Serco, which manages the government’s coronavirus test and trace system, has been on a dramatic turnaround in recent years, something which Soames says was made possible by a commitment to excellence in the delivery of public services.

He describes the test and trace scheme as “a remarkable achievement” and offers a passionate defence of the scheme.

Also in this episode Christian looks at Boris Johnson’s plans for economic recovery; growing criticism of China’s human rights abuses; and the latest bank lending data as the EU reforms the rules to help loans reach companies previously denied support.
