Counterculture 1.05: Johnsonism - A new direction for UK Tories?

from New Culture Forum · host New Culture Forum

What type of Conservative is Boris Johnson? On this week's episode of #NCFCounterCulture we discuss the future of conservatism now that Boris Johnson has been returned as Prime Minister with a large majority following the 2019 General Election. The Tories could be in power for the next 10 years. But what kind of conservatism will steer the ship of state? Will the Thatcherites in cabinet take back control? Or will Boris Johnson find himself needing to pander to his new voters in the North of England, taken from the Labour Party in their collapsing Red Wall? Is there even such a thing as "Johnsonism"? Joining host Marc Sidwell on this week's panel to discuss this are: Douglas Chirnside, Documentary Maker and PPC for the Brexit Party in the 2019 Election Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, Historian & Broadcaster Mark Wallace, Chief Executive of Conservative Home Jamie Whyte, Editor of Smith Magazine & past Research Director at the Institute for Economic Affairs
