In this episode, we talk about his motivations for public service, the decline of conservatism in British political class, whether Gen-Z might possess a reactionary streak, what people mean when they talk about 'the blob', why developing a policy of Anglo-futurism would be a good thing, the power of vernacular architecture, why a policy of mass immigration is destructive, and why Tim Martin of Wetherspoons fame deserves a knighthood.
