	Description:		We’re not building enough homes – about 100,000 too few every year. It makes housing unaffordable. To ‘help’, Barclays bank has decided to step in and offer 100% mortgages to first-time buyers. How quaintly 2007 is that? The other catch is that parents have to stump up some of their nest egg as part of the deal. Is this a good thing? Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce of This is Money and Share Radio’s Georgie Frost investigate. Also on the show: Just how big is the business of being a parent with children who can’t leave home without a bailout? Buy-to-let landlords are piling more financial misery on to tenants. Good news though for broadband customers – providers can’t lie about much it costs any more We take a look under the roof of the supermarket business and ask whether their loyalty cards are a spent entity Oh and our take on Leicester City, the football team that came from nowhere to win the Premiership: why the hell did bookies offer odds of 5,000 to 1 against that happening when there are only 20 teams in the league?
