Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards

Who is Winning The Battle of Ideas?

Nigel Lawson once noted that the party that wins the battle of ideas wins elections. He was right. Ideas matter and yet play little part in the contest between Sunak and Starmer. But the Right remain ideologically confident. Will a Labour government be able to counter the anti-state onslaught that is bound to happen? Plus exciting notices and brilliant questions from the Rock &amp; Roll Politics co-operative.

Rock &amp; Roll Politics is live at King’s Place, London, on Wed 10 July for a pre-election special. Get tickets here.
