Let’s Go Outside?

There’s a new three-word slogan in town: “Build, build, build.” As the Government unlocks more sectors of public life, Boris Johnson is keen to finally put COVID-19 behind him and get on with governing. But will questions of competence and Cummings continue to cast a pall over the Government’s agenda? Plus: Will the Robert Jenrick affair blow up into an old-fashioned scandal? And is the Brexit extension deadline the real deadline? 

• “The Government still has some extraordinarily difficult questions on the economy coming up.” – Joe Owen
• “The idea that ‘If we announce it, it will happen’ has been a big failing of Government in this crisis.” – Jill Rutter

Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Joe Owen, Jill Rutter and Raphael Hogarth. Audio production by Alex Rees.
