Episode 7
George Arbuthnott and his colleague Jonathan Calvert, both of the The Sunday Times 'Insight Team', have written one of the most detailed accounts of the Coronavirus pandemic in the UK: FAILURES OF STATE (Mudlark press).
In this discussion George details some of the terrible mistakes made by the Johnson Government over the past two years, which led to the worst death toll and the worst economic consequences of any country in Europe.
Some of the results of their investigations are truly shocking. So it is worth listening to the whole of this slightly longer episode of RED TEAM. But you might need a stiff drink to hand.
(And sorry about the odd bark on the sound track - that was my dog Rory trying to get in on the act.)
