The Reformist

The Conservatives should look to Theresa May and Andy Street for future policy ideas on levelling up. At least May actually seemed to give a shit about those sort of policy ideas as it seems does Andy Street. Red Toryism is the future.

Farage isnt enough of a teamplayer to run a govt, for all the fantasists yearning for O great Brexit leader.

Sunak’s, “we are delivering, everything is fine” statement could have done with more humility and reflection, instead sounded too robotic.

He has to choose a side, either moderation and pragmatism or being pulled along by the Right, then again maybe he is more Right wing than people think he is.

Brexit hasn’t been diabolical, nor has it been a roaring success, a botched new immigration system that did the opposite of what was intended through the vote, high salary thresholds only happening now, 4 years late after leaving the Single Market in 2020.

GDP growth will pick up due to falling interest rates and inflation at or around 2%, PMI figures for the UK are encouraging compared to the continent, with growth of 1.2% this year quite possible and close to 2% in 2025, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

A cycle of doom is in Labour’s interest to perpetuate as a General Election approaches, though the question is, will this exit from the cost of living crisis be enough to resucitate the Conservatives political fortunes in time to narrow the polling gap with a new Party leader.

In order to maintain some sort of opposition to a Starmer supermajority in the House of Commons, with votes for 16 year olds and whatever securonomics ends up bringing us for good or ill.
