The West doesn't support freedom and democracy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The West often presents itself as the global defender of freedom and democracy. But can that claim survive scrutiny when the United States and its allies support repressive regimes, tolerate political repression, and act with impunity abroad?In this video, I challenge the idea that political repression and surveillance are problems unique to China. I argue that, rather than dismissing China’s rise because of its political system, Western countries should be willing to learn from its industrial d
A Leak at the Heart of British Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A leak at the heart of British politics has revealed a three-month “fight-back” plan drawn up by the Starmer government.

That experience changed his career and eventually led him to create financial-literacy workbooks for schools.In this episode, I ask him what happened, why he believes the education system leaves young people unprepared for adult financial decisions, and what students can do before they earn a full-time salary. We talk about th
Why is Britain ungovernable? (and how can we fix it?) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does Britain feel increasingly difficult to govern? In this episode, I argue that the problem is not simply the quality of individual politicians. The deeper problem is that Britain’s political and administrative institutions are outdated, centralised and often designed to manage decline rather than deliver meaningful change.
