Summary
Nigel Farage, leader of the populist-right Reform UK party, wants Britons to be enraged by a killing in the street. We ask why his tone has changed from “colour-blind” to race-baiting. NATO must now take seriously the idea that America is pulling back; we ask how it is adjusting . And why skipping title sequences is forgoing some of television’s magic . Guests and host: Hugo Gye, British political correspondent Jonathan Rosenthal, international correspondent Andrew Miller, “Back Story” columnist Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence” Topics covered: British politics, race relations NATO, American foreign policy television, media Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+ .
