New Economics Podcast: The UK’s political battlegrounds
Ayeisha Thomas-Smith is joined by Anoosh Chakelian and James Meadway
27 February 2023
Last year the UK had three different prime ministers, four different chancellors and five different housing ministers. Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister for close to a decade, recently announced her resignation — and it’s not clear who will replace her. British politics now seems to be permanently tumultuous. And with a general election peeking over the horizon, political parties are gearing up to win over the public.
What are the big ideas influencing UK politics? How much appetite does the public have for change? And what will be the key battlegrounds at the next general election?
Ayeisha is joined by Anoosh Chakelian, Britain editor at the New Statesman, and James Meadway, director of the Progressive Economy Forum.
