Asked in a recent poll to summarise Britain in a word, 'broken' was the people's top choice. This brokenness is concrete stuff: crumbling bridges, sewage-filled rivers, failing computer systems, abandoned rail projects. But it's also bundled with the collective stories we tell about what it means to be a nation, and who belongs in it. To find out why nothing works in Britain anymore, Moya Lothian-McLean talks to Dom Davies, author of The Broken Promise of Infrastructure. He explains how democratic 'public works' were replaced by neoliberal 'infrastructure', why colonial railways linger in our collective imagination, and whether Labour can get Britain running again. Watch our rolling #ElectionSesh coverage on 4 July from 9.30pm on Novara Media's YouTube. Help us build people-powered media: https://novara.media/support
