Overview

On 5 September, Britain will announce its new prime minister. After a bitter Conservative leadership battle, and with the UK facing rampant inflation, rising poverty, clamours for Scottish independence and increasing acrimonious relations with the EU, what can we expect from the new PM? Do they have the mettle to tackle the UK’s myriad of problems? What will be the impact of Boris Johnson’s legacy of populism and mendacity for his successor? This talk will analyse where Britain’s broken politics goes from here.
