The Bunker – News without the nonsense Daily: How to CANCEL CANCEL CULTURE with Matthew D’Ancona and Nick Cohen
With the new populist Conservatives stoking culture wars, is identity politics becoming progressives’ self-inflicted weakness? Friend of the podcast and former editor of The Spectator, Tortoise’s Matthew d’Ancona joins Nick Cohen to discuss why populism is destined to fail, his new book, Identity, Ignorance, Innovation: Why The Old Politics Is Useless And What To Do About It, and leaving the cinema to find fifteen missed calls from Boris Johnson…
- “In every generation, there is a progressive moment – and this is it.”
- “There are always new elites, and there is going to be a Boris elite.”
- “The kind of conservatism I was suggesting in the 1990s doesn't really exist anymore.”
