Luisa Omielan explores some of the most important things relevant to young people today. In this episode she tackles public spending.

Luisa Omielan tackles public spending on services such as the police, the NHS and local councils. Luisa looks at her local council, Birmingham, to see how cuts have affected the city. With not enough money in the government coffers, she looks at who could contribute more. From big business, the elderly and workers in the gig economy, she looks at all these options. This subject is also a personal one for Luisa as her mum died of cancer last year, and she feels underfunding may have played a part in why her mum didn't get the best treatment when she was ill.
