Show Notes
The 1922 committee is the secretive, unofficial voice of the Conservative party. Who are these Tory ‘men in gray suits’? Former BBC politics correspondent and political editor of the New Statesman, and host of Rock & Roll Politics Steve Richards talks to Alex Rees about prime ministers being held to ransom, the 1922 mindset, and Graham Brady’s secrets.
- “Tory MPs are more rebellious than ever, so the 1922 committee gets ever more relevant.”
- “The 1922 committee represents ‘honesty’ for Conservatives – toothless messengers of political truths.”
- “Graham Brady loves the role, he sees his duty as being to the Party rather than factions.”
