Bestselling author, political insider, and presenter of the chart-topping podcast, The News Agents Jon Sopel joins us at Aye Write to discuss his new book Strangeland which provides a personal exploration of post-Brexit Britain and what it now means to be British.
In 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel moved home to the UK. Having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he returned to find a very different country to the one he left. In Strangeland, Jon examines the new post-Brexit Britain with fresh eyes, as a native who’s been out but come back. With his characteristic wit and clarity, he unpicks the changes that have rendered his homeland almost unrecognisable from the country he once knew.
An unsparing and wry analysis of the politics, policy, and people that have shaped and shaken Britain, Strangeland is Jon Sopel’s remarkable portrait of his homeland in chaos.
