2025 feels a pivotal year for American democracy. There appears to be a radical new kind of politics, a movement driven by a wild rise in conspiracy culture that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists.

Gabriel Gatehouse, award-winning journalist and broadcaster, is on hand to help us unpack and unpick what may lie ahead as we embark on another four years of Trump’s presidency. His brilliant new book The Coming Storm is a compelling mix of research and reportage that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration moving through to the storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021.

In conversation with Alev Scott.

“Gabriel Gatehouse is a brilliant spelunker of the rabbit holes of American political culture.” Louis Theroux
