World Leading Except For The Rest Of The World - Johnson's not new new deal, opening pubs for the NHS, and Geoff Whelan on how COVID has hit the legal sector

Isn't it great that the government are doing the bare minimum you'd hope they'd do? I don't know just how to thank them for being ambitious and bailing out the arts after some theatres have already had to close and announcing a new plan that is exactly like the old plan but worse. This week Tiernan looks at the new old deal, Sunak's upcoming economic update and there's a chat with barrister Geoff Whelan (@keep_it_brief) about the backlog of cases due to COVID19 and the changes the government are trying to push through.
