Episode description
The government's has refused to learn from its catastrophic mistakes - and it's not looking good. The so-called Delta variant - which originated in India - is now dominant and positive cases have surged by over 46% in a week. Will the mass vaccination programme stop a new surge in hospitalisations and death - or are we heading not just for a delay of 'freedom day', but the reimposition of restrictions?
Joining me is Professor Deenan Pillay from Independent SAGE - and James Meadway, Director of the Progressive Economy Forum, to talk about the economic and political consequences of COVID-19.
