Pod is going from strength to strength - keep going!

Simplistic.

Overall I enjoy listening to Money Talks, but was disappointed by the presenter's simplistic characterisation of crypto, lumping it all into one and conflating it to a "meme stock". A few bad actors like FTX do not mean all crypto is a "meme stock" and The Economist should know that Gary Gansler's (SEC) view of most crypto as an "unregulated security" is being challenged by the House Financial Service Committee as well as others. Meanwhile, the EU and UK are acting much more favourably to crypto with the MiCA regulation and recent meetings with Coinbase in the UK.

There are thousands of talented people developing exciting blockchain technologies all around the world, including in the UK (like Arweave) with billions being invested by well know companies - Hedera for example, has Boeing, Dell, Google, IBM, LG and others on its Governing Council - hardly a meme stock.

Excellent

Brilliant combination of top guests and focus on the economics issues of the moment.

Understanding inflation will help you understand why your shopping is getting more and more expensive and why prices rarely seem to come down.

What is inflation, why does it matter, and is someone to blame if it goes up? Understanding inflation will help you understand why your shopping is getting more and more expensive and why prices rarely seem to come down. Tim Harford explains why the inflation figure you see on the TV might not reflect the price rises you're experiencing and economic historian Victoria Bateman tells us why having a boat load of silver coins isn't always a good thing.

Everything you need to know about the economy and what it means for you. This podcast will cut through the jargon to bring you clarity and ensure you finally understand all those complicated terms and phrases you hear on the news. Inflation, GDP, Interest rates, and bonds, Tim Harford and friends explain them all. We'll ensure you understand what's going on today, why your shopping is getting more expensive or why your pay doesn't cover your bills. We'll also bring you surprising histories, from the war-hungry kings who have shaped how things are counted today to the greedy merchants flooding Spain with silver coins. So if your eyes usually glaze over when someone says 'cutting taxes stimulates growth', fear no more, we've got you covered.

Trump’s 25% tariffs on US car imports could threaten 25,000 UK jobs

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Institute for Public Policy Research said the President’s levies on UK-made cars entering the US would put ‘extreme pressure’ on Britain’s car makers’.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From buyers to dealers, the effects of the tariffs will be widespread, for better or for worse, experts say.

In the US, there are 908 motor vehicles per 1,000 people. About 92% of households own a vehicle.

Car ownership is typically higher in the US than in Europe, surveys suggest, partly because, in the absence of extensive public transport, many Americans have no other choice of how to get around.

Cars are also more than just a means of transportation. As symbols of both freedom and success, cars have a unique place in the national identity, from the show Pimp My Ride to Janice Joplin singing "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz".

John Heitmann, a University of Dayton professor and automobile historian, who in his free time likes to polish his 1982 Mercedes SL, said that tariffs will have an existential, as well as an economic, impact.

"New cars are really out of the reach of a good number of Americans to begin with," he told the BBC.

"Consumers will not benefit, prices will go up," particularly amongst more affordable vehicles made in Korea, like Hyundais, he said.

As a vintage-car enthusiast, he said tariffs have added a layer of uncertainty to his hobby.

"About 50 minutes ago, I got an email from a part supplier in the UK saying, 'Don't worry... they're not going to go up, probably'," he said.

"'We haven't seen anything in writing yet.' That's what they said."

Higher-end imported vehicles, such as Audis, BMWs and Mercedes, will increase in price, too, Prof Heitmann said, though many of those who buy from such brands might be able to absorb a heftier price tag.

"Workers united, will never be defeated!" a man shouts into a loud hailer. He is part of a crowd marching through the streets of Manchester in a May Day parade, organised by some of Britain's biggest trade unions.

The sun is shining and there's a festival atmosphere, as his fellow marchers hold aloft placards about workers' rights and fair pay.

Among the marchers is Jason Wyatt, a steelworker from South Wales. He is here to shine a spotlight on what's happening in his hometown of Port Talbot, where several thousand of his colleagues are facing redundancy.

There's applause as Jason takes to the stage.

"They are trying to destroy the livelihoods of 2,800 people," he says. "Port Talbot is the last bastion of heavy industry in South Wales. We have to fight."

There has been a steelworks in Port Talbot, which sits on the south coast of Wales, for 125 years.

These days the large, sprawling site is owned by Tata Steel, an Indian company which employs around half of its 8,000 workforce in Port Talbot.

The local economy is heavily reliant on the manufacturing sector, which provides approximately a fifth of jobs in the area, according to Welsh government figures.

But the British steel industry has struggled to remain competitive in a fierce global market, and that means uncertain futures for communities like Port Talbot.

In 2019, the UK produced seven million tonnes of steel, behind seven EU nations - including Germany's 40 million tonnes. Meanwhile, China produced 996 million tonnes.

Steelworks also cost huge amounts to run because they use massive amounts of energy.

The Port Talbot plant has, by far, the biggest bill and uses as much electricity, for example, as the whole of the city of Swansea a few miles along the motorway.

The sums do not add up, says Tata Steel. It claims its UK business loses £1m a day.

The other huge issue facing the company, and its Port Talbot plant, is how polluting it is. The steelworks is the single biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in Britain.

And Tata thinks that by moving away from its existing coal-powered blast furnace to a greener way of making steel - using scrap metal as fuel - it could reduce the UK's entire carbon emissions by around 1.5 per cent.

The UK government has agreed to pay Tata £500m towards the building of a new electric arc furnace.

But to do that, Tata says it needs to shut down the two remaining blast furnaces, resulting in the loss of 2,800 jobs.

The drive to go green is costing jobs in Port Talbot. And that's a dilemma that companies across the UK - and around the world - are facing.

"Tata are asking people to save the business with a forfeit in their jobs. It's awful," says Jason, who has worked at the Port Talbot plant for 25 years.

It is estimated that around 1.3 million workers in carbon-intensive so-called "brown" jobs will need to adapt to cleaner technologies and processes, according to the Resolution Foundation think tank.

But the numbers on the cost of going green are disputed.

The TUC estimates that 800,000 manufacturing and supply chain jobs could be axed without support from the government.

While the Climate Change Committee, an independent body set up by the government in 2008, says anywhere between 8,000 and 75,000 jobs could go in the transition.

The government says the UK is the first major economy to halve its emissions - and is leading the way in the transformation of the energy industry, with over 80,000 green jobs currently supported or in the pipeline since 2020.

"Much of the transferable expertise from industries such as steelworks and oil and gas will be crucial for the transition to net zero," a government spokesperson said.

"And our Green Jobs Plan will ensure we have the sufficient skills to tackle emerging and future workforce demands across the economy."

Inside the plant, it's hot and the smell of sulphur hangs in the air, a by-product of the manufacturing process. Peter Quinn is leading Tata's move to green steel.

He says the idea that its arc furnace could be up and running in four years is still "approximate" and that consultations with stakeholders, including the workers, would need to be completed first.

The unions and local politicians have called on Tata to keep one blast furnace operational while the new one is built. But Tata says that is not cost-effective.

Quinn says the only other option is abandoning steelmaking in Port Talbot altogether.

Jason thinks Tata should opt for a more gradual transition that would avoid the need to make redundancies.

"We're not opposing the green steel agenda," he says. "What we're opposing is the way in which we're transitioning."

This shift is already impacting his family. His son, Tyler, is 19 and had hoped to apply for an apprenticeship at Tata.

"I'm at a point in my life where I need to start securing my future, buy a house and settle somewhere," says Tyler. "But it's too risky now to think that there are opportunities [at Tata] for me."

As Jason and his family take a windswept walk on the town's beach with their dogs, their gaze is drawn towards the harbour where the cranes used to unload iron ore from around the world, dominate the view.

But out to sea, hope could be on the horizon. There are plans for a huge wind farm in the Celtic Sea with enough wind turbines to power four million homes.

And Tata hopes it can make the football pitch-sized platforms that the turbines will sit on.

But this potential new chapter in the story of Britain's journey to a greener economy still seems too far away for the steelworkers.

Ashley Curnow, a divisional manager for Associated British Ports in Wales, hopes the towns along the shore like Port Talbot will benefit from the new development.

"I understand there's an immense amount of worry at the moment throughout the community, and I think our role in this project is to deliver the project, as soon as we can and bring those job opportunities forward."

At home, Jason and his family reflect on what the future might hold.

His wife, Stacey, thinks Tata is treating its workers unfairly.

"I think it's wrong what Tata Steel are doing to their workers. They don't really care about how it's going to affect people and their families."

"It's a hard time for all of us," Jason adds. "We've got to fight to protect our livelihoods".

Some small businesses that received tax breaks for their innovation work are now being chased to pay the money back.

HMRC is reassessing past research and development (R&D) tax relief claims, after underestimating the level of error and fraud over many years.

Business groups say the process is being "mishandled" and is "crippling" small firms.

The tax authority said it has to make sure that claimants are entitled to the reliefs.

It only seeks to recover money where it hasn't been claimed legally, it added.

Dhruvin Patel is being asked to return £49,000 he got for his start-up.

"R&D relief was a great opportunity for innovating my business," says Mr Patel, "but these retrospective challenges mean start-ups will actually shy away from innovating."

Optometrist and entrepreneur Mr Patel, the founder of Ocushield, received the money in 2022 for work during 2020-21 on a potential new lighting product, a portable device which would project light that looked like daylight, even though it filtered out shorter wavelength blue light.

In January 2023 he got a "notice of enquiry", informing him that a compliance check on his claim found similar products already in existence.

Mr Patel says that the product he was working on was innovative at the time. He has almost finished developing it but hasn't brought it to market yet.

The dispute is now going to arbitration.

"For start-ups like us it's time, resources, mental bandwidth and, if we lose, it's cash too," says Mr Patel.

He knows several companies facing the same situation and the BBC understands thousands may be affected.

Many small businesses have been in touch about this issue, according to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).

"It's very clear that HMRC is mishandling its approach to past and present R&D claims in a way that undermines the innovative small firms who are needed if we are to grow our economy," says Tina McKenzie, policy chair for the FSB.

"The tax authority needs to recognise the importance of a predictable and supportive tax environment for those businesses at the cutting edge of technological change, which are increasingly small firms."

Dom Hallas, executive director of Startup Coalition, a lobby group for tech start-ups, is aware of this trend too. "These retrospective challenges on R&D tax relief are widespread in the start-up community and crippling," he says.

R&D tax credits were introduced in 2000 and are designed to help start-up companies, by giving them tax relief when they invest in innovation.

However, it has been reported that in recent years some companies have been abusing the system.

HMRC has estimated that more than £1bn was lost to error and fraud in tax relief to smaller businesses at the height of the pandemic in 2020-21, the year Mr Patel made his claim.

The National Audit Office spending watchdog recommended in January "compliance work on older claims" for the R&D scheme because HMRC had underestimated for years the level of error and fraud.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt committed to improve the functioning of the R&D tax relief system in the Budget, announcing a new expert advisory panel to support HMRC in the scheme.

"We've seen a rise in these retrospective enquiries in the past six months and they are scary for companies," says Benedict Conry, R&D tax lead at the law firm SeedLegals.

He is not surprised that the R&D tax relief scheme has proved problematic to implement.

It is not straightforward to claim, or administer, he says. "It can be bewildering for start-ups and even some very experienced accountants don't understand it and won't touch it."

One big problem relates to how you define "innovation", says Mr Conry. "It can be very subjective and the grey areas quite large."

All of this matters because if genuinely innovative start-ups can thrive, this will benefit the economy. But if some companies abuse the scheme to cut their tax bill, this takes money out of the public purse, which could otherwise be spent on things like hospitals and schools.

HMRC told the BBC that it could not comment on individual cases, but said in a statement: "We recognise the importance of R&D in driving innovation and economic growth and we are determined to ensure that the claims process is straightforward for genuine claimants.

"We have to make sure that claimants are entitled to the reliefs they claim and will only seek to recover money where it hasn't been claimed in accordance with the law."

Well, it turns out it's not a bug that broke iPhone web apps, also known as progressive web apps (PWAs), in the EU. Following developer complaints and press reports about how PWAs were no longer functional in the EU after installing the most recent iOS betas, Apple has updated its website to explain why. No surprise, the tech giant is blaming the new EU regulation, the Digital Markets Act, for the change, saying that the complexities involved with the DMA's requirement to allow different browser engines is the root cause.

To catch you up, security researcher Tommy Mysk and Open Web Advocacy first noticed that PWAs had been demoted to website shortcuts with the release of the second beta of iOS 17.4. Initially, it was unclear if this was a beta bug - stranger things have happened - or if it was intended to undermine the functionality of PWAs in the EU, a market where Apple is now being forced to allow alternative app stores, third-party payments, and alternative browser engines, among other things. In the betas, PWAs, which typically allow web apps to function and feel more like native iOS apps, were no longer working. Developers noticed that these web apps would open like a bookmark saved to your Home Screen instead.

As MacRumors pointed out at the time, that meant no "dedicated windowing, notifications, or long-term local storage"; iOS16.4 also allowed PWAs to badge their icons with notifications, as native apps could. Beta users of iOS 17.4 reported that when they opened a web app while running the iOS beta, the system would ask them if they wanted to open the app in Safari or cancel. The message indicates that the web app will "open in your default browser from now on," it said. Afterward, users said they experienced issues with data loss, as a Safari website shortcut doesn't offer local storage. Notifications also no longer worked.

Still, there was reason to be cautious about whether or not the change was intentional. Multiple staff at TechCrunch repeatedly asked Apple for comment but received no reply. (We had wanted to know if the company would confirm if this was a beta bug or an intentional change, and if the latter, what Apple's reasoning for it was.) After the next beta release emerged, The Verge ran a report indicating that Apple "appears to be " breaking PWAs in the EU, after also not likely getting a formal response from the tech giant.

Now Apple has responded, in its way. Today, it updated its website detailing its DMA-related changes in the EU to address the matter. In a new update, the company explains how it's had to make so many changes to the iOS to comply with the EU guidelines that continued support for PWAs was simply off the table.

Traditionally, the iOS system provided support for Home Screen web apps by building directly on WebKit (Safari's browser engine) and its security architecture, Apple said. That allowed web apps to align with the same security and privacy models as found in other native apps. But with the DMA, Apple is being forced to allow alternative browser engines. It argues that without the isolation and enforcement of the rules applied to WebKit-based web apps, malicious apps could be installed that could do things like read data from other web apps or "gain access to a user's camera, microphone or location without a user's consent," Apple said.

"Addressing the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps using alternative browser engines would require building an entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS and was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps. And so, to comply with the DMA's requirements, we had to remove the Home Screen web apps feature in the EU," the website reads.

The company informs EU users they will be able to access websites from their Home Screen through bookmarks as a result of the change, confirming developers' concerns that PWAs were effectively being disabled in the EU.

"We expect this change to affect a small number of users. Still, we regret any impact this change - that was made as part of the work to comply with the DMA - may have on developers of Home Screen web apps and our users," Apple says.

Critics have argued that Apple's desire to hold on to its power in the iOS app ecosystem was so strong that it would break web app functionality for users of its devices. Apple's defenders, meanwhile, will probably argue that the company's explanation is reasonable and aligns with Apple's desire to keep iOS safe for its users. The truth, as it often does, likely lies more in the middle.

Apple still has not responded to requests for comment.
