What’s gone wrong with Britain? James O’Brien knows who to blame

British broadcaster, author and liberal commentator James O’Brien is best known for the exasperated monologues and heated debates that feature on his daily LBC radio call-in show.

In his recent book How They Broke Britain, he describes the institutions of the Conservative Party, right-wing think-tanks and right-wing media as an “ecosystem in which really appalling stuff can happen”.

On this week’s Inside Politics podcast he talks to Hugh Linehan about the key individuals - Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Rupert Murdoch - who he says sit at the top of this system and why he has new hope for the future of UK politics.
