Rishi Sunak is now number two to Liz Truss. He didn't beat her the last time, but now he was sort of the one in waiting,. Partly almost because he lost to her is why he was the front runner. And as a banker for people who don't know, he's a banker, investment banker, very finance geek, a centrist. We would call him that in the party or he's a brexit here, but he's still. Yeah. I'm also sure. Compared to the lunatics who've been running things after, yes, he was centrist compared to her, but pro Brexit. She wasn't back in 2016 - and she flipped.
Today, we’re sharing a bonus episode of Kara’s Twitter Spaces conversation recorded on Monday night. In the first part of the conversation, Kara talks to Jonathan Freedland, a British journalist and columnist for The Guardian, about the fall of Liz Truss, the rise of Rishi Sunak and the role of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire in U.K. politics.
In the second part of the episode, Kara and Freedland are joined by yet another Jonathan: Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. The trio discusses the rise of populism and hate speech today. They cover Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks on social media and discuss Freedland’s — aka British Jonathan’s — new book, “The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World.”
