WE'LL BE DISCUSSING...

– Do companies have a moral obligation to cease operations in Russia? Should consumers boycott those that don't?– Does the Ukraine invasion underscore the need for Britain to increase defence spending?– Has the UK's response to the refugee crisis really been "woeful"?– With war in Europe driving up energy prices and exacerbating our cost-of-living crisis, should we have a referendum on Net Zero?
