The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Return to centre: David Gauke wages war on Tory populism


Listen Later

For a few years now the Tory party has been drifting further and further right and it’s not gone well… at all. David Gauke is the former Justice Secretary under Theresa May and has edited a book titled The Case for the Centre Right which highlights the desperate need to reverse the direction of his party back to the centre. But is there a real case for the centre right anymore? Marie Le Conte sits down with him in The Bunker to listen to his argument.

  • “Arguably this is a case that should’ve been made much earlier.” – David Gauke
  • “Now I think is the time to say let’s not go further down the line of pursuing populism.” – David Gauke.
  • “I think when you look at it Boris Johnson should not have been facilitated by the Conservative Party… they knew what they were getting.” – David Gauke
