31 min listen

If it hadn’t been for the pandemic, the past year would have likely been dominated by a familiar topic – Brexit.

Kate Andrews is joined by Antonis Papasolomontos, Director of External Affairs at Abbvie, Sarah Neville, Global Health Editor at the FT, and Jeremy Hunt, Chair of the Health Select Committee.
