Listen "What's past is prologue"
Episode Synopsis
History defines our present, our present defines our future. And so this week we look at the lessons finally being accepted from Brexit, plus some lessons for Labour from the 2024 General Election.
Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith are joined by Sam Freedman – Substacker extraordinaire, political commentator, author and senior fellow at the Institute for Government. He knows his political onions!
And there is a lot to discuss – tons happening on the European front, plus a new book highlighting some very important takeaways from the last General Election (Domino's really should sponsor this bit).
