The Intelligence from The Economist · Keep qualms and carry on: a decade after Brexit · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

There are the challenges of high visa fees if you're now trying to bring someone in from the rest of Europe.

So one firm I spoke to recently explained that's one of the main reasons they're now opening an office in continental Europe.

That's a good point, Daniel.

I mean, I've used a few flattering statistics there comparing us to mainland Europe.

But yes, it's true that we're definitely a minnow compared to America.

So one area where we're not quite sure yet is exactly where the biggest benefits of AI will be.

Lots of people have lots of different perspectives on that.

What does seem possible is that the application layer, so that on top of the need to build data centers.

You have firms like NVIDIA that supply the chips, but that application layer is somewhere that Britain could be really well positioned to thrive in.

And so that does go back to being better on regulation, creating an environment where firms can thrive.

And I think most importantly, making sure that AI is useful to people and that people can see tangibly the benefits that AI can have in their lives.

And there's a lot of

fear at the moment about AI and I think showing people that AI can improve their lives, improve their healthcare system, make their lives easier is really important.

Or maybe I'm biased because I cover it, but I do think that how the world reckons and indeed makes the most of AI is going to define the coming decades.

And I think a big question for a relatively small country like Britain is how does it find its way?

Daniel spoke about Britain finding its role in the world, and I think that's more important than ever because

If it doesn't do that, if it doesn't find ways to make itself strategically important, there is a risk that some of this mayhem continues as we struggle to find a place in this very quickly changing world.

The Intelligence from The Economist · Top dog-whistler: Tommy Robinson and Britain’s far right · 15 May 2026 podcast

It's really been quite the year for Stephen Yaxley Lennon, the far right activist, better known to many as Tommy Robinson.

Live streaming from his car in San Diego, he described the previous twelve months.

Robinson had spent time in prison because he'd been found in contempt of court for repeatedly libeling a Syrian schoolboy.
