On the show this week:

The big society - David Cameron's big idea but what is it?? Should it be a priority for the government and is it just a cover for cuts?

China is now the world's second biggest economy - should the rest of the world be worried?

The Conservative Party have been auctioning off student internships at a recent fundraising event - is this right? Does it contradict the government's message?

Plus more coverage of university funding!!

Let us know any views below. We are on air 6-7pm on Wednesday. Listen in!
