WTH is Going On with the Conservative Implosion in Britain? Gerry Baker on What It All Means for the Right in America

The last four months have been, by any measure, incredibly
tumultuous for UK leadership. Former Prime Minister Boris
Johnson was ousted and replaced by Liz Truss, a new
monarch took the throne, then Truss resigned from leadership
in record time after plunging the UK economy into disarray... and
this week Rishi Sunak was sworn in as the new Prime Minister.
Americans, looking at their closest political and economic ally
across the pond, have every reason to be nervous. What happened
to the Tory Party in Great Britain, and how long can it
survive this turmoil? Is Sunak up to the task? And,
importantly, what parallels can we draw between the challenges
facing conservatism abroad, and those
facing conservatives at home?


These questions and more with our guest, Gerry Baker.
Baker is the editor at large of the Wall Street Journal. He
has a weekly column, Free Expression, that appears
every Tuesday; he also hosts “WSJ at Large with Gerry
Baker,” a weekly news and current affairs interview show on the
Fox Business Network, and the weekly WSJ Opinion podcast "Free
Expression". A former editor in chief of The Wall
Street Journal and Dow Jones, he began his career
working at the Financial Times, the Times of London and the BBC.
