"They hate the rule of law... they want to get rid of the ECHR... it's very hostile to the civil service."
Peter Oborne is a journalist, author and commentator. He was the political editor of The Spectator, a commentator for the Daily Telegraph and now writes for Middle East Eye.
A long-time conservative, Oborne joins Oli Dugmore to explain why he believes the Conservative Party have abandoned their principles, and to discuss the role that successive British governments have played - or failed to play - in dealing with genocides around the world.
Peter Oborne's book "ComplicitBritain's role in the destruction of Gaza" is out now.
