Navigating the New Political Divide - Matt Goodwin

New Culture Forum

On this week's #SWYSI, Prof. Matthew Goodwin joins Peter Whittle to discuss topics including: * academic freedom & free speech / cancel culture * "White Privilege" v the poor educational outcomes of "left behind" white working-class Britons * populism as a reaction to "liberal over-reach" * the culture wars & the UK's new, values-based political divide * potential paths to finding a political settlement/compromise to unite the nation * the US presidential election and America's political polarisation * the economic and health consequences of the pandemic over the next decade * the ongoing problems of immigration, economic divergence, and political leadership * public perceptions of the degree to which Boris Johnson and the Government are truly "conservative".
