Start Your Week: LOCKDOWN SHOWDOWN with Naomi Smith

As Britain approaches the horrific landmark of 100,000 COVID deaths, will lockdown hawks force the Government to reopen the economy too soon – again? Plus the worsening mess in customs, import and export. Best for Britain launches a campaign to get COVID support to the 3m workers that Sunak forgot. And it’s bad news for hedgehogs as Chris Grayling takes up their case. Naomi Smith sets out the week ahead with Andrew Harrison.

• “The Covid Recovery Group is no more interested in our recovery from Covid than the European Research Group was in researching Europe.”
• “The best things in life are free, but for everything else there’s ‘sovereignty’.”
• “People won’t wake up until they have to pay customs via chip-and-pin at the doorstep.”
• “Rollback of workers’ rights is a Brexiteers’ wet dream.”

Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production
