Britain had experienced unprecedented levels of change and disruption since the last General Election in 2019. In the 41st report, published in June 2024, we explored the impacts of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, a global pandemic, the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the cost of living crisis on social and political attitudes.
In this episode, host Sierra Mesplie-Escott discusses some of these key trends with Natalie Maplethorpe and Elizabeth Clery.
