Roll Out To Help Out

from Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government · host Institute for Government

The world’s first green light for a COVID vaccine is a clear boost of the Government. But how can they ensure the right people take it without falling back on strong-arm tactics? Also, who’s rebelling against the Government’s COVID restrictions and why? Special guest Iain Dale – Conservative columnist and LBC presenter – explains how his new book The Prime Ministers names Britain’s good, bad and ugly Premiers. Will the end of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act open a Pandora’s Box of constitutional wrangling? And Brexit. It’s still not sorted.  “If there isn’t a Deal with the EU, it will be the biggest failure of statecraft in modern times.” – Iain Dale “When a government is upsetting its mainstream, moderate MPs it’s in trouble.” – Iain Dale “If the Government gets the vaccine rollout right, that’s a genuine reset. If they get it wrong, that’s a disaster.” – Alex Thomas “The worst kind of Prime Minister is an indecisive one.” – Iain Dale “It seems ridiculous that a Prime Minister can choose an election at a time they think they’re going to win… Except often, they choose the time and still lose.” – Iain Dale Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Alex Thomas and Maddy Thimont-Jack.
