Ukraine/Israel Updates, Tiktok Vote, UK after Brexit, and Reversing Illiberalism in Poland

On this episode, we begin with some short updates on the situation in Ukraine and Israel. We also discuss the US House vote on TikTok and whether the social media platform is a propaganda tool of the CCP. 

We then take a deep dive into life in the UK after Brexit. Were promises kept and who is better off? 

Finally, we look at the extraordinary story of Poland’s democratic revival and examine its battle back from its recent flirtation with authoritarianism. What lessons can Western nations learn from as they fight their own right-wing populism?
