2021 is already set to be a monumental year. On January 1 Britain finally Brexited with a deal. On January 6 a pro Trump mob stormed Capitol Hill and sought to prevent the confirmation of Joe Biden as President of the United States. And as we move towards the summer months more and more of us will be vaccinated against COVID-19.
What will these seismic events mean for the future of Britain and America? As the pandemic eases, will we see fairer more unified nations? Or will our economic and cultural divides open up and become even more pronounced?
To discuss and debate these questions, Will Davies and Matthew Goodwin, two of Britain’s most popular political thinkers – one left-leaning, the other right-of-centre – joined us in January 2021. The event was hosted by journalist and author Jenny Kleeman.
