The brexiteers within the Tory ranks make a lot of noise, but the vast majority of the parties MPs were staunch remainers.
And a lot of them represent metropolitan seats that are also pro-remain. And then theres the issue of funding. The business leaders who traditionally fund the party must be looking on in horror at the potential economic damage to their incomes inherent in the present suicidal hard Brexit approach. I doubt they’ll be shy about pointing this out
Murdoch and Dacre might strike fear into the Tory leadership but I suspect not as much as upsetting the people who write the cheques. And those people now have a party which actually best represents their economic interests
Let’s just stop and have a think about that for a minute, shall we? The Labour Party, led by supposed arch-socialist Corbyn is now more closely aligned with the interests of the boardrooms and bankers than an increasingly unhinged Tory ‘leadership’
I predict all hell breaking loose within the party after the parliamentary recess, because that situation simply can’t hold, especially given the leadership vacuum at the top
