The Black Paper
Hosted by Ndukwe Onuoha and Cheta Nwanze, The Black Paper looks at UK politics through the lens of African heritage communities, many of whom are recent migrants.
The Black Paper
Back like we never left: welcome to the 2026!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Summary
In our first episode of the year, we cast our minds back to what stood out for us in 2025, and what we look forward to in 2026.
We also talk Trump, language in politics, and the importance of lobbying for change.
