About

Ten years on from the Brexit referendum, the questions it raised have not gone away. As alliances shift and the US grows openly hostile towards Europe, we are being forced to think again about Britain's place in an increasingly fractured world.

In this conversation, Tom McTague, editor of the 'New Statesman' and author of 'Between the Waves', is joined by former Green Party leader and MEP Caroline Lucas, political scientist Anand Menon, and lawyer and writer Marina Wheeler to reflect on what Brexit has exposed, how Europe is responding to new pressures and what collective action might still be possible in a more unstable world.
