CHUMS - how a tiny caste of Oxford Tories took over the UK - with Simon Kuper

Update: 2022-05-24

Description

Simon Kuper's new book examines the small group of mainly Eton, and definitely mostly Oxford, Tories took over the UK.

Simon's book delves into the combination of public school, Oxford and especially the Oxford Union shaped this group and how they found their cause - Brexit. Which was, for them, about their right to rule.

Simon's book is published by Profile Books (2022) and is a fascinating read.
