William gives a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing key areas of the economy including retail and early-stage tech investment.

He also sounds a warning about the dramatic rise in state and regulatory interventions that have accompanied government support schemes, and urges a review of some of the conditions attached to state assistance programmes such as the job retention scheme. 

Also in this episode, Christian looks at the level of uncertainty across British businesses trying to plan for life after lockdown; the British government’s potential offer of citizenship to Hong Kong nationals; and Nissan’s commitment to manufacturing in Sunderland.
