We chatted about:

  • The Digital Economy Bill is currently being debated in the Lords, but many Lib Dems are unhappy with an amendment put forward by Lib Dem Lords Tim Clement-Jones and Tim Razzall. Bridget Fox explains the bill, and her opposition to the amendment.
  • With the polls tightening, talk of the possibility of a hung parliament is growing in volume. Would this be a crisis for the economy, as some have suggested, or could it be a triumph for democracy?
  • Postal strikes have been called off after the announcement of a pay deal which will give postal workers a 6.9% pay rise over three years. But can Royal Mail carry on in its current form, or does it need a major shakeup?
