You should perhaps take some time to define your terms. What exactly do you mean by ‘hard’ right? Are we talking about the violent right? (I note from previous articles that you are very keen on the use of the word ‘fascism’.) If so, then it is nonsense to suggest the recent election in Britain was a victory for for the hard right. We have to see whether he really means it — actions speak louder than words — but Johnson presents himself as a moderate one-nation Conservative.

You suggest that Labour’s manifesto was progress. Some of us found it patronising and pathetic, trying to bribe the electorate with piles of free gifts. Anyway, the brave, underpaid working-class people of the North rejected this. Good for them!
