Also in the programme, can you profit from being attacked? Police in Chicago say the actor Jussie Smollett filed a fake claim he suffered a homophobic attack because he was 'dissatisfied with his salary'. We hear from Britain's largest airport Heathrow, where stockpiling is underway in case of a no-deal Brexit. Should we pay closer attention to our data?

Ed Butler is joined throughout the programme by Professor Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland and Dr Stephanie Hare, an independent researcher, in London.
