GZERO World Clips

Highlights from the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer weekly television show.

A man wearing a trash can on his head is challenging Nigel Farage in a parliamentary by-election. It may sound like political theater, but the race has become a referendum on Farage himself. After months of surging in the polls and positioning Reform UK as Britain's leading force on the right, Farage called the by-election hoping to cement his momentum. Instead, it's become an early test of whether a growing financial scandal has punctured his anti-establishment appeal.

On GZERO World, former UK cabinet minister Rory Stewart tells Ian Bremmer why Count Binface—a satirical candidate known for lampooning British politics with absurd campaign promises—has become more than just a punchline. Stewart explains what Binface's popularity says about voter frustration, political disillusionment, and why even Britain's joke candidates can reveal something serious about the state of the country's democracy.

Powering what's next

Energy used to be a predictable cost. Now it's a constraint on growth, and businesses are rethinking how they plan and build.

GZERO Media’s Tony Maciulis sat down with Susan Uthayakumar, Chief Energy and Sustainability Officer at Prologis, to discuss how rising power demand from automation, AI and fleet electrification is changing where and how companies build. Together, they examine the role real estate plays in energy infrastructure, what effective public-private partnerships look like, and how on-site power generation can support communities in crisis.
