‘Woke’ culture, net zero, tax cuts: we want your views on divisive issues

We want to hear from people across the UK who hold different views on some of the more divisive issues of our time for our series Dining across the divide

Do tax cuts promote growth? Has “woke” culture gone too far? Are green policies affordable in a cost of living crisis? Where do you stand on these or other issues - and could you persuade someone with a different view?

For the Guardian series, Dining across the divide, we would like to hear from people, living in the UK, who have differing viewpoints about some of the most divisive issues that affect us now.

Our aim is to find out whether encountering someone with the opposite point of view can make a difference. We’re interested in hearing from adults from every part of the UK, with an interest in meeting and discussing opposing views with another reader.
