Donald Trump may not be back in the White House yet, and he's already causing ructions overseas. Not just threatening to invade and annex allies, like Greenland, Panama, and Canada, but also allowing his unelected wingman, Elon Musk—using his X platform—to troll world leaders and interfere in democracies abroad. Christiane speaks with tech journalist Kara Swisher and the director of the British Future think tank, Sunder Katwala, about what's driving Musk's freelancing in international politics and how dangerous his influence on Trump is. She also gets into the specifics of the two decades old grooming scandal and why Musk's accusations against Keir Starmer are wrong. With wildfires raging in California, President Biden's outgoing DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas joined Christiane to talk about the extreme weather emergency, Trump's promise of mass deportations, and how the terror attack on New Years Day has been politicized. And, A new film by Oscar-winner Errol Morris, "Separated," based on Jacob Soboroff's bestselling book, examines the lasting trauma of family separation under Trump's “zero tolerance” policy during his first term. Christiane sits down with Morris and Soboroff to talk about about their film, the human cost and the chilling possibility of history repeating itself. And as President Jimmy Carter is laid to rest, Christiane revisits their 2007 interview, which explores the late president's reflections on faith and his complicated history with Israel.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it mean to be patriotic in 2023? Following the significant population movements of recent years, leaders in European states are increasingly trying to foster a sense of identity that can hold together their diverse societies. In his recent book, “How to be a patriot: Why love of country can end our very British culture war”, Sunder Katwala draws on many years of research and scholarship in the UK to consider what collective identity without division, fear of immigration, and racism might look like. In this episode, he joins Mark Leonard to explore some identity-related dilemmas in post-Brexit Britain. How did immigration and European interact in the run-up to the 2016 referendum? And can the rest of Europe draw any lessons from the UK's experience? This podcast was recorded on 19 June 2023.

In this episode of 'UKICE (I Tell)' - formerly known as 'Brexit and Beyond' - Sunder Katwala, Director of British Future, talks to Professor Sarah Hall about what his new book, 'How to Be a Patriot: Why Love of Country Can End Our Very British Culture War', says about the challenges to identity in polarised times, from the Brexit divides to the politics of immigration and race.

Patriotism could be the antidote to the divisions created by Brexit. Can you be a proud patriot even when you don't agree with your country? Will patriotism ever cast off it's sinister connotations of nationalism? Ros Taylor is joined in The Bunker by Sunder Katwala, author of How to Be a Patriot: Why love of country can end our very British culture war, to explore what British patriotism means in an increasingly globalised age.  “Dangerous patriotism is the version that says it's them or us.” “The European Identity sounds like a Whiter concept than British identity.” “People on the left have less problems with civic patriotism of cities over national identity.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Book Link https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/how-to-be-a-patriot-why-love-of-country-can-end-our-very-british-culture-war-sunder-katwala?variant=40133746294862 Written and presented by Ros Taylor.

Sunder Katwala, Director of British Future, talks to Paul Adamson about his new book 'How to be a Patriot: Why love of country can end our very British culture war'.

A fascinating disucssion about the state of Britain and it's future. “Engaging people's hopes and fears about integration and immigration, identity and race. Working for a confident  and welcoming Britain, inclusive and fair to all”.    

On race, nationhood, belonging and Britain's identity crisis. Sunder Katwala grew up with some identity questions to work through. As a half-Indian, Irish Catholic kid, the chequered history of post-imperial Britain seemed very personal. Yet he came to realise that, with that background, he could hardly be anything but proudly British. And feeling British was getting much easier once the banana-throwing racists on the football terraces and Norman Tebbit's divisive cricket test gave way to a softer patriotism as the spirit of the Britpop era carried through to Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony. Gazza's tears and Gareth Southgate had changed what it meant to be English too. Having put his own search for an inclusive patriotism back on track, Sunder wondered why so many other English liberals seemed unable to get over their fear of flags. But how much use is it to secure a confident sense of personal and national identity if your country starts falling apart all around you? This book moves from a personal journey to navigate the state of the nation, and the many identity crises of this increasingly disunited Kingdom – from extremism and integration after 7/7; fears of immigration and the deep divides of Brexit; the resurgence of online racism and raging culture wars over what our history means today. As Scotland decides whether to vote to end the Union, Sunder tries to find out if he might now find himself doomed to be the last British patriot of them all.

The Illegal Migration Bill is the latest government attempt to deter asylum seekers from making their way to the UK by irregular routes. But has Rishi Sunak come up with some substance to match his ‘stop the boats' slogan? How does the government intend its plan to work – and how likely is it to succeed? Will the legislation prove popular or polarising? And is the row about Gary Lineker and Match of the Day no more than a distraction? The IfG's Emma Norris and Rhys Clyne are joined by Sunder Katwala, director of British Future, and Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory, for a deep dive into the government's asylum plan.  Presented by Emma Norris. Produced by Candice McKenzie

After figures showed record net migration to the UK in 2022, is immigration still a toxic political issue? Freddie Hayward talks to Sunder Katwala, director of the think tank British Future, about how public attitudes to immigration have changed, the impact of Brexit, and why the Conservatives may not get much electoral benefit from discussing the topic.

This episode was recorded as a live broadcast on 18 July 2022. Every space we share – offices, schools, parks, and pubs – ought to be shaped by the cultures of those who design, build, and use them. But there is a worry that people feel alien in what should be familiar and welcoming places, owing to narrowness of thinking in how we design public and civic spaces, and for whom.  This event brings together top architects, urban planners, and policy experts to explore how to make the shared spaces in our cities and communities more welcoming and accommodating to an increasingly diverse public – and ultimately how to make our civic spaces a place for everyone.  The discussion will explore how we can design public spaces – parks, squares, neighbourhoods – to help people of different cultures interact and enjoy each other. How do we bring together people in a multitude of places to celebrate their differences and engage in cultural exchange? How do we preserve, promote, and integrate cultural markers in our cities in a way that celebrates history and diversity? MODERATED BY:  Paul Owens – Paul is Director of BOP Consulting and Founder of the World Cities Culture Forum.  ON THE PANEL:  Shanaz Gulzar – Chair of the Bradford City of Culture Bid 2025 Sunder Katwala – Director of UK think-tank British Future Harriet Wennberg – Executive Director of INTBAU Armstrong Yakubu – Senior Partner at Foster + Partners

Alicia Barrett and Sunder Katwala join Josh Lowe and Mirren Gidda as they address Immigration. The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has long railed against immigration, threatening to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and ban Muslims from entering the country. His extreme stance has won him supporters. Anxieties over immigration policy trouble governments worldwide. In Britain, many of the people who voted to leave did so in the hope of reducing the numbers of EU migrants coming to the U.K. So, how should governments address the issue of immigration? Does espousing its economic benefits convince people that immigration is beneficial, or should it be discussed differently? Alicia Barrett is the American outreach officer at the Institute of Economic Affairs, a free market research organization, and Sunder Katwala is the director of British Future, a think tank focussed on the issue of immigration.

Or is a free press, including its ability to offend, something that should be supported no matter what? (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)
