This week we look at a new survey in which skilled workers say what they like most and least about Sweden.

We ask which parts of some of Sweden’s big cities are best for foreigners.

And we look at whether the next government could unite parties of the left and right.

And in exclusive material for Membership+ subscribers we look at whether your flights home could be disrupted this summer as fuel costs soar.

Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Mandy Pipher and Richard Orange. 

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
