Outsourcing and the UK's Covid-19 shock doctrine w/ Rachel Shabi
Added 2020-07-30 08:20:01 +0000 UTCJournalist and broadcaster Rachel Shabi joins me to talk about her recent article in the New York Review of Books - The Pro-Privatization Shock Therapy of the UK’s Covid Response. We talked about why the UK Government's response to the coronavirus pandemic was so heavily dependent on outsourcing to private corporations, and whether the UK's very heavy Covid19-related death toll will eventually erode public support for the Conservative government.

Lord but that was terrifying! I love Rachel, but put off listening to this for a couple of days - just had a feeling she would cut straight through. I'll have to listen again though - quite an information load. Thank you, Alex x
