What Happened to the Britain We Were Promised? | Littlewood & Cox Show
Description: Ted Newson joins Paul Cox on UKLIVE for a wide-ranging conversation about how Britain has changed, what happened to the optimism of the Brexit era, and why a new generation on the right believes the country has lost its way.
Ted explains how growing up in Clacton shaped his politics, why he is comfortable describing himself as right wing, and how his time at university reinforced his views on free speech, political conformity and the need to challenge ideas that have gone unquestioned for too long.
The discussion moves on to the Conservatives, Reform UK and the future of the British right, including whether the two sides can ever unite and what could happen if they remain divided. Ted also gives his verdict on the Conservative Party conference and argues that the party is failing to confront some of the issues most important to its base.
Paul and Ted also discuss immigration, welfare, national identity, British culture, Tony Blair, devolution, government quangos and whether too much political responsibility has been pushed away from elected ministers.
Is Britain still the country people thought they were voting for after Brexit? And can the political right offer a convincing alternative?
