Description
More than 30 years since the end of the great partnership between Lady Margaret Thatcher and President Reagan, the West is in crisis. In our towns, cities, and student campuses, we are assailed by identity politics, which casts aside the great values that once delivered our countries from the threat from global communism. On our borders, great movements of people seeking fortune sweep across to bring chaos and disharmony to our communities, buckling under the strain of mass immigration. All the while, we are told by the self-styled progressives that this is not a problem, that mass migration is wholly good and here to stay, that our countries must atone for their ancient sins, and that the politics of equity, rather than meritocracy, are our future. In this year’s Margaret Thatcher Freedom Lecture, Suella Braverman outlines a blueprint for the West to fight back against these toxic ideologies and ensure the enduring prosperity of our great countries.
The Freedom Lecture honors the principles, ideals, vision, and legacy of Lady Thatcher. Previous lecturers have included Ambassador Nikki Haley, Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, conservative authors and commentators Charles Krauthammer and Victor Davis Hanson, and foreign statesmen including former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, and former U.K. International Trade Secretary Liam Fox.
