We're thrilled to have Matt Goodwin, renowned writer, pollster, and professor of politics as our guest for a thought-provoking analysis of Britain's evolving attitudes towards immigration. Matt offers an in-depth look into the public's liberal shift in opinion over the past two decades, juxtaposed against a growing disquiet about the rapidity and magnitude of immigration. Yet, as he astutely notes, these concerns often don't echo within the elite echelons, potentially burdening the upcoming general election with its effects. With contentious policies like the Rwanda plan and border control under the spotlight, we're inviting you to join in on this insightful dialogue.
