Watch the live recording of Enoch Powell’s complicated legacy. Spectator Editor Michael Gove and assistant editor Madeline Grant sat down with Simon Heffer, author of Like the Roman: The Life of Enoch Powell, described as ‘the best conservative narrative of postwar British politics’.
They explored how Powell’s early life and formidable intellect shaped his thinking, examined how he became a model for populist rhetoric and discussed why his legacy is central to understanding today’s political divisions and the rise of political parties such as Reform.
