A packed house at the Frontline Club in London for our last @newlinesmag.bsky.social event of the year. Stephen Sackur was in excellent form, gamely answering the questions instead of asking them. More events next year 👏

🧵I spoke to @harikunzru.bsky.social on @newlinesmag.bsky.social The Lede, a brilliant novelist I've wanted to sit down with for a while. My first question was about something he said about Trump voters wanting to "smash the hegemony of the coastal elite". Aren't you, I asked, part of that elite?
