Politicians get 'reward for serving America's interests' - Ken Livingstone (E137)

Published 2 Nov, 2014 05:43 | Updated 2 Nov, 2014 05:43

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on British policy abroad. Former London Mayor Ken Livingstone warns that we fight to serve American interests and politicians know they will be rewarded if they tow the American line. Paul Embery of the Fire Brigades Union warns that government pension reforms could lead to sackings 'en masse' for firefighters simply for getting old, and that is why they are striking this week. We reveal the answer to our Freedom of Information request to the government to find out just how many Britons are being held by the Islamic State. We take a look at PMQs, with immigration, tax dodging and Essex all on the agenda. And with the British state pension described as ‘one of the worst in Europe,’ we look at who’s profiting from your pension pot.
