'The Tories' renewed fixation on low taxes and 'woke bashing' is not only an unserious platform for government, but also a clear sign that these candidates don’t understand the country they hope to lead.' | ✍️ Cameron_W_Clark
But the so-called clownfall of the ‘Heinken politician’ who helped, may not prove to be the turning point that many MPs hoped for when they ousted him on Thursday – that is, if the new crop of prospective prime ministers is anything to go by.
Even the country’s current attorney-general Suella Braverman kicked off by arguing that the UK should abandon the European Convention on Human Rights. Boris Johnson himself is perhaps the best argument for this. Johnson broke with traditional Tory orthodoxy in his plans to ‘level up’ through large-scale government spending.
Yet the rampant sleaze of the Johnson administration has blinded many in the party to the key lesson of his administration – that Britain’s no longer a ‘small government’ state.
