This week on The Briefing, we examine the controversy surrounding a recent letter to The Guardian on Iran, signed by prominent figures including Angela Davis; the growing warnings over Britain’s food security, as drought, geoplitical deveolpments and pressure on domestic agriculture raise the prospect of shortages and higher prices; the latest actions of the Trump administration and they way in which these have been absorbed, rather than countered, by Western liberalism.
We will be back on Wednesday with another guest on The Exchange. This is exclusive to paid Patreon members, and helps support and expand our work.
