Prepping for BBC Radio 5 Live, discussing what tariffs mean for you. It has been a busy time for broadcast - but the message is the same: keep calm and focus on the long term.

Red letter day getting called legendary by Peter. And of course talking to the actual legend that is @paullewismoney.
What could this week's trade war-inspired market moves mean for your money? @paullewismoney asks the legendary @ustewart and equally legendary @sarahecoles for this week's BBC @Moneybox. https://t.co/KsICq68nTU
About to go on air with @Moneybox to talk about the impact of the market turmoil on your pocket - plus possible extra protection for your savings. As ever, delighted it’s radio and nobody can see I’m taking a break from my epic painting job! https://t.co/Xyd56jmEpW
