On this episode Andy Silvester sits down with Michael Hewson of CMC Markets and Susannah Streeter of Hargreaves Lansdown for their fortnightly chat. Today they discuss the idea of a windfall tax on energy companies; the January surge in retail consumer spending; and finally Andrew Bailey's request for Britons not to ask for pay rises.

Andy also takes us through other important stories of the day -- BP CEO Bernard Looney has rallied against Labour's proposition of the aforementioned windfall tax; SoftBank is preparing to take its subsidiary ARM public; and there's news about Ofgem.
