Festival of Ideas: Jason Cowley - What Is the Future for England?
By Bristol Ideas
Jason Cowley examines contemporary England through key stories from recent times and reveals what they tell us about the state of the nation and its future.
What is the future for England in the UK? Spanning the years since the election of Tony Blair’s New Labour government to the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, Cowley investigates how England has changed and how those changes have affected us. Through these vivid and often moving stories, he looks at how and why England became so divided and the United Kingdom so fragmented, and how we got to this cultural and political crossroads. Most importantly, he also shows us the many ways in which there is genuine hope for the future.
In conversation with Andrew Kelly, Director of Bristol Ideas.
