Make Education A Level Playing Field

Boris Johnson can thank Nigel Farage for his win in Hartlepool, where in the General Election the Brexit Party took more than 10,000 votes. In short, once the habit of a lifetime’s loyalty to one party was broken, voters found the courage to switch completely.

Indeed, Boris owes the size of his parliamentary majority to the Brexit Party’s having taken votes away from Labour and there are still some 36 seats where the combined Brexit Party/ Conservative vote was greater than the winning Labour’s and which therefore could still fall to the Conservatives in a future general election.
