Show Notes

WhatsApps seen by the UK’s Covid-19 Inquiry have given us an insight into the different opinions inside government during the pandemic.

Health reporter and host of The Covid Inquiry Podcast Jim Reed has been closely following every day of evidence. He’s in the studio with Dr. Catherine Haddon from the Institute for Government to look at what we’ve learned.

Marianna Spring is also in to help with tips on how to recognise disinformation online, as claim, counterclaim, and straight up lies swirl on social media.
