Johnson says that many business leaders agree with his position in private, but are too afraid to voice their own concerns publicly.
He says the lockdown is “dystopian” – an affront to our civil liberties and an act of economic self-harm, the unintended consequences of which will do more harm than good.
Also in this episode, Christian looks at growing levels of support for a shorter trading day at the London Stock Exchange; the UK’s increasingly bullish stance towards China; and a new survey suggesting we can’t wait to get back to the office – even if we fancy a bit more home-working in the future.
