Dr Emily Jones - "The Disraeli Myth: The Making of a Conservative Tradition"

My guest today is academic Dr Emily Jones, who is senior lecturer in modern history at the University of Manchester and the author of a new book "The Disraeli Myth: The Making of a Conservative Tradition" which has been favourably reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, The New Criterion, amongst others.

Today we discuss:

• Who Benjamin Disraeli was and why his name is still invoked in conservative circles today
• What "one nation" conservatism means and the extent to which it can be said to be Disraeli's political philosophy
• Whether he really was a dandy and opportunist as is sometimes alleged
• And what Pauline Hanson's "One Nation" party and other new nationalist parties across the West can learn from Britain's great 19th Century Prime Minister

And much, much, more
