Summary

Jordan Peterson’s right-wing conference hosted a weird mix of climate change skeptics and conspiracy theorists – but also the leader of the opposition. How did a fringe movement with roots in conspiracy theory secure a prime spot at London’s ExCeL Centre and draw in such an array of speakers? Stella Tsantekidou, author of The Human Carbohydrate, joins Seth Thévoz to unpack her experience at The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference to find out what its rise in popularity could mean for the future of British politics.
