What does it really mean to belong in Britain today?

What does it really mean to belong in Britain today? As division deepens and extremist politics is no longer considered at the fringe, questions of identity, immigration, and community feel more urgent than ever.

How did we get this divided, and where are we headed next? Is society permanently broken, or is a more inclusive, hopeful future still possible? And what will it take to rebuild a country where everyone has a place?

Exploring national identity and feminism to bigotry, tribes, and the weaponisation of immigration, join host Samira Ahmed and a panel of leading voices for a thought-provoking debate about a fractured modern Britain.

Host: Samira Ahmed
Panel: Afua Hirsch, Ashley JamesJames O’Brien and Ash Palmisciano
