On the Rocks: The Conservatives' Rift Over the Parthenon Marbles

View descriptionShare

It’s been a shockingly bad week for the prime minister and his five priorities, from the inflation surprise to the migration numbers. While our reporters Alex Wickham and Tom Rees outline how the data warns of political calamity for Rishi Sunak, could the government's underlying political woes be about ideology instead of the economy?

The Parthenon – or Elgin – Marbles have taken centre stage in Britain’s culture wars. Chair of the Parthenon Project Ed Vaizey explains his proposal on who gets to own them, why “woke” battles aren’t helping the Conservatives and his view on Rishi Sunak’s electoral chances. The former culture minister also reveals his thoughts on Jilly Cooper. Hosted by Yuan Potts, Caroline Hepker and Lizzy Burden.
