What does it really mean to be “left-wing” in modern England? And how does that differ from what we see in the U.S.? Why do some people feel the left has lost its way, while others believe it’s becoming more relevant than ever? In this discussion, live from Manchester, hosted by Edward, we’ll unpack the rise and reshaping of the left-wing movement in England; its values, its contradictions, and its growing influence on culture and politics.

We’ll also look at Tommy Robinson, a controversial figure often associated with the right (but who doesn't fully represent right-wing values as most people see them), to understand how his views and actions have indirectly fuelled new energy and unity within England’s left. Together, we’ll discuss what the left in England stands for today—social equality, inclusivity, workers’ rights, and climate action—and how that compares to the more identity-driven politics of the American left. With studies showing that left-leaning political identification in the UK has grown by nearly 10% in the past decade, this is a chance to explore who’s shaping this shift, what motivates them, and what this means for England’s future. Whether you’re new to politics or deeply engaged, this session will make complex ideas accessible, lively, and relevant.

在现代英格兰，“左翼”到底啥意思？它跟美国看到的左翼有啥不一样？为啥有人觉得左翼已经迷失方向了，有人却觉得它越来越有影响力？这次从曼彻斯特直播的讨论，由Edward主持，我们来扒一扒英格兰左翼运动的崛起和重塑过程，包括它的核心价值、内部矛盾，以及它对文化和政治的越来越大影响。

我们还会聊聊Tommy Robinson，这个备受争议的人物，常被贴上右翼标签（但其实他并不完全代表大多数人眼中的右翼价值），看看他的观点和行动怎么间接地给英格兰左翼注入了新能量和团结。我们一起讨论当下英格兰左翼代表啥——社会平等、包容性、工人权益，还有气候行动——然后对比美国左翼那种更注重身份政治的风格。根据研究显示，过去十年英国左倾政治认同增长了将近10%，这趟讨论就是机会来探索谁在推动这个变化、他们啥动力，以及这对英格兰未来意味着啥。不管你是政坛小白还是老鸟，这次会场会让复杂想法变得容易懂、活泼又贴近生活。
