## Resource

In this episode of Take Me Home, Hilary and Sebastian speak with international relations lecturer Tara McCormack about Britain’s foreign policy since 1945. They explore how the “special relationship” with the United States has shaped Britain’s global role, why foreign policy has remained outside democratic control, and what a more independent approach might look like.Get in touch:sdp.org.ukhilary.salt@sdp.org.uksebastian.moore@sdp.org.ukRecommendations: Buffy - https://www.itv.com/watch/buffy-the-vampire-slayer/10a5896 Bluey - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m000vbrk/bluey Moulin Rouge - https://moulinrougemusical.co.uk/world-tour/
