Strangeland: Jon Sopel on how Britain stopped making sense

36 min • 4 oktober 2024

After eight years as North America Editor Jon returned home to the UK, but things weren't quite as he had left them.

In his book, Strangeland, Jon recounts what it was like in the US, looking back to the UK - and the strange feeling when he returned home to realise that either Britain had changed, or he had. Lewis sits down with Jon to discuss just how much the British political landscape has changed over the past 10 years.
