This week: Sweden Democrats campaign hard, Brexit deportations, citizenship tests and the "caterpillar from hell".

With just over three weeks to go until Sweden’s election, the campaign is intensifying. But reaching voters is trickier than usual this year thanks to new EU limits on political advertising. This might explain an explosion of political posters, sponsored buses and creative political rallies.

Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Emma Löfgren and Richard Orange. 

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:

2026 Swedish election 

Working in Sweden

Brexit
