Summary
Hello! With all eyes on Br***t, a surprising and encouraging trend has slipped under the radar over the past few years: polls indicate that attitudes to immigration are getting significantly more positive. This week we’re joined by Sunder Katwala from British Future and Rosie Carter from Hope Not Hate to work out what’s been going on. Sunder and Rosie discuss their recent national conation on immigration and the directions it points to for our approach to policy and how we conduct the debate.
AND
Comedian Athena Kugblenu wants stupidity to be painful, de-colonisation of art collections, fines for door hanging and a new way to vote on party manifestos.

| 0:00.0 | I am pleased to say that our sponsor for this episode is the Economist. It's great to |
| 0:04.9 | partner with them because we know that you like to stay on top of things, climate and |
| 0:08.5 | economics, politics and culture, science and technology. And that can be hard with the |
| 0:14.0 | pace things move at, not just the modern world but your life too. And I have a way to fix |
| 0:19.0 | that for you. For the first time, you can get a one month free trial of the Economist |
| 0:24.8 | so you won't miss a thing. It's such a great resource, both for a 360 degree briefing |
| 0:29.4 | on world events. But also when you really want to dive into an issue too, the research |
| 0:35.0 | and analysis goes deep. And as you'll see with this free trial, the archive is incredibly |
| 0:40.6 | rich and extensive. You're going to get access to podcasts and webinars too. And what the |
| 0:45.4 | Economist does better than anyone is global perspective with distinctive clarity. So I've |
| 0:52.2 | been trying to wrap my head around some of the AI chat GPT conversation and the Economist |
| 0:56.9 | is hands down where I've spent the most time doing that. The technology writing is world |

| 1:23.1 | you and original analysis as events unfold. That's Economist.com forward slash cheerful |

| 1:35.3 | wait. Our sponsor for this episode is Tortus, the |
| 1:39.6 | slow newsroom. As I've said before, I'm a big fan. So often the news media is fixated |
| 1:44.8 | on pitch and pace to drive clicks and shares. And in Tortus, you'll find a different kind |
