Ep. 96 The Conservative Party (Update)
Manage episode 345829448 series 2875800
Liz Truss’ mini budget blew up in smoke, forcing her to accept the most dramatic U-turn in British political history. Her tax cuts were almost all reversed and within days she announced her resignation. The New Right appeared to be in retreat. Yet her successor, Rishi Sunak, is no One Nation Conservative. A cautious Thatcherite is still a Thatcherite. And this caution is only reserved for the economy. On welfare, law and order and international affairs, neo-conservative influence on policy is clear as day.
