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.
