What Boris’s right-to-buy gets wrong
Spectator (UK)APR 2022
The policy is an attempt by Johnson to save his dying premiership and is simply rehashed history. No specifics beyond broad pledges of cost-saving policies have been released and the return to Thatcherite ideology is a cheap attempt to survive what has been, for a significant time, a doomed premiership.
Whilst key questions remain as to how such a policy will be practically implemented, this is a step in the right direction and the return to Thatcherite politics will help to appease traditional Tory voters at a time of political vulnerability for Boris Johnson.
