My guest today is James Orr, Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Cambridge and the UK Chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation. We spoke about James' work in organising the NatCon UK conference, why the Conservative Party is going to do so badly at the general election, and whether or not the 1960s should be understood as a second reformation.

In the extended part of the episode, we spoke about the fragile alliance between Islamism and wokism and whether it is likely to hold, and why conservatives need to get better at forming transnational alliances.
