Peter Hitchens on Unions, Tony Blair and the End of the Royal Family

Peter Hitchens is something of an iconoclast. Among his colleagues on the right, the Mail on Sunday columnist stands out as a heterodox thinker – yet he’s perhaps one of the few who could be described as a genuine conservative. Aaron Bastani meets him to discuss his previous life as a Trotskyist and a Moscow correspondent, and to interrogate his provocative opinions on everything from the second world war and abortion rights to the end of the Soviet Union and why he doesn’t vote.
