John Sweeney and Daniel Trilling Turning Right

Over recent years right wing parties and organisations have seen increased support both here and in Europe. Some have moderate policies, some more extreme but the direction of travel is irrefutable. What has caused this shift? And are we actually less liberal than we would like to believe? Or are we being fed an unsubstantiated narrative - and if so by whom? John Sweeney is an investigative journalist whose latest book looks at the appeal and the life of Nigel Farage. Daniel Trilling is a specialist in European politics and the rise of the far right.
