Writer and broadcaster Darren McGarvey, AKA rapper Loki, argues that the pandemic has exposed the contours of inequality in Britain. Turning a critical eye on poverty, land ownership, health inequalities and policing, the activist argues that there are chasms of misunderstanding between the powerful decision-makers and those who must live with the consequences.

Darren digs into the links between poor health and deprivation, and questions the possibilities afforded by an entrepreneurial spirit.
