Tim Montgomerie is joined by Daniel Finkelstein, Jenni Russell and Roger Boyes.Daniel Finkelstein: "It's time to scrap the Budget. We now have two major fiscal events a year - the Budget and the Autumn statement. This encourages gimmicks, reduces strategic thinking and makes it harder to plan. We should move from one event to two and then to Budgets every two years."Jenni Russell: "There's a violent subculture inside our police forces that's out of control. Three recent cases caught on CCTV have shown the police behaving brutally, lying and assuming they'll get away with it. We need cameras, codes of conduct, and tough punishments for officers who offend."Roger Boyes: "The West is threatening Russia with sanctions. They are pretty wimpish and are unlikely to make Putin get out of Crimea any time soon. What we have to do is offer Ukraine NATO membership to show Russia its limits. Will that get us into a shooting war? No. It's the only sure way of setting Russia's limits in Europe."Subscribe via... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
