In this podcast we speak to Professor Matthew Goodwin, one of the country’s leading political scientists, on a variety of geopolitical issues and trends.  We cover:

• what the political fallout of the last crisis might tell us about the fallout from this crisis;
• how tensions between different generations may be on the increase and the perception of wealth in a post Covid world;
• the challenges facing the Eurozone and the longer-term outlook for the bloc;
• how Covid-19 might affect Trump’s re-election prospects in November;
• the perception of China and why will be a pivotal issue in the race for the White House, and;
• Boris Johnson’s premiership and what this tells us about contemporary conservatism.
