Lockdown and austerity with Lord Sugar

Emma Barnett Gets Answers

Available for over a year

As the economy has placed under huge stress due to COVID-19, I've been speaking about how we could steer ourselves through the crisis with one of the UK's known businessmen; Lord Sugar. The Apprentice host left school at 16 and began his business empire by selling electric goods out of a van he bought for £50. Fifty years later, he is estimated to be worth over £1bn. During the interview Lord Sugar talked about why a return to austerity could be inevitable, and what he has been up to during the lockdown.
