Priya, who served as a business adviser to the coalition government, gives a candid and forthright assessment of the government’s support packages for businesses.
The £500m Future Fund, unveiled by chancellor Rishi Sunak as a way to help startups during the pandemic, is “woefully inadequate” according to Priya, who says no founder could agree to the terms on offer.
Priya’s platform, Century, is currently supporting schools and pupils during lockdown, assisting with home-learning. She talks about the role of technology in education and discusses the ways in which learning and testing should change in the future.
Also in this episode, Christian looks at the government’s latest thinking on how to ease the economy out of lockdown; Warren Buffet’s flight from the aviation sector; and Elon Musk’s latest – and very costly – Twitter outburst.
