We are joined by Peter Sonnex of the Brexit Party, Maureen Martin of the Christian Peoples Alliance and Hoong-Wai Cheah of UKIP to discuss Christianity & UK Politics. We ask them:
- Why Christianity is important to them?
- How they think religion and politics should mix?
- How Christianity should inform policy?
- Should we have an established church, and how they think the CofE is performing?
- What should we be doing about Christian persecution abroad?
- What are their predictions for the future of Christianity in the UK?
