Tax is an issue which none of us can avoid. It can spark furious debate, be the cause of sleepless nights, and it's just hastened the demise of a prime minister and her government. Few of us relish paying tax, but most accept that it's the price of living in a society. But can it ever be made fair? How much should the well-off be paying? And how is a religious faith meant to shape how its followers approach such questions? Roy Jenkins is joined by four guests to discuss the issues. Rebecca Reading is a tax specialist and partner at Lewis Golden. She's been a tax director for Price Waterhouse Cooper and Tata Steel. Ross Hendry is the CEO of CARE (Christian Action, Research and Education.) He trained in economics, and has held a variety of positions dealing with public policy. Sue Richardson is a Catholic and Chair of ‘Church Action for Tax Justice', whose latest campaign appeals for a one-off wealth tax on the country's richest people. Andy Hartropp is an economist and an Anglican minister, he's the author of ‘God's Good Economy.'

Announcing his Budget on Wednesday, the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, said that his measures would protect “the lowest-paid and most vulnerable”, who had been hit particularly hard by the pandemic. On the podcast this week, Ed Thornton talks to the director of Church Action for Tax Justice, Dr Justin Thacker, about whether the Budget lives up to Mr Sunak's claims. Dr Thacker assesses whether the tax measures in the Budget will actually generate the revenue needed to help those who are struggling financially, and asks whether enough is being done to fund areas such as social care and education.

Through Advent, we're posting short interviews each weekend with asylum-seekers who've been forced into destitution, and remembering that Jesus was born to a refugee couple. The final interview is with Katherine (23) from Burundi and her six-month-old son Brian.

I look at myself, I feel like I’m not human like them. Because I don’t have right to work, I don’t have right to do normal things like a normal person.” Church Action on Poverty’s Living Ghosts campaign, part of the Still Human Still Here coalition, is calling for an end to policies which force asylum-seekers into destitution.

The first interview is with Amar Hassan Albadawi from Sudan.Amar talks about his disappointment at how his asylum application was handled, and the distrust and isolation caused by the constant threat of deportation: “I go for interview without solicitor, without advice, without anything... After the interview, I get letter to leave the country, and my support was stopped without any reason... They can come to check any time because they have a key... and if they find that you have a friend in the house, they stop you working and take the house from you."
