Eddie Marsan Has a Message for Tommy Robinson...

Award-winning actor Eddie Marsan joins Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel for a powerful and deeply personal conversation. In this exclusive interview, Marsan reflects on growing up in London’s East End during the rise of the National Front, the importance of community, and what shaped his values as both a performer and a citizen. Marsan, known for his roles in Ray Donovan, Sherlock Holmes, and Happy-Go-Lucky, shares his candid thoughts on the current state of British politics and far-right extremism. He doesn’t hold back when discussing figures like Tommy Robinson — and why speaking out matters now more than ever. From class and identity to how the arts can challenge hate, this is a conversation that goes beyond celebrity and cuts to the heart of the social issues dividing Britain today. #eddiemarsan #bbc #actor #film #tv #media #premiere #tommyrobinson #nigelfarage #reform #farright #donaldtrump #trump #workingclass #economy #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
