Many of the ways in which government and diplomacy work today were created by David Lloyd George, Britain’s leader during the First World War. Sophisticated bureaucracies to enact the will of the executive, civilian control over the military, international summits to resolve crises, etc.
In his new book Rivals in the Storm, former Conservative MP Damian Collins explores how this master strategist restructured British politics, society, and the state to win the fight against Germany — and how we’re still living with what he wrought.
Aaron and Damian also discuss the future of the Conservative Party after its recent defeat, how the new Labour government is doing in office, as well as how we can best regulate tech companies like X and Meta.
