Sam Freedman’s book Failed State is a detailed and fascinating view into the big problems currently within our governmental system. Sam worked alongside Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings within the Department of Education and saw first hand the issues our over centralised government has. 

I read the book over the summer and so I wanted to ask Sam more about his analysis - not just a list of issues but also to catergorise and anaylise the significance and impact of each problem. 

More importantly Sam explains to me so steps the new Labour government can take to improve how government functions.
