Is the economy bouncing back?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Rishi Sunak says the latest drop in inflation shows the UK economy is bouncing back - but many consumers still need convincing. We analyse how big a turnaround it is - and what impact the figures will have on the political arguments ahead. Also on the programme: We discuss a call to outlaw abortions after 24 weeks for foetuses diagnosed with Down's syndrome. And from a childhood in revolutionary Cuba to a life in Roxy Music - we speak to guitarist Phil Manzanera.
