Driven To Tiers
First birthday edition! Is Boris Johnson’s tiers-based compromise on fighting COVID worse than simply biting the bullet of a national lockdown? Is Westminster command-and-control creating an irreparable breach between London, Scotland, Wales and the North of England? And does that road end in full devolution? JACK BLANCHARD, UK politics editor at politico.com, is our special guest.
“It’s very hard to find anyone who thinks the tiers approach is really going to work.” – Jack Blanchard
“We assume that the Government has good reasons for its approach, not just ‘We’re frightened of the lockdown sceptics’.” – Jill Rutter
“There is no worse way to win hearts and minds than to have scenes of angry disagreement like we saw this week.” – Jack Blanchard
Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Jill Rutter and Cath Haddon. Audio production by Alex Rees
