COMMENT: 'Traditional Labour voters turned to the Conservatives because they felt abandoned'
BORIS Johnson lost no time in recognising that his historic election victory was down in large part to working-class voters in the Midlands and Northern England.
The trap that Boris and his ministers must avoid is to deliver Brexit, assuming it is all they need to do to satisfy their new-found voters. But that isn’t what bothers people — and neither is his use of colourful language, however much it offends politically correct lefties in Islington. They are sick of being written off as racists and xenophobes on the grounds they are concerned about the impact of high levels of migration on wages and housing in their communities or because they see Britain’s destiny as an independent country, not part of a European superstate.There is the trendy North such as the centres of Manchester, Leeds: full of bars, nightclubs, smart apartments and served by high-speed trains.
