Green and Pleasant
is a British political commentary platform analysing UK politics, media and national identity through long-form discussion and independent analysis.
What Is Green and Pleasant?
Green and Pleasant is an independent British political commentary platform dedicated to serious discussion about the United Kingdom — its politics, institutions, culture and future direction.
Founded by Josh Faulks, the platform provides long-form analysis of UK political developments, institutional decision-making and the cultural questions shaping modern Britain. Through video essays, commentary and written analysis, Green and Pleasant aims to encourage informed civic engagement and thoughtful public debate.
The name reflects a longstanding cultural phrase associated with Britain’s landscape and heritage, while the platform itself focuses on the realities of contemporary governance and national life.
