Jonathan Coe on a tumultuous period in UK politics

UK politics has entered a new phase of volatility following Keir Starmer’s resignation, leaving Labour in a leadership contest and raising immediate questions about direction and stability. Andy Burnham has quickly become a focal point in the realignment, while Nigel Farage continues to reshape and upend the traditional two-party duopoly. What emerges is a political landscape that remains institutionally intact, but increasingly fragmented in authority, narrative, and purpose. To explore that wider sense of unease, Pat is joined by novelist & satirist, Jonathan Coe.
