Davis on Smexit, markets mull ECB, & more - with Jonathan Loynes
The Government's appeal over the triggering of Article 50 has drawn to a close. After week of closely-watched legal sparring, it is now up to the Supreme Court as to whether May can pull the UK out of the EU without parliamentary approval. Brexit is not the dish of the day over on the continent, however - European investors are instead tucking in to yesterday's policy decision from the European Central Bank. Draghi announced a trim to his quantitative easing programme, insisting the move isn't a taper à la the Fed's 2013 wind down. Back then, markets balked at the idea that the QE taps were being turned off. Are investors convinced this time is different? For this story and others shaping global markets today, Share Radio's Steve Clarke was joined in the studio by Jonathan Loynes, Chief Economist at Capital Economics.

Discontent over pace of Brexit threatens Tory safe seat
Tomorrow, voters go to the polls in Lincolnshire for the Sleaford and North Hykeham by-election. It came about due to the resignation of the Conservative MP Stephen Phillips, who was elected in 2015 with a 24,000 majority, so it may initially seem as though the seat will stay Tory. However, the constituency is very pro-Brexit, and as a result of slow Brexit negotiations, residents may stray away from their expected alliance. Share Radio's Glen Goodman spoke to John Curtice, Professor of Politics at the University of Strathclyde, for his thoughts on the by-election.

Drug bust: Pfizer fined for overcharging NHS
The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has been fined a record £84m for charging the NHS too much for an anti-epilepsy drug. Share Radio's Glen Goodman spoke with Angus Macculloch, Senior Lecturer of EU & UK Competition Law at Lancaster University for some clarification on the issue. Namely, how is it the Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) determined Pfizer had been overcharging? Are public institutions like the NHS prone to being overcharged in this way?

ECB trims QE, bad news for bookies, & more - with Tom Stevenson
The ECB has given a policy decision today: its quantitative easing (QE) programme will be scaled back from €80bn to €60bn a month. For some, this looks a lot like a taper - and, when the US embarked on such a policy in 2013, markets balked, interpreting the move as a harbinger of the end of ultra-loose monetary policy. Is QE being wound down? For this story and others shaping markets today, Share Radio's Ed Bowsher was joined in the studio by Tom Stevenson, Investment Director at Fidelity International.
