By Lord Samuel Jack- https://x.com/SamuelJJack2 The great irony of right of centre politics in Britain is that it often commands broad popular sympathy, yet repeatedly engineers its own defeats. Not because the ideas are unpopular, but because the people advancing them insist on doing so separately, competitively, and often vindictively. The pattern is familiar. First there was UKIP, then the Brexit Party, followed by the ill fated pact with Boris Johnson, and now Reform UK.
