Dominic Green unpacks the rise of Nigel Farage and the latest turn in Ukraine

In his conversation with Jacob Heilbrunn, Dominic Green offers a stark and unsettling analysis. He describes Nigel Farage as the most important British politician since Margaret Thatcher — a figure now reshaping the country’s political landscape and driving its institutions to the brink. At the same time, the war in Ukraine grinds on in a bleak stalemate reminiscent of World War I, with Putin challenging the West and forcing Europe to confront the urgent need to take its own defense seriously.
From the turmoil in Westminster to the trenches of Ukraine, Green paints the portrait of a continent in turmoil.
