51. How the Conservatives turned COVID into a national catastrophe

Season 1, Ep. 51

Around 1 in every 500 Britons have been killed by COVID-19: one of the worst death tolls and death rates on earth. But the horrors of Britain's worst crisis since World War II were not inevitable. A new book - Failures of State - by leading investigative journalists Jonathan Calvert and George Arbuthnott exposes the British government's catastrophic failures in horrifying detail. We talk about their revelations - which expose what should be regarded as the biggest peacetime scandal of modern times.

  • Jason Arday SMEARS Fall Apart

    09:35|
    Prof. Jason Arday was hounded to death after a media campaign so intense, so vitriolic, so unrelenting, that it went beyond what you’d expect if he was a Cabinet minister guilty of grave corruption or harm to others. But he wasn’t a Cabinet minister, he was a university professor the vast majority of people had never heard of, and he wasn’t guilty of corruption or harm to others.
