Boris Britain: Themes of the new Conservative Government

Neil McAvoy

21 Jan 2020 - 10:01

It’s fair to say that it was the size of Boris Johnson’s majority, rather than the victory itself, that proved the biggest surprise in the recent General Election. Few truly believed that a Labour Party, hampered by its unpopular leadership and seemingly unfathomable policy on Brexit, could win an outright majority. Yet even some of […]

The final week of an election campaign usually sees the party leaders tour the country, doubling down on their core messaging and visiting marginal constituencies.

In 2013 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded it was “unequivocal” that global warming was the result of human actions. The UN Secretary General (unable to avoid the pun) warned: “The heat is on. Now we must act”. So far in the 2019 General Election we’ve heard much of Labour’s ‘Green Industrial Revolution’ […]

Two weeks down. Four weeks to go. The General Election campaign is now in full swing. So far the polls have shown the Conservatives comfortably ahead, with consistent leads over Labour in every opinion poll since the election was called.

However, what Labour decides to do may end up having a greater significance than events on the Conservative benches. Following months of what has […]
