Hot Button Issues Bingo: Immigration, Brexit & Trump. Tariffs, China & Russia (oh my!)

EP 378 - Political scientist Anand Menon joins us this week to
talk about the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the
choices facing the UK in a rapidly changing world.


We discuss how we all need to redraw a mental map of the “Western
Alliance” as a result of the Trump administration, how the UK
government is walking a diplomatic tightrope between the US and
the EU and why their positive drive for growth could get derailed
by events outside of their control.


Anand brings evidence, rather than opinion and ideology to the
table. Which helps navigate emotionally charged issues such as
whether immigration is good for the economy, and why the net
immigration numbers are set to fall (hint, it’s nothing to do
with small boats).


We even managed to have a sensible conversation about Brexit, the
pros, the cons, the winners and the losers who are likely to pay
the highest price for it. It might not be who you think.


As Anand says, “people tell us, that the reason that they listen
to us is that they don’t know what we are going to say”
