In this episode Will is joined by Ian Mulheirn, the Executive Director for UK Policy and Chief Economist at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, to discuss a new paper published by the institute "Lockdown Lessons: Five Steps That Should Guide The UK's New Roadmap." They discuss the plan, how the government has responded to the pandemic, how things could be done differently, whether the March budget will impact restrictions and the comparison between the UK's vaccination programme and the EU's. This episode also includes an exclusive trailer for the Politics of Sound's March episode with Laurence Fox.
