Lee Jones – How Will the Tories Rule? Understanding Boris Johnson’s Political Project

Summary:
A non-partisan look at Johnson’s Tory Party and what Labour needs to do to win again. According to Lee Jones, Johnson’s party has shifted slightly to the left and has become more liberal, but it will still fail to tackle the problem of the financial sector in the UK. Far from being “far right” or Thatcherite, Johnson’s new project is “Red Tory”, projecting a communitarian ethos and proposing far greater state intervention in the economy. This post-neoliberal conservatism is a significant departure, but it is plagued by internal contradictions. The Full Brexit  Lee Jones - How Will the Tories Rule?
