Summary

Is Plan B really happening or what? Does the Government grasp the magnitude of the NHS crisis that’s coming? And is there any way to get the performatively unmasked to mask up again? Plus, as the wheels continue to fall off Facebook, is there any fixing social media? And we look at next year’s Unboxed event, the rebadged, don’t-mention-leaving-the-EU Festival of Brexit. Special guest ZOE WILLIAMS of The Guardian to dig into this week’s political misery. • “The row over GPs is completely confected… The problem isn’t of face-to-face appointments, it’s that they’re overworked and worn out.” – ZOE WILLIAMS • “Choosing social media villains and giving them a kicking in front of committees is not going to fix this.” – ZOE WILLIAMS • “Very politicised people don’t WANT the platforms fixed. They’re there for the fight.” – MARIE LE CONTE • “You can’t put a picture of yourself breastfeeding on Facebook, but fascist hate is fine?” – ZOE WILLIAMS https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Ros Taylor with Marie Le Conte and Ahir Shah.
