Summary

Matthew Goodwin, author of Values, Voice and Virtue: The New British Politics, joins The Realignment. Matthew and Marshall discuss how the rise of national populism, the Brexit vote, the fall of Labour's working-class Red Wall, and constant leadership transitions upended British politics. They also tie Britain's political realignment to broader trends in Western politics from the United States to France and Italy.
