This week on the Reaction Podcast, Iain Martin is joined by Maggie Pagano, executive editor and columnist at Reaction, to discuss the Middle East crisis, the death of corporate Britain and the Covid inquiry. They touch on the geopolitical consequences of escalation in the Middle East and what it means for US-Iran relations, how the pro-Palestinian protests have turned sour across the West, why Britain's pensions and capital markets are in such a mess, how Britain can stimulate growth and the recent revelations of the Covid inquiry.
