NI named as 'most economically equal part of UK'. Is that good news? @ckarkkent and @JeffreyPeel discuss

Northern Ireland is the most economically equal part of the UK. That's the suggestion from new research carried out for the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action. It shows that the richest 10% of households here have incomes 4.2 times higher than the poorest 10% - for Great Britain the ratio is 5.1. The main reason for the difference is that Northern Ireland's highest earning households earn less than the highest earning households in GB. A lot of people will see economic equality as a good thing. But those who consider them capitalists might disagree. Stephen got the views of commentators Brian Pelan and Jeffrey Peel
