Ed continues his journey across Europe in Poland and Germany. In Leczna, eastern Poland, he meets coal miners who explain the importance of an industry that is now under threat from the EU. Crossing the border to Germany, Ed heads to Dorfchemnitz, which in the 2017 national election returned the highest vote in the country for the far-right Alternative for Germany party.
