Academy of Ideas's video: How will coronavirus affect Johnsonomics

This is a recording of a discussion hosted by the Academy of Ideas Economy Forum on Wednesday 1 April: http://academyofideas.org.uk/events/archive/covid-19-johnsonomics #.X1o2RWdKigQ One of the biggest policy benefits from leaving the EU is the end of the ‘Brussels excuse’. No longer can British ministers blame the European Commission – often illegitimately – for tying its hands in dealing with Britain’s economic challenges. Now the buck clearly stops with a Boris Johnson-led government, which is also has the benefit of a large parliamentary majority. What do its early actions tell us about the new government’s approach to national economic policy? Phil Mullan and Rob Lyons discuss.
