Daily Podcast: How the pandemic shaped the political and economic landscape

Sky, 23 Dec 2020
It's the year we learned how to live under lockdown.

The COVID pandemic has had huge repercussions for businesses – as the UK experienced its steepest recession on record earlier this year.

The economic recovery still has a long way to go and the political challenges for the government continue.

But have lockdowns and the tier system been the right approach? What lessons will be learned? And might we be able to look forward to a roaring 20s?

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast with Dermot Murnaghan, we are joined by our economics editor Ed Conway and politics presenter Sophy Ridge, as we reflect on an unprecedented year and look ahead to 2021
