Brexit Breakdown podcast with Margaret MacMillan and Anand Menon

The Brexit Breakdown podcast kicks off with a new series starting with Margaret MacMillan, professor of international history and Warden of St Antony’s college at Oxford university. She has written many books ranging from the Women of the Raj, Nixon and Mao and The War that ended Peace. The discussion was led by Professor Anand Menon, director of The UK in a Changing Europe.

They discussed among other things, what the pandemic has shown us and why she is relatively optimistic about what the future might hold. How leaders can regain the trust of those they lead, and whether we can really learn the lessons of history.
