In this episode of the Geopolitics of Business, Sam sits down with Sir Anthony Seldon, one of the UK’s pre-eminent historians and political biographers to talk about power and leadership and what history can tell us about the future for the current Labour administration. 

Sam and Sir Anthony discuss the historical and current challenges facing the UK, the rise of populism and the potential impact of Nigel Farage and Reform. 

He emphasises the importance of a clear vision, competence, and ethical core in the leadership, touching on Brexit, the future of UK's relationship with the EU, and the shifting dynamics in political and business environments.

And as a former head and Founding Director of Wellington College Education, Sam also hears Sir Anthony’s views on our schools, universities and the impact of AI on teaching young people.
