A YEAR ago this weekend the first Covid-19 cases were announced in Britain.
While there’s a temptation to ask: “Who could have seen what would happen next?” the truth is that it’s been a year in which the deep inequalities and problems in our society, that many of us have long called out, have been exposed: the underfunding of the NHS, the neglect of the care system, crowded and inadequate housing and the prevalence of in-work poverty.
The consequences of all of these things are now clear.
