They discuss the extraordinary economic shock unleashed on the country by the coronavirus and the possible political implications. 

Colvile is adamant that only a free-market economy will survive life on the other side of this crisis, and he warns against using the emergency response as grounds for a permanently bigger state. 

Also in this episode, Christian looks at the formal launch of the government’s wage subsidy scheme, a new package of support for startups and calls to scrap Sunday trading laws – forever.
