What are the strategy, ideology and aims of the modern Conservative Party? To beat them, we have to understand them – and maybe even learn from them.

Professor Ken Spours applies the thinking of Antonio Gramsci to help us get to grips with today’s shapeshifting Tories.

Ken has provided some additional notes to accompany the show. Find them here: https://bit.ly/3xj0OnA.
