Episode notes

As the UK becomes the first country in the world to authorise a Covid-19 vaccine, what will Britain look like after the coronavirus pandemic? The outbreak has seen a massive change in the economic landscape of the four nations, with most businesses relying upon a remote workforce and many companies closing altogether as we see further big losses to the high street and in the hospitality industry. Also if you can work from home - why pay the big bucks to live in the city? Polly Mackenzie is the Chief Exec of Demos, Britain's leading independent, cross-party think tank which hopes to 'bring Britain back together'.She tells Andy Bell that she's cautiously optimistic for the future but says it will certainly bring some change, including an adjustment to the housing market in big cities like London and Manchester.
