Reform UK poses a real threat on the radical right but an improving economy and sense of hope is the best defence
In politics there are few more valuable tricks than persuading people that something is inevitable. So before we turn our eyes to the more important matter of the UK’s new government, I hope readers will indulge a final gaze at the radioactive rubble that is Britain’s right. Because it is important to nail one myth. There is nothing inevitable about the continued rise of Nigel Farage or his radical-right Reform UK.
By emphasising his broken public service inheritance, he hopes to buy time and latitude from voters. Progress will drag political discourse back to the centre. Starmer also needs to deny populists their best tunes. First by delivering on his growth and reform mission but also by offering a credible answer on immigration, making the case for it where it is necessary and controlling it elsewhere.
