Lockdown II: If the Government can’t come up with a COVID exit strategy, could a coalition of MPs, experts and campaigners provide one? And can Britain cope even if we never get a vaccine? March for Change director Tom Brufatto tells Naomi Smith about the the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Coronavirus’s plan for an independent COVID plan, and why we can’t squander the next full lockdown… which is coming whether we like it or not.

This podcast recorded before Saturday’s announcement of the November Lockdown.

“We are trapped in a cycle of locking down and opening up. It’s means we can’t function as an economy.”
“Either you see it as leaving lives versus the economy – or you accept that you can’t save the economy without saving lives first.”
“We may not have a vaccine next year, or ever. This is about setting Britain up to cope with it.”

Presented by Naomi Smith. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Logo and branding by Mark Taylor. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters production
