Description

‘Blue Labour’, an explicitly conservative tendency within the politics of the UK’s Labour Party, is said to be one of the few intellectual influences on the government of Keir Starmer.
So in this episode, Jeremy is joined by Alex Worrad-Andrews to answer the question on everyone’s lips: what is ‘Blue Labour’? 






We discuss the history of the term and concept ‘Blue Labour’, explore its philosophical, political and theological roots, and ask where, if anywhere, ‘Blue Labour’ is going.
