As 2018 draws to a close, our panel of expert commentators, Bidisha, Hugo Rifkind, Catherine Mayer and Matthew Taylor, reflect on the political and cultural moments that have defined a tempestuous year.

How can we understand the stories that have dominated this year’s headlines in the context of such polarisation? What do identity politics have to do with it? And are we really descending into ‘culture wars’?
