the conservative party conference a year and the conservative party conference a yearand a the conservativelf ago when she came out with some policy about making businesses publish how many of their staff were non—uk nationals. amber ruddis staff were non—uk nationals. amber rudd is very liberal on immigration. this is clearly something coming from the top, from theresa may, and amber rudd is taking the heat for it. if amber rudd also taking the heat for divisions or uncertainty in the civil service? we have been hearing questions raised this evening about where the leaks are coming from the troubled amber rudd of the past two days and led to the resignation. quite possibly. there is also a brexit angle. she was a very cliett remainer. we have seen, again, in the last week, the struggle in the cabinet over the customs union, customs partnership, ha rd customs union, customs partnership, hard brexit, soft brexit, she has been causing a bit of trouble for the prime minister with a talk on maybe we actually will stay in the customs union. her role as a very prominent remainer who is now the hi

spent ten yea rs her cameron and osborne they spent ten years trying to make the conservative party for minorities to be, and a party minorities to be, and a party minorities feel they can vote for. and many would want to vote for the conservative party because they are of conservative outlook. this is probably doing about ten years of good work, they'll have to start again. on the same story, the financial times has a further development. there has been an additional problem because many of the landing cards were destroyed. the financial times says the windrush migrants cases have been backed by record in the national archives. the thing i take from this is... good on the financial times for finding is... good on the financial times forfinding that, i hope it's helpful. if they were able to know this, the home office should be able to know. if there are records we shouldn't be in this position. even if they threw out the records and the cards, then it seems to have been on back—up information and they should know that. it points to a failure to grasp this is a systematic problem ra

anotherformer minister the image of the conservative party.ing that government should discriminate against job applicants from government should discriminate againstjob applicants from eaton. yes, this is positive kimmince gully —— disk immolation, this is from justine greening, she went to a cwmbran sieve school herself —— this is positive discrimination, this is from justine greening, who went to a comprehensive school. she said if you get three bs from eaton you are not as impressive as someone who gets the same from a part of the country where schools are not as good. she said you need to give this contextual approach to people from different backgrounds. it will be the kind of thing that is dismissed as political correctness by many of her colleagues on the tory benches but i think this is an interesting idea and it might reach out to people from different backgrounds just ahead of the local elections. that has been a big problem for the conservatives, they are seen as a party and government dominated by posh boys who went to eaton. they

as for the conservative party, -understand what they feel they must deliver brexit as the will of the people. i understand privately delivering it is the best inoculation against a corporate orbinovernment -- c government. the difference between tactics and strategy is evident. tactics are about the politics of the moment. strategy leaps over the moment and try to imagine the long-term. think ahead. before the end of 2020 we will know the real deal. i suspect we will have a canada-type deal with not much plus. if we don't, we will have a deal which will leave a big number of brexiteers feeling hoodwinked. there is then another 18 months after the deal to an election. think june 2022. will the economy be stronger? will the brexit news be better? will people feel brexit has delivered all the control we say we don't have now. well the nhs be on the mend? will the free trade agreements be stacking up? brexit happening in this sequence will be eight to -- a tory brexit, completely owned by the conservative party. the 17 million who voted leave may be short on gratitude. the 16 million who

why are donations to the conservative party relevant to hmrc when considering whether to investigateas i've just said, they are not. they evidently are... no, they're evidently not. i am sorry, chancellor, hmrc did deem it relevant in the case of lycamobile when, as simon has already quoted, in their notes to french officials, it said, "it is of note that they are the biggest corporate donor to the conservative party led by prime minister theresa may and donated 1.25 million euros to the prince charles trust in 2012." so in the context of everything else in that note, someone at hmrc has deemed it irrelevant. why on earth? what kind of culture is operating at hmrc where an hrc official would deem that information relevant? well, the important thing to reassure the committee is that the decision was made correctly by hmrc lawyers on the basis of the proper assessment on whether the standard of evidence admitted by the french authorities was sufficient for a uk court to issue a search warrant. the decision was that it was not. how that information was then conveyed to the french author

year being discussed in the mainstream press about cambridge and it occurs connections to the conservative party. from front to the extent to which you know they had really establishment connections not just obscure military connections but connections across the party and connections to people who gave very large amounts of funding to the conservative party over several years one of the connections that hasn't been looked at to date is a connection that we reported on related to. the hanssen asset management so one of the founding directors of s.c.l. election which is the u.k. incorporation of cambridge analytical is a guy called christian to road christian patrick to. rohde who was a director and is a director now he was a director with s.c. elections year and he's currently director with hanson asset management which is a. that was excess of the hanson p o c which was set up by lord james hansen the well known industrialist who has huge connections to tobacco to big coal in the united states and so on and so forth what it was a major donor to the conservative party and also had a very close c

she once described the conservatives as the nasty party.toxify the brand has been damaged just two weeks before the local elections. joining me now, the historian, david olusoga, the sun's political editor, tom newton—dunn, director of the think—tank class — the centre for labour and social studies, faiza shaheen and suzanne evans, the former deputy chairman of ukip and a former vote leave board member. good evening to you all. first of all, tom, how big a moment has the scandal of windrush been for britain, do you think? for britain, it has been a reasonably sized moment. i do not think i would go to much further than that. it has been a giant news story. the reason for that is one reason only and that is because of the commonwealth as a government, all of them arrived here to meet theresa may this year. this story has been reported in the guardian for months. all of us, my paper, the bbc, everyone else when nobody has been paying any attention to it at all. it was the trigger, the sheer embarrassment of the entire commonwealth coming here

amber rudd could put herself at the leadership of the soft brexit faction of the conservative party. also had a problem with this question of the customs union because she doesn't have a majority in the house of commons. probably doesn't have a majority in her own party on that in the house of commons. although the party in the country is a different matter. so, yes, i think her problems there have certainly increased. i thought sebastian made an important point about the way amber rudd seems to have been attacked from within her own department by civil servants lilly king. as a former civil servant, ruth, as you just told us what is your view? where are the lea ked what is your view? where are the leaked documents coming from? —— civil servants leaking.|j leaked documents coming from? —— civil servants leaking. i suspect this is the state of things to come, if people are in the civil service and they don't agree with a minister they leaked documents, which as far asi they leaked documents, which as far as i was concerned, was something you never, ever, ever did, ifany leaks took plac

because the right wing of the conservative party is very supportive of voice johnson so simply bush johnson is not going anywhere but that said even if he was to resign even if he was to be sacked his successor would keep to the same narrative and if i can very quickly just set the scene anyone who's familiar with the history of anglo russian relations was not surprised by how within a few hours of the tragic events in seoul spree the british government and british mainstream media would blame in the russian state because ever since diplomatic relations were established between london and moscow in fifteen ninety five russia has been viewed in whitehall in westminster as almost the devil incarnate over five hundred years or so the ground has been set in britain to make any accusation against russia by a british politician or british mainstream journalists and they don't need evidence to back it up you know patrick you know mark has used the term the case against russia what is the case here all i can see is on the international stage is a lot of elbowing a lot of pressure being

i think it's more reality did forces conservative parties to change their stance on muslims there is a large series of criminal attacks of life attacks in germany every day so there is a correlation between muslim immigration and crime change of culture so they see that reality changes that people get very unsatisfied and that brings them to change at least territory peter changed their policy right now but at least they have changed rhetorical well xander the word see though of course contradict chancellor merkel it's a huge subject in germany this is this signaling of the early rift between the sister parties the christian democrats and the social union. there is a history of such strong words from the bavarian interests and social union especially in two thousand and fifteen they were much more clear and there were even more contradiction or but nothing happened so the christian social lists a christian social union and bavaria is known for having a very tough rhetorical and four for finding very tough virt. but they do. take their influence on the federal policy here and bowlen s

the sense is that so better is the civil war within the conservative party and within theresa may's partyef negotiator in terms of the technical behind—the—scenes negotiations. david davis is the political negotiator, i guess, david davis is the political negotiator, iguess, but david davis is the political negotiator, i guess, but there appears to be a real division between david davis and ollie robbins and yet my understanding is that 0llie robbins has the ear of the prime minister, theresa may, and if you attack 0llie robbins, then by extension, you're criticising theresa may herself and theresa may's policy on breakfast. apart from the politics surrounding this issue, what about people on the ground of both sides of the irish border? how is it affecting them, how toxic is it for them?” border? how is it affecting them, how toxic is it for them? i think the main sensation i would say in ireland is uncertainty. we have had this post referendum period dating back to june 2016. this post referendum period dating back tojune 2016. contours have not really changed, we still do not know how

as a politician she was one of the bright stars of the conservative party.leading lights of the remain campaign. and then she was theresa may's substitute in the election campaign. she is a politician who was quite fearless, and has, you know, acquitted herself extremely well in many respects. but obviously, running a huge department, a huge dysfunctional department, a huge dysfunctional department like the home office has proved too much for her. is this too much for ever, is this the end of that political career? as she goes back to the backbenches, or is it a timeout and she would return? who knows? i do think she is talented andl knows? i do think she is talented and i rememberthere knows? i do think she is talented and i remember there was that question time debate prior to the la st question time debate prior to the last general election and at the la st last general election and at the last minute jeremy corbyn turned up. but theresa may said she wasn't turning up, so who turned up? amber rudd. i thought she acquitted herself extremely well that night

it in a sense in one year brexit will be less of a divisive issue in the conservative party, one imaginesresting, the important thing is that amber rudd had changed the hostile environment policy. she had changed the terminology. it was called the complaint environment. she had very much softened, liberalised theresa may's approach, without doing it to obviously because she did not want to offend the prime minister. i think labour are going to be disappointed if they think that they can now turn the heat up on the prime minister, because i think the policy has changed and lessons have been learned and public opinion is, as ruth said, behind the windrush generation. where is the government and in terms of a reshuffle, a succession? well, theresa may is presumably thinking about this right now and we are all speculating like mad. david lidington was the other name that we were discussing. very safe pair of hands. very clever, adept minister, trusted by theresa may. he is deputy deputy prime minister at the moment. he took over from damian green, i think. minister at the moment. he took over

party. but conversely, it attracts millions of conservative and moderate democrats into the republican party. so, for instance, john connolly, thean democrat, becomes a republican. strom thurmond, the democrat, becomes a republican. john lindsay, the republican, becomes a democrat. and other cases where liberal republicans joined the democratic party. so this starts a long process. now, it's extenuated by mcgovern in '72 because, again, mcgovern is the nominee. logic dictates he should pick a more conservative running mate to produce a unified convention. but, of course, the convention's a disaster because of eagleton. he ends up with sarge shriver who was admittedly a wonderful, wonderful man and a wonderful, wonderful family, but he was also a liberal x. in this sends -- begins the process of sending more conservative democrats out of the party and attracting more liberal republicans. so by 1980 and here thereafter is that both parties have pretty much nominated only right of center or mostly right of center nominees in the republican party. the democrat party has nominated mostly or all l

because, the republican party, in the 1960s, was not yet the conservative party. we saw that when we talked about goldwater-ism, and the tensions in the republican party over goldwater's nomination. and there was -- goldwater's historic ross -- loss when the party went too far north -- right. -- the new republican that dwight eisenhower represented. so, it is not clear that they will go to the republican party in the 1960s. all right? and yet, one of the biggest stories, over the course of, particularly the second half of the 20th centuries. one of the biggest stories in american politics is the breakup of the solidly democratic south. and, the emergence of the solidly republican south. you see that justin these quick slides. this is the electoral map in the 1900s. you can see the solid democratic south here, going for the democratic candidate. compare that to the electoral map in 2000, where you see, and this is representative of the kind of electoral maps you will see. the solid wave of red throughout the former states of the confederacy. so, that is the big stor

because the republican party in the 1950s was not yet the conservative party. we saw that when we talked about gold water, and attentions within the republican party over gold water's domination and many people in the aftermath in 1964 goldwater's historic loss thought the party had gone too far right and they should recover the moderate voters and embrace the new republicanism that eisenhower represented. and see that in the quick slides. this is the map in 1900 where you can see the solid democratic south here and compare that to 2,000. this is representative of the maps that you'll see. the solid wave of red throughout the former states of the confederacy. so that's the big story, right? is the solidly democratic south becoming the solidly republican south. how did it happen? how did it happen here in the second half of the 20th century that the south moved from being the solid south in favor of republicans? and the term often times referred to the strategy of republicans to recruit conservative white southern democrats to the gop as we have all -- we refer t

because the republican party in the 1960s was not yet the conservative party. we saw that with the goldwaterism and the goldwater nomination. there are many people in the aftermath of the debacle in 1964 goldwater's historic lost thought the party had gone too far right and they should recover the moderate voters and embrace the kind of new republicanism that dwight eisenhower represented. okay? so it's not clear that they're going to go to the republican party in the 1960s. all right? and yet one of the biggest stories over the course of particularly the second half of the 20th century, one of the biggest stories in american politi politics, the breakup of the solidly democratic south and the emergence of the solidly republican south. you see that just in these quick slides. you know, this is the electoral map in 1900 where you can see, you know, the solid democratic south here going for the democratic candidate. compare that to the electoral map in 2000 where you see -- and this will be more -- this is representative of the kinds of electoral maps. you'll see

the republican party in the conservative movement remains distinct and apart from each other.even when reagan was president the conservative movement sometimes broke with reagan over tax policy in soviet policy and missile policy and things like that. i would say the republican party, yes, because their public party is the party of whoever the nominee is and adopts positions of whoever the nominee is in the public party was richard nixon's party and it was george bush's party and donald trump or dwight eisenhower's party so the party is donald trump's party today. i say conserve the moment is i wouldn't say yes, sir no. it's up for grabs right now is whether or not conservatism is going to follow tropism all the way down or not. >> (202)748-8204 and (202)748-8201 if you want to call anticipate in our conversation with craig shirley. >> guest: you don't register by parties in virginia so i'm a independent. >> host: do you consider yourself a reagan republican. >> guest: yes one is reaganism still alive? >> guest: i think so. reagan's evolving philosophy is american conservatism

care act that went and became romney care and also, to apparently in the 60s the republican party or conservative area of the party they proposed a universal minimum income at one time as a means of not having to deal with all these various different social programs and i'm wondering how that evolved to be against all these various different things at the present time even though you know that kind of thing solved problems even for them on the conservative side. >> conservatism has been evolving over many years but you are absolutely right. in 1971 the nixon administration proposed a minimally guaranteed household income which caused a split in the republic party. the group became known as the manhattan 12. they met at bill buckley's townhouse in new york city and signed a letter announcing they're split the nixon imagination led by bill buckley, jeff bell, stan evans and others. this is beginning of the break with richard nixon even before watergate. as far as the healthcare, yes, heritage administration and newt gingrich signed onto an early version of what they later opposed but again he was o
