Grace speaks to Peter Mitchell, author of Imperial Nostalgia: How the British Conquered Themselves, which looks at how the memory of empire continues to inflect British culture and politics. We discuss how imperial nostalgia manifests itself in our politics today, the role of the Labour Party in supporting these trends, and how the left should respond to emotive calls for a return to a better age.
