“For every British civilian who was killed in the Second World War, three people were killed by COVID – one of the great civilian catastrophes to hit Britain ever.” – Andrew Marr, political editor of the New Statesman.
Whilst Britain is still recovering from the aftermath of Covid 19, and the results of Baroness Heather Hallett’s inquiry is not due to be revealed until 2025, a concerning new wave of “anti-science paranoia” is bubbling up in the far right.
Andrew Marr explores how, if they win the next election, Keir Starmer and the Labour government will not only inherit a broken economy and failing public services but also the “huge problem” of conservative Britain’s “great revulsion against the modern world”.
