A Brit Abroad

AL Kennedy reports from upstate New York on a strange turn of events. No longer are the Brits making fun of the Americans... instead, she finds, Americans bewildered by us.

As Americans prepare to go to the polls in the US midterm elections and the COP27 environment conference gets underway, AL Kennedy takes the temperature of debate and of the environment from a barn in upstate New York.

And she reflects on being a Brit these days in the US. 'In the normal course of events,' she writes, 'it's Brits who like to make fun of Americans. Now, Americans are bewildered by us'.
