Scottish Budget, Core Maths and Christmas Winners


Listen Later

Higher earners in Scotland are to pay more income tax from April. That was one of the headlines from the Scottish government in its budget on Tuesday. We'll discuss that change and more with Professor Mairi Spowage, director of the Fraser of Allander Institute at the University of Strathclyde.

Tens of thousands of teenagers could benefit from studying the subject of core maths once they turn 16. That's according to the charity Maths in Education and Industry. The course was launched in 2014 and currently has around 12,000 teenagers studying it in around 30 per cent of schools across England. However, the MEI says it's vital to get as many students as possible signed up.

We have our top three Christmas crackers – tips to save you money in 2024. We also revisit some of the people we've helped this year.

Plus, festive music from the City of Lincoln Band.

Presenter: Paul Lewis
