Just 6% of our doctors and our barristers come from a working class background. I used this fact when asking my first question at Prime Minister’s questions last week (it was my first question to the PM as names are drawn by ballot) calling for a renewed focus on social mobility.
This week we have seen passionate debate about the restrictions the Government is bringing in to try and control the spread of Coronavirus. I have always felt the suggestion that the UK could have just followed Sweden’s example was undesirable, not to mention unrealistic.
