This week, Johnation Shafi and Craig Dalzell discuss Scotland's ongoing efforts to ramp up contact tracing and testing during the pandemic and the importance of getting the strategy right coming out of lockdown. They also discuss some of the different strategies and differences in leadership between the Scottish and the UK Governments and the implications for the independence campaign. Finally, they give a brief preview of what Common Weal has been working on to prepare for rebuilding the economy and society after the pandemic.
