We Haven't Always Told Our Story as Well as We Should

This week, Helen and Armando look back at a year of the Labour government. What language has come out of if, and why is it struggling to define itself?

Strong Message Here will be back on Radio 4 in September, but subscribe to BBC Sounds to hear Helen and Armando over the summer in Strong Message Here: Strong Recommend; a series of short episodes with their language-based cultural recommendations.

Have you…
