This is mostly just falling interest rates and increased demand. There was no Thatcherite model of housing, the post war system ran out of land.

The British state has been rationing housing since ww2 in order to fund other priorities. The only viable product is crap housing estates on cramped parcels of land. The state can deliver more efficiently only by exempting itself from the system it created.

Right wing in 2026 means anti-immigration and anti-"woke". The coalition government were obviously neither of these things.

We no longer have the ability to physically reshape our cities, low density and low connectivity is obviously a nightmare for retail but that is what we inherited.

The first thing that strikes you about Prosper's launch is the complete absence of policy. These guys should just campaign for rejointing the EU, their days of policing the right of politics are over.

I think wishful thinking about manufacturing (that we dont need it) is the root cause. Thatcherism if it exists, is the belief that we don't need to worry about our lack of industry and high trade deficit.

Isn't this mostly about Brexit? The Tory left got its way on most other issues and seem to have very little policy demands.

Also pro-immigrationists who undermine the cultural solidarity that produces such societies.

GDP incentive would just encourage another Boriswave, falling living standards leading to higher pay for politicians doesn't seem smart.

The UK would still have one of the highest rates of immigration in the world, seems an easy argument for reducing it even further.

This is just bothsideism, the fee demanded by the EU was so absurd that they clearly didn't want a deal.

British exceptionalism at its finest. None of that foreign muck (cheaper, higher quality housing), just good old post war British planning for me please.

Trump delivered on his anti-immigration policies, that is obviously very important to a lot of people.

I think the same but in reverse as a right winger. Think this is just an effect of polarisation.

That London has been economically stagnant for two decades is not very apparent in the UK media.

Anti-China sentiment must be the most elitist cause in the UK. Barely any grassroots support outside of Chinese minorities living in the UK, yet a large presence in parliament and national media.

This is obviously not true, the Americans still have Guantanamo for example. The UK position was about maintaining the pretence of international law.

Maybe we should attach a 2yr work visa to British made widgets? Exports up in no time.

The position of the Tories in government is surely the odd one, what sort of normal centre right party would support this deal?

Where does right to self-determination end? The Chagossian case seem more like evicted tenants from a London housing estate than ethnically cleansed group.

The US was always going to retain the base, the deal was about Starmer and/or Foreign Office not wanting to be embarrassed.

A good example is when university workers complain that the government should support them like they did with British Steel. Imagine how happy the steel sector would be if they could give away a 2yr work visa if you buy a few grand worth of steel.

One Nation Tory seems a meaningless term, Cleverly is also a very stupid man.

I read it, same old idea that municipal revival can come from more knitting groups and skateparks. Only so many ways you can rebrand the same regeneration policy of the last 30 years.

British towns and cities dont produce enough exportable goods and services. Focusing on locally produced and consumed services is clearly ignoring the real problem and will just result in disused government funded "community hubs".

Starmer ran on a nothing manifesto and has no personal public popularity to keep backbenchers in line, there is nothing he can do.

Callaghan and Thatcher seem the most impressive post war pms to me, which suggests it was the time they governed that made them rather than innate character. A brief moment of realism that entered British politics, that soon disappeared.

I think "do stuff that works" is not possible in the current regime. Starmer, like his predecessors doesn't have the mandate to implement the change needed.

Thatcher's Bruges Speech and deposition does make her a form of martyr but its continued existence in parliament is largely as a form of troublemaking. Thatcherism being a largely imaginary ideology(it had already failed by 1981) is easily retconned as anti-EU.

I think it clearly different in that euroscepticism was largely a British phenomenon while anti-immigration is the norm for most centrist and right wing parties across the world.
