Dining across the divide US special
Every week, our Dining across the divide column pairs strangers from across the UK and asks them to break bread and discuss their political differences. Could it help people find common ground in the United States?
Dining across the divide US special: ‘We were on the brink of an uncomfortable conversation’
They are both Democrats, but what subjects – from Ukraine to defunding the police – would leave them at odds?
Dining across the divide US special: ‘She said there are no leaders in the Republican party, just idiots’
Dining across the divide US special: ‘I got the impression he felt all Democrats were horrible. He made us sound like Bond villains’
Dining across the divide US special: ‘I read an article he wrote about being attacked at a Black Lives Matter protest’

Dining across the divide US special: ‘He said it was my opinion that humans caused climate change. No, it’s science’
He’s a Republican, she is a Democrat – can they find any common ground on the climate crisis, taxes or the truth about the Capitol attack?
Dining across the divide US special: ‘She tried to educate me on why AR-15s aren’t really military-style weapons’
One is anti-abortion and pro-guns. The other is pro-choice and thinks ‘war tools’ shouldn’t be in the hands of the public. Could they agree to disagree?
