Description

John Lanchester, Tom Crewe and Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite join James Butler to dissect Keir Starmer's victory and the historic collapse of the Conservative Party. They discuss what the result tells us about the needs and frustrations of the country, the ways in which the new Labour government might achieve some of the things it’s promised and why comparisons with Harold Wilson have been so prevalent.Read Tom Crewe on fourteen years of the Tories:https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n12/tom-crewe/carnival-of-self-harm Hosted on Acast.
