The Bigger Picture: Last-ditch Brexit talks, the Covid vaccine and prospects for the US
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the progress of the last-ditch attempts to reach a Brexit agreement, asking who is responsible for the statemate. As the Covid vaccine begins its roll-out, he asks if 2021 shouldn't be seen as a chance to assess the way government, institutions and society works in the UK and make some big changes. And, picking perhaps an unlikely political Star of the Year, he looks across the Atlantic at what might happen when President Biden becomes the new occupant of The White House.

And he ponders whether the World's Central Banks' policies have set us up for a catastrophic fall.
