“Essentially a new epidemic?” IAN DUNT starts your week

Outdoor “mingling” is back but as the Government bets all on the vaccine, are they ignoring the danger of new COVID variants? And if/when it all goes wrong, will it somehow be Europe’s fault again? Plus the possible Labour reshuffle, the SNP vs the Alba Party and what Johnson’s affair with Jennifer Arcuri really means. Ian Dunt explains the week ahead. “The only Government strategy is the vaccine, and praying that no variants blow it to smithereens” “The only way the Government can countenance giving vaccines to Ireland is under a narrative of sticking it to Europe” “If anything good can come from Boris Johnson being PM, it will be a modernisation of life in Number 10”.” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison.
