Listen "Enter staged right: misinformation feeds Britain’s riots"
Episode Synopsis
Unrest across the country has been driven in part by the provably false claims of right-wing provocateurs. We examine the real concerns underlying the violence, and how to end it swiftly.

And the notable parallels between “House of the Dragon” and modern politics (18:00).Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.
