Video highlights from our panel discussion with Sir Michael Marmot, Baroness Brown, Professor Carol Propper, George Ferguson CBE, and Dr Ewan McGaughey on how we move from a war-footing to improving public wellbeing.

Doctors and nurses are held to a very strict code of honesty and transparency. Should our politicians be subject to the same standards?

• Dr Ewan McGaughey on how we can make politicians act honestly.
• Dr Carol Propper on the problems of lobbying
• George Ferguson CBE on why he is hopeful positive change can come despite the Covid-19.

What have we learned from this crisis and how do we avoid returning to business as usual? How will the government afford to make investments in dealing with climate breakdown?

Highlights:

• Sir Michael Marmot on why improving health and tackling climate breakdown go hand in hand
• Dr Ewan McGaughey on the changes we have to make to our financial system
• George Ferguson CBE on how we can implement a revolution in food production
