Some, yes...
But not (in the large part) past labour voters.
Read the comments in the twitter links that some people have posted and tell me that's not true. The conservatives effectively out-Brexitted the Brexit party, so it's entirely possible that they will continue to try to appeal to those who voted for Brexit for entirely shitty reasons (for example, see the twitter comments lamenting the fact that we haven't withdrawn all international development funding).
‘Vote Lenders’ are the intersection of Leavers/Corbyn-Haterz and historical Labour voters. I don’t think these are the vocal minority you describe. So why would pandering to Lenders lead to right-wing reactionary stuff? What am I missing?

That said I suspect the government will try to please both camps by also pleasing those who have entirely reasonable grievances about the state of their communities and may have voted for Brexit simply out of desire for things to somehow change. If that pulls them back towards the centre, then that would be lovely, but I'm not overly optimistic.
