A murder exploited: Britain’s George Floyd moment that wasn’t

A murder exploited: Britain’s George Floyd moment that wasn’t

Nigel Farage, leader of the populist-right Reform UK party, wants Britons to be enraged by a killing in the street. We ask why his tone has changed from “colour-blind” to race-baiting. NATO must now take seriously the idea that America is pulling back; we ask how it is adjusting. And why skipping title sequences is forgoing some of television’s magic.

  • Hugo Gye, British political correspondent
  • Jonathan Rosenthal, international correspondent
  • Andrew Miller, “Back Story” columnist
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”


Topics covered:

  • British politics, race relations
  • NATO, American foreign policy
  • television, media
