As Donald Trump plays the blame game with the World Health Organisation Lesley kicks off this episode trying to get to grips with why certain countries appear to have coped with the Covid 19 crisis substantially better than the UK and the USA. Here's a wee hint contact tracing and testing. We also, yet again, look at the "great leader" syndrome which still blights, not only the UK, but also Scotland. The post crisis UK economy has been all over the news in the past couple of days with focus on the dire predictions of the OBR. Will this be an opportunity to rebalance the economy or Austerity 2?
