If you read the article (you did, right?) he actually says that Boris Johnson is "all talk, and no delivery" and the current government is "weak", so it's not quite what the headline suggests. I can't imagine these lines are a rehearsal for the Tory election campaign!
His essential argument is that Britain is run by a Left-wing, politico-managerial class.
However, it's also that the current government doesn't have the required skill or energy to fix the 'problem' (if you see technocrats stopping the government from doing incredibly stupid things as a problem - I'm not sure I do).
I think the real issue with his arguments is that the formation of the 'blob' has happened under both Labour and Tory governments. But as everyone here has rightly pointed out the current bunch have had 12 years to address this (if it is a problem) and have failed to do so.
