In this episode of The Political Press Box, I speak to Robert Colville, Director of the Centre for Policy Studies. The think-tank was set-up by Keith Joseph, Alfred Sherman and Margaret Thatcher in 1974 to champion economic liberalism. It continues to be one of the UK’s most influential policy shops.
I spoke to Robert about his journalism career at The Telegraph and BuzzFeed, how think-tanks interact with the media and what he learnt editor the Tories’ 2019 General Election manifesto, a series of pledges which helped Boris Johnson secure the biggest majority the Conservatives have seen since the 1980s.
