labour thought it was a labour/conservative race and the conservatives would win it.ot looking bad and they shifted resources up here from uxbridge, high hopes that would be a big win. in uxbridge they started thinking we should be ok, it is a 7,000 majority for borisjohnson at the last election. we should do that. then the data looked bad, because of anger over ulez. it looked bad. in the last two weeks the data has looked betterfor the last two weeks the data has looked better for labour and they're confident. forthe looked better for labour and they're confident. for the liberal democrats in somerton and froome, everyone started that campaign thinking they would win it and everyone is ending it thinking they will win it. rumours of reshuffles, where does politics go from here? yes. rumours of reshuffles, where does politics go from here?— politics go from here? yes, well, obviously. _ politics go from here? yes, well, obviously. big — politics go from here? yes, well, obviously, big impact _ politics go from here? yes, well, obviously, big impact on - politics go f

that's not good for the conservatives.od as 1997, uxbridge does just put that question mark there. a commentator on the tories said it could have been a lot worse for rishi sunak. it is a mixed bag and not quite the full horror show that some tory mps were anticipating, which would have been a triple by—election defeat for rishi sunak. they managed to cling on in uxbridge. of course voters are undecided so not particularly decisive, but a win is a win in this case. that's giving i think those looking for reasons to be more optimistic something to attach themselves to. but still the picture's pretty bleak if you're a tory mp in a seat even in the region of 20,000. a brief moment on the stage. labour will be hoping selby reflects the national mood. look south to uxbridge, say the tories, and see our salvation. so does the combination of a hefty swing to labour in the north and one to the lib dems in the south catch the government in an electoral vice? i put that to senior conservative mp and former secretary of state andrea

the word conservation is derived from the word conservative. a true conservative is one that's a good steward of the environment and takes care of what we've got so it'll be better in the future. this rule by the fish and wildlife service listing the prairie chicken is not about conservation. it's about moving a political agenda. i had the great opportunity to study forestry at the yale school of the environment, as it's now called, the yale school of forestry, there was somebody that went through that program decades before i did, his name was ald leopold. she's quoted probably as often as anybody in the world of conservation. one of my favorite quotes of his, he said there are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. one is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace. how applicable is that today in the world that we live in where you've got an urban america that doesn't realize what rural america provides for the rest they have country. they really think food comes from the

- nearly 24% from conservative to labour.- i make that - nearly 24% from conservative to labour.- icond—biggest swing ever in a parliamentary by—election from conservative to labour. and when was the last time that the labour party was recording a performance on that kind of scale? well, it was the 1992—97 parliament that did not end happily for the conservatives. certainly if you put together what was a 26—point drop in the conservative vote in selby, together with the 29% drop in somerton — yes, the conservatives managed to stem the outgoing tide from which they are seemingly suffering in uxbridge, but it seems to me that there's little gain saying the fact that the tide is still a long way out for the conservatives, and they still have an awful long way to go before they look as though they might have a chance of being able to retain power after the next general election. 0bviously we're focused on these by—elections this evening. but, just briefly, we could have a couple of others coming down the track, which could cause further headaches for rishi sunak?— could cause further he

but like coolidge, davis grew increasingly conservative. by 1924, davis was as conservative as coolidge, which prompted the third party candidate of robert la follette. la follette was a republican, and his running mate was a democrat. that was in the splintered party of the progressive party. an important aspect of coolidge's legacy was the realignment of american political parties, which has continued now for 100 years. coolidge's landslide victory in 1924 established the republican party as the conservative party, while the democrats became the progressive party. shortly after election day, 1924, franklin roosevelt declared that it was, quote, for the democrats wear the livery of the conserve ative end quote. that's the lesson. the democrats have not yet forgotten. the ongoing struggle between conservatism and progressivism still bears. today, the imprint of calvin coolidge. thank you. thank. thank you, garvin. we turn now to chris cox. chris. thank you, chris. by the time coolidge took the national stage, the progressive era had run its

so, it's fun to participate as a conservative, as a contrarian. i do not derive much pleasure by preaching to the choir or being surrounded by people who agree with me. the two books we are going to talk about today both spring out of that affinity for the contrarian christian. when i wrote read november in 2020 about the democratic primary, i was doing so as a conservative surrounded by democratic voters, going to all the different democratic presidential candidate events, going to all the early primary states, talking to left-wing and liberal voters whom i may not have had much in common other than an interest in politics. but i really wanted to experience the process of nominating a democratic presidential nominee from within that process, but as a conservative with a different perspective. likewise with my biography of my mother, she lived her entire life as a contrarian. passed away about a year ago. but right until the end she was challenging people on social media, challenging people through her columns, often taking views on political issu

conservatives also believe in private property. and that private property is essential for the central preconditions for freedom. conservatives also believe in voluntary associations and not collectivism and especially not in voluntary collectivism schemes. conservatives leave in separation of powers and prudent use of power, but also appreciate and understand the need for authority and government and it is in the tension between individual liberty and the need for that which we appreciate. we try to strike a reasonable balance between those two things. then, the last principle of russell kirk, i mean, how can you know of it. -- not love it. change needs to be reconciled. we need to -- we live in a society that is always changing and moving for. it is not the bad thing but it is not the only thing. there has to be something that draws you back to the past and a good, vigorous society is reconciling those two things, change versus permanence. gk chesterton made the point that look, as conservatives, you always had to be renewing ins

i hear from conservatives. you know, there really isn't anything in your book about personal responsibility, which is something you would hear a lot about if you were going around interviewing conservative poverty experts. there's nothing really about addiction. opioids have killed a million people. cry time doesn't really factor in very much. so you know, coming back to the conservative argument that we do have. yeah, there's there's a formula for success. finish high school, get a job, stay out of prison, don't do drugs, get married before you have kids. i'm. i think that's what you would hear in a conservative audience in terms of reacting to your book. yeah, i disagree, my friend. i think there's quite a lot in there about personal responsibility, but it's our responsibility. you know, it's our responsibility to the the protected classes. you know, we do have a culture of poverty in america. you know, it's a culture of exploitation. it's a culture of opportunity hoarding. it's a culture of segregation. it's

heard about the new conservatives .7 well, they're conservatives? well, they're basically a part of the old conservatives, but we'll gloss over that bit. they have got a 12 point migration plan. they want to bring net immigration down to circa 200,000. what do you make to this? do you think that plan will ever be achieved? and what does it say about rishi sunaks premiership that his groups are splitting up and going in different directions and suella braverman, do you remember one of her chief allies was steve baker ? cast your mind was steve baker? cast your mind back. he was pretty much a campaign manager when she tried to be prime minister. get this. so he's now removed his support . why? because brace yourself, everyone. are you ready ? she has everyone. are you ready? she has had the audacity to connect british, pakistani men to grooming gang steve baker says it's a step too far. grooming gang steve baker says it's a step too far . what says it's a step too far. what says you? and have you seen the ridiculous video of the pcso refusing to get i

clearly, number ten is worried that the conservatives - worried that the conservatives remain a longs. and therefore, i think they are looking for a breakthrough with something that people will notice. and they themselves noticed that in the uxbridge by—election, this issue did cut through. so the prime minister is now setting himself up to be the motorists friend but that of course brings problems for him and the conservatives, not least of which was mentioned earlier, the fact that the conservative party and government, borisjohnson in government, boris johnson in particular, government, borisjohnson in particular, was very fond of low traffic neighbourhoods and funded a large number of them. so the government has got to do a u—turn here. it government has got to do a u-turn here. , ., , here. it is not 'ust. .. the confusion _ here. it is not 'ust. .. the confusion is _ here. it is notjust. .. the confusion is both - here. it is notjust. .. the confusion is both within i here. it is notjust. .. the i confusion is both within the here. it is notjust. .. the - confusion is both with

the conservatives into conservatives are heading into opposition are heading conservatives are headingoppositi al are heading conservatives are heading into oppositi a majorityare heading conservatives are heading into oppositi a majority andieading conservatives are heading into oppositi a majority and if|ding towards a majority and if anything, what few conservatives seem to have picked up on is labour actually performed at these by elections as well as they're performing in the national polls. that should really worry number 10. it's not like the by elections a few months ago where they underperformed the national polling here. they polling story here. they actually performed as well as the national polls, which suggests, again to me that the conservatives are in serious, serious . serious trouble. >> aubrey allegretti , this is >> aubrey allegretti, this is now a bit confusing to me because we're being told that this issue of the environment doesn't matter to voters. and yet we're also being told that it was the key factor in the conservative is holding on to uxbridge. conservative

your first book was about conservative politics. conservative. it was about the gubernatorial, the governorship of ronald reagan and kind of this kind of critical moment in his rise to national prominence. and i think one of the things that kind of you recognize when you do this work kind of professionally is that the the present is always shaping our understanding of the past. and for you and i, we've been working on the history of conservative for 20 years and a lot of the stuff that was written 20 years ago was kind of trying to take conservative ideas seriously to try to understand how conservatism conservatives kind of came to power from the 1960s through the 1990s. and it was it was about of the major establishment figures and these figures like the john birch society were seen, you know in that in that you know but now it's like the present changes our understanding of the past and things look differently so so i mean, is it right to say that the kind of the present moment the american politics since 2016 essentially makes you think differ

, the conservatives that labour, the conservatives that labour, the conservatives that labour only needsion to be to have to have a working majority, a big majority really in parliament. so that's going to be a real, real blow if the conservatives and already we're seeing labour coming out with a lot of lines, a lot of quite scary historical lines for the conservatives , it's the biggest conservatives, it's the biggest by—election win in the post war penod. by—election win in the post war period . for example, it is the period. for example, it is the biggest swing from one party to from from the from a government party to a direct opposition party to a direct opposition party in sort of 30, 40 years. it is a very bad night for the conservatives. there's a little bit of comfort there in uxbridge and i think even though somerton was a big majority, they were expecting to see it overturned just that lib just because of that huge lib dem presence. but selby , there's dem presence. but selby, there's no at all and rishi sunak no excuse at all and rishi sunak will be quaking in his boots this
