Are bank accounts being closed because of people's political views?
It’s a claim made by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who’s at the centre of the story that’s led to the resignation of NatWest CEO Dame Alison Rose.
Dame Alison admitted she had made a mistake in speaking to the BBC about Farage's relationship with the bank.
BBC global trade correspondent Dharshini David is on to talk though her tenure, and Today programme presenter Nick Robinson, who’s just interviewed Farage, also joins the conversation to put it into political context.
And trainer enthusiast and collector Kish Kash talks all things trainers with Adam following the news of some rare Apple computer trainers going on sale for $50,000.
