Conservative radicalism: who should the Tories target? with Jack Rankin MP

Conservative radicalism: who should the Tories target? with Jack Rankin MP

Can the Conservatives win back voters' support through a new kind of 'conservative radicalism'?


Jack Rankin, Conservative MP for Windsor, joins James Heale to explain why he believes a focus on aspiration and wealth creation, paired with political courage to combat 'short-termism and stakeholderism', would enhance the Party's appeal and energise its supporter base. Jack argues that Conservative politicians need to be more honest about the country's problems, including with immigration and integration – where the expectation of a minimum level of British values should be set. He doesn't shy away from discussing the Tories' challenging record too, reflecting on political unity, the need for party reform and the flaws of 2019 election winner Boris Johnson.


Plus: as the former PPS to Robert Jenrick, what does he make of the challenge posed by Reform?
