What does that even mean in 2024? Culture war grift, statist clientelism and solipsistic gnomism, or a red trousered claret fueled long walk home after driving the Landie into a ditch after village evensong.

What does that even mean in 2024?
This is an excellent question that needs exploring.
My sense is the general UK public don't really buy into the culture war narrative. And definitely not in the way the US has.
Take something like trans rights - while there may be a range of views on policy specifics like sports, ages, etc. the general view is let people be who they want to be.
You're seeing a jockeying for the future of the Conservatives - Liz Trusses popular (lol) conservativism, trad Conservativism, etc.

Increasingly desperate anti-immigration, anti-trans, anti-woke, anti-disadvantaged, anti-whatever they can think of stuff I reckon.
They're not going to be able to do anything about the big issues like cost of living (whether due to practical or ideological reasons) so they've convinced themselves this is the way to go and if they're losing votes to reform they have to do it harder

I can only see this pushing the Tories further to the right.
