Making Common Ground Focus Group - Brexit five years on, and does it matter if politicians lie

In episode twenty-two, Catherine Neilan returns to the Making Common Ground focus group to look back at the five years since the EU referendum, to discuss why they voted as they did, whether they've changed their mind since then and whether they knew anyone at the time who voted differently.  We also discuss whether they believe Boris Johnson is a liar, whether it matters and if  journalists and opposition politicians should do more to call it out.

Whether it's Brexit, Covid, Black Lives Matter or trans rights, polarisation has been destabilising our democracy for the last few years. But are the culture wars largely phoney - and can we find a solution to the serious issues society is facing? From state-sanctioned hostile action to social media algorithms, party politics and innate tribal instincts, Alfred Landecker Foundation fellow and journalist Cat Neilan explores what is holding us back from making common ground. In partnership with Humanity in Action.
