Ist Großbritannien noch regierbar? Mit Annette Dittert
Summary
Anne Dittert discusses her new book "Dear Britain" and analyzes the political crisis in the UK following Andy Burnham's succession of Keir Starmer. She examines Burnham's "Manchesterism" model, his working-class image, and his strategy to decentralize power from London. The conversation questions whether his approach can solve Britain's deep structural issues, such as privatized infrastructure and high debt, or if the country remains difficult to govern.
