driving test - and it seems to have inspired a new industry making money from test slots. How can a regular learner driver compete with the bots they use to snap up every space? We'll ask how are they doing it and what's being done.

What does the cost of living crisis mean for traditionally high end supermarkets? We'll speak live to the boss of Waitrose.

We'll also ask what small luxuries people are treating themselves to at the moment - is the so-called lipstick effect a real thing - and consider whether a new ombudsman for private landlords will be good news for tenants.
