Podcast appearances and mentions of Boris Johnson

Former Home Secretary who chose principle over position, Amber Rudd has spent much of her life at the centre of power. From banking to frontbench politics, her career has spanned the high-stakes worlds of business, government and Brexit-era turmoil.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Amber to reflect on the decisions, mistakes and tensions that shaped her time in office. From her alliance with Theresa May to her public resignation from Boris Johnson's Cabinet, Amber offers an unusually frank look at what it means to hold power- and when to walk away from it.She speaks candidly about the human cost of leadership, the moral complexity of the Home Office, and the fallout of political compromise. And she reflects on what it takes to recover- personally and professionally- from being publicly vilified.Grounded, introspective and refreshingly sincere, Amber revisits the pressure points of her political life, the people who've shaped her, and why disagreement doesn't have to mean disloyalty.She also shares why she's returned to public conversation with The Crisis Room- a new podcast co-hosted with journalist Mark Urban and former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos. Each week, the team unpicks the biggest crises shaping the UK and the world. With insider perspectives drawn from the gritty underbelly of investigative reporting, the corridors of Westminster and the shadowy realm of intelligence, they break down what's really happening behind the headlines, and what's at stake for our future.Listen to The Crisis Room here

Nadine Dorries is one of the most recognisable Conservative politicians from the past two decades. Elected as the MP for Mid Bedfordshire in 2005, she notably clashed with David Cameron and George Osborne (who she called ‘two arrogant posh boys') and lost the whip in 2012 when she took part in the reality show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Loyal to Boris Johnson, she served in his government and rose to be Culture Secretary. She stood down in 2023 and went on to write about politics in the bestselling books The Plot and Downfall.On the podcast, Nadine tells the Spectator's executive editor Lara Prendergast about her memories of tinned burgers and Sunday lunches as a child, working long shifts as a nurse in Warrington and what it was like spending a year in Zambia. She also explains the ‘relentless' but ‘collegiate' atmosphere of Parliament and how she once saw a mouse at the Commons' salad bar. Nadine explains what it is like to have recently used the weight-loss jab Mounjaro and why, in her family, she is still the ‘queen of the Sunday roast'.Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast.

Rachel Reeves has finally delivered her much-anticipated Spending Review, but has it done anything to shift Labour's story? George Osborne calls it “continuity Sunak,” arguing that the big spending pledges are less a break from the past and more a continuation of Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak's economic path. Ed Balls says Reeves is taking ‘a real gamble' without ‘any insurance', boxing herself in with big promises, uncertain growth, and no room to manoeuvre.With defence and the NHS coming out on top, and departments like the Foreign Office facing deep cuts, what does this Review tell us about Labour's true priorities? And can the party really keep these pledges without raising taxes or breaking its own fiscal rules?Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Donald Trump is making headlines once again, this time for turning on his old ally Elon Musk and deploying troops into LA over immigration protests. Ed and George assess what it all means for the UK's relationship with Trump, the future of US-UK diplomacy, and Starmer's carefully built transatlantic strategy.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

The Three Old Hacks talk political memoirs this week. Were they always as salacious, and as quickly turned round post-administration as they are now?Barely has the imprint of the politician's backside faded from the leather of the despatch box before somebody is telling all.Former BBC Sports editor Mihir Bose, Economics editor of The Sunday Times and political analyst Nigel Dudley discuss Sarah Vine's book How Not to be a Political Wife. She and her then husband Michael Gove were close to David and Samantha Cameron before the Brexit referendum ended the friendship, and she says, her marriage.The Three Old Hacks look back fondly to the days when MI5 put it about that Prime Minister Harold Wilson was a communist in thrall to Russia and everyone thought he was sleeping with his secretary, when in fact it was another woman altogether.Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!

A extrema direita não cresce sozinha - ela é também normalizada. O Partido Trabalhista britânico, sob Keir Starmer, parece acreditar que pode conter esse avanço adotando seu vocabulário e sua visão de senso comum — mas, ao fazer isso, só acelera o que diz combater. O primeiro-ministro britânico Keir Starmer gosta de dizer que está do lado do “senso comum”. A frase parece inofensiva, mas revela muito sobre a estratégia atual do Partido Trabalhista — uma estratégia que aposta que, para conquistar votos, basta se aproximar do discurso da extrema direita, como se o povo já pensasse como ela. Mas o senso comum não está dado de antemão: ele é sempre construído. E ao presumir que esse senso comum é contra a imigração, contra ações afirmativas, contra o Estado social, o Labour não disputa ideias — apenas cede terreno.Quando Starmer venceu as eleições no ano passado, muitos celebraram o fim do desgaste acumulado de sucessivos governos conservadores. Mas desde o início, era possível perceber as limitações da cúpula trabalhista, que passara os anos anteriores removendo qualquer vestígio da agenda progressista do antigo líder Jeremy Corbyn e expurgando dissidentes à esquerda. Esse gesto, apresentado como sinal de responsabilidade, já era um prenúncio do que viria: concessões sistemáticas à retórica da extrema direita.Essa naturalização do discurso adversário é o que se chama de “normalização”. Ela ocorre, primeiro, quando a própria extrema direita tenta parecer respeitável — como se soubesse “comer com talheres”, suavizando o tom e se apresentando como porta-voz da “maioria silenciosa”. Mas o passo mais decisivo se dá quando partidos tradicionais aceitam que a extrema direita representa o tal “senso comum” — e, a partir disso, adotam suas ideias, seu vocabulário e suas prioridades. Assim, acabam legitimando esse discurso. E isso não é exclusividade da direita.Se os conservadores britânicos flertaram abertamente com o extremismo sob Boris Johnson, Liz Truss e Rishi Sunak — que fez da luta contra a imigração sua principal bandeira —, agora é o Partido Trabalhista que parece decidido a seguir o mesmo caminho. Em sua tentativa de se reconciliar com um pretenso “centro” dito “moderado”, o governo liderado por Keir Starmer tem mantido cortes em programas sociais, retrocedido em políticas de inclusão — como as ações afirmativas, tachadas de “woke” — e endurecido o discurso contra a imigração.Como se não bastasse, Starmer elogiou publicamente a primeira-ministra italiana Giorgia Meloni — cuja trajetória vem diretamente da tradição neofascista —, apontando sua política anti-imigração como exemplo para a Europa. Em maio, afirmou que a Grã-Bretanha corria o risco de se tornar “uma ilha de estranhos”, ecoando, talvez de forma involuntária, o célebre discurso de Enoch Powell, um dos fundadores do racismo político moderno no Reino Unido.Essa guinada busca reconquistar os votos populares que teriam migrado para partidos de extrema direita como o Reform UK, de Nigel Farage. Mas essa aposta repousa sobre uma série de equívocos. O primeiro é uma caricatura paternalista da classe trabalhadora, tratada, ainda que implicitamente, como inerentemente branca e reacionária — o que os dados não confirmam: os trabalhadores britânicos são diversos, tanto em origem quanto em posicionamento político.Discurso linha duraAlém disso, embora a esquerda tenha perdido votos em vários países da Europa, isso se deve, em grande parte, a um aumento da abstenção — e não a uma migração direta para partidos reacionários. O segundo equívoco é a crença de que eleitores atraídos pela retórica da extrema direita passarão a votar na esquerda, desde que ela adote um discurso linha-dura. A história e os dados mostram o contrário: nesses casos, o eleitorado tende a preferir o original à cópia.Enquanto isso, o Reform UK avança. Pesquisas recentes mostram o movimento de Farage empatado — ou mesmo à frente — dos conservadores, atualmente em colapso político e rendidos ideologicamente. As projeções mais recentes já indicam o Reform UK como possível principal força de oposição, superando os conservadores em intenções de voto.Nas eleições locais de 2025, o Reform UK conquistou centenas de cadeiras, passou a controlar dez conselhos locais — equivalentes a prefeituras — e venceu duas eleições regionais. Em certos cenários, já se vislumbra até a possibilidade de maioria parlamentar nas próximas eleições gerais. Não se trata de um crescimento pontual, mas de uma ameaça concreta ao bipartidarismo que estruturou a política britânica por décadas.Diante disso, a resposta do Labour soa não apenas ineficaz, mas politicamente míope: ao adotar a linguagem da extrema direita, o partido não a enfraquece — ao contrário, reforça suas premissas e amplia seu alcance. E o mais grave: o Partido Trabalhista não está acuado. Ao contrário do que ocorre em países como o Brasil, o governo não está refém de um parlamento fragmentado. O Labour tem hoje uma supermaioria em Westminster. Ainda assim, age como se estivesse sitiado — e, ao responder com concessões ideológicas, apenas alimenta a tendência que diz temer. Não se trata de uma estratégia imposta pelas circunstâncias. É uma escolha — e, sobretudo, um erro de quem dispõe de capital político, mas prefere gastá-lo imitando os adversários.Ao naturalizar o discurso da extrema direita, o Partido Trabalhista não apenas cede terreno político: reforça a hegemonia cultural do inimigo. Abandona a disputa pelo que pode ser dito. Pelo que pode ser pensado. Pelo que ainda pode ser imaginado. No entanto, o verdadeiro combate político exige reinventar esse espaço — construir um novo senso comum. Mais do que isso, talvez o desafio seja — como escreveu Hannah Arendt — construir um senso de comunidade, enraizado na pluralidade, na abertura aos que ficaram à margem, aos humilhados, aos que o mundo aprendeu a ignorar.

Gerald is founder of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of The Trends Journal. He holds nothing back as usual with an insightful assessment of the general quality of global leadership. Celente, who has spent 45 years forecasting trends, describes world leaders as "clowns" and "scum," citing examples like Boris Johnson in the UK, Emmanuel Macron in France, and Gerhard Schröder in Germany. He argues that these leaders are failing to address systemic issues, with the middle class in decline and wealth inequality on the rise. Celente highlights the impact of globalization and free trade agreements like NAFTA, which he believes have hollowed out American manufacturing and enriched corporations at the expense of workers. He also critiques the consolidation of media power under past administrations, noting that six companies now control 92% of U.S. media. In terms of economic trends, Celente discusses the rise of gold as a safe-haven asset, with prices expected to hit $4,000 an ounce due to geopolitical tensions and inflation. He expresses skepticism about tariffs, arguing they won't revive American manufacturing and will instead harm small businesses. Celente also warns of the dangers of AI-driven economic bubbles and the potential collapse of equity markets. Geopolitically, Celente focuses on the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, which he believes will drive oil prices to $120 per barrel and further destabilize global markets. He warns of the growing risk of nuclear annihilation, particularly between Israel and Iran, calling it a "doomsday scenario." Celente concludes by advocating for personal resilience, urging listeners to prioritize physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. He also calls for a renaissance in values, emphasizing the importance of truth, integrity, and ethical leadership in rebuilding society.

Nigel Farage could "definitely" become prime minister at the next general election. That's according to Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson's former chief advisor, who says he has held meetings with the Reform UK leader and advised him on how to go from "one man and an iPhone" to holding the keys to Downing Street.  On the Sky News Daily, Liz Bates speaks to Mr Cummings about the current state of British politics, why the public feels let down, and who Mr Farage needs to recruit if he wants to be the next prime minister. Warning: contains strong language.

With tensions simmering in Keir Starmer's top team over Labour's approach to the economy, this week host Patrick Baker looks at what the PM might be able to learn about managing your ministers from past Cabinets and examines Starmer's own leadership style. David Owen, former foreign secretary under Jim Callaghan, recounts the IMF crisis in 1976 as an example of Cabinet government at its most effective. Michael Cockerell, the legendary political documentary-maker, describes how Margaret Thatcher and John Major approached their Cabinets and how, despite their contrasting styles, both were undone by their Cabinet ministers in the end. Clare Short, who resigned as Tony Blair's international development secretary over the war in Iraq, argues Blair sidelined the Cabinet as a decision-making body from the beginning of his premiership, preferring instead to rely on a small coterie of advisers or what became known as ‘sofa government'. Cleo Watson, Boris Johnson's former deputy chief of staff, takes us through the Cabinet dynamics of the Johnson era and how Chief Adviser Dominic Cummings saw Cabinet as a rubber-stamping exercise, rather than where the real decisions of government would be taken. Sonia Khan, former adviser to ex-Chancellor Sajid Javid, says ministers often had to linger by the toilet or attend social gatherings to have any chance of influencing Boris Johnson. Luke Sullivan, Keir Starmer's political director while in opposition, says the prime minister likes to let his cabinet ministers get on with their jobs and to solve problems before they reach his desk. And Patrick Maguire, political columnist at The Times and author of ‘Get In: The Inside Story of Labour Under Starmer' delves into the curious dynamics of this current Labour Cabinet and explains how Keir Starmer's leadership style might create a vacuum for others to fill.

To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked  Keir Starmer's ‘Brexit reset' is a comprehensive betrayal of the Leave vote. That's the verdict of Lord Frost, former chief Brexit negotiator for Boris Johnson. Here, he tells spiked why this is such a bad deal for Britain. Frost slams Starmer for handing control over food, fishing, energy and more to Brussels, and for so little in return. This surrender to the EU, he warns, is dangerous for democracy, sovereignty and the UK economy. 

Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan, and Jo Tanner discuss the U-turn on winter fuel payments for pensioners, the implications of this decision, and the broader context of UK politics. They reflect on the Labour Party's performance, the economic situation, and the upcoming EU-UK reset deal, highlighting the challenges and pressures faced by the current government. We're joined by Alexander Stafford, a former Conservative MP and former Parliamentary Private Secretary to Boris Johnson and Kemi Badenoch…to discuss the recent reset of the UK-EU relationship following Brexit, focusing on a new three-part deal aimed at enhancing cooperation on security, defence, and trade. The conversation explores the implications of this deal, including the perceived winners and losers, the impact on businesses, food security, and the fishing industry, as well as the political ramifications and public perception surrounding the agreement.

The Prime Minister has, in his words, struck a "win-win" deal with the European Union which will begin a "new era" in UK-EU relations, arguing that he's "delivering what the British public voted for last year".The big problem is that, by allowing EU boats access to UK fishing waters until 2038 and agreeing to align with EU food standards, Starmer seems to be ignoring what the British public actually voted for back in 2016.There's no doubt that this is another step moving the UK closer to the bloc - but are we now on a path back into the EU as many suspect Starmer would like?

With Nigel Farage's Reform UK muscling in to key parts of the country, Westminster Insider Host Sascha O'Sullivan speaks to politicians through the North of England, where Labour has an uphill battle to convince their heartlands they can be trusted. Sascha speaks to Labour MP Josh Simons, whose seat of Makerfield had one of the highest proportion of votes for Reform without actually voting in one of the party's MP. Simons tells Sascha about his plans to convince his voters that Westminster – and the Labour Party – speak for them, and how finally building one road, first earmarked as necessary in 1949, could be a symbol for this. And Sascha heads to Darlington, in the North East of the country, where Labour MP Lola McEvoy has competition from Reform, who took over the council in County Durham just 5 miles south, and the Tory stronghold of Tees `Valley, led by Mayor Ben Houchen. Labour MP and member of the Blue Labour group Jonathan Hinder explains why Labour has become disconnected from it's working class roots in the North and how practical initiatives and investment will only go so far. Zoe Billingham, director of the IPPR North, tells Sascha why Boris Johnson's "levelling up" agenda spoke to these voters and how the failure to deliver on many of these promises made Labour's challenge harder. Former Tory MP for Boston and Skegness Matt Warman explains how Reform UK managed to win his constituency – and what it will take for some of these Labour MPs to fend them off.

It's day five of recriminations after the local elections, with politicians, pollsters and journalists alike still trying to make sense of what just happened. On today's podcast, Rachel Wolf gives her verdict: we should not be shocked by Reform's surge. She argues that Nigel Farage's success should have been predicted – that it's the same, distinctly anti-political silent majority who ‘surprised' us during Brexit, ‘surprised' us in 2019 and are ‘surprising' us now.  How will Labour respond? Will they U-turn on winter fuel? And is Boris Johnson the only one who can win back these disillusioned voters for the Tories? Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Rachel Wolf, CEO of Public First and former adviser to Boris Johnson. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElroy.

Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy have a Friday episode to take stock of the by-election, mayoral and local election results so far. Sam's pulled an all-nighter to cover Reform's victory in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election – it won by just six seats. It won the Greater Lincolnshire mayoralty too.  So it's a morning of questions to ponder – how do bigger parties respond to the Reform victories?Could a Starmer visit to Runcorn have secured the few votes needed for victory there? And is Labour focussing on Reform voters at the expense of people at the other end of the political spectrum? Plus, with lots of councils that were controlled by the Conservatives still to declare, at what point does someone mention Boris Johnson? 

En el Reino Unido se confirma el ascenso del partido de extrema derecha de Nigel Farage a costa del Partido Conservador y la fragmentación del electorado en unas elecciones municipales que son el primer termómetro de cara a unos comicios generales.Guillermo Fernández Vázquez, doctor en ciencia política y profesor en la universidad Carlos III explica en Las Mañanas que estos avances son "fruto del agotamiento y del cansancio con los partidos tradicionales. Se ve muy bien en las elecciones del Reino Unido. Boris Johnson consiguió en su día un buen resultado comiéndose a la ultraderecha, y resulta que la ultraderecha se ha comido a los conservadores. Un pésimo negocio", asegura y ha insistido en que "el rígido sistema partidista británico se está abriendo a otros partidos". Sobre las elecciones en Rumanía, Fernández Vázquez ha resaltado que hay dos partidos dentro del país que ejemplifican el sentimiento de emergencia nacional: "Uno es Salvar Rumanía y otro SOS Rumanía, ambos con porcentajes de voto notable. Allí hay sensación de que se hunde el país", relata. Escuchar audio

Join The Right Honorable Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2022, and Hoover Senior Fellow, H.R. McMaster, as they discuss the war in Ukraine, British and European politics, and the future of the transatlantic relationship. Reflecting on the special relationship between the US and UK, Johnson provides his thoughts on how the relationship is evolving and the importance of US-UK cooperation in tackling Chinese aggression, as well as the broad nature of geostrategic competition with the axis of aggressors of North Korea, China, Russia and Iran, the need for a strong coordinated international response to Russian aggression and why we should continue to care deeply about the war in Ukraine. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS The Right Honorable Boris Johnson served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2022. Johnson first entered Parliament in 2001, representing Henley for the Conservative Party. He quickly rose to become Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party in 2003. In 2008, he was elected Mayor of London, a position he held for two terms, overseeing significant urban development and leading the city through the 2012 Olympics. Johnson returned to national politics in 2015 and served as Foreign Secretary from 2016 to 2018. In 2019, he became the leader of the Conservative Party and assumed the role of Prime Minister. Under his leadership, Britain formally left the European Union, fulfilling the referendum mandate of 2016. In 2022, he stepped down as Prime Minister and, in 2023, resigned from Parliament. Johnson published his memoir, Unleashed, in 2024. H.R. McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is also the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute and lecturer at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. He was the 25th assistant to the president for National Security Affairs. Upon graduation from the United States Military Academy in 1984, McMaster served as a commissioned officer in the United States Army for thirty-four years before retiring as a Lieutenant General in June 2018.

As Channel crossings hit 10,000 this year and with Labour set for a drubbing in the local elections, the Government is scrambling to appear tough on immigration.New measures will make it harder for firms to hire from overseas and penalise bosses who break employment law. But will the plans really bring down immigration, let alone ‘smash the gangs' as Labour promised?Kamal and Camilla are joined by Lord Frost, Boris Johnson's Brexit negotiator, who says successive governments have failed to be strict enough with immigration controls.He also accuses Keir Starmer of handing powers back to the EU as part of his 'reset' with the bloc – while asking for nothing in return.We want to hear from you!

This episode begins with Jemma trying to find things to cheer Marina up with. Funnily enough, learning that Gove is getting a peerage doesn't do it, but the song Dame Andrea Jenkins has chosen to promote her bid to be Mayor nearly does. Then we're off to Scunthorpe where Labour have been trying to ensure that the furnaces don't go out for once and for all on British Steel. China have decided they aren't interested in it anymore, which is a huge reason to be furious with Boris Johnson (another one) because he sold it to them. With thousands of jobs at stake, Marina and Jemma wonder what might or might not happen. Then to the States, where Trump has been sitting down with a kindred spirit, the President of El Salvador, Bukele who is he paying to take people he wishes to deport and to house them in his Gulag like prisons. Hear the incredible moment Trump was caught on mic saying he would like him to take 'homegrowns' too. If only that was the only grim piece of news to come out of his adminstration but sadly......cut to, the SAVE act. Marina gives the lowdown on a piece of legislation which is almost akin to Handmaids Tale and yet might result in a surprising plot twist. Lots of underrated tweets and a wonderful pudding finish off the ep.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey

Katie Lam was elected as a new Conservative MP, for Weald of Kent, at the 2024 election. While studying at Cambridge she was president of the Cambridge Union and chairman of the Conservative Association, and she was later a special advisor – first under Boris Johnson in the business unit at Number 10, and then later working on counterterrorism with Suella Braverman. In between university and politics, she worked at Goldman Sachs and at AI-specialists Faculty, and she is also an accomplished lyricist and scriptwriter having co-written five musicals. She was appointed a Tory assistant whip last year when Kemi Badenoch took over as leader.   On the podcast, Katie talks to Katy Balls about attending Tory party conference with her dad, what Katy calls the ‘chief prefect vibes' of her CV and whether investment banking or politics is more cutthroat. Having started at Number 10 in 2019, she also talks about the highs and lows at the end of the Brexit negotiations and why the pandemic will probably be the hardest moment of her professional career – plus a mention of that incident with Dilyn the dog. Having a great-great grandfather who was a socialist politician and fierce critic of the Nazis, and who had to flee persecution, she also opens up about her family's influence on her politics and her values.  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

An MP for 35 years, Michael Heseltine served as Environment Secretary and then Defence Secretary in Margaret Thatcher's government. Following his well-publicised resignation in 1986, he returned to government under John Major and was Deputy Prime Minister for the last two years of Major's premiership. Once seen as a potential successor to Thatcher and Major, he has sat in the Lords since stepping down as an MP in 2001, and in recent years has been an outspoken critic of Brexit. Lord Heseltine sits down with James Heale to discuss his thoughts on the current Labour government, how to fix Britain's broken economy and why devolution should go further. ‘Deeply depressed' by attacks on the civil service – Britain's ‘rolls royce' – he provides his thoughts on various political leaders: Starmer is handling Trump well, Reeves is handling the economy badly, Badenoch is being overshadowed by foreign affairs, and Boris Johnson demonstrated he has ‘no integrity'. And on Thatcher, he says new information has vindicated him over the Westland affair and demonstrated her ‘complicity'. His new book, From Acorns to Oaks: An Urgent Agenda to Rebuild Britain, is out now. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

On 23 March 2020, then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the unprecedented decision to put the UK into lockdown. To mark the 5th anniversary of that announcement this weekend, we have brought together our editor Michael Gove – then a cabinet minister under Boris – and our associate editor Toby Young – an ardent critic of the decision – to answer the question, was the government right to lock down? Was the decision a necessary and reasonable health measure based on the available evidence at the time, or a significant and avoidable violation of civil liberties by a government that was meant to champion liberal freedoms? You decide. Produced and presented by Patrick Gibbons.

It's been five years since Boris Johnson announced the UK's first Covid-19 lockdown. How much did that strange time in our recent history change the world we live in today? What lessons have we learned? And what hasn't gone back to how it was before Covid-19 took hold of our lives? Christina Pagel is a professor of operational research at University College London and a member of Independent SAGE and joins the panel for an important two-part discussion.
