To quote him:
"When people voted for change in 2016 and when people voted for change again in 2019 ... they voted for the end of a broken model of the UK economy that relied on low wages and low skill and chronic low productivity and we are moving away from that."
Well, that remains to be seen - but he is moving further and further left all the time. Obviously, this will bring him to the centre - basically where Blair was.
The only problem he's got is that he's ok with all the borrowing and raising taxes, telling employers to pay higher wages and invest in training - to their cost and that of their shareholders (if they have any) ... but his Party really aren't.
Boris is very unusual for a Tory he wants to be loved; he doesn't want everyone to think he's a cunt. That puts him at odds with all those Tories who don't care if people think they're cunts.
Tories like JRM, who had this to say:
"... tax is about the highest level it has been since the war ... we are at the upper reaches of the reasonableness of the tax burden. We are [at] about the limit of what taxes we can raise."
Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?
The question is, can Boris hold him and his kind off, long enough to effect long term changes for the better?
Or will it be back to the usual playbook - fuck every one outwith our base? |
