Scapegoats or snowflakes?

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

The Foreign Office is trying to manage another tricky evacuation of UK nationals from an increasingly dangerous situation – so how well is it responding to the crisis in Sudan? And why did the Treasury end up creating a “tug of war” at the heart of government during the Covid pandemic? A major new IfG report reveals all. Hannah White presents. With Cath Haddon, Alex Thomas, Tim Durrant and Gemma Tetlow. Produced by Milo Hynes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
