The Business: BA squeezes the unions

The high court decides to block a strike by BA's cabin crew; the coalition's first economic announcements; plus Osborne v Cable
  
  


A technicality prevents the British Airways strikes going ahead. But what does the ruling say about democracy and the power of the unions?

At last, we have a new government which says it's serious about cutting the national overdraft. We discuss George Osborne's new quango, the Office for Budget Responsibility.

Plus, we also look at the coalition's two top deficit-busters "Boy" George Osborne and "Saint" Vince Cable.

Head of business Dan Roberts, economics editor Larry Elliott and deputy City editor Jill Treanor are on the panel.

WARNING: contains strong language.
