Daily: Are BREXIT IDENTITIES still our masters?

<p>Nearly four years after the Referendum, are Leave vs Remain attitudes still driving our politics? Are we stuck with them forever? And how do they map onto other issues like masks, authoritarianism or social liberalism? <strong>Paula Surridge</strong>, a political sociologist at the University of Bristol, talks to <strong>Naomi Smith</strong> about what the tumult of the past half-decade has done to British politics, and whether we’re still vulnerable to a hellish US-style polarisation.</p><p>“Around half of people say they have a ‘very strong’ Brexit identity…&nbsp;but that means that half <em>don’t</em>.”</p><p>“The idea of ‘Culture War’ misrepresents people in the Red Wall. They don’t actually <em>want </em>all these cultural arguments.”</p><p><em>Presented by Naomi Smith. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson.
