Summary
Why do politicians keep passing nanny-state policies? Who benefits from them? And why are anti-freedom lobby groups funded by taxpayers' money? On A Nation of Taxpayers, Duncan Barkes and Benjamin Elks are joined by Christopher Snowdon from the Institute of Economic Affairs to break down why governments expand the nanny state, how public health campaigns turn into lifestyle control and why he's clashed with supporters of Lucy Letby.
