Today we're joined by Bournemouth University masters student Nora Blackie where we discuss the implications of proposed plans to introduce COVID status 'certification' to enter certain venues as lockdown eases, and discuss events as they unfolded on the first day of this years Virtual Climate Summit. We also touch on COVID vaccines and the potential blood clot risk that has caused widespread debate across Europe and around the world.

Today we're joined by Kate Fry from Bournemouth University where we discuss the government's roadmap for re-opening the economy starting with the opening of schools on the 8th March, and whether the government is doing enough for university students in the process. We also look at the 2021 Budget announced by the Chancellor Rishi Sunak and the pros and cons of where money will be going, especially the controversial 1% pay rise for NHS workers.

Michael Williams from Nerve News and Sam Greasley-Machin from Nerve Podcasts join us this episode to talk about The Labour Party under Keir Starmer and the government's handling of the pandemic and vaccine rollout.
