7 Prime Ministers in 10 years: Is Brexit to blame?

The Agenda

In the summer of 2024, Sir Keir Starmer led his Labour Party to a record-breaking landslide victory in the UK's general election.

But now, less than two years later, he's about to become an ex-prime minister.

Britain will soon have its seventh leader in the 10 years since the country voted to leave the European Union. So what does that say about the state of British politics? And what is the rest of the world making of it?

To find out, on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann is joined by Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London; Sir David Lidington, former UK Minister for Europe; Vicky Pryce, Chief Economic Adviser at the Centre for Economics and Business Research; and Benjamin Caswell, Senior Economist at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research.
