What does the British public think about trade? In a democracy, what people think or feel about any area of policy really matters. Trade policy is an external wing of economic policy, and everyone cares about whether the government's actions are making them richer or poorer, but we also care about how trade is interlinked with climate change, the environment, food standards, or animal welfare.
In this episode, our speakers provide insights and analysis on what the public thinks about trade, how we know what the public thinks and whether their views are listened to. With Alan Winters (CITP), George Holt (Trade Justice Movement), Liam Campling (Queen Mary University London) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).

Top gear or crunching gears: Trade and the auto sector
When long-established international trade flows get disrupted, it's not always easy to predict the consequences. Given the adjustments that the UK is continuing to have to make as a result of leaving the EU single market a few years ago, and now President Trump’s global 25% tariff surcharge on imports of cars and components, the challenges are starting to pile up for Britain's automotive sector. How will exporters be affected by Trump’s tariffs, how should the British Government and British carmakers respond and what are the prospects for deepening and expanding trade with other countries around the world, especially in regards to raw materials?
Joining our host, Chris Horseman (Borderlex), to discuss these issues are Emanuel Adam (British American Business), Ian Henry (AutoAnalysis) and Richard Gard (Nissan).
