Show Notes

The podcast that keeps you up to date with what is happening economy-wise in Northern Ireland.

2020 will be remembered for many things but low energy prices is probably not one of them.

Those on Universal Credit – that’s around 134,000 in Northern Ireland – are particularly vulnerable having lost their temporary £20 per week uplift last month. Reduced income and rising costs are a nasty combo.
