  • Sounds like his "warning for the Tory party" is move further right or someone else will

  • What I don't get about this is that the Tories were in the wilderness for years until they moved to the centre under Cameron.

    The they moved to the right, and lost votes over time.

    Then Johnson got a thumping majority from a three-way of; not-Corbyn, resolving Brexit, and levelling-up. Then they moved further to the right and lost votes.

    I guess you could say Brexit was a move to the right and if you squint enough an anti-Corbyn vote is too, but overall nothing in voting behaviour nor survey attitudes show British voters are want a move to the right.

    If anything it's the opposite, the Tories have increased public demand for nationalisation.

  • nothing in voting behaviour

    Brexit was the uncorking of the ERG. They took the wheel after the result. The popularity of Farage probably proves there was votes there. They will continue to bang on about it for 20 years more at least. "Will of the people". Rishi is struggling to hold them off while he is governing from the day to day news headlines and was it Alastair Campbell who said that was basically the end for a leader? I still think Boris will return in some form.
