Robert Shrimsley (FT) has a worrying analysis of the far right in the UK:
'British radical right voices discern a winning Maga agenda for the UK, based around immigration crackdowns, deporting foreign criminals, scrapping net zero initiatives, pushback on trans rights & cuts to Whitehall bureaucracy. Only in their small-state hostility to the NHS do Britain’s populists offer an exploitable vulnerability'.
Can Labour's plans for the NHS deliver that potential political advantage?
