In this week's episode we talk about what a difference it makes when the Swedish media start reporting on immigration policies that force foreign workers to leave Sweden.

We also get into how Sweden has been reacting first to tariff threats and then their withdrawal by US President Donald Trump.

For Membership+ subscribers we look at what readers of The Local are telling us about how their food habits have changed since moving to Sweden.

Finally we discuss why women in Sweden tend to vote left while men lean more to the right.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
