Exclusive: County Durham-born former White House adviser says social divide is so wide it could become a security crisis
A lack of social mobility in Britain’s “left behind” communities risks fuelling populism and becoming a national security crisis, according to Fiona Hill, the coalminer’s daughter who became a top White House adviser.
Hill, who was born in County Durham and went on to serve under three presidents and become US national security council director for Europe and Russia, warned that Britain’s social divide is so wide that some communities feel like “another world” to the cities.
