As the march towards a “circuit breaker” gathers pace, we’ll be examining the economic consequences of tighter restrictions. Has the government put health before wealth? Or is a successful economic strategy one that suppresses the virus and vice versa?

With Conservative activist Darren Grimes facing investigation, we’ll be asking: Should journalists, podcasters and presenters be held responsible for remarks made by interviewees?

And what do the most recent employment statistics tell us about the shape of the UK labour market? With some sectors buckling under tougher measures, how many of those currently on furlough will have jobs to go back to?

All this, and more.
