Culture wars and class politics: examining the dividing lines
Tue 22.09.20
6PM–7:30pm
GMT+1 / British Summer TimeCapacity: Loading...
With UK politics gripped by a “culture war” - which the right is winning - how should the left understand and respond to these dynamics? This session will explore what is driving this “culture war”, how it impacts class struggle, whether it’s possible for the left to avoid it and, if not, what an effective strategy for engaging with it looks like.

Lisa Nandy is an MP for the Labour Party in the constituency of Wigan. She also serves as the Shadow Foreign Secretary.
