Including the sale of Tata steelworks in Scunthorpe and The Voice winner Kevin Simm.

Including the sale of Tata steelworks in Scunthorpe, The Voice winner Kevin Simm and our sporting heroes.

As a deal to safeguard jobs at the Tata steelworks in Scunthorpe was signed we discussed the future of the industry with Dr Ian Greenwood from Leeds University Business School and Tom Blenkinsop who is the Labour MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland and the Chair of the all party parliamentary group on steel. We discussed baby seeding an interesting chat about whether babies born via c-section should be swabbed with fluid from the birth canal. We heard from two good case studies and a midwife. The winner of The Voice Kevin Simm was here too. We heard more from Roxanne Pallett who went out disguised as a 90 year old woman for a special 5live ageism project. And it was our sporting hero hour between 1500 and 1600.
